GERMAN TesiS agreement.

The adoption of a new tariff by Ger
many, accompanied by conventions for re-
ciprocal tariff concessions between that
country and most of the ether countries
of continental Europe, led the German gov
eminent to give the notice necessary to
terminate the reciprocal commercial agree
ment with this country proclaimed July 13,
1900. The notice was 60 take effect on the
LIST of March, 1906. Under a special agree
ment made between the two governments
in February, 1906, the German government
postponed the operation of their notice
until the Both of June, 1907. In the mean
time | sent to Berlin a commission COM
posed of competent experts In the opera
ton and administration of the customs
tariff, from the departments of the treas
ury nd commerce and labor. This COM
ll...,slon was engaged for several months In
conference with a similar commission APP
pointed by the German Government, under
instructions, far practicable, to reach
a common understanding as TO all the facts
regarding the tariffs of the United States
and Germany material and relevant to the
trade relations between the two countries.
The commission reported and upon the basis
of the report, further temporary CONNER
cial agreement was entered into by the
two countries. This agreement is TO remain
in force until the 30th of June, 1908, and
until six months after notice by either party

The second international peace conference
was convened at The Hague on the 18th
of June last and remained in session uutil
the 18th of October. For the first time
the representatives of practically all the
civilized countries of the world united In a
temperate and kindly discussion of the
methods by which the causes of war might
be narrowed and its injurious effects re-
duced.
Although the agreements reached in the
conference did not in any direction go to
the length hoped for by the more sanguine,
yet in many directions important steps
were taken, and upon every subject the
program there was such full and consider
ate discussion as to justify the belief that
substantial progress has been made toward
further agreements in the future. The
delegates of the United States worthily
represented the spirit of the American peo-
pie and maintained with fidelity and abil-
ity the policy of our government upon all
the great questions discussed In the con-
ference.

FOUR TAKE EXAMS FOR FOREST
 RANGERS.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Four applicants for the position of forest ranger participated in an ex. animation for that position held in the offices and under the direction of F. w. C. Pooler, forest supervisor of the Prescott forest reserve, here, July 25 and 20. The papers of each applicant were forwarded yesterday to the office of the chief forester in Washington, and it is expected that returns from the same will be received in the next ninety days. Two of the applicants, John C. McNulty and Clark w. Story, Jr., have been employed as forest guards for some time, so that their examinations may be considered as be. ing applications for advancement. The other two applicants, James l.. Seckner and s. V. Priddy, have had no previous experience in the department.
 The profession of expert forester is rapidly assuming high importance in this country and no better opportunity to learn it thoroughly can be found than in the government service. The position of forest ranger offers the ad- ditional advantage that man can earn a living salary while learning the busi. ness.
 The forest rangers are the men who actively patrol the different reserves and protect them from fire and depre- dation. The pay for the beginner is $72O year. Out of this salary he is required to furnish his own horses and feed them. But the policy of the de- partment is to promote the men who show an aptitude for the work, and thus the salary gradually goes up un til the best rangers get as high n' q 400 "a yeer. They live in cabins in the woods, and are allowed to nave their families with them if desired.

IMPORTANT STRIKE ON PROP.
 ERTY OF SPAR COMPANY.
(From Sundays Daily.)

An important strike was made n few days ago in the property of the Spar Mining company, located about three miles southeast of Mayer.
 The ore body was struck in one of the drifts from the 20O.foot level, in the shaft, distance of twenty feet from the station. When first cncount cred, it showed a thickness of only eight inches, but widened out to four feet when the drift was pushed few feet further ahead. The ore is sul phide and of the same general character as that opened in the 100.foot level above, indicating that the orc body is large and continuous. IL carries good values in lead, copper, silver and gold.
 A. Popkess is general manager of the concern. He bonded the ground only few months ago, and out of the proceeds of the ores extracted in its development il two months paid the purchase price.
 It's remarkable development has been the cause of the ro option of work on the properties of The Poca. nontas Copper Queen company, adjoin. ing the Spar group, which have been idle for some years, and in which n very promising ore body was recently opened, areport of which appeared in the columns of the Journal Miner, yes. terday. To its development is also at. tributed the sale of the McDermott group of mines, located in the imme. diate district. to ex.Mayor David s. Rose of Milwaukee.
 The Spar group, consisting of ten claims, is within easy reach of Mayer, over n good wagon road, and the to- pography of the country is such that railroad can be constructed connect. ing the Bradshaw Mountain line with the camp, at n nominal expense. from railroad construction standpoint.
