The German reply to the American
note on the Lusitania and submarine
warfare has been published both I'm
this country and in Germany, but the
official text is not yet in the hands of
the Washington government. Pending
its receipt and in the absence of Presi-
dent Wilson from the Capital, COM
ment in official circles is withheld
Indication of the way the note is
regarded in Germany is furnished by
cabled excerpts from an editorial In
the Berlin Morgen Post which declares
the answer "in every way worthy of
Germany" and expresses the convic-
ton that the note Twill meet unre-
strained approval at the hands of q
large part OF Americans"
London dispatches reflect what is
declared to be an optimistic view of
the war situation taken by the en-
tente allies induced hciefly by the Brit
ish conquest of German Southwest
Africa and the increasing powers of
resistance shown by the Russians.
The Russian official statement re-
ports the blocking of German attempts
to advance toward Warsaw from the
north and east and declares the Offen-
sive taken by the Russian armies below

Washington, D. c., July 10. - Al
though the official text of Germany g
note OH submarine warfare had not
reached here to-day, the press copy
which was read by officials was ac-
ceptcd as verification OF earlier I'M
pressions that Germany had refused TO
give the United States the assurance
asked for in the American note OF
June o.
EVERYWHERE In official quarters the
unsatisfactory character of the reply
was discussed along with the proba Die
action that the United States would be
compelled to take as a result OF Ger
many's unwillingness to concede TO
Americans the right to travel ON the
high seas on peaceiul mercnahIhheh
OF any nationality.
President Wilson will start from
. Cornish, n. H., for Washington In a
\ .ay or two to consider with his cabinet
the grave situation impending. Com
ment in Official quarters to-day was
sparing as to the course that would be
pursued, the general feeling being that
nothing should be said until the Presi-
dent had returned.
ON the other hand those in official
quarters familiar with diplomatic pre-
cedentS and the progressive develop
ment of the American attitude beneVed
that. having stated its position and
been refused the only source left open
for the United States seemed to be an
announcement that 1t intended to as
sert its rights as established under the
rules of International law. This would
mean in effect that the United states
would await violation by Germany
before taking action to compel respect
for the rights asserted.
There was a revival Of talk con-
cerning the severance of diplomatic
relations, 1t being recalled in official
circles that in the now famous cabinet
meeting of May II, when the sinking
of the Lusitania was first considered,
there was an informal understanding
that If the negotiations of the United
States to secure reparation from Ger
many for the destruction OF American
lives in that tragedy failed, the AM
erican Government might be justified

WAS GOOD MONTH FOR
 COPPER
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

July proved an unusually good month to holders O. stock in Ameri- can mines and works according to re- ports made to Mining & Engineering World. Disbursements totalled $8,- 6S8,98O and were participated in by 51 companies.
 The effect of the continued high prices for copper is beginning to be felt by the larger producers as cvi- denced by the resumption of dividend payments by majority of companies which discontinued payments some time ago. The operators of zinc and lead mines, also, have felt the influ ence of high prices and have in creased their declarations.
 While total disbursements during the seven months of 1915 are consid- erably behind those during the same. period in 1914, there is every indica- ton that the balance of the year will witness such large increases over the returns made in similar months in 1914 that the years total will be much greater than in that year.
 From reports made to Mining & Engineering World, it is learned that 97 mines and works have contribut- ed 48,492,497 to stockholders during the seven months of 1915 ending with July. These companies have total disbursements to their credit amount ing to $919244,561 on their issued capital of S516,697794.
 Sixty-five of the above companies operate properties classcd as gold silver-lead-zinc producers and they disbursed during the seven months of 1915 $19,666952. and since incorpora ton, S291 .495,193. on an issued capi- tai of $231,1441O4. Forty-seven of these properties are operated in the United States and they disburscd $15,131,5 562. Since incorporation divi- 1 dend declarations total $2l4,99l ,049. | Sixteen are Canadian properties and their disbursements in 1915 total S3,- 942, ,569, and to date $50 298,OS7. Three

SCHERER COPPER MINES IN NEW
 HANDS
IMPORTANT DEAL CLOSED LAST WEEK AND PLAN IS TO BEGIN OPERA TONS IMMEDIATELY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The taking over of the holdings of Joseph Scherer in Copper Basin, un- der an option to purchase, was an nounced on Saturday as closed.
 John Levezy, of Los Angeles, ac- quires this copper group of over 16 claims, and he stated before leaving for that city, he would return with in 10 days to begin development, and would be accompanied by his two sons. This operator is rated as among the wealthiest on the coast, and was for many years associated with the Col Sellars and Little Johnny, famous properties of the Leadville, Colorado, belt. His advent to this field Is oc- casioning very much favorable com ment from the prominence he enjoys in mining circles as successful and practical operator.
 The Scherer claims adjoin the Com mercial, and before closing this deal, Mir. Levezy made thorough inspec- ton of conditions shown in work per formed. as well as an investigation of that large acreage The considera- ton in this deal was withheld.

NO LIQUOR FOR PERSONAL USE
 SAYS JONES

FLORENCE, August 23-Attor ney, General Wiley E. Jones, in an opinion received by County Attorney Richardson, reiterates his former dec laration that no liquor can be brought into the State, even though ship ments be made solely for personal use," proceeding upheld by the United States Supreme court in the Kentucky case.
 In the Kentucky case, the attorney general points out, the Supreme court was dealing with a statute pro hibiting the shipment of liquor into local option territory and that the ac- ton of the legislature was limited by the provisions of the constitution. In Arizona, on the contrary, he says the constitutional mandate positively forbids the introduction of liquor and that the Kentucky decision does not affect this State

WORTHY MINERS ASSISTED IN
 GOOD CAUSE
ARIZONA COMPANIES CON- TRIBUTE $1,600 TO SEND RESCUE AND AID TEAMS TO SAN FRANCISCO.
(From Tuesday's DaiIy.)

Secretary J. H. Robinson, of the Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress, was officially ad- vised from Bisbee yesterday that the sum of $1,6OO had been contributed to send the winning mine rescue and first aid teams in the State contest to the San Francisco interstate con test on September 1924. Those vol untarily making this liberal donation were, the Arizona Copper Company, United Verde Copper Company, De troit Copper M. C., Ray Consolidated Copper Company: Inspiration Consol- dated Copper Company, Old Domin- ion Copper NJ. and s. Company, Calu- met and Arizona Mining Company, and Copper Queen Consolidated Min ing Company.
 The above sum will assure the men who will be sent to the field to meet at the exposition that not only will their expenses be paid, but that they may stay for sufficient time in which to see the sights.
 The companies whose teams may win will be given possession of the silver cups offered by the Arizona State Fair Association as trophies. Only one team can be entered by any one mine company during the Arizona contests of the Southwestern Mine Safety Association, to be held at Bisbee during the first week in September.
 MT. Robinson states these exhibi- tions of skill and training in rescue and first aid work are attracting at tention in all mining centers of the State, and great gathering of prac- tica1 miners will take place at Bisbee to witness interesting demonstrations of life saving a. well as rescuing those who may be in peril in the deep mines. As well will the occasion be attended with receptions, entertain ments and other pleasures to the hun dreds who will be present.
 Dr. J. C. Roberts, in charge of the Bureau of Mines Station of the Fed era1 government, will officiate as one of the judges, coming from Denver, Colorado.

Bud Fitzmaurice, foreman of the old hydraulic placer diggings on low CT Lynx. creek, was advised by tele- gram yesterday from Kansas City that dredging operations would be resumed in a short time, by the in troduction of a new and heavier plant This action follows from the test runs demonstrating attractive gold values, which proved a merited prop osition. The old plant will be dis carded. and one installed that will withstand the obstacles of the boulder formation.
