All the war news that is given to the
press of the world comes from sources
other than German, that country clos

The little that filters through the other

But by Germann nothing is given out,

Surely the cup of trouble of the
owner of mining property in Mexico
runneth over, but the more is spilled
the more remains. The latest to
swell the flood is the announcement
that decree has been issued by the
Carranza government annulling all
mine titles granted during the
Huerta administration and declaring
null all proceedings relative to the
requirement of mining claims started
during the Huerta regime. Sixty
days from the date of the decree
august 29. 1910 is allowed mining
agents to make application for the re-
moval of all procedure previously
taken. 1t is further stipulated that
all the payments required by the min
ing law of Mexico in connection with
mining titles or mining claims must
be made agan to the present admin
istration. All rights will be lost by
persons who have not complied with
these new rules within 60 days and
the mining land will thereafter be
considered as open to announcement

ALPINE CHASSEURS ARE
BROUGHT INTO WAR

BASEL, Switzerland, Oct. 10
correspondence of the Associated
Press. - The mountain war going
on in the VOsges has brought into
action one of the most interesting
bodies of French troops, the Alpine
chasseurs. They are finely built,
powerful men, specially equipped for
the mountains. They are dressed in
hob-nailed boots, woolen leggings
and navy blue uniforms. They are
almost invisible in the dark pine
forests.
A favorite strategem m their fight
ing is to occupy positions in the
branches of trees cleverly masked
and so securely arranged that even
a wounded or a dead man does not
fall. Another device of the French
Alpine troops is for part of them,
secreted in the branches, to hold
their rifle fire until the German
troops have passed well into a wood,
and then to fire at them from all
sides. The light artillery is carried
upon mules.

SOUTH AFRICAN MINING
NOT MUCH DISTURBED

The gold mining industry of South
Africa has not been much disturbed
by the fact that the British are en-
gagged in the European war, and it's
position is at present satisfactory.
What future developments may
bring forth cannot be predicted.
The South African Mining Journal
prints an interview of one OF It's rep
resentatives with President e. A..
Walters of the chamber of mines,
which seems to state the situation at
the beginning of September very
clearly. Mr.. Walters said: "The
position of the industry today con-
tinues to be satisfactory. Adequate
supplies continue to be available for
all purposes. Nothing Is being left
undone to guard against a shortage
of any of the necessaries OF produc-
ton. Ample supplies Of cyanide,
zinc and mercury seem assumed,
and further shipments are now COM
ing forward. All this, of course, re-
fers to the not-too-remote future.
What may happen should the war be
Indefinitely prolonged. of course, l
cannot say. 1t is enough that every
thing humanity possible has been
done to safeguard the industry
against any restriction of opera

W|TTENBERG LEASE
TO HAVE new MILL

The Wittenberg lease at Manhat-
chinery will be shipped to TOnOpah
within the next forty-five days and it
is expected that the mill will be in
operation within the next three
months, or possibly before that time.
The plant will be modern in very
detail and will be one of the most
easily operated plants in Nevada, it's
capacity will be 200 tons per day.
The simplicity of construction is
due to the manner in which the val
ues occur in the ores. A careful eX-
animation, based on a large number
of tests, has demonstrated that the
greater percentage of the values are
found in the seams of the gangue
mineral contact in the form of fines.
The ore will be reduced in heavy
jaw crusher to approximately two
inch pieces, which will free the
greater portion of the values. From
the crusher the ore will pass over
a grizzley with thre-quarter-inch
spaces where the fines will be taken
out. The remainder which assays
approximately SO cents to the ton.
will be sent to the tailings dump.
The fines will be conveyed to a
tube mill, where they will be further
reduced, and i'll pass from thence
to the amalgamating plates. From
the plate the pulp will be sent to a
Dorr classifier. The overflow shines
from the Dorr classifier will be sent
to the tailings dump. The headings
will be returned to the tube mill for
further reduction, thus closing the
circuit.
The entire equipment of the mill
will be driven by motors.-Bonanza

Refugees have been telling the

tales of pretended relief workers

circulate among the incoming trains

of them warned passengers that
rooms were unobtainable at Rotter-
dam and advised Amsterdam for a
reason overheard by one of the refu-
gees.
What do you mean by telling
these people they can't get rooms in
Rotterdam" asked one agent angrily
of another.
I'VE want some of the business,
too," responded the Amsterdam man.
An American lady complained of
giving an endorsed check for twenty
pounds to an American stranger who
treated her gallantly in Germany.
Since he was going ahead of the par
ty, he volunteered to draw the mon
ey in London, and send her the rest
after paying six pounds to a friend
in London. No money came, and
the lady preceded to l.ondon. where
she learned that the gallant stran-
ger had not only drawn the money
for himself but instead of paying six
rounds to the London friend he hor-
rowed six pounds. His name did
not appear on the relief committees
books.
Another case closer home was that
of man who sold worthless tickets

RELATING TO CYANIDE

In order that the gold and silver
be forced to cease operations from
lack of cyanide with which to treat
their ores, the British government
has issued an order notifying all
manufacturers of cyanide that gold
mines throughout the empire are to
have the first call on all the prod
ucts, and silver mines the second
call. The Canadian gold and silver
mines are thus assured that they
will not be obliged to close down
their plants owing to shortage OF
cyanide. = Mining Journal.
