Il has about 3,4O0 acres of mineral
land and has only begun to touch the
best ores. The smelter is q miles
from the Santa Fe railway and 1S
miles from Stanley aud the New Mex

chiefly which also carries quite a lot
of silver and gold. In 1901 it ran to
the ton S4.25 copper, ounces silver
and about $1.50 gold. 1t is running
higher now. The new smelter will

GERMAN DEPRECATE
WAR Alarms

Berlin, July 24.-Such progress has
been made with the Strengthening
of the German Navy, voted almost
unanimously during this years ses-
sion of the Reichstag, that it is now
officially announced that the new
third squadron of eight battleships
will be commissioned by the autumn
o. 1914, far earlier than had been
thought possible. This will bring
the active battle fleet up to 25 battle
ships in full commission.
Crews for the four battleships of the
squadron which, according to the law,
are to be kept in full readiness for
sea at all times, will not be available
probably for two or three years after
the ships are commissioned and so it
is pointed out here that the alamrists
in the British press and parliament
are premature in assuming the pres
ence at sea of twenty-nine full manned
German battleships in the autumn of
1913.
The extra expenditure by the army
and navy boards are contemplated
cheerfully by the Germans, who find
much more to worry them in the in
creased cost of living.
FRANCE FEELS DEPRESSED.

careful Study of the recent speech by
Winston Spencer Churchill in the
house of commons.
The continuation Of rivalry between
those two countries causes a note of
regret here; but there is an inc,ina-
ton to believe that it must go on
and that France should learn lesson
from England's procedure and herself
increase her navy.
