Friend of United States.

Senior Peralta is a warm friend OF the
United States. While in this country
he desires to interest American CAPT.
tai in developing Honduras which he
declares is the richest country in the
world. He received his education in
New Orleans. Senior Peralta has had d
long and distinguished career in the
government service OF Honduras, hav-
Ing served as customhouse collector
hrst secretary to the Honduras consul
IL tie at Belize. British Honduras. con
Su! IL Belize and consul general OF
Honduras At Panama. He was ap-
pointed Honduras minister to Mic
aragua by President Davllla.
Ny country, said Senior Peralta to-
day, is very anxious to see that the
pan-Amerlcan doctrine becomes a real
ity. All the countries of the western
hemisphere must cooperate, not only
in friendly feeling, interchange of ideas
and commerce, but also in a strong
defensive alliance in event any one of
them or the United States should be
attacked by other powers after the
end of the European war.
Ready to Form Alliance.
Honduras and the other Central Ameri-
can countries concerning the pam
American doctrine. know that my
country would be willing to form an
offensive and defensive alliance with
the United States. and If the United
States should be attacked the Republic
OF Honduras would gladly place all o.
her resources in men and money at the
disposal OF this country.
The pan-AmerlCau doctrine is the
greatest idea that has been advanced
in this century for the defense and con
t!nued peace and prosperity of the pan
American countries and the United
States
with these countries in a bond OF
friendly cooperation, and with a de-
fensive alliance, the republics of the
western hemisphere will always be
able TO resist any enemy, no matter
how strong. and TO preserve the idea Is
OF liberty and free government which
alone exist in North and South America -

Colonel Anxious to Get Back.

That Col Roosevelt is anxious to get
back into the republican fold and work
on the inside. rather than to lead again
what many consider a hopeless independ-
ent cause, is known to some of his close
friends These same friends believe also
that he does not desire to be an active
candidate for the presidency in either
camp. although some of the Old guard
republicans have their doubts as to how
far he might go if he was admitted 10
the republican councils.
1t was pointed out that the Gary dim
ner. from the personnel of the guests,
was essentially steel dinner, and In
that respect the colonel was among his
old friends" and some of his best ad-
visers in the past. While the political
activities of some of them have not
been pronounced, their business infiu-
ence is large, and IT was suggested that
their appeal would most likely have
been along such practical lines for the
colonel to re-enter the lists in COM
mon cause to re-establish industrial
sta bility in the place of the present
theoretical. wabbling policies.

Would Help Defeat Wilson.

With the coloners declaration that he
proposed to work for reunion of
forces to defeat the present unsatisfac-
tory administration of industrial affairs,
with the future prosperity of the coun-
try as the chief issue, republican sue
cess would practically be assured next
year, according to some of the repubh-
can leaders That was most likely to
have been the drift of the talk at the
Gary dinner, 1t was said.
George 3. Cortelyou, who was in Co.
Roosevelt's cabinet and managed hIo
campaign until the colonel split the re-
publican ranks, said yesterday that
many of the political inferences drawn
so far from the Gary dinner, at which
he was guest, were not based on facts
When il was suggested to him that the
inference had been drawn that the af-
fair was beginning toward healing
the republican progressive breach, he
insisted that the proprieties had to be
observed and he could not discuss what
had taken place a d private dinner.
All overtures to Col. Roosevelt TO dis
cuss the gathering of Friday night met
with the same polite refusal, and the
reply that he would have nothing to
say until after the first of the year."

meeting of the progressive national
committee in Chicago January IL.

Just arrived in Washington to discuss
with delegates to the Pan-American
Scientific Congress the extension of the
pan-Anerican doctrine throughout

American doctrine, which. il is ex-
planned, would affect the defensive SOL

pan-American countries with the
United States. for the purpose of pro-
tecting the North and South American

aggression, has, according to a state

COPPER PRODUCERS
 KEEP PRICE OF TIE
 METAL AT l9 CENTS
Conditions in the Metal Mar
 ket About the Same for Sev- eral Weeks Past. Produc- CTS Still Hold for 19 Cents.

The coper producers continue to hold firm for a price of l9c pound for electrolytic metal this price in- cluding delivery Some metal is be- ing let out at IS 3-4c,. but mostly for domestic delivery, and second hands and feeding out small poundagcs al IS l-2. There is a very neayy inquiry underlying the market for domestic metal at IS 3-S., but the producers are holding out for better terms albeit this figure nets them about the same price at l9c. for export metal.
 In London electrlytic copper com mands price of ES7 per long ton. This is equivalent to 1S.9c pound. The price is down e from the quo tation week ago
 Lake metal is selling al IS 5-ic, to 1g 1-4., and fancy Calumet and Hecla brands command a price of better than 2Oc. It is reported that the United States government has option ed the unsold output of Calumet and Hecla for the rest of the year at price of better than 20c.
 Producers report that buyers are gradually coming into the market again. following their hesitancy short ly after the sinking of the Lusitania' two weeks ago. This applies both to domestic and foreign buyers. There is a report in metal circles that the United States government, taking lesson from the recent happenings in Europe is laying in a liberal store of the metals, notably copper, zinc and lead. Of course. these reports can' not be verified, since the negotiations are. naturally, cloaked in state se- ! crecy
 It has been pointed out that the shipments of copper metal to Europe since last August are aDou, two i thirds normal. which is really a re- markable record. considering that the Teutons. who ordinarily import about 50 per cent of our metal, are unable to secure any. The figures indicate an apparent consumption Of copper in allied" Europe exceeding by 5O per cent the normal consumption in peace times
 lt has been overlooked in metal circles that the above figures apply only to shipments of coper in the form of copper ingots bars, wire, etc A good deal of metal is shipped abroad in the form of brass, and it is a significant fact that shipments of brass since last August exceed nor nal brass exports to Europe by 5000, 900 pounds a month

 Prior to the directors meeting a thorough inspection of the under ground workings was made Dy the gentlemen mentioned accompanied by R. l.

Mnlino Plans.


 Drifts were started northwest and southeast in the ore this week on the 460 and 565-foot levels. The perma- nent working shaft will be located along the northwest strike of the ledge at a point as yet to be determined Through its medium the mine will be opened at great depth, levels be es- tabished at 2OOIoot intervals and ore blocked out The mill will be erected adjacent to the permanent shaft, there by minimizing the expense of hand ling the ore at surface.
 The size and character of the mill as yet has not been determined. The plans for its erection have, however taken definite form and will soon reach the construction stage A water supply sufficient for milling opera. tions on am extended scale has been provided for by the purchase of water rights and will be supplemented by water from the mine workings The present flow in the mine is not large but will in an probability increase as the drifts are extended in the ledge As a matter of fact. the touching of
