Two Switch Engines Jam
And Tie Up North Yards

Just how, or why it happened, none
OF the enginemen know, but late
Tuesday night, two switch engines,
one a Northwestern and the other
belonging to the Missouri Pacific,
came together at The crossing near
Fourteenth and Burt streets. Both
locomotives were almost converted
into scrap and the tracks tied up until
almost noon.
The Northwestern engine side
swiped that of the Missouri Pacific,
lifting it high into the air and topping
it over. In the collision, the Missouri
Pacific machine was pretty we'll brok-

completely stripped.

 High prices in all metals and ores and dhe falling off in i'm ports of minerals due to the Eu- ropean war is already showing it's effects in record activity among Colorado's mining camps. Enc tungsten fields of Boulder county remind old timers of the early days in Cripple Creek and Leadville. Fortunes have been mad in the tungsten fields and the increase demand for this ore for hardening tools promises continued prosperity. Zinc, which doubled it's output last year, is keeping up its record production. Good prices for sil- yer has resulted in a renewed in- terest in that metal. Experts predict a big rise in the price of silver al the close of the war, based on the belligerent's great need of silver for a medium of exchange since America is in possession of a large part of the worlds gold supply.

Capt. Morey, himself suffering
with slight wounds, with four men,
remained hidden throughout the day
in the house, which was within 1000
yards Of the Cararnza line
That night the party Of four start

way back to the expeditionary COM
mand. However. Capt. Morey soon
became so weak from loss Of blood
that he was unable to walk, and, be-
lieving he was dying, he ordered his
men to leave him and save them
selves.
This they did, but shortly the
wounded officer managed to rally
enough strength to crawl to the ranch
house of an American named Nc
Cabe. living about nine miles from
Carrizal.
Major Jenkins reported that he had
found Capt. Morey hidden in Nc
Cabc's house and that his wounds
were not dangerous. Upon the re-

mainder Of the Sd men who made up

"TlNlE IS INOPPORTUNE,"
Says Bolivian Diplomat--Niay Yet
Suggest Mediation, However.

Washington, June 26.---Efforts to-
ward Latin-American mediation in
the Mexican crisis, favored by Car
ranza officials, collapsed to-day with
out having reached the stage OF a
formal proposal to >the United States.
1t was made plain by Secretary
Lansing to lgnacio Calderon, minis
ter Of Bolivia, that the Washington
government sees nothing in the situ-
alton that would warrant arbitrat tion
proceedings.
Mr.. Lansing talked with the minis
ter for half an hour and is under
stood to have told him that the blame
for the grave outlook rested squarely
upon Gen. CarranZa. The attitude Of
the United States was so fully out
lined that Mr.. Calderon did not mcn-
tion directly the original purpose of
his visit, which was to ask If the Uni
ted States would entertain an offer
Of the services Of it's southern neigh
bors TO aid In averting war.
When the minister left the State
Department he said the time "seem-
ed inopportune." and that for the
present the diplomatic representa-
tives Of the six South and Central
American countries who had ap-
subject Of mediation and received as
surances that the Carranza govern
ment was favorable to the principle.
| would not tender their good Offices
to the United States. He indicated
tion might be renewed If Gen. Car
ranZas reply to Secretary Lansing's
last note furnished any basis on
which the proposal could be founded.
Millions Needed for Troops.
War Department activities during
the day covered wide field. Supple
mental orders to departmental COM
manders called for greater haste in
getting the national guard to the
border. Authorization went out to
accept men under the physical ex-
aminations on which they entered the
State service, postponing final exami-
nation until they are en route or have
reached the border. Those found un-
fit will be sent back at once.
Estimates to cover the pay and
maintenance expenses OF the State
troops, totaling $sS,000,000 up to
January /, were laid before Congress.
With them went figures OF $13,0O0,-
0GO for the purchase of horses and
mules for army use. The total esti-
mates of the quartermaster general
alone pass the $1O0,00O,000 mark.
The House passed the annual army
appropriation bill after adding $780,
100000 for emergency purposes dur
ing the brief debate that preceded
the vote. An urgent deficiency bill
carrying $25,000,0O0 for national
guard pay, equipment and. transpor-
tatton was framed in committee for
presentation to the House tomorrow.
