Colonial Secretary Churchill In

of Action Planned
AGREEMENT DECLARED VOID
Peace Committee Plans Strike
Provisions of Anglo-Irish
Treaty, He Announces.
(Ilr AiMwIate Prcaal
LONDON, May 31. British
troops will prevent the estab
lishment of a republic in Ire
toj.l if such actionhould become
ji'vessary, Colonial Secretary
Churchill declared in the house
of commons today. "In the
event a republic is set up it is
the intention of the British gov
ernment to hold Dublin as one of;
1lit? preliminary and essential
steps of 'military operation," he
said.
Secretary Churchill asserted in
the house of commons that the
agreement reached between the
lnlit;"al factions in Ireland re
cently, strikes directly at the
previsions of the Anglo-Irish
treaty.
Later on in the debate in which
tlie Lister group assailed the gov
ernment's policy, Churchill J
frankly" admitted that British I
troops are being held in Dub- j
lin as a preliminary step to mili- j
tary operations if these become
necessary. i
The secretary said it must be
admitted that disturbances in Ul
ster for many months had un
doubtedly played a part in mak
ing the position of the provis
ional government in Ireland dif
ficult by an exasperating Catho
lic majority in southern Ireland,
and the increasing number of De
Valera's supporters. "Mr- De
Valera has been fully aware of
this and one of his surest means
of striking against the provis
ional government and treaty has
been the exciting of outrages in
the northern area and so provok
ing counteraction which would
I'tf sure to raise the passions in
the south," said Churchill.

CAMP TAYLOR
Storm Cloud Being Equipped for
Extensive Development by
Wingfield and Others
Camp Taylor is beginning to show
signs of real life, due to the sale f
the, controlling Interest in the Storm
Cloud group of claims to George
Wingfield and J Grant Crumley.
The premises are being fitted up
for an extensive campaign of de
velopment, and within the next few
days everything will be In readiness
for the lowering of the shaft to
good .depth for the proving of tho
persistency of the oreshoots. It is
proposed to equip the premises witli
a heavy head frame and Install ma
chinery at an early date
Interest In the new camp is in
creasing and the prediction Is freely
made that a real 'old fashioned min
ing boom Is In the making. Owners
of property by location have either
started development oe are making
ready to 'do so, and great activity
should manifest itself within a shor:
time. The district is making one of
the most remarkable showings that
has been called to the attention of
the people of southern Nevada in
three years, and the fact that George
Wingfield has become Interested wilt
cause large operations to follow on
& number of properties that are mak
ing splendid surface showings.
A. H. Lowry, manager of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company,
and a representative of Mr. Wing
field, visited the holdings yesterday
In company with Mr. Crumley and
George B. Thatcher, and was well
pleased with the showing that Is
resulting from recent development.
As soon as a permanent camp has
been established a number of men
will be given employment, and the
growth of the new district promises
to be rapid.
