VALDEZ. Juno 10. — A ruble mes
sage received this morning by John
Higgs front T. .1. Devlnney, now at
Seattle. states that tltc Three-In-(%e
property has been suce.essflly fir.-,
I auced, and that he will return toi
j Valdez In a few days with the non
to continue the work on the property.
The message asks Mr. Biggs to *;•
that the men employed before Mr.
Devlnney left for the states be con-1
tinned at work.
The Three in I'm- Is one of the 1110?:,
promt mg of the mining cluiras on the
; bay. 1 ’at siderable
Jon the property and a vein of high
■grade gold quartz lias been develops l!
; J to the extent that a mill will be In I
stalled as soon as it can bo purchase 1
and put on the ground. Mr. Devlnney |
j has been in charge of the work
throughout, and before leaving for the
states expressed the opinion that this
j property would be one of the largest
: producers ever opened here. The vein
is a true fissure, exposed on the sur •
face for a considerable distance, and
carries good milling values through I
out. with payshoots of bonanza ore
which brings the average run of the
ore to a high figure., It is expected
that the mine will be placed on a pro-.
] ducing basis within a few weeks.

to Hie accoinpnnimcnt of an occasional |
! cannon shot and the intermittent1
| glare of Austrian rockets. It rained, j
| and the solemn faced soldiers who
stood with bowed heads before the im
provised altar were drenched. The
green and gold robe of the prelate j
contrasted strangely with the dun of
the uniforms, and the black and white!
gowns of a half a dozen Sisters of i
Mercy who stood huddled in the door !
way of an adjacent cottage.
Around the pope’s neck was sus
pended a crucifix upon a ribbon of the |
Order of St. George, awarded for ser J
vice on the battlefield. Now and
then the chanted words of the service
were partially drowned by the splash
ing and groaning of guns and ammu
nition carts lumbering past through
the heavy mud; but even the team
sters seemed Impressed by the solem
nity of the hour and urged on their
struggling beasts in subdued tones.
Six rough soldiers composed the choir
which assisted in the service, their
voices blending with the rising and
falling tones of the pope.
All evening long Austrian rockets
in greater numbers than usual pierced
the blackness. Out in trenches each
little group of soldiers was having its
own little celebration of this greatest
of all Russian holidays. The lights
from their candles apparently hau
aroused the suspicions of the enemy,
whose trenches as far as the eye could
reach, were at this hour aglare at in
tervals under their calcium bombs.
Finally under his dripping tent the
pope turned to his rain soaked troop
ers, elevated the crucifix and shouted:
"Christ has risen.” Murmurs of re
sponse ran along the line and was
echoed by the white faced 3isters, ”lle
has indeed risen.”

GREEK urns
ATHKNS, Greece, May 30. — (Cor
respondence of the Associated Press. I
It tin; been one of the revealing cir
cumstances of the political situation
in Greece since the formation of the
SkouloudiR ministry that the censor
ship of press cablegrams to other
countries lias been not only rigid, but
double and sometimes triple. There
lias 1 < .-n no censorship at all of the
Greek newspapers.
To ,lousy a id mutual distrust
among members of the cabinet Ih lit
tributt d the manifold censorship of
cablegrams. Four former premiers
sit tn the present ministry, held to
geth. r solely by their common hatred
of Venizelos anil their desire to keep
him out of office.
Premier Skouloudis, as minister for
foreign affairs, exercises the osten
sible censorship. Telegrams are
brought or sent to the ministry and
submitted to n young diplomatist, for
merly Greek charge d'affaires in Mon
tenegro, who either passes them, or
himself in turn submits them to the
premier. The latter process is a long
one, as Mr. Skouloudis is in no hurry,
and often the sender of a message
must wait two or three hours to learn
whether his message may be sent,
lie generally must wait in person, as
the minister frequently requires the
alteration of a word or two. If the
sender of the message is not present
to accept the alteration, the message
is killed as a whole.
But though bearing the premier's
red p'-neilled authorization, the ntes
ige i hv no means sure to go. For
mer Pri :nlor and present Minister of
Con munientions ilhailys also has a
say about it. He does not always
t.grea v th bis colleagues, and if he
does not the signature of the regular
censor becomes meaningless. No one
sees .Vr. Phally’s censor. The mes
sages are sent to him, he works his
will with them, and they are re
turned. There is no appeal and no
possibility of explanation or alterna
tive.
But former Premier Demetrlos C.ou
naris has no great faith in the judg
ment of either of his colleagues. He
is minister of the interior, and as such
is head of all the police and of the
secret police in particular, and any
messages reflecting on him fail to ar
rive at their destination. And requests
for investigation prove fruitless waste
af effort.
In the matter of royal messages, in
terviews with his niajesty, the king
af the Hellens, or dispatches in which
the opinions of Constantine I are
cited or referred to. there is still an
ather censorship — that of Count
Mercati, grand master of ceremonies
af the court of Greece. Telegrams of
this nature are referred to the king
himself, and on his approval of them
Count Mercati initials each page and
writes a note at the bottom directing
I the tel* . aph authorities to pass the
: message — "by order of the king."
But the messages do not pasH a hit
! more for having received thlB sanc
tion of the palace. Minister of Com
1 inunlcatlon Khallys Inspects them
whether or not they have the king's
approval. Recently a very Important
| paragraph in an interview given by
j King Constantine to the correspondent
I of the Associated Cress was "lost” in
jthis way. When the matter was
brought to the attention of the sover
eign he concluded that Minister Khal
l\s was probably nulte wise in dc
lifting the paragraph In question, and
'the discussion ended.
* The correspondent of the Berliner
Tageblatt a short time ago created n
! sensation by avoiding all censorship
j of an interview which lie had had with
i King Constantine. Although the mon
larch had made it a condition of his
i receiving the C.erman journalist that
i there lie no interview, the Berlin cor
1 respondent was altogether too de
I lighted with what he heard on the oc
casion of his first meeting with the
Greek sovereign to resist the temp
tation. But he was too wily to try
to send his message out by telegraph
nd risk its mutilation at the hands
| of Ministers Sqouloudis, lihallys and
Gounaris, ho he sent it out by post,
| inder cover of the German legation
j pouch, end when It wus (In illy pub
lished there was consternation in
Greece. Since that Incident Constan
tine of Greece has steadfastly refused
to he directly quoted by anyone tor
publication, and has received only one
! Journalist, a man in w hom he hs» the
greatest confidence.
