FRIENDLY NOTE is STRUCK IN
PRELIMINARY REPLY TO
COMMUNICATION FROM
UNIIeD STATES.
DOCUMENT MADE PUBLIC
BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT
Officials Of Washington Government
Construe Statement as C%onceding
Principles Expressed by Amer
lean Note Were Upheld by
international Law.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Great Brit
aims reply to the note from the United
States government requesting an i'm
provement in the treatment of Ameri-
can commerce by the British fleet,
has been made public here and in
London by mutual agreement between
the State Department and the British
Foreign Office. The communication
concurs in the view of the United
States that commerce between neutral
nations should be interfered with only
when imperatively necessary.
United States Principles Upheld.
Officials of the Washington govern,
ment construe this statement as con
ceding that the principles expressed
by the American note were just and
upheld by the previously accepted
usages of international law. The only
formal comment made was contained
in a brief statement issued by Score
tary Bryan. He said:
This answer being preliminary and
not intended as a complete reply, we
will postpone comment until the full
answer is received.
England to Make Redress.
Briefly, the British note, while con
ceding the principles of the American
governments contentious, points out
difficulties in actual practice. refers
to alleged fraudulent practices by
shippers, and cites statistics showing
IN increase rather than a decrease in
certain neutral in support
of Great Britan's suspicion that Ger,
many and Austria have been indirectly
obtaining c~ontraband through neutral
countries.
The note promises that Great Brit,
ain will make redress whenever the
action of the British fleet may un-
Intentionally exceed the limits of in.

SEARCHLGHT CHINESE
RUNS PRIMITIVE MILL

The Chinese have the reputation
of being without initiative, but are
generally reputed to be endowed with
a great bump of imitation. The Min
ing Press, however, tells of a Chinese
miner working near Searchlight,
New. who has shown great mechani-
cal skill in the construction of a one
stamp quartz mill.
The mill may be said to made of
Junk, yet Shame Yet, the builder,
claims that with 1t he can crush 500
pounds of ore a day and make a saw
ing of so to 80 per cent. The cam
is made from an old wagon wheel,
the tappet is an old cog wheel, and
the boss and shoe are made from the
plunger of a pump. The mortar box
is wood, with 40-mesh screens. A
gasoline engine furnishes the mo-
tive power.

FAMILY QUARREL
ENDS SERIOUSLY
BEN BOWEN ARRIVES HOME
LATE AND SHOOTING Is
THE RESULT

Angered because her husband,
Ben Bowen, a musician employed at
the Red Mill dance hall. was two
hours late in keeping an appointment
with her at their rooms which they
had engaged temporarily at the st.
Nicholas hotel, Mrs. Bowen called
him to task upon his return shortly
after 2 o'clock this morning. In the
quarrel which ensued she picked up
a pen knife and struck him, inflict-
ing a slight flesh wound.
A struggle followed and she was
shot twice with a .32 caliber revo1-
yer, one bullet s~hattering her right
arm just above the elbow while the
second entered her temple and
passed out behind her ear, inflicting
only a slight scalp wound. Whether
Bowen drew the gun or wrested 1t
from her while she was attempting
to use it has not been definitely as
certained. Bowen claims that the
gun accidentally went off while he
was taking it away from her and she
says that he drew the weapon. In
speaking of the affair this morning,
Mrs. Bowen said that she provoked
the whole affair and that Bowen was
not in the least to blame. She says
that she doesn't want to prosecute
him.
Following the shooting Bowen
telephoned the sheriff's office and
stated that there had been a shoot
ing scrape. Upon the arrival OF
Deputy Sheriff John Shirley, Bowen
gave himself up and was taken to
the county Jail while his wife was
conveyed to the county hospital.
Pending a definite outcome of the
injured woman's wounds no charge
will be placed against Bowen. The
couple intended leaving for Tono-
pah within a few days and had en-
gagged rooms for a day or two at the
st. Nicholas.

PEAK MINE
NOW PRODUCER
CREASED-LARGE TONNAGE
OF ORE DEVELOPED

Martin Costello, in charge of the
Star Peak property, was in Winnie
mucca yesterday. Mr.. Costello is
operating in different sections of the
west, particularly in Nevada and
California. He is rated among the
best mining operators on the coast
and his enterprises have been amply
successful. Recently he disposed Of
a California property for $685. 600
which he took as a mere prospect
4 few years ago. 1t is part of the
Grass Valley mining system.
Speaking of Star Peak, Mr.. Costel-
10 expressed himself as follows:
1--WE are going to push u devel-
opment as fast as good work will
permit. We have an excellent prop
erty. 1t is a profitable venture and
by April Is we will be employing
from 20 to 80 miners and tram
mers.
eve have a fine 14-foot vein which
breaks and reduces at SIS per ton.
Ur to the present we have been
operating only five stamps, but are
adding another five stamp unit which
in a short while will give us ten
stamps dropping on ore. We are
also adding a cyaniding plant. These
additions and improvements are suf-
iicient to suggest that we have a
good property and that our conf
jence in its future for enlarged pro-
duction is positive.
"The Humboldt range essentially
is a great mine opportunity. With
systematic development and the de.
termining fully of the fault system
of those mountains there will be
made, in my opinion, outside of
Rochester. some of the great mines
OF America. The range sure has great
naturalization and mine features.
The opportunities on this score are
of the best. '-Humboldt Star.
