GERMANS DRAWING

Paris. Sept. 18.-Despite the fact
that the fighting continues all along
the line of the River Aisne, with little
change in the situation, il is believed

The war Office says that the Ger

Trinidad, Colo, Sept. 1S.-The coal
miners of the state have accepted
President Wilson's plans for a settle
ment of their difficulties with the
operators.
The mine owners of the state will
consider the plans at a convention to
be held in Denver Saturday.
The agreement calls for a three
year truce In the labor war, during
which time the miners are to waive
their union recognition, but may re.
tain their organizations.
The workmen are to have griey'
ance committees, which, in the event
of inability to settle differences With
employers, have the right to appeaI

1t is true that nature and a woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to woma,kind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more ~eficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
| thousands of letters from women seek
ing health - many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

GERMAN CRUISER IS
SUNK BY SUBMARINE

London, Sept. 16.-The small pro-
tected cruiser Hela, used al a scout
by the German government. has paid
for the British cruiser Pathfinder.
Like the Pathfinder the Hela has been
made the victim of a submarine.
While the location of the sinking has
not been admitted ii is understood 1t
was off Helgoland and that the Hela
sank within ten minutes.
Unlike the Pathfinder. however, the
majority of the Hela's crew were
saved. 1t was stated that the British
submarine escaped.
The Hela was a light protected
cruiser built in 1895 and rebuilt in
1910. She was 32S feet long, 36 feet
beam, had a displacement of 2.040
tons and carried a crew of IT'S men.

GOLD OUTPUT IN
AMERICA Is LARGE
California Breaks All Records
Except One Since 1854

Washington.-The value of the out
put of recoverable gold. silver, copper.
lead and zinc from mines in California
In 1913. according to Charles G. 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 increas-
ell yield. although the ore treated was
less In quantity, and there were fewer
mines reporting n production than In
1912.
The total recoverable value OF gold
from California In 1913 was $20.406.-
95S. Of which the deep mines produced
$11,570.7S or 567 per cent. The total
increase in the gold production was
$633,4S0. of which 5000 vas In the
yield from deep mines. The gold pro-
duction was larger than in any other
year except one since 1864. This great
output was due entirely to the opera
tons of the dredging companies and
the larger deep mines. as the number
of mines operated In 1913 was 245 less
than In 1912.
OF the gold recovered from placer
mines the gold dredges reported ST.
000.2 which was nearly 81 per cent
Of the total state yield in 1913. Since
the commencement OF gold dredging In
California, fifteen years ago. the gold
recovered from this source has amount
ed to $63. sos. 4S5. Most of this large
yield has been derived from ground
which could not have been mined prof.
itably under any OF the old methods Of
gravel mining. The 410 deep mines
sold or treated 2.495, 1858 tons of ore. a
decrease of l45. 539 tons compared with
1912. Most Of the siliceous ore. which
amounted to 2.031.420 tons. was treat
ed at gold and silver mills. yielding an
average recovery of $5.61 a ton in gold
and silver. The 44S,439 tons of copper
had a recoverable value OF $1-S4 a ton
In gold and silver and $11.74 in copper.
The 14.267 tons OF lead ore treated had
a recoverable value OF SLIPS In gold
and silver and $23.11 for all metals.
The zinc ore shipped In 1913 amounted
to 1923 tons, which was considerably
less than in 1912
