RUSSIAN FLAG WAS
ONCE WAVING OVER
PART OF CALIFORNIA
—
SAX FRAN’CLSCO, Feb. 2 —The!
Russian flag floated over a part ofj
California for thirty years, from
1812 to 184 2, at Fort Ross, Sonomaj
County, where the Greek chapel and
blockhouse today mark the remnants
f the Russian occupation.
The Russians came to California'
for colonization in 1812, after Count.;
Xikoiai Petrovich Kezanof, Grand!
Chamberlain, visited the state in!
1805 as imperial inspector for the
Czar. Dczanof immediately began'
preparing -plans for the annexation
)f California to Russia.
The Grand Chamberlain had nn-!
i mi ted money at his command and
t is stated that Ills death saved,
'alifornia from being wrested from
1pain by the powerful Russian gov
ernment.
After Rezanof’s death, Alexander
Rnranof, head of the Ruswian-Am
erican Company, made an effort to1
carry out the Grand Chamberlain's'
scheme of colonization. He sent outj
several exploring parties to pick a|
Bite for the Russian settlment. Fort j
ROes was selected and history states j
that this site was purchased by the!
Dursians for “three blankets, threej
pairs of breeehes, two axes, three
hoes and some colored beads.”
The Russians established a station
on the Farralone Islands where seals!
were killc 1, the meat dried and sent
for food to Fort Ross and ether Rus
i..n settlements along the north.
In 1817 tho Russians made a
claim to California, asserting this
territory did not rightfully belong
io any Eurouean country. However,
in 142 they withdrew from Fort
Roes, and kept Alaska as their sole
possession on the Pacific. Russia
held Alaska until 1807 when tho
I lilted States bought it for $7,
200,4)00.

TRANSMISSION UNDERGROUND BY
RADIO MAY SOON HELP MINERS;
EXPERIMENTS ARE BEING MADE
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2 I’enoira-j
lion of tho earth’s surface by radio,
waves is the object of a series of i
ex pertinents being carried on by tit !
Pittsburgh station of the United
States Bureau of Mines, in an ef-i
fort to perfect Its life saving system.
Tito idea back of the project is I
! development of a radiophonfe that,
will allow rescuers ti comraunicat ■ [
with entombed miners when all oth |
ir means of communieatiion have
I ttren cut off by explosion or other!
accident. Information from the in
| terior of a stricken mine would be
if the utmost service in guiding the
rescuers and enabling them to over
come the engineering problems pre
sented. and many requests have been
roccilved by the bureau to devise
means to utilize wireless methods far
that purpose.
Preliminary Experiments
The preliminary experiments were
carried out by C. M. Bouton of the
Pittsburgh station, in conjunction
with €. A. Bod lie, E. C. Douglas
and F. D. Fessler, of the Westing
iiouse Electric & Manufacturing Coni
j cany, at the bureau's experimental
mine in Brueeton, Pa.
They found that signals from
KDKA, a broadcasting station 18
r.iles from tile mine, were recorded
; by a receiver located inside the min
ind that 'it was possible to send
and rceoive message) underground
'hrough the strata. About 50 feet]
from tho receiving station in the!
mine was a six-inch bore hole from]
tho surface, lined with Iron pipe and
containing electric light wires which I
•'Xterlfwl throughout the mine. The]
presence of those wires, the report j
•>f tho engineers said, evidently as-j
slated greatly in the reception, for
when the receiving set was carried

from tho wires the signals were!
