BELIEVES END OF
 WAR IS NEARING
Member of President Wilson's Cabi- net Says King AlphOnso Will
 Act as Mediator.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-A morn ing newspaper here prints an inter- view with a member of President Wilson's cabinet, who requested that his name be withheld, stating that he believed the European war was about over and that peace would be soon restored in the warning countries.
 The cabinet member believed that King Alphonso, of Spain, would probably be called on to act as medi- ,tor with Pope Benedict, ac the Uni led States, owing to President Will sons firm stand on the German sub marine warfare, would make him un- to Germany.
 It is believed that President Will son has received an intimation from some of the governments of the Flu ropean nations engaged in the war that terms of peace would soon be an- nounced as dispatches from London of a few days ago predicted that En- peror William was ready to state his terms upon which peace could be reached and hostilities cease.

RACER |S
 SOLD FOR $15,500
Ballot Who Won $15O,OOO for James Keene Sold to Major MacdOW-
 ell at Auction Sale.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct. 29.-Maj. Mcdowell, the well known American horseman, yesterday brought James Keene's famous racing stallion Bal lot" for $15,5O0. The horse was sold at public auction when the estate of James Haggin was closed out to satisfy the claims of the heirs.
 Ballot is one of the most famous racers in America and won $150,00O in prizes for James Keene while in his string of racers. The horses best record was made at Sheepshead Bay on July 1, 1906, when he raced one and five-sixteenths miles in two min utes, nine and three-fifths seconds.
 Horsemen state that the prices paid for the animals auctioned off at the sale are the lowest for several years, as many of the horses owned by Higgins were among the best in the United States.

ANOTHER STRIKE
 IN GRANITE MINE
Body of Rich Ore Unexpectedly Un- covered in Upraise Which Will
 Add to Value of Property.

Senator B. F. Willard returned from the Granite mine at Hobo Bay, Port Wells, yesterday afternoon, bringing the news that another good strike had been made in the Granite mine on a different level from the strike made last week.
 The new ore body was struck in an upraise and proved surprise to the miners as they we're not aware of it's existence. It appears that while rum ming one of the upper tunnels some time ago a lead was encountered which was believed to be one of the surface leads that had pinched, and as it carried little values it remained uudeveloped. Later development work has shown that the lead was di- vi6e., by a horse" and that the ore body just uncovered is about twenty inches wide and very rich.
 Senator Willard states that while he extent of the deposit, or as to whether it is continuous, has not been determined he is satisfied that suffi- cient rich ore is in sight in the new deposit to yield $10O,000 in addition to the ores already blocked out.
 The Granite mills will be started grinding the rich ores and it is ex- pected that bricks of gold will be coming to Valdez with an even greater degree of regularity than dur ing the past year. A number of the Granite miners who were laid off while the upraises were being made will leave for the mine tomorrow morning on the launch Shamrock.
