MUST NOW STOP BUYING GOLD
Government Assay offices Get Warn
lng-No Appropriation.

lng-No Appropriation.
Butte, Mont.-The director of the
mint has issued orders to the United
States assay office at Helena directing
that office to discontinue the purchase
of gold as result of congress failing
to provide an appropriation for the
movement of bullion.
The office will receive shipments
from mining men as heretofore, if they
care to send them, but they will be
held at the assay office.
Subtreasuries at San Francisco and
New York also are similarly affected.
They will not be able to move bullion,
and unless some way is found to re-
move the situation, say federal Off.
Gals, eventually there will be a big
money shortage.
The order affects directly small oper
ators in Montana, Utah and Idaho. who
heretofore have received top prices fol
their metal, but who now, if they want
ready money, will be forced to dispose
of their gold elsewhere.
The Seattle assay office, in common
with other assay offices in western
and northwestern states has ceased
temporarily to receive gold.

PANAMA CANAL MEANS MUCH
Greatest Construction of Modern
Times-Brines Seattle $4,000 Miles
Closer to New York.

Closer to New York.
The observance October tenth of
the blowing of the great dixie at the
Pacific entrance of the Panama canal
carries with it significance that it
is difficult to fully grasp. That it in
sures the completion of the greatest
construction project of modern times
nearly a year before the date set for
the finishing of the work, eliminating
an enterprise that represents an ex-
penditure of 75,O0O,OOO, including
$40,0O0,00O paid to the French Canal
Co., and $1O,0O0,000 to the republic of
Panama, with over $2O,000,000 expend-
ed for sanitation, without hitch or
serious disturbance, following the long
years of unsuccessful work and loss
of life connected with the French pro-
ject, is of itself of no mean import
ance, but what it means to the world s
commerce, and particularly to the
maritime development of the Pacific
coast is of far greater consequence.
The new highway which shortens
the sailing distance between Puget
Sound and New York from 1890
miles to 5,972 miles, and the distance
by water between Puget Sound and
Liverpool from 14,315 miles to $3.50
miles is an element of importance,
and must result in many readjust.
ments, as well as an evolutionary in
huence in shipping activities, and q
powerful stimulant to manufacturing
operations. In merchandising, 1t will
doubtless prove a factor of equal con
sequence with the tariff, in fixing the
prices Of commodities of bulky char
acter, which are either imported OF
shipped from the Atlantic seaboard by
rail at the present time. Just whai
the extent of these readjustments will
be cannot as yet be foretold, but they
are a matter of speculation among
dealers, and constitute an elemen
which tends to conservatism in buy
ing in some directions. This is par
ticularly true in iron and steel prod
ucts, of which there are at presen
considerable importations from Eu
rope. With the removal of duties ant
with the cutting of the freight rat
and time consumed in deliveries, 1t i
probable that there will not only b.
heavier purchases from abroad, Blu
that the price-making factor will be o
considerable moment. The condition
/ apply, with lesser Importance to othe
commodities and actual developments
, which will become effective within
} few months, are awaited with interes
by jobbers and retailers.

From Hampton Roads to San

Observation-Disclosures in Hampton
roads early in 1915 will be the greatest
international fleet ever gathered in
American waters, assembled in an
swer to the invitation of the United
States government to celebrate the
completion of the Panama canal by
making voyage to the Pacific
through the new waterway. Some of
the nations with great navies may be
represented by squadrons of four or
more warships; others by only one or
two, and some of the countries, practi-
cally without navies including vessels
of the first class, will be represented
only in the personnel of their legations
and commissions to the Panama-Paci-
fic exposition.
President Will Review.
The president will go to Hampton
roads to review the assembled vessels
as they start on their voyage to San
francisco.
The international fleet probably will
be under command of an American, in
all likelihood Vice Admiral Cameron
MGR. Inslow, for it is expected that
congress, which authorized the assem-
bly,, will make provision for this new
commander outranked by some foreign
naval officer.
The ceremonies at Hampton roads
and the time required for a visit tC
Washington by the foreign visitors will
consume about a week or ten days anC
then, headed by the American fleet
probably with the overwhelmingly

breaking by twelve hours the
record of the submarine Octopus
which remained submerged "A

our gasoline engines keeps our
air so pure that We could stay
down a week if We desired. Our
submarine will break all records
for speed and manouvering be-
cause our propellers are at the

boat. The crew of men have
quarters in the engineroom and
there is not trace of gasoline
