President W. Bruce MacKelyie and
u. c. Jacking, consulting engineer in
their report, say
Tonnage mlled for the second
quarter is slightly less than IT,, for
the first quarter, due In part To the
number of local and general holidays
occurring during the quarter, which
necessitated complete suspension Of
operations for several days.
THE grade of ore as TO both zine
and silver was somewhat lower than
for the previous quarter being largely
due, as before. TO the considerable
quantities Of ore being produced from
the old and heretofore partially ahan-
doned upper workings The mill re-
covcries for the second quarter are
less by 20 per cent than for previous
quarter. The grade OF concentrates,
however was about tj per cent
higher than for the previous quarter
and. because OF the rapidly increasing
value Of concentrates with increase Of
grade, this factor considerably more
than offset the decrease in recovery

MILITARYISM OF PRUSSlANS SCORED
 BY ENGLISH CHIEF

London, Sept. 5.-In a letter which was read at a meeting of his con- stituents in Berwick last night. Sir Ed ward Grey. minister of foreign affairs, made the following report on the war situations
 'eWhen our sincere and strenuous eff forts to prevent a. European war failed we would gladly have stood aside had it been possible. We were bound to make the observance of Belgian neu- trality one of the conditions of our own neutrality. The German govern ment asked us to waive that condition and condone the violation of a solemn treaty. There could be but one hon orable answer to such a request. Had we sat still and ignored Belgium's ap- peal we should indeed have been de- tested by our friends and despised dby our enemies.
 4sTyn program of the war has reveal ed what a. teEFfble, immoral thing Ger man militaryisnn Is. It is against Ger man nnilitary5sm that we must fight. The whole of western Europe would fall under 1t if Germany should be successful in this war.
 'sBut if. as result of the war, the independence and integrity of the smaller European states can be secur- the menace of German nilitaryism and the German people itself freed from that nnilitarytsn- it is not the Ger man people but Prussian nilitaryisms which has driven Germany and Eu- rope into war>rif that militaryism can be overcome, then indeed there will be a brighter, freer day for Europe which will compensate us for the aw- ful sacrifices which war entails.''
