HUERTA DENIES HE HAS
GIVEN ULTIMATUM TO US.

WASHINGTON, Aug. f9.-con-
fIioting unofficial reports from Mex

less excitement Iaat night and this
morning In official circles here.
About noon today, after the wheat
had been we'll separated from the

In the southern republic az II re-
lates to the United States, has
changed little In the last 4s hours.
The first dlsquieting report, which
was credited Mt Washington. al.
though coming from unofficial
sources. was that Acting Ambassa-
dor Nelson O'Shaughnessy had re.
ceived his passports, and been or.
dered TO leave Mexico.

had received Mexico's foreign min.
ister's reputation OF the entire
story.
Another unofficial message. also
credited. was to the effect that
President Huerta's reply to John
Lind had contained. as the first os-
sential of negotiations. demand
for recognition Of the Huerta admin.
istration by the United States.
The only authentic Information
seems TO be that Lind has reported
his reception by Mexican officials
to be cordial. and that the admins.

NGVada'S Lead Production

Nevada produced nearly six times as
much lead in 1919 as in 1911. SURPRISING
any production in the last ten years
The increase is due principally to ad j.
justments of litigation and to the COM
pletion OF the railroad spurs to Bullion.
Vile and at Phoebe, Lincoln County, in
1912. Regular shipments of lead ore
were made through the latter half of
the year. Clark County also had a
large lead output. The Yellow Pine
mill operated the entire year producing
lead as well as zinc concentrates. The
zinc production of the State was be-
tween three and four times as large a.
in the preceding year. The Yellow Pine
Iine was the largest prod shippinR q
more than 1000 tons of concentrates a
month The Potosi mine also had a
large output.
