NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April a.
Sixteen hundred tons of coal---enough
to take II to the nearest Ger

the cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich to-
night, and Captain Thierichens was
preparing TO take stores aboard Sun
day. While he told friends he was
much relieved, now that his ship
was coaled, he declined to discuss
his plans and the immediate course
OF his raider still was problematical.
During the day local government
officials were In communication with
Washington and Collector Hamilton

MINE WARFARE IN THE WEST

LONDON. April 2.--The official war re
ports contain little news today. and that
which they do give relates only to opera-
: tons Of minor importance. Mine warfare
has been in progress at many points in
I the west. and at othe~ points there have
been artillery duels ano occasional in
/ fantry attacks. but nothing that has in
any way approached the proportions of
battle.
! In the east the armies stand about az
they we're. The fighting in north Poland
has been Of desultory character. both
sides apparently having given up any idea
OF advancing for the present. In central
Poland however. the Russians are show
/ ing a certain liveliness.
/ The German official reports for the last
! two days have noted attempts of the
Russian troops to resume the offensive
on the Rawka river, while Vienna re-
! ports a severe attack by the Russians in
I the vicinity Of the Pilica river, which
! they claim to have repulsed.
These movements doubtless have been
undertaken to prevent the Austrisns and
/ Germans from sending reinforcements
/ from this front TO strengthen the armies
which are trying to hold the Carpathian
passes against the onslaught of the Rus
slams, who daily report the capture of a
large number OF prisoners, but who APP

PRODUCTION OF GOLDFIELD CON.
TO DATE EXCEEDS $63,OOO,OOO

Semi-official figures upon the
output and earnings of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company in the
year of 1914 constitute an interest
ing commentary upon the continued
productivity of this district, despite
the fact that it is more than a dec
ade since the news of the discovery
of it's latent wealth found it's way to
all corners of the globe. They are
timely, and unusual significance at
taches to them in view of the present
general revival of activity through
out all sections of the camp, which
is directly attributable to the SEN
sational ore discoveries at depth in
the Velvet territory of the Jumbo
Extension mine, supported by the
pleasing developments along the fa-
nous latite-shale contact in the At
lanta and Merger properties.
All persons, even remotely asso-
ciated with the mining industry, will
