.4NGLO-RUSSIAN TERMS
Balkan Questions for Pozcers
DarddneLIes Omitted.

London, Oct 15-According to what appar-
emily is an inspired statement with regard to
Russia's position. which appears in THE
Times" this morning, a practical agreement has
been reached by NJ. Iswolsky and Sir Edward
Grey under which the conference of the powers
will discuss the question Of compensation TO
Turkey, Servia and Montenegro but the Dar-
danelles question will be left for separate nego-
tiations later between Russia and Turkey
Russia agrees with the Western powers that
the compensation given TO servia and Monte
negro should not be at Turkeys expense, and
holds that it is Europe's interest to facilitate
in every possible way Turkeys heavy task in
completing the constitutional reforms.
According to the statement Russia desires
revision of the agreements concerning the Oar
danelles, but does not wish TO make the revi-
sion part of the conference programme or to
force it upon Turkey.
on the contrary. Russia agrees that a revision
is possible only with the consent and good will
Of the Turkish government and a result of
future negotiations which. 1t is hoped, the
British government will facilitate, and that an
arrangement can pe 1edCQeQ WIN the nelp OF
all the interested parties, which would give
Russia all she requires without menacing the
interests of other powers. In addition, by
moving long standing Russian grievance. 1t
would contribute TO the consolidation of the
Anglo Russian understanding and the estab-
Iishment of real friendship between Russia and
Turkey.
M Iswolsky's departure" says the state
ment in The Times" was delayed in order
10 complete the details of the agreement and
when he returns to St Petersburg he will make
clear not only that he had not consented to the
annexation Of Bosnia and Herzegovina but
that he expressly warned Baron Won Aehren-
thai that the position of these two provinces
was a European question which could not be
settled by Austria and Turkey

Che excitement throughout the country over anarchist outrages and reported plots has been reflected here during the week in lively discussion of various immigration problems since most anarchists of the bomb-throwing kind are of foreign birth. The Nation- al Liberal Immigration League took up the subject of it's meeting in New York advocated the deportation of aliens who commit crimes whether they have been in this country less than three years. as the law now reads. or longer. The league is also in favor of govern- ment aid for the distribution of lab- orers. both native or foreign born, from the cOngested districts of the big cities to regions where labor is more in de- mand. Another proposal advanced was to extend the probationary period before admitting the foreign born to from five to ten years and for making them better Americans by fostering a spirit of patriotism among them.

The financial statement of the treasurer was approved by a unan- imous vote. on motion of F. J. Elliott seconded by Charles T. Martin
 When the question of dissolving the company came up, Attorney Elliott. who was chairman of the local stock holders organization. asked whether or not the directors would consider resuming operations. providing the claim owners granted the extension desired several months ago. but Presi- dent Peterman stated that he had no authorization to this effect. all of the shareholders whom he represented wanting the dissolution of the corpo- ration. He said that the company would have gone ahead had the eXten- sions been granted last December. but he thought it was too late now Per sonally. he said, he would be willing to put all of the money which he had coming from the company into the mine if the local stockholders wished to take t up.

Arizona Mines

It is so seldom that any mining or milling enterprise equals expectations in full accordance with plans that in these days the reading world has grown accustomed to discounting about everything it sees in print in re- spect of the mining industry. Were this not so. the promoter would not be permitted to paint his picture with such glowing colors lest il would real ly be criminal deception. Though 1t is still sufficiently deceiving. if half the promoter says is realized. the reader or investor Is free to credit him in ful! for being honest.
 But now and then conservative statements are made even about min- ing matters. and these promises are fulfilled. A case in point is that of the Southern Arizona Smelling com pany's plant at Sasco. where a S5O-ton shelter was built and placed in com mission not long ago. Here comes testimony that instead of $50 tons. the plant is working about 400 tons of ore owing to its qualities for easy reduc- tion. The testimony comes from the Tucson Citizen, as follows:
 The Sasco shelter at the present time is handling 400 tons of ore per day and preparations are already un- der way for putting in another jacket which will about double the capacity of the plant"
 This was the statement made today by Hon. A. :. Donau, who returned last evening from an automobile trip to the town of Sasco. which is located about forty miles from Tucson.
 The town was quite revelation. It has at the present time a pOpula- ton Of about J00. and this promises to increase steadily" continued Mir Do- nau.
 We visited the smelling plant and were agreeably surprised to find that the plant is handling 400 tons or ore daily. They are enabled to do this as the Imperial ores are easily smelted."
 MT Donau added that there is every probability that the Imperial company will take in customs ores as soon as soon as the new jacket for the smelter is installed.
