Wilson expressed himself as satisfied
with the good faith of the Japanese
in their efforts to restore to China
the German stronghold of Kiaochou
and to preserve the integrity of China.
Further than this he would not go,
declaring it to be one Of the duties
of neutrality to express no opinion
regarding the Japanese ultimatum.
A lengthy cable report was receiv-
ed by Secretary Bryan from Ambas-
sador. Guthrie at Toxic regarding the
Japanese ultimatum. The state de-
partment refused to make any part of
it public, but it was learned that
Guthrie assured this government of
Japan's intention merely to maintain
the integrity of China and peace in
the Orient.
. Secretary Bryan sent message to
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin advising
him Of the report received from Am
bassador Guthrie. I'm this way the
German foreign Office will receive d.
rect advices Of Japan's position from
Gerard, If the German ambassador at
Toxic Il unable to communicate with
Berlin because of interrupted cables.

 This seasons producing creeks are summarized as follows:
 McGee creek gave 90 per cent more gold during 1914 thain in 1913 and more than twice as much as in 1912.
 Ruby. creek gave nearly 30 per cent more gold than in 1913. and over three times as much as in 1912
 Wright creek gave nearly three times as much last year or the year before.
 Otter creek gave nearly 70 per cent more than last year. and nearly twice as much as in 1912.
 Boulder creek gave four times as| much as last year.
 Pine and Spruce creeks were not SO productive this year as last as a great many of the miners from these creeks are now on the 0Donnell river where. although comparatively little work has been done, the outlook isI very encouraging. The 0'Donnel plac- CTS Ltd, spent most of the summer installing an hydraulic elevator plant and did not commence operating until late in the season, but they are ready to start early next year The work done on O'Donnel so far is nearly pre- limlDary only, and. everyone expects good results in 1915.

Repeatedly, 1t says, they have been subjected to tricks on the part of the Germans
 "The Germans hrc full of re- sources, says the account, "and 1t is one of their fayorite plans to lure the
