For January, February and March,
1918, the Cripple Creek samplers re-
turned $5,000.000 as the result OF fire
assay tests. Allowing fifteen per cent
for sampling and metallurgical losses
this means $4.250,00O for the quarter
and $l7,000.000 for the year, from a
fire assay. or actual output of $20,-

cal loss was placed at twenty per cent
in 1918 and at seventeen per cent III
1914. This year the percentage of
smelling ore is increased from five
per cent OF the total In 1918 to eight
per cent in the first quarter of 1915.
For last year-owing to, rich ore In

Washington, Feb. 27.-James Speyer,
head of the New York Banking House
of Speyer and Company, made volun-
tary statement before the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day of his
firms dealings with tine Rock Island
system during the period of its history
under investigation. The firm never

principal, had bought and resoh be

No Intention of Tres
passing or Interior
ing With Open Door
Policy. Says Premier
SHOULD NOT FALL
PREY OF OTHERS
Desire of Japan, Asserts Official, Is
That China Should Attain Real Dig
nifty of Independence-Guar
of Peace in Orient

Toxic, Feb. 27.-The japanese Prem
Ter, Count Okuma, said to-day that in
presenting its demand to the Chinese
government Japan had no intention of
trespassing upon the rights of China or
interfering with the open door policy
The desire of Japan, he said. was that
China should attain the real dignity
of independence and not fall the prey
of any nation.
Count Okuma s remarks were made
to Prof. Shailer Mathews, of the Uni
verslty of Chicago, and Prof. Sydney
L. Guliek, of New York, as they were
taking leave of the Premier. They
sailed for San Francisco on the steam
ship Mongolia, having completed their
mission to Japan, under the auspices of
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America. In the Judgment
of the japanese press, the work which
they have done in fostering cordial re-
lations between Japan and the United
States is of historic significance and
will prove to be most helpful in main.
tanning the friendship of the two ma
tions.
Motive of Jap Diplomacy
Count Okuma stated to Prof. Ma
thews and Prof. Guliek that the integ-
rity and prosperity of China not only
were TO the advantage of Japan, but
that they constituted the sole guaranty
of peace in the orient. To secure this
peace, he said, was the underlying mo-
tive of Japanese diplomacy. Japan
had no thought of infringing upon the
rights of other nations and acceptance
of her demands by China would involve
no such infringement.
efforts recently have been made to
invent some plausible reason for a dis
ruption of the relations between Japan
and America" the Premier continued.
"These attempts having failed, the
mischief makers now look to China as
field in which the two powers may
be made to clash | see no reason for
such conflict
Not to Monopolize Markets
Count Okuma stated with emphasis
that Japan and Great Britain possessed
a well-grounded understanding concern
ing equality of opportunity in China
and the integrity of that nation in ac-
cordance with the well-known policy of
the United States. He believed that
American manufacturers would find the
Chinese markets open to them. Japan
had no intention of resorting to un-
fair means for the purpose of monop-
olizing these markets.
Prof. Mathews made 100 addresses
during the month which he spent in ia
pan. He said that he was convinced of
the deep-rooted friendship of the Jap
anese for America and could conceive
of no possibility of serious difficulties
between the two nations, provided they
continued to discuss with frankness all
questions which arise between them.

tinued hearing on its application for a
renewal will not come up in court until
then. Because the Judges and court
stenographers have been busy all this
week with the trial of civil cases in
common pleas court, the Judges have
not had an opportunity to consider the
testimony pertaining to the application
of Harry White for the renewal of
the license for the Ann street, Middle
town, hotel. For the same reason the
application of Harry +. Eckinger for a
license for the Paxtonia Inn, in Paxton
ia, Lower Paxton township, which did
not sell liquor In the present year, has
not yet been passed upon by the court.
The belief was expressed in the
Court House to-day that the cases will
be disposed of finally early next week,
probably on Monday, when the court
expects to pass upon the Berrysburg
hotel man s application.
AT noon to-day, the time for closing
the county offices, three county hotel
men to whom renewals have been

COURT HOUSE
SCALES IN ALL MARKETS
City Sealer Next Week VIII Adopt
Style to Be Used by Harris
barg's Market Patrons

The type of scales that are to be
placed in the city markets for the bene-
iiet of the market patrons will be se-
lected next week by Harry ID. Reel, City
Sealer of Weights and Measures, who
now is testing out two different styles
at his offices in the Commonwealth
Trust building, Market street. Three
scales are to be purchased.
The scales, which the sealer is con-
siderng for the purpose of adopting
one, both are of fifty pound capacity.
The list price of one is 500, the other
is $150. After he has made selection
the sealer will direct the erection of
booths in three of the city markets, in
which to place the scales. The scales
then will be in charge of the market
house janitor.
Once these scales are installed the
City Sealer said he then may ask the
City Commissioners to provide him with
funds to equip all markets with mu-
nieipal scales.
