LESS GOLD is MINED

On the ether hand. Australia showed
a continuance of the decline which
has been persistent since 1903, the
loss in 1911 being about $4,OOO,OOO
The production of North America was
about the same as in 1910.
These three grand geographic divi-
sions produced nearly S400,000,OOO and
the gains and losses in other produ-
cling countries probably about offset
each other. Australasia has fallen
from $S9,21O,1OO in 1903 to s62,O0O.-
900.
Although gold production continues
to increase, the increase was at a
diminishing rate and the director ex-
presses the opinion that there is moth
ing in the present outlook to indicate
a repetition of the phenomenal gains
that were made between 1890 and 1899
and between 1901 and 1908. They were
the result of the discovery OF the eva
hide process and OF the development
of the wonderful Transvaal field. The
only country In the world that is
showing notable gains at this time is
Africa, and the Transvaal field is near
ing its maximum.

TROOPS ARE READY
TO CROSS BORDER
Orders Issued to Prevent
Killing of Americans.
WILL ALSO BE REINF 0RCEDD
Most Vigorous Policy Yet Adopted BY
Government In the Mexican
Trouble-Orders Sent To
All Army Posts.

Washington.-D that no
more American lives shall be sacrificed
as a result of fighting on the Next
can border, the President ordered the
United States troops along the RIO
Grande to be reinforced and gave
warning that firing into American ter
ritory must be stopped, even though
1t be necessary to cross the boundary
line to enforce compliance
The order. the most sweeping that
has gone out from the White House
in the present situation, was issued
after a conference between President
Taft, Secretary of War Stimson and
Acting Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson.
In addition to sending another regi-
ment of infantry and three batteries
of field artillery to the Mexican line
orders were issued to division com
manders throughout the country to
hold their men in readiness to move
at a moments notice.
Army Establishment Prepared.
The acute situation In Mexico has
had the effect of putting the army
establishment in high state of pre-
paredness and mobilization on the Rio
Grande could be effected quickly if
the occasion arose.
The Mexican government, it is I'M
derstood, will be advised of the inten-
ton of the United States to prevent
at all hazards a repetition of the
casualties due to stray bullets coming
across the line which marked the
fighting during the Madero revolution
at several towns along the border.
A neutral zone along the border will
be insisted upon, in which fighting
must cease. This zone the United
States intends to have respected.
The twenty-second Infantry and
Batteries A, B and c of the Third
Field Artillery will make up the re-
Inducements and will be sent to FL
Paso from San Antonio.
Troops Resting On Their Arms.
Troops have been practically rest
ing on their arms for several weeks
past as a result of the serious condi-
ton of affairs below the international
line The Army War College some
time ago completed plans for new
mobilization, and it would be matter
of only few hours to have troops
on a train and ready for another
"maneuver division
Aim To Prevent Intervention.
The present mobilization will not
mean intervention. 1t is rather the
Governments final effort to prevent
Intervention. There can be no inter-
vention except by authority of Con
gress. Mr.. Taft may soon send a
n essage to Congress on the subject.
He is consulting on the situation.
The ADMINISTRATORS policy is
especially shaped to prevent excuse
for any attack on Americans still in
Mexico.

This to Be Diamond Year-The Lady
and the Golden Snake Creates
Sensation in England.

London.-Jewelers are prophesying
that this is to be a diamond year
Last year the pearl was favorite orna-
ment, and it graced tiaras, hung in
ropes on white necks and was twisted
through curls.
Now the diamond has come back
into favor, sometimes with an accom-
paniment of rubies and emeralds,
sometimes alone in its white glory.
Open-work medallions blazing with
diamonds, rings set with single or
double square slab diamonds, crowns,
tiaras and diadems of these gems re-
place the softer pearl ornaments, and
at the first court there is to be such
blaze of diamonds as has not been
seen for some time
One reason for the exit of the pearl
is that with the glittering. sequinned
dresses now worn the diamond is a
more fitting and brilliant jewel.
