STOCK ALL WINTER

Inquiryiat the local Offices of the
company brings forth the information
that the mines will stock ore all winter
and THAT development work will be
l.dshed hard
All Of the mines In the Crystal Falls
district have Teen worked TO the maxi
mum Of mining during the past year.
The necessity Of getting ont the ton
mage with comparatively snort crew
has compelled the operators 30 put all
Of the men mining and TO let up ON de-
yelopment work temporarily This
policy finds the mines pretty well
caught up to their development work
and it would be a good thing for the
properties to get rest and let atten-
tion be turned to development work
LOOK FOR SLOW SEASON
Iron men generally look for a Stacker
season next year than the past pwo
have been and this fact is welcomed by
many as it will afford the opportunity
TO develop ahead II the season turns
out TO be a moderate one the outputs
will he lessened from each property
and the men taken of mining to some
extent and put to developing ahead 50
that when the market takes turn
again the mines will be in condition to
put out ore at rapid rate.
BRISTOL SHIPPING YET
The Bristol is yet in the shipping
list and the present intention il 70 hold
her there until the last moment The
Bristol has been hitting up AZ high

SHIPPING SUSPENDED
FROM MANY MINES
oTTEDoUTPUT HAS BEENSEcUR-
ED AND STOCKING BEGINS.
NO.UNSOLD ORE BROUGHT DOWN
Tobin. Crystal Falls and Dunn Remain in
the Shipping LIst-work Commenc-
ed at South Dunn.

The Great Western Fairbanks
Armenia, Kimball and Lamont mines
Of she Corrigan Mckinney company
have suspended shipments for the sea-
son and commenced stocking ore for
next season. The Tobin, Dunn and
Crystal Falls mines remain in the ship
pig list and will probably continue TO
send forward their output until the
very last days of shipping.
This condition began last Saturday
afternoon when message was received
from Cleveland directing the suspen-
sion at the mines mentioned.
The cause for the suspension is that
the amount Of ore sold from these pro-
perties before shipping began has been
secured and that no unsold ore will be
taken away from the mines
IL has been the usage in the past to
pile up lot OF unsold ore on the lower
lake docks but the ore shippers have
changed all Of that and instead Of pill
ing up below they now pil5 at the
mines or suspend mining operations
DID GOOD WORK
When tine sales were made last spring
1t was figured that the mining of the
ore sold would take until Shipping sea
son closed but so exceptionally we'll has
the work been performed at the mines
that all Of the ore has been won a
month before the time allotted
The significance Of this is that the
mines are in the hands of miners who
know what they can do and how 10 do

TWUWARSEXPECTED
PEACE IN CENTRAL AMERICA IS N< ABANDONED.
Washington Is Disappointed That Ef- forts Of the United States And Mexico To Avert Trou-
 bIe Has Failed.

Washington, June 14.-A sanguinary war-perhaps two wars with as many revolutions added for good measure is what the State Department officials now expect in Central America. They are disappointed over the sudden fail. ure of the joint efforts of Mexico ana America to bring about permanent peace between the republics in Gen. tral America.
 Official news of this failure reached the State Department today from Nica- ragua with the explanation of Pres ident Zelaya for his participation III the attack of Acajutla. The important feature of the message was in the way in which Zelaya sought to place upon America and Mexico the responsipiiity for the attack by claiming that It was a necessary step in the execution or the plan for a union of the Central Ameri- can republics.
 As a matter of fact, as one of the officials pointed out, certainly the Un. ted States and probably Mexico would welcome a combination of the little states but 1t has never for an instant been contemplated that such a union should be brought about by force.
 As one of the parties to the treaty of Amalapa now attacks the other, the officials here have decided to refrain from intervention in the present dis turbance.
 A dispatch from Captain Mulligan of the gunboat Yorktown at Acajutla says that everything Is quiet there.

 Chief of Police Walters later talked to Chief of Police Taylor of Montgom- cry by long distance telephone. That officer placed no credence in the story told by the reporter.
