Much Gold Mined In 1918.

Washington. Nov. 2.-The value Of
the output of recoverable gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc from mines in
California in 1913. according to Charles
q. Yale of the United States geological
survey, was $26,S12.4S9. an increase of
$42S,543 over the 1912 production. All
the metals except zinc showed an in
creased yield, although the ore treated
was less in quantity, and there were
fewer mines reporting Il production
than in 1912.
The total recoverable value of gold
from California in 1913 was $2O,4OG,-
95S. Of which the deep mines produced
$3.50, 7S1, or oG.7 per cent. The total
increase in the gold production was
SG93.4SO. of which 5000 iG was in the
yield from deep mines. The gold pro-
duction was larger than in any other

Comforts For Indian Warriors.

London, Nov. 1.-The Indian cOn-
tingent which Lord Kitchener called
to take part in the campaign on the
continent has special needs. and the
ambulance department of the order of

by the secretary Of state for India to
organize a supply Of comforts and
stores for them while they are at the
front.
Transferred suddenly to a climate to

a territory whose population is not
acquainted with their habits, they
naturally will be at some personal dis

which is being done by st. Johns am

Courtinq South America,

Washington, Nov. 81 Postmaster
General Burleson announced that he
had under consideration Il plan max
ing the two cent rate for letter post
age effective throughout the western
hemisphere. In an official statement
it was said:
"A sacrifice Of revenue would be in
vOlvcd. but strong arguments are adj
vanced in behalf of the proposal. The
change, it is contended, will go far to-
ward permanently building up direct
and frequent mail exchanges between
all the countries of North and South
America. The two cent rate now OBJ
tains between the United States and
Great Britain, Mexico, Cuba, Canada
and with Germany upon letters routed
direct between German and United
States ports.
"In several of the larger South
American ports Germany has practical
~ a monopoly of the money order bust
ness. Between Germany and Brazil,

The post Office department is active
ly cooperating to stimulate trade be-
tween the United States and South and
Central America. Postmaster General
Burleson issued an order directing the
third assistant postmaster general to

of concluding conventions for that pur'
pose. These countries are Argentina,
