LIEUTENANT FLIPPER ENGAGED IN MINING (Continued From First Page) -j no contingency under which I would fight the United States. I am loyal through and through, because no man born in the United States who knows Mexico and has an atom of intelli gence, can be otherwise, as between ' the two countries. “I have been in El Paso, Texas, four years, paid to keep in touch with the situation in Mexico, and to study and report on it. I have heard no stories of operations of Colored troopers in Mexico. No Race Men in Mexican Armies. “Prior to the break between Car ranza and Villa, Carranza ordered dis charged from his armies the few for eigners there were in them, and it was done promptly. There was a Negro lieutenant in Huerta’s army at Juarez. He had never been an American soldier, but was a fugitive from justice and is now in the Texas penitentiary. There was a major in Villa’s army, a Colored man who pre viously kept a hotel at Torreon, a very fine man, but he is now at his home in the United States. “In all of Villa’s campaign, after the break with Carranza, there were no foreigners, Negroes or others in either army.” r.mpioyea Dy iiovernineni as .-spciai Agent for Department of Justice. For eleven years Mr. Flipper acted in the capacity of special agent for the Department of Justice to look in to the titles of land to a large num ber of Mexican and Spanish land grants in several of the Southwestern States. His duties were to go to Mexico and examine the records of the grants, examine the grants on the ground and make such surveys as he thought necessary. He was to hunt up witnesses and be the prin cipal witness at the trial of the cases. He had to hunt up and trans late the Mexican and Spanish laws under which the grants had been made, and, in short, prepare the cases for the United States attorney. In the course of this work he collected, translated and arranged and the De partment of Justice published a col lection of these laws on land grants running from the sixteenth century go to the novelty co.

Flipper Officer of the Sierra Mining Company. At the conclusion of this work in 1901, he was employed as local en gineer by the Balvanera Mining Com 1 pany, a West Virginia corporation of New York capitalists, operating in Mexico. This company failed two /ears later and he was left on the ground as keeper of the company's property. In 1905, the property was sold to the Green Gold-Silver Com pany, also a West Virginia corpora tion of New York capitalists, and he vvas retained as a member of the ompany’s staff in the legal depart r.ent. This company also failed and mining properties passed to the Sierra Mining Company in 1906 which company also retained him in its legal department. Has Been Honorably Employed Since Leaving U. S. Army. He is an officer of the company and is representing it in El Paso, I'ex., watching the situation in Mex ico and reporting to the home office at Duluth, Minn., and to the general manager in Pittsburgh, Pa. In March, 1912, the company obey ing the orders of President Taft, brought all of its American employes out of Mexico and placed Mr. Flipper in El Paso, Tex., in the capacity al ready mentioned above. He has been usefully and honorably employed since leaving the army and has not had time to meddle in Mex ican politics.
