AT NAVY YARDS
OF PHILADELPHIA
1MII1.ADICI.PMIA, Veb. 0. Condi
tions along the river front, ut the
navy yards, tho government ursennls
und tliu private urnmnicnt plants to
day assumed a war time aspect with
every conceivable precaution In force
to prevent overt acts by fanatics or
others hostile to the United States.
In semi-official and civilian circles
patriotic and preparedness measures
wero everywhere apparent. Itccruit
fng stations were overwhelmed with
applications for service in both the
army and navy. Scores of Industrial
establishments havo volunteered
their services to the government in
case of necessity. The state's Na
tional Guard, according to Adjutant
General Stewart, "Is ready as never
beforo for active duty."
One hour and half was added today
to the working day of all civilian em
ployes at the navy yard except those
in the public supplies department
The yard virtually is cut off from
public communication, even personal
telephone calls to sailors and marines
being forbidden. Most of the war
ships of the Atlantic reserve fleet
are said to bo in readiness for im
mediate service.
The Pennsylvania Women's Divis
ion of (National Preparedness, has
tendered its services to the nation in
event of war. It has 400 nurses en
rolled and funds to equip two field
hospitals. The Pennsylvania rail
road has offered the division 500
beds. The division has forty conva
lescent homes for sick and disabled
soldiers and sailors In this city
, alone.
20 PERCENT ORE
AT BLUE LEDGE
By W. V. WATSON'.
Superintendent P. YV. Carnahau of
the Hlno Ledge Mine, nreonivanlod
by Mrs. Carnahau, came down from
their mountain home this week for
a few days in tho city, while Mr. Car
nahau attended to business relative
to tho continued shipment of ore to
tile Tacoma smelter. Another carload
will be ready for shipment Wednesday.
Mr. Carnahan believes that tho new
organization' recently effected . in I"
Medford and known as the Mineral
Development league may accomplish
much good iu Increasing the world's
knowledge of our vast copper field
and the inducement It offers to In
vestors of capital In mining enter
prises. He believes that Investors,
whose money Is needed to develop
these mines commercially, would be
much more willing to come and In
vestigate the situation if they knew
how conveniently and adequately
such an investigation could be made
in brief time, owing to the complete
ness and extent of development work
already done. An Immense showing
is opened, exhibiting the stupendous
deposits of rich copper ore, in which
are both gold and silver iu consider
able quantities.
Strike nt IHuo Ledge.
It has developed that, when work
w-as stopped on the Illuo Ledge mine
some years ago, the tunnel oxporu-
tions were within a few feet of the
immense ledge of 20 per cent copper
ore, recently uncovered. The ledge
at that time measured nine feet In
face, while the recent discovery
measures" 40 feet and Is constantly
becoming richer in copper. It runs
ilso from jr. to $G in gold and con
tains some silver.

MADRID, Feb. 0. The govern
ment has prepared a reply to the
communication from Washington In
viting the neutrals to associate them
selves .with the United States in Its
policy regarding the German naval
I measures. The reply will be submit
ted to the lenders of the minority
parties and then passed upon finally

former owned by Andrew Jeldncss lie tomorrow
and the latter by K. L. Jones, shows
an equal increase in rich ore and
enlargement of ledges. An investi
gation of tboso properties will leave
no place for doubt as to their charac
ter. To use the word "immense" in
description of their showing Is to
crowd it to the limit of its significa
tion. Ore Very Well.
While a score or moro of other
properties In that field may provo
to be equally rich In copper and gold
as they are opened more fully,
miners appear to ho justified in fig
uring largely on 2 0 per cent copper
ore as they get hack into the depths
of the mountain. That means $1"6
a ton in copper alone, at Its present
market quotation. Government as
says of these ores on practically
suiierficlally showing, after a verti
cal exposure of 800 feet and a hori
zontal exposure of 2000 feet had
been made, show $22 per ton of cop
per ore.
It is estimated that a dozen proper
ties, including mines opened on lioth
sides of the California-Oregon line.
havo ore blocked out at tho present
time measuring 1,925,000 tons. On
the government assays, therefore
this tonnage is worth $42,3r,0,0O0.
The increased value of ore In copper
content alono would make this stu
pendous figure a vast sum.
Posting the Public.
It Is not a question as to whether
or not this rich tonnage is wortli the
cost of transportation to a smelter,
even by teams as Is now being done;
it Is rather a matter of getting this
information to investors. That will
be the object of the Mineral Develop
ment league. A general distribution
of these alluring figures among peo
pie, who know nothing of mining will
do little good. The purpose Is to get
them to people whose business Is tho
development of big mining proper
ties people with money enough to
handle colossal enterprises of this
nature.

WASHINGTON, Feb. C It is
stated aiitlioritativelv that there is a
perfect understanding between the
I'nited States and .Inpau on the
working of the new immigration law
and that on neither side is there nnv
apprehension of friction or difficult v.
A careful study of the law dis
closes no discrimination against Jap
anese and no provision for their ex
clusion from tile I'nited States,
I niter tho Knot-1 alialura agree
ment, Japanese coolies nre kept out
by tiie act ot their own government
in denying llieni passports, but not
by any act of the I'nited States aov
ermiicut. Tiie fact that the new law provides
for continued exclusion of nlicns
"now in any way'' excluded from en
try to the Tinted States does not lif
ted Japanese because these remain
away of tlieir own volition nnd not
through prohibition hnpuscd by the
United Slates.
I'nder this understanding the Jnp
ancse government has refrained from
any protest ngniiist the act in its
final form, though inquiry was made
to clear up the exact meaning of
thai part.
TO LEAVE BERLIN
P.F.UI.1N, Feb. G. Whatever may
be their feelings toward the United
Stales, Germans In llerllu and, as
far as has been heard outsldo the
capital, have manifested considera
tion and courtosy toward Americans
since the news wus received of the
breaking oft of diplomatic relations.
Aside from an occasional frank com
ment on tho action of the American
government, no acts of an unfriend
ly nature havo been reported.
Tho only difficulty which has heon
reported thus far bus been at one dis
trict hendquurterB of police which is
charged with vlselng passports to go
abroad. Officials of tho passport
department refused to vise passports
until tho holders wero able to show
steamer tickets to America. On the
other band tho police in tho main
residential district are accepting "re
turn to America'' as an adequate
reason for departure hut aro Insist
ing that the customary interval of
a fortnight for military Investigation
of tho application cannot be waived.
