Chicago. April s.—o«—Oitago’s
mo«t extraordinary mayoralty c*m-|

ie'pal boundaries aud eoared to tor
ei*n fields—today entered the voting
stage, with 5,00 Q policemen, ’ special
machine gun squads and armed plain
clothes men on guard.
One candidate was Wm. E. Devor,
democrat, who came to Chicago 'from
Massachusetts"4s years ago, and rose
from a tannery worker ti> alderman,
superior court Judge, and finally chief
executive. His plea for re-election
was based entirely on the municipal
record. |
• Another candidate was Wm. Hale
Thompson, another Bay State native, •
once a cowboy, mayor of Chicago
from 1915 to 1923, and titular head
of the republican party, in Chicago.|
His slogan was “Americn first.'\ He
inveighed against the league of na
tions, the draft, the prohibition law, I
and‘told King George to “keep hia
snoot” out of Chicago’s affairs. |
A third candidate conceded only a
f bare chance of winning, was Dr. John j
I Dill Ktobertson, former health com
| mission* under Thompson, who cam-'
K paigned with the Rupport of Fred
p I.undin “the poor Swede,” who served
as Thompson's political godfather un
til their ways came to an abrupt part-i
> ing a few years ago.
The State soldiery was not railed
out, despite the plea of Sheriff Char
les Graydon, that it be kept in rearit

State GeolocM Says Ore That Looks

The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, April 5.—“1 would not
give 15 cenfa for' all the so-ca'.led cop
per) in Jackson county In the vicinity (
J of Sylva and Hillsboro, because there
I is no copper there," said H. J. Bry-
I I son, stntt* geologist, on his return from
a trip in the western part of the it ate.
: Mr. Bryson did not make any addi-
Itionnl • investigations in the vicinity
of-Sylva this time, however, since he
had already made analysis of the ore
there, and failed to find auy copper,
j , “From its appearance, the ore does
look like copper, having a bluish
' tinge to it, but on analysis this proved
to be nothing more than pyrrhotete*.
or prite, an iron sulphate formation,
in which there is no trace of copper,"
Mr. Bryson said. “This ore has been
analyzed by myself, by Dr, J. 1,.
Stocky, former state geologist, and by
J. H. Hell wart*, of. the geology depart
ment at Chapel Hill, and neither they
nor I were able to find any trace of
copper, aud I am of the opinion that '
. it does not exist, at least ,in Jackson
I county.”
I This does not apply, however, to
• Swain county, where good copper ore
has been found, especially at Fontana,
which is now shipping an average of
! three carloads of ore a day to Ten
nessee, where it is being worked at
I Copper Hill.
| But when it comes to iron, it ia a
. different queation, according to Mr.
I Bryson, who says that North Caro
! lina has some of the richest. iron de
posits in the United States, and that
| while many of these are not at pres
ent commercially profitable, that with
in the next teu to twenty years most ,
of these deposits can be worked profit-,

ore —magnetite—are to be found in
Madison, Ashe and Stokes counties,
with the biggest deposit yet found in
Avery county, while it is found ill
smaller deposits in many other coun

jof holes In the vain quest for oil in
the state, that they cou'.d turn out
gold in pnying quantities."
f Tbe best paying vein of gold yet
i found in tbe state is in Yadkin eoim
' ty, according to Mr. Bryson, where
) u vein nine feet thick and several
i hundred. feet long has been located.
[ The vein is mostly quartz, and some
‘ of the assays have indicated as much
as SBOO to the ton in gold.
“It possible to find gold'in the
state, brtt the quest for OH is kope
: less," Mr. Bryson states, adding that
any quest for oil is merest folly.
"The latest rejjort we have is that
j an attempt is to be made to driil for
’ oil near Clintoii iu Sampson county,
where there are absolutely no indies’-1
; lions of oil. Yet it is likely that |
perhaps hundreds of people will sink
their money in a hole there and get
absolutely nothing out of it—not even
water,” said Mr. Bryson.
"We are getting so many requests
j about oil possibilities that it is time
: to te'.l the truth and let the public
1 know that there is positively no oil
- in North Carolina in paying quanti
j ties," Mr. Bryson continued. "From
s our contact with promoters, we are
• convinced that most of them know
that there is no oil. but that they
are deliberately misleading the people,
because it mennx easy money to them
if they can bore a and even not
find any,oil. Hence we have decided
to tell the facts, and at least let the
plungers plunge with their eyes open.”
He mentioned the fact that $120,000
was silent at Havelock iu boring for
oil that was never found, and that oil
"booms" were started at Greensboro.
High Point, Wilmington, Greenville,

A force of fire fighters which reach
ed as many as 150 men under the
personal supervision of County Fire
Warden -Hugh Ixjftin combatted the
flames for two days until they were
brought under control, but their efforts
were unavailing at times against the
high winds sweeping through the thick
undergrowth in checking the spreading
flames.
In reaching the residence belonging
to a family named Heath", the Haines
jumped fire lines, streams, aud the
highway. Thick clouds of smoke cov
ered the highway across which the
flames jumped, and interfered with the
vision of motorists. The wind which
swept the fire before it also covered
a considerable area of that section
of the state, having been reported
as uprooting trees and causing con
siderable damage, in Edgecombe and
neighboring counties. •
The area cohered (by the fire lies
near Trenton on both sides of the
highway between that place and New

Cormick, who with County Warden
Simmons of Craven, made an inspec
tion yesterday, reported that the fire

difficulties on account of the high

good as in any state in the United
States." said Frank D. Grist, Com

over the situation there.
The various employment offices over

“There will be no dearth of work

Grist, "since conditions generally are
good as I have ever seen them; The
demand for labor in the berry and
trucking sections is increasing daily,
■ and there is also a good demand for
i general farm labor. Consequently, the
outlook is good all along the line.”

COPIES OF NEW LAWS
, ABOUT READY FOR PUBLIC
Six Thousand Copies of Laws Enacted
By Legislature WIN Be Distributed.
Tribune Bureau
[ Sir Walter Hotel.
, Raleigh, April 5. —Six thousand
• t copies of the Public I-aw* of 1927,
now almost printed, are expected to be
bound and ready for distribution by
not later than Apirl 20. it was an
, nounced today b.v Frank I>. Grist,
Commissioner of I-a hor and Printing,
It is also expected that the Public-
Local and Private Laws of 1027, being
published in another volume, will be
ready by not later ban May 1, also the
bound copies of the Senate and House
Journal.
As far as is known, this is the
quickest printing job ever turned out
for the state, according to Mr. Grist.
In 1025, the Public I.a ws were not I
printed and distributed Hntil Septem
ber. six months after the general as
sembly had adjourned, and the state
printing contract does not call for the
delivery of any of the volumes until
00 days after the adjournment of the
legislature. Yet this year the Public
Laws will be distributed within 50 to
60 days after the adjournment of the
geueral assembly.
The speed with which these three
volumes are being printed—the Public
Laws, the Pirblic-Iyocal and Private
laws, and the Senate and House
Journnls—has been .made itossible only
as the result of the excellent coopera
tion of the Secretary of State’s office
aqd tip l printers, with the department
of printing, according to Mr. Grist,
who declared that this cooperation has
been excellent in every detail.

FRENCH FAIL TO
ACCEPT THE OVERTURE
Second Invitation of Coolidge Reject
ed; Say Program Conflicts With
League Plans.
Paris, April 4.—The French gov
ernment today declined the American
invitation to be represented “in some
fashion" at the three power confer
ence for the reduction of naval arm
aments which is to nfeet at Geneva
With the United fates, Great Britain
and Japan participating.
President Coolidge's second disarm
ament overture was turned down for
the same reason given for rejecting
the first one—the fact that France
already is engaged in armament lim
itation discussions under the auspices
of the league of nations.
It a is stated that from France's
viewpoint, limitation of naval arma
ments cannot be considered apart from
land and aerial fighting force.
A memorandum containing The*
French refusal has been turned over
to the United States embassy by the
French foreign office. It asserts that
France cannot weaken the authority
of the league, which al|-ead.v has takeu
up the problem of general disarma
ment, nor can France compromise the
principle of equality of all nations,
large or small.
