Located in constitutionalist terri
tory.
The four lines of railway which
the company operates have the fol-
lowing lengths in kilometers: Asien-
tos Is, Mexican Union 81, Velardena
%, Potos Central Is. OF these the
Velardena alone is situated in the
Villa-Carranza domain.
Judging from the stand taken by
the constitutionalists toward the Uni
ted States, it is doubtful il American
plants situated in territory now held
by them would suffer to any extent
because of hostilities between the
countries.
OF the total surface improvements
of $9,5OO,O0Q at the shelters and APP
proximately $4.0O0,00O at the mines.
$3,500,000 of the former and $780,
600 of the latter represents property
in the constitutionalist territory
Should the plants in federal territory
be attacked, it is doubtful if the
damage to the smelters would exceed
60 per cent of the total, or $4,000, 900
In the case of the mines the damage
to surface improvements would prob
ably not greatly exceed $1,O0O,O00. In
addition to such losses there would
be railway destruction and flooding
of the mines.
1t will be seen from the above that
with the destruction of the plants
in the federal domain, the total loss
would probably be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,600,000, or including the
railway and expense incident to the
flooding of the mines, the total would
probably be brought up to something
over $5.000.000

SUMMER VILLA
OF POPE Plus X
FINALLY OCCUPIED
SISTER OF THE POPE WILL SEEK
HEALTH AT cASTEL-

ROME. May 15.-The elder of the
pope's sisters, who is ailing, is to try
the air of Castelgandolfo, where the
pontiff has summer villa, which he
has never seen.
When Plus X. made this disposi-
ton for his sister he remarked. Il
wish | could come, too" which. how
ever, is not to be taken too literally,
as he has become so fond of the Vat
lean that he probably would not leave
il if he could.
The papal villa at Castelgandolfo
was for years the favorite summer
residence of numerous pontiffs, but
has not been visited by a pope since
1869. when Plus TX. went there.
There is nothing magnificent about
It, with the exception of the view,
but the garden Is beautiful and the
air Is salubrious. The most import
ant room in the house is the bedroom
of Plus TX. which is preserved just
as il was when he was last there.
From the balconies of the villa the
pope's sister VIII iook down on the
beautiful lake of Alhano. perched
above which is the monastery bull

other direction. the cupola OF st. Pc

DIVIDENDS PROVE
MINING PROFITABLE

That mining at present is in the
most profitable stage of its existence
is evidenced by the report made to
Mining and Engineering World by
American mines and works and other
companies which look to mining for
their profits. These reports show
that 1O7 of these companies have
paid dividends so far this year total
ing $41,132,971. To date these com
panies have to their credit dividend
payments aggregating S996,532, 1885,
When ii is considered that this does
not include dividends paid by com
panies operating coal and iron prop
critics, nor of those companies pro
ducing other mineral substances, it
is readily seen that mining is one of
Americas most profitable industries.
In classifying the various reports
il is found that of the 107 companies
mentioned above, "a operate copper
properties. During the four months
of 1914, these companies paid out
dividends amounting TO $17115,S71

TIE TERMS OF AUsTRIA'S ULTIKAlUM

The terms of the Austrian ultimatum which
SerYia refused-the immediate cause of war
are as follows: ..~
Formal assurance from the Servian govern
ment that it condemns the propaganda which
resulted in the assassination Of Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand at SarajevO.
An official apology that Seryian officers took
part in the Vaccinations against the dual mon
archy and Reputation Of their actions.
A promise that Servia will endeavor to sup
press subversive publications and dissolve inn
medately the Pan-Servian Society, "Narodna
Odbraya," and all other similar organizations.
Warming to the Seryian population that anti
Austrian plots will be vigorously punished.
Removal of all Seryian officials guilty of an
anti-Austrian propaganda. ...:. -......
Prompt punishment for those officials who
assisted the Sarajevo assassins across the Dor
der. ..... -....
The specific arrest of Major Tankavitch and
4 Servian state employe named ZiganOyitch,
compromised by the SarajevO inquiry.
Stopping of the Illicit traffic in explosives
across the frontier. #@r r.
Prompt notification to Austria that Servia
has fulfilled all these demands
OF course this ultimatum was not the real
cause of war. There are many causes One of
the most powerful is Russia's intention to gain
territory to the south and port on the Adriatie
or the Mediterranean. Another is the growing
race hatred between Slav and Teuton. Another
is Germany's fast-strengthening grip on much
world commerce, of which other nations are
Jealous But the ultimatum quoted above
serves as well as anything as a reason for put
ting million or two men in the field.

that is but little better.

Already this city Is 10 be saddled

further steep the town deeper in debt
and which will call for higher taxes
In fact, II begins to look that Il
something is not done TO stop this
waste of money the taxes will soon
be so high as to prohibit people from
coming to settle here, and will ever
drive many away that are already

There has been much said about
men taking these positions without

Also, what has been his record and

war and SUGAR

Associated Press dispatches this morning say
that administration leaders are considering the
imposition of war taxes to offset the loss in rev
enue due to the European war and the suspen-
sion Of foreign trade
Will the administration still stand by it's poll
CIV of freetrade in raw sugar and the inevitable
and irreparable damage to the domestic sugar
industry? u.
Will the administration carry into effect the
free-sugar clause in the Wilson Underwood
tariff bill and give up between fifty and sixty
rilliens of Legitimate revenue? III
Will the administration forego sixty mil.
lions from protective tariff on sugar and pre-
fer to put war taxes on tobacco and beer?
That is one phase of the situation. Here is
another:
This European war has in it's few brief days
already shown conclusively that the people of
the United States are dependent upon the do
nestle sugar growers for their supply of sugar.
Raw and refined sugar alike have jumped to
record prices i'm little more than a week All
the hundreds of thousands of tons of foreign
sugar avail the people of the United States moth
ing at this time. America must depend upon her
own supply of cane and beet sugar
IL America must depend upon her own supply,
how incredibly shortsighted it is to remove the
protective tariff wall and allow the domestic in
dNstry to be smashed by the unfair competition
OF cheaplabor sugar from Europe, Java and the
ether foreign countries As asss
In time of peace the domestic industry will
be ruined by this competition. And then, when
war comes to ravage the fields, close down the
factories and hold in their ports the ships of
the European producers, the United States will
have no dOmestic-grown supply to rely upon.
Under those circumstances, sugar would 60 to
such heights as would make the present six-cent
price for raws seem cheap.

ON BOARD THE KRONPRINZElS.
SIN CECILIE, BAR HARBOR, Me
The Kronprizessin Cecilie with 1,454
passengers and cargo 10 $11 800, 900
in gold and silver, sailed out of New
York harbor at 10 o'clock on the morn
ing of July %. Her first port to call
was to be Plymouth and then Cher
bourg and then Bremen.
The war scare was on, and, naturally,
as the majority of her .Tst cabin pas
sengers were German and English,
there was some speculation as to what
would happen toathe shiR should war
be declared while she was on the high
seas. Persons familiar with Spanish
American war precedents recalled that
ships leaving port after that war was
declared, we're in each Instance OF
seizure released by prize courts.
So speculation died down and the
voyage became the usual uneyentful
trip across the Atlaniac. There was a
dance each night; English, French and
1t was on the fourth day, while a
dance was In progress on deck and the
usual assembly was IN the smoking

the Americans held the same opinion
and the protest was dropped. Some
of the passengers. however, did take
the matter up with the captain. tits
answer was that the passengers were

Speculation on Port.
Monday night came and with II
more fog. BY this time the passen-
gers we're specializing as to what port
we were being headed for. The same
question was heing debated on tho
bridge. The wireless was telling inc

along the coast within the i've mile
limit in order to be safe from SELF

This indicated to him that it would
be unwise to attempt 10 make New

for specific information, He had to
make up his mind on such fragments
of information as he could grab from

mind, but then he favored a less

STORY OF TRIP OF GERMANLINER
ASRELATEDBY ONE OF PASSENGERS

The ship was $50 miles out of Ply
mouth when she turned back. The
problem confronting Captain Polack
was to get his load of gold and human
souls back to America without being
oveThauled by an enemy's warship.
He could not afford to send wireless
messages, because he would betray
himself, but he could intercept.
Every message coming cut OF the air
from Sayville admcnished him to be
careful, told him that French and
English vessels we're talking about
that great prize, the Kronprinzessin
Cecile with her gold on board. =.
Friday night he considered himself
reasonably safe. He steered far to the
north out ca the beaten path, but took
no further precautions. y. ~.
Saturday the usual Marconi news
paper was omitted, and at the lunch
table each passenger found printed
notice that the electric lights would
be turned out that night In order to
conceal our identity from passing yes-
sells, and that we must be content with
oil lamps. In the afternoon the four
smokestacks were painted black at
the tops as further measure of con-
cealment. At dinner we found the
windows in the dining saloon heay-
| lily curtained, also in the smoking
room: There were no deck lights.
To make matters worse from the
lstandpo:nt of the passengers, Satur-
| day brought with it a dense fog But
the fog was to the liking of the cap
tain. He sent the ship along at the
best speed she could make through
the thick weather and with the fog
horn silent.
Manv passengers remained on deck
all night and others retired fully cloth
ed. They remembered the Titanic
and they wanted to be prepared for
emergencies
Again Sunday night there was a fog.
The nerves of the passengers were
on edge A delegation assembled the
bridge and asked the captain to please
blow the fog whistle and to carry
the usual side and stay lights demand
ed by the laws of navigation. Other
wise. they declared. the women folk
would not consent to go to their state
rooms. ..

PRESIDENT WILSON'S PusIrGE

As further proof that President Wilson has
no intention of getting the United States en-
broiled with Japan, the following excerpt from
a statement he made on August is of interest
ssThe situation in Europe is perhaps the
grayest in its possibilities that has arisen in
modern times, but it need not affect the United
States. unfavorably in the long run. Not that
the United States has anything to take advan.
tage of, but her own position is sound and she
owes it to mankind to remain in such a condi-
ion, and in such a state of mind that she can
help the rest of the world

tary of the treasury, who is in very close touch
with the financial situation throughout the
country that there is no cause for alarm.

ment of unsoundness, and business men of the
country are cooperating with the government
