MEDIATION FAILS

Lima. Peru, June lit was ru-
mored today that the attempted medi-
alton between Peru and Ecuador had
failed owing TO the conditions imposed
by Ecuador as a basis for the peace
negotiations.
Both countries began. several days
ago, the withdrawal from the frontiers
Of the troops which had been massed
when the outbreak of hostlities was
believed to be imminent. The with
drawal was In accordance with the in
sistenCe Of the mcdiating powers when
the United states, Brazil and Argcn-
tine undertook TO act Jointly IN arbi-
trating the boundary dispute between
the two republics. which II seemed
obvious could he othorwive settled on
~ by war
Nevertheless. vague reports that Ec-
uudor had qualified its consent to mo
diatiou have been circulated here until
now they appear To be gaining cred
ence.

makes the price OF the stock approxim-
ately 81 cents. This property has paid
something over 100000 since IL started
to ship ore a year ago. yet this prop
