GENERAL CARRANzA
TO PUSH HIS FIGHT
signatory Governments Making Ar
engagements to Reassemble Pam
American Conference.

Washington. Aug. 20.-Convinced
that General Carranza will refuse to
assent to the proposal to join with
the other leaders of Mexico with a
view to the pacification of that coun-
try, the seven signatory governments
to the American conference are
making arrangements to reassemble
that body at an early date.
Apparently Carranza is determined
to push his fight regardless of the en-
deavors of the Pan-American confer
ence, and he is now engaged In a
campaign designed to convince the
seven republics that the civil gov
errors and military commanders that
acknowledge his craftsmanship will
stand by him to the end.
Responses to the Pan-American note
forwarded to Mexico last week were
received here today from Carranzista
leaders of prominence. Three of them
were directed to the seven republics
that compose the conference. Two
were replies sent to Carranza, cppfes
of which were made public at the
Carranza agency today. The six lead
ers In question proclaim their loyalty
to the first chief. and suggest that
for them to make a response to the
conference, indicating either dissent
or assent to the peace proposal. would
amount to an act of characterization.
These communications indicate that
the Carranzistas are united In though,
and purpose. and the inference is plain
that the constitutional government
will offer opposition II any attempt IA
made by outside influences to effect
peace in Mexico except on condition
that Carranza's enemies lshali sur
render. II is believed now to be cer-
tain that in his reply Carranza will
bid for recognition on the promise
that mis- sphere of influence in Mexicu
has been extended over such a broad
area as to justify the United States
and Latin-America in taking such
action.
The six Carranzistas who protest
loyalty to the first chief and indicate
that Mexico must be left to herself to
right her sovereignty. are General

Raising Injunction
Matter of Form

The amount originally sued for in
the Jim Butler-West End case, an
opinion in which was handed down
yesterday by Judge Averill in favor
OF the plaintiff, was 100000, the esti-
mated value OF $4,000 tons of ore ex-
tracted from the plaintiff workings.
1t happened, however, that this ON
plant was amended just before the
case went to trial, and the plaintiff
estimated the ore at S1,0o5,, 7lS and
sued for triple damages, making the
amount asked $3,1o7, l54.
The injunction is still in existence,
although the ore in question has been
awarded the defendant. The disso-
luton of the injunction is somewhat
a matter of form.-Bonanza.

Pays Good Price
for Time Mine

A quiet little deal was made in Fall
Ion this week by c. w. Kinney as
agent for the historic Hareyman
mine near Eagleville which was sold
to ]. H. Minjar and A. A. Stone,
Of San Francisco. James l.. Barron
and Hon. Lem Allen were the owners
of the property. In the early oOs
ore was hauled twelve miles to water
and worked by an Arastra.
1t is understood the price to be
paid for the property by the San
Francisco parties is $4,000, and that
a good substantial payment is to be
made within 90 days. There is suffi-
eient ore blocked iii to justify the
erection Of a ten stamp mill, which
the company exepcts to put in, but
IL the meantime a force of men will
be kept busy blocking out more ore.
This property is located about 20
miles southwest of Fairview and 10
miles northeast of Rawhide.-Church-

Government Gives
Grazing Figures
by United Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Nation-
al forests will pasture 1.9S3,775 cattle
and horses, S,747,O25 sheep and goats
and 64,O40 swine this year, according
to department estimates. 1t is hgur-
ed also that the government will get
81 100000 for grazing permits.
Grazing charges are higher than
last year. For cattle and horses ehey
are AZ to 90 cents per head in the
west and IS to $l.5O for cattle and
|$1.l0 to s. for horses. Sheep and
goats pay II to Is cents in the west
and Is to 40 cents in the east; swine
20 to 43 in the west and so to 90
in the east.
The cattle and horse allowance was
made 92.656 and the sheep allowance
120,SSl smaller this year than last.
This was because high beef prices
have driven many sheepmen into the
cattle business.
