Columbia university, New York, on the stepa of the university'a library. s Murray Butler, president of Persia is Rich in Mineral Wealth Natural Itesouroes of Ancient Country Are Almost , ,-<• rJneotlmable.^ DIFFICULTY OF Chief Obstacle In Way of Development-- Various Schemes Already 11 Hand for Construction dt----- •/ Railway Linea,' i/ondon.--The natural resources of Persia are almost inestimable, and up to the present the great wealth of this ancient country has .scarcely been touched. The now famous Anglo-Persian oil fields are a vivid example of what can be done when the necessary enterprise and capital are forthcoming. The large area over which this company possesses the rights of working contains an almost Inexhaustible, supply of olL There Is at least one other oil field In Persia waiting to be exploited. A few Baku experts have known for some time of the existence of oil in the northeastern part of the country. This district is Judged to be exceedingly rich in oil-bearing strata and Is situated close to the southeastern shore of the Caspian sea. Beyond any doubt, says the London Times, the plateau of Persia Is extremely rich in mineral wealth, but the question has been how to work it, owing to the difficulty of transport In the past reliance has had to be placed on mules and camels, whose loads cannot possibly exceed 400 or 600 pounds. This being so, the importation of the necessary heavy machinery has been altogether out of the question, and as a result the greater pert of Persia's rich mineral wealth lies dormant. • Preeieua Metals. Seventy miles or so to the north of Isfahan Is a disused gold' mine that was originally worked by the Persians themselves. The ore was extracted in a crude and antiquated way and then carried to Teheran on the backs of mules, a distance of over 200 miles. There the gold was extracted by some old-fashioned process, and as the prof- Its only covered the expenses the mine was ultimately closed down. With modern methods and up-to-date ma* chinleerryy^t>frnn the spot such a venture should prove a very paying concern. Gold dust Is found in various parts of Persia, principally In the river beds, but not In any great quantity, with perhaps one exception. It is regularly brought Into the Kermanshah bazaar for sale, but from exactly where has so far been kept a secret. Lead and silver are both to be found In quantities that would pay for the working. In considering the mineral wealth of the country, copper undoubtedly takes the most Important place. Persia Is full of copper, but so far has not attracted foreign capital, because of the Import and export difficulties that have had to be contended with in the past. In spite of tbese many drawbacks, at least one mine Is being worked locally. A little to the north of Isfahan, In the Nantaz mountains, Is a large seam of copper. To mine such a rich deposit would assuredly pay. The Kerman district abounds in copper, and in the judgment of a mining engineer who has visited the neighborhood any operations seriously undertaken would easily repay the necessary capital tovested. Coal and Transport. SBould financiers be ready to emhark on such a venture as the exploitation of Persian mines, the questlotV of both coal and transport would have to be seriously considered. Fortunately coal does exist In many parts of the country and is at present being worked in at least two local itiey. The district of Kumisheh Is especially rich In this mineral, and quite recently it has been discovered In the Curdlsh mountains bordering on the Bagdsd- Hamadon road. The difficulty of transport Is rap- Idly being overcome. Already there •re varioua schemes In hand for the construction of railways; In fact, quite a good start has been made. The recent operations In both the north and the south of Persia have shown the roads to be quite suitable for heavy motor traffic, consequently the Importation of heavy machinery ought not to prove a very serious obstacle. In normal times the Persian laborer is paid from 12 to 16 cents (United States) a day. A slight advance la pay would Insure the necessary labor, especially If It should prove perma nent It Is not difficult to prophesy that before many years have passed Persia will prove to be one of the mining countriea of the world. New Rules Washington.--New express packing roles, similar to those required for freight movement oh the railroads, will go into effect on December 10, and express shippers are requested to prepare themselves for the new standards. The new packing requirements, which were recently approved by the United States railroad administration, were formulated to provide additional safeguards for merchandise sent by express. Heretofore shippers hsve been using all sorts of containers for express packages, but the new rules are expected to make the regulations uniform and thus provide business concerns with an even more reliable and speedy service. Preparations are being made at local offices of the American Railway Express company, which Is the agent of the government In handling the express business of the entire country, to put the new rules Into effect on December 10, and to require a strict adherence to them thereafter. The express officials expect that In this way shippers will be Induced to pay greater attention to their packing methods and to turn their business over to the carrier substantially packed and clearly marked, so that, with reasonable care on the part of expressmen, all traffic can be handled rapidly and with fewer chances of loss or damage in transit. The rules, recently promulgated, will not permit the use of paper wrapping for packages over 25 pounds, nor ordinary paper boxes, wrapped or unwrapped, when the weight of the pack' age Is over that limit. For shipments over 25 pounds, wooden containers, or containers of fiberboard, pulpboard corrugated strawboard material are required. The cartons must be made of materials of specified "test strengths,' similar to those required for the freight service, and the containers must bear the stamp of the manufacturers certifying that the material used Is of strength required for the weight of the shipment carried ta It, as called for In the rulea.

United States Marshals Hunt Wilds ef Wayne County, W. Va^ for Q l a n t • t i l l * ' Huntington, W. Va. QuuAtj and state prohibition officers and United States marshals are searching the wilds of Wayne county, where a gigantic copper still Is again in operation, after being burled for half a century. Fifty years ago a "mountain dew" was manufactured in this section which was superior to legalized brands. "Wash Farleyts Best" was a famous brand of wfilsky in this section. Making whisky was then a legal and much appreciated occupation. The authorities usually ran a small still In addition to arresting a few murderers aad thieves. It was no disgrace then to ran a copper can and coll. The ability to turn out good whisky was an accomplishment, and many a farmer would employ a hired man If he knew nothing else about him except that he could make good whisky. It was back in 1859, 1860 and 1861 that "Uncle" John Jones made "100 per cent pure" liquor. He lived on Lick creek, near the Lincoln-Wayne county line, and there turned out whisky as pure as the mountain dew, sweet as honey and with a kick like a cranky flivver. "Uncle" John had a reputation for "souring" his mash just right, distilling just long enough and turning out a "run" of liquor that was much in demand. Then came federal legislation potting a high license on the business of distilling, and "Uncle" John decided to quit. He buried the still after carefully drawing a map showing Its exact location. A few days ago descendants of "Uncle" John found this map under the rafters of a barn. During the last few days,a new and excellent brand of liquor has been ap> peering In these parts. Veterans declared It was like "Uncle" John's. Then the secret leaked out. The old still had been unearthed, and with a little practice the finder was able to distill a brand just # like the famous "Uncle" John brand* It Is known the still is located In the Lick creek region, but the officers have as yet been unable to find It It IS said to be the largest, finest and irtost complete whisky making plant In West Virginia. The whisky is being put out In great quantities through Wayne and Lincoln counties. • Post Card Travels for Yeara.

One method of spreading the disease is by handshaking. It was said. Col. Victor C. Vaughn, in an address, declared the dirtier the atmosphere and the more bacteria one breathed, the more immune he would be to disease. This was proved, he said, by statistics compiled during the war, which showed that the greatest death rate from disease was among men from rural districts.

PUN FOR EARLY PACT VOTE FAILS Senate Leaders, After Wrangle, Give Up Effort to Reach Agreement. HITCHCOCK AND LODGE CLASH Republican trader Objected to the Propoea! That Final Action oil v the Peace Treaty Be Taken This Week. Washington, Jjtov. 5.--Efforts to se-. curb an agreement for early final a cation on the peace treaty failed in the senate. After an hour of wrangling over proposals presented by both sides the leaders gave up the attempt to reach an agreement and the regular order of debate on the labor amendment. to the treaty was resumed. A plan presented by Republican Leader Lodge for a final vote on November 12 was blocked by Democratic Leader Hitchcock, whose counterproposal that final action be taken during the present week was objected to by Mr. Lodge. Senator Hitchcock, In presenting the proposal to the senate, said it seemed the only fair way to reach a final vote, as reservations of varying degrees of qualification would come up when the committee proposals failed to receive a two-thirds ratification vote. The plan offered by Senator Lodge, be said, was not acceptable, as under It, the final vote on ratification woultj be taken on a resolution containing reservations "made up largely by enemies to the treaty, and which enough senators have agreed to so that there Is no material chances of alteration." "We want an opportunity," said Senator Hitchcock, "to vote on a different resolution, which ultimately may command the support of two-thirds of the senate, with a compromise between those who want It ratified without reservations and those who want it ratified with reservations. UI am not sure that ratification will be reached in any form; but if senators desire to decide in a broad, fair way rather than the methods of a political convention, then let us ofTer a resolution without reservations, and if that, too, falls, let others present resolutions of various characters until. perhaps, a compromise is reached." Senator Hitchcock said his proposal would permit the senate to dispose of the treaty by next Saturday or decide to take up other legislation. "We must face the situation," he said, "that unless there is a compromise between those favoring ratification In some form' the treaty cannot be ratified." Senator Lodge said he would not enter "such an elaborate piecemeal scheme," but would Insist upon a definite date for a vote, which would give ample opportunity for any move the minority decided to make. The Republican leader denied a charge by Senator Pittman (Dem.), Nevada, that he was seeking to defeat ratification in a roundabout way. "I have tried," Senator Lodge replied, "to bring about such reservations as would Insure ratification of the treaty. If the committee resolution now Is voted down by those who now profess to be friends of the treaty, then your treaty will be In grave danger." Senate leaders generally desire an adjournment about November 15, to give a two weeks' rest before the December session and also allow travel allowances for the new session. would have to op and walk and the • Would be aH oat.
