Villa and Carrauza, have contracted

Villas Mission -VOt Revealed.
The departure of Gen. Villa for the
north was variously construed. BY
some it was said that Villa planned
to take little further part in govern
mental activities in this part of the
republic. Others cOntended that Villa
went to retrieve conditions about san
Luis Polos1 and Saltillo. where the
c0nveutiOnalists were roughly handled
by their Carranza opponents.
The fact that Villa went to Juarez to
confer with Brig. Gen. Scott. chief OF
staff Of the United States army, did
not become known here

DECLINE IN IRON
ORE PRODUCTION.

Washington, u. O.. Jan. 16.-The
quantity of iron ore mined in the
United States in 1914 is estimated as
between 1900, 600 and 1880. 600 long
tons. and the quantity shipped to re-
ceiving ports and blast furnaces be-
tween $4,000, 900 and 100000 long
tons. These figures are given out by
the United States geological survey and
are derived from data received by Ern-
est T. Burchard from 81 of the import
ant iron mining companies, which rep
resent the principal iron producing dis
tricts. in 1913 there were $3.50, 437
long tons mined and 59.643,098 long
tons shipped The 1914 returns, there
fore show decrease in quantity of ore
mined and shipped Of about SO percent
from the tonnage Of 1913.

GOOD YEAR FOR
MINER50 Of COLD.
New Mexico Production In
creased Over a. Quarter
Of a Million in 1914.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 16.-The
gold mining industry of the United
States had a prosperous year in 1914
and regained its normal condition, in
asmuch as early returns indicate an
OUTPUT greater by nearly $4,000 900
than that of 1913. II. D. McCaskey, Of
the U. S. geological survey, who is
authority for these figures, adds that
the production in 1913 was lower than
for several years past and even in 1914
the output was considerably below
that Of any year in the period 1908
1912, when the high water mark was
reached. For 1914 the preliminary
figures Of the United States geological
survey and the bureau of the mint in
dictate a total gold yield Of 92,S23,50O.
In Alaska the output Of gold in
creased about 100000.
In Arizona the mine production OF
gold increased about $500, 600 in 1914.
The chief producers, the Tom Reed,
Gold Road. Vulture, and Common
wealth mines, were active and pro-
duced more than half the total yield
the remainder coming. largely from
copper ores.
In California the mines. produced
over 100000 more than in 1913.
Colorado mines increased their yield
by over S1,500.000 above that of 1913.
the greater part Of this increase, or
S1,143,000, being made in the Cripple
Creek district, where the mines and
mills had another active year
In New Mexico the mine production
increased nearly $4,000 but in Ore
EOn the output declined about $4,000.
California again retains first rank in
gold production in 1919, followed in
order by Colorado. Alaska, Nevada, and
South Dakota, as in 1913. Arizona and
Montana have both passed Utah, how
ever which dropped to eighth place ,
in 1914.
According to estimates from the
records Of the bureau OF foreign and |
domestic commerce, the imports in 1914
comprised gold valued at S5S.122,O00 /
and the exports were valued at S242,- /
I'll 900. The excess of exports over |
imports was therefore about S184.5S9. /
600. against an excess of SIS, 093,77S in /
1913.

NEW MEXICO COAL
OUTPUT INCREASES

Washington. d. C., Jan. 16.-In all
but one of the Rocky mountain states
the production of coal in 1914 was ma
terially less than in 1918, the excep-
tion to the general rule being New
Mexico. Because OF the continued Ia
Dor troubles in Colorado and the ina
bility of the operators there to meet
the normal demands the output OF New
Mexico, according to E. ". Parker, Of
the United States geological survey,
showed an increase of is to 20 percent
Coke productions, however, showed
decrease Of about 80 percent, as the
bulk Of the coke made in New Mexico
IS sold to copper producers and the
decrease in exports of copper reduced
the demand from the smelters.
Internal troubles in Mexico are also
partly responsible for decreased coke
production in New Mexico. The coal
production of the state in 1914 is es-
timated at 4,450.0OO tons, against
3,7OS,SO6 tons in 1918.

SILVER OUTPUT
HAS AN INCREASE
Arizona Is Sixth in Rank,
With Nevada Leading in
the Annual Output.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 16.-The do
nestle production of silver again
reached a high mark i'm 1914. The pre-
liminarv estimates of the United States
geological survey and the bureau of
the mint indicate an output of 61,929.-
700 fine ounces, valued at $3t,2Z5,OOO,
but the final figures may be somewhat
lower This was again one of the
greatest outputs since the domestic
production Of silver began, according
to H D. McCaskey, of the United
States geological survey. In 1872,
1913, and 1914 the highest record out
puts of quantity have been made, but,
owing to the varying yearly average
prices for the metal. the value Of the
output has frequently in the last %
years exceeded the value of any one
recent year.
Increases in mine production of sill
yer were notable in Idaho, California,
and Arizona in 1914, and large de-
creases were recorded in Montana,
Utah, Nevada, and Colorado.
Nevada retained first place in out
put OF silver in 1914, but early figures
fro mthe mines indicate a decrease in
production Of over 100000 ounces.
Colorado ranked fifth in silver pro-
duction, with a decrease of over 10000
ounces, and Arizona ranked sixth, with
an increase of about the same guam
tity and a record output
Demand for silver from India and
China was disappointingly light in
1914. and London stocks accumulated,
resulting in poor market
The imports of silver in 1914 were
valued at $25, 331 900, as estimated from
the records of the bureau of domestic
and foreign commerce. The exports
were valued at $4,000, 900, or $25,169,-
600 in excess of the imports. In 1918
the excess of exports over imports was
S26.9O8,S12.
The imports Of silver in 1914 were,
as usual chiefly in ore and bullion and
mainly from Mexico. which supplied
S141S6,000 in silver, and Canada, which
supplied IS, 657 900.

which, he said, were calculated to in
crease the misunderstanding between
the two countries rather than to assist
