The Hop Canon mine district, five

Moore and Wolf, who are operating
the Black Cloud mine, are shipping
heavily at the present time.
The smelter at Socorro. recently

In 1914 the production of metals
from New Mexico mines, according to
Charles w. Henderson of the United
States Geological Survey, showed an
increase in gold, silver, copper and
zinc, and a decrease in lead. The
mine output of gold was $1,171,696, an

now or are in the hospital recovering

The Drayton-Good Oil Company, OPP
Grating in the Grass Creek field, near
Thermopolis, brought in a gusher at
the depth Of 1850 feet. over 1900
feet of oil stands in the well after the
rn-off. The oil is high grade. The
location of this well is outside Of the
escapement described by biologists,
and as the big flow OF oil was en-
countered at great depth. and as the
drill passed through sands at the L.
600 and 1,2O0-foot level. in which wells
have been brought in in the main field,
the fact is now demonstrated that oil
may be found where there are no
geological indications.

In the society Islands.

Pigs represent a kind OF concrete
idea Of position among most of the
natives Of the Society islands. These
animals, in fact, are just as carefully
nursed as children. Only male pigs
are esteemed, however, and are tied
all their lives to a pole under alittle
roof, while the sows run wild.
The pigs are carefully fed" writes
Doctor Speiser, but this. their only
pleasure, is spoiled by constant and
terrific toothache, caused by cruel
man, who has a horrible custom Of
knocking cut the upper eyeteeth OF
the male. The lower teeth, finding
nothing to rub against, grow to a sur
prising size, first upward. then down,
until they again reach the jaw, grow
on and on, through the cheek, through
the iawbone, pushing out a few other
teeth on the way. Then they come
out Of the jaw again and curve a sec
ond, sometimes a third, time, If the
poor beast lives long enough.

PRESIDENT TO END WAR
COUNT Won RERNsToRFF NOW
ADVISES KAISER THAT WILSON
IS MAN FOR eEAcEMAkER.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Sept 2.-Germany is
ready to make peace and wants Presl-
dent Wilson to handle her negotle-
lions with the allies.
This was the startling development
following Germany's complete surren-
der TO every demand contained in
the Presidents recent notes calling on
the Kaiser to cease his submarine at
tacks on merchant ships on which
Americans we're travelling.
Count Won Bernstorff came from
New York Tuesday night. and early
Wednesday morning communicated
to Secretary Lansing Germany's prom
Use to accede to the American de-
mands, as contained In President VIII
sons notes.
The German reply is a pledge that
no more American lives will be sacri-
ficed. and full r~eparation will be made
for those already killed.
The German note clears the atmos-
phere and averts the severance Of
friendly relations.
Following the handing Of the note
to Secretary Lansing, Count Won
Bernstorff telegraphed the Kaiser, It
was said, that President Wilson is the
only man who can at present effect
peace.
New German terms are in course Of
preparation and in official circles in
Washington it is believed that the end
Of the wal is at least in sight and
that MT. Wilson will serve as the in
%termediary.
After his conference at the State
Department Ambassador Won Berns-
torff sent Secretary Lansing this let
ter:
my Dear Mr.. Secretary:
with reference to our CONVERSE
ton of this morning l beg to inform
you that my instructions concerning
our answer to your last Lusitania
note contains the following passage:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and with
out safety to the lives Of the non-com-
batants provided that the liners do
not try to escape or offer resist
ance.'
Although I know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitania ques-
ton till the Arabic incident has been
definitely and satisfactorily settled
l desire to inform you of the above
because this policy of my government
was decided on before the Arabic in
cident occurred.
81 have no objection to your max
ing any use you may please Of the
above information.
Il remain, my lear Mr.. Lansing,
VERY sincerely yours,
(Signed) ~. BERNSTORFF."
Statement by Lansing.
In connection with the letter Secre-
tary Lansing made the following
statement:
I'm view of the clearness of the
foregoing statement it seems needless
to make any comment in regard to 1t
other than to say that it appears to
be a recognition of the fundamental
principle for which We have con
tended"
Count Won Bernstorff's letter was
forwarded to President Wilson as soon
as it was received at the State De
partment.
