RIGH STRIKE OF MERCURY The discovery of quantitiee of mercury on the basement floors of several houses on Kristan avenue, North Chicago, by two Waukegan high school instructors may result in the location of a mercury pocket or the finding of large veins of cin-- nabar ore, either of which vrould mean hun&'ods of thousands of dol-- lars to the owners of the land. The discovery of the mercury was made several weeks ago by E. J. Neary, Annis, instructor of chemistry in three basements during the past few weeks and enough has been procured to assure Neary and Annis that the discovery is no dream. It was . at first thought that the finding was a hoax placed there by someone in order to promote the sale of the the work and may invest some mon-- ey in the project. If cinnabar ore is found in all 'he lots, a total of $450,000 would un-- doubtedly be gained by the two pro-- been found. Mercury is of great value, Mr. Neary stated, there being only Professor Neary and Professor Annis have been working ° on the tests for several weeks and have se-- cretly bought up 15 lots in the vic-- inity of the discovery. Neary stated that Superintendent Thalman of the The mercury taken from the vari-- ous properties by the high school in-- structors has been carefully tested by themselves and by the senior high school principal, C. E. Prichard, who is a master chemist. An expert geologist employed by the Standard Oil company. who is a friend of Neary, looked the ground over and tested the earth in the : neighbor-- hood. He stated that the earth con-- tained much sulphur and undoubt-- edly either cinnabar ore or a pocket of mercury must be located in the vicinity in order to produce the globules of mercury which nave two pockets of clear mercury in the United States A pocket 10 feet square would contain about $900,000 worth of mercury, he said, while a tract of cimnnabar ore a mile square might result in the finding of mil-- lions of dollars worth of mercury. If cinnabar ore is found, factories would have to be built to extraci the mercury from the ore by certain fessors who state that each lot would average about $30,000 in ore is acquainted with the tenant in the first house where the mercury was discovered. He and Professor Neary made an investigation and found that children in the neighbor-- hood have been scraping the mer-- cury from the ground and playving with it until their mothers decided that it must be some kind of poison seening from the ground and in-- structed them to leave it alone Another indication that mercury is to be found deep in the ground was learned by the professors when John them that a Norwegian family some time ago sunk a well 40 feet deep on Fulton, realty dealer who handles water because it tasted too strongly of sulphur.. 'The two professors and the other chemists and geologists who are aid-- ing them have determined that the mercury must come down from a slight hill located a few hundred feet from the basements where the glob-- ules form. It is believed that the rain which falls on the hill helps to wash the mercury through the earth and into the basement. % ferent spots located on the proper-- ties brought up by the professors in an» effort to locate the mercury pocket or the vein of cinnabar ore which the men believe is certainly to be found. If the expectations of the profes-- sors come true, North Chicago and Waukegan -- will become known throughout the country for this ex-- treme product, mercury, and in --all probability both cities will boom and new industries will come to take part in the refining of the pre. It is possible that the two pro-- fessors and other persons owning land in the vicinity may become rich as a result of the discovery. A shaft is being sunk in the base-- ment in ore of the houses and the earth which is removed each foot or so is being tested by Mr. Prichard. The work will be carried on in dif-- made defendants in six informations filed Friday in the County court by State's Atfi'i'ney A. V.

The ac-- cident occurred on June 5 in Green Bay road, north of Grand avenue. Robert and James Ransom, broth-- ers, 18 and 15 years old respectively, and Henry Goodwin, 19, all of Mun-- Ait by Friedaman and all were in-- Jjured. Friedman and his wife both sustained injuries Goodwin was se-- rioua:i injured, but his condition has shown improvement, it was said at the Lake county general hospital. Goodwin suffered three deep lacerations on the back of his head,-- a three--inch cut over his right eye, and a bad cut on his neck extending from his right ear to his Adam's apple, and body cuts and bruises. ' Driver Arrested _ Friedman was arrested after the ac-- cident by the office of Sheriff Doo-- little on a warrant procured by one of the Mundelein boys, charging reck-- less driving. He was released in bonds and his case set for June 14 by Jus-- tice Hoyt, but Col. Smith decided to try the case in the County court and to change the charge. Friedman, in trying to pass another machine ran headon into the Mundelein car.> He claims he turned out when a machine stopped suddenly in front of him. Arthur Ne!lson, Ernest Velin and Stephen Oglesby of Waukegan, were made defendants in an information charging a violation of the prohibi-- tion law and Joseph and Frances Slack of Waukegan, were named in another information charging a liquor violation. Theodore Soderquist and Morris C. Jensen, both of Waukegan, were ramed in informations charging wife and child abandonment. .

For the most part, the delegates SPRINGFIELD, Il!., June 9.--The invasion of the Illinois delegation on the Republican National. convention at Kansas City, scheduled to open Tuesday, June 12, is under way. Many of the 61 delegates from Illi-- Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinocis, and one of the staunch supporters of the middlewest farm-- ing .. interests. However, Mayor Taompson of Chicago is a "draft Coolidge" man and will have some half dozen Chicago --delegations be-- hind him. Downstate delegates, however, have expressed themselves as believing that the Chicago mayor Lowden is scheduled to be in Kan-- sas City for the opening of the con-- vention. Vice--president Charles G. Dawes, also popularly mentioned as a possibility for the presidential can-- didacy, will not attend the conven-- tion, however, according to an an-- nouncement from Washington. Senator Charles S." Deneen is the chairman of the Illinois deélegation. Lowden will be placed in nomination by Otis Glenn, Republican nominee for U. S. Senator. Preceding the opening of the na-- tional convention, the Illinois dele-- gation will hold a caucus Monday evening, June 11, at the Baltimore notel. This meeting will be called to order by National Committeeman Allem F. Moore of Monticello, whose term has expired. Whether his suc-- cessor will be named at this caucus is problematical. State . Treasurer Garret Kinney, Peoria, has been men-- tioned for the office, but the vacancy may not be filled until after the na-- tional convention. s spite his recent statement that Cool-- idge should be the choice of the Kansas City convention. n 14 FROM LAKE coUNTY GIVEN THEIR DEGREES six of whom are from Waukegan, are to be found in the list of those to get degrees at the University of Tllinois at the commencement ex-- ercises on Wednesday.

This sentiment was reflected in an editorial from the New York Sun, printed conspicuously in the Kansas City Journal today which said: "It is known that the president does not desire another term. It is not known:; however. whether he would refuse another term. "Why, then, does not the conven-- tion itself ask him whether he would accept? : + * City In Festive Dress -- However worried leaders were over the fate of the Republican party con-- vention, Kansas City in festive dress welcomed the visiting thousands with unbounded hospitality. The streets were gaily decorated, a gigantic flag or electric lights hung across the can-- yon of a downtown street, official greeters wearing huge badges pa-- trolled the streets to amswer ques-- tions, bands marched back and forth, arrrangements were made for a big old--fashioned torchlight parade to-- night, the city's famous "pillar of fire" war memorial was functioning perfectly again. -- In fact everything was in realiness for a memorable test against alleged inequalities be-- tween agriculture and industry, while from the east came Andrew W.

There is a possi-- bility, but not a certainty, that a new tank will be needed within the next 7 or 8 years. If so, the only way of getting it would be by rais-- ing the water rates and the use of water certificates. (Continued from Page 1) should overflow the present tank.
