Increased Demand for White Metal
Rejuvenates Colorado Mines That
Have Lain Idle for Years.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-The price cf silver April
rs rose to 71.37k cents per ounce. a
gain of cents during the week. and
the highest quotation given the white
metal since Nov. II, 1906. The ad
vance reported was an increase of Is
points over the price of the day be
fore. and a gain in one week of 81
points. On Saturday it sold up to
73hc.
The metal price for silver now ex
ceeds. the financiers say, that offered
in Mexico. Japan and the Philippines.
where the ratio of silver to gold is 81
to l. or a value for coinage of &C
cents per ounce.
The effect the rapid advance, due
to the increased foreign demand, is
having on Colorado mining recalls the
old boom days. Camps that had
lain idle for years, because the per.
centage Of silver in the ores was not
enough to pay for working at the low
price, are being rejuvenated.
Districts where low grade ores were
known to exist, but which have not
been exploited, are receiving atten'
tion of prospectors and mine owners.
From the hills of the Cache la Poudre
and Medicine Bow, in Larimer coun.
ty. to the southern boundary Of the
state, old mines and prospects are be-
ing reopened.
A demand for miners is created by
the advance, and many who have
been out of work for years, because
OF the abandonment of old shafts, or
who have been driven into other pur-
suits, are preparing to return to their
| old love-the hills.

Columbus, N. NJ. May 2.-Military
authorities at the base camp here ap-
peared to believe last night that
events of importance in the Mexican
situation are impending. A spirit of
| anticipation seemed to be manifest
over the reservation, although no defi-
mite reason was offered. Soldiers Of
the garrison were being kept close to
the reservation in readiness for any
Four companies of infantry received
marching orders, and it is believed
they will get under way today. 1t is
known Gen. ]. J. Pershing, expedition
ary commander, is being kept closely
In touch with the conferences in Ell
Paso and Juafez. and is laying his
plans accordingly.
A long important message from Ell
Paso was transmitted to him over the
army wireless, but no inkling Of its
| contents was given out here.
From military headquarters came
the statement that there have been
no new developments in the field, and
all operations are at standstill pend
ing the result of the conferences"
A report that detachment under
Col. James B. Erwin had engaged
Mexicans was denied

FL Paso, Tex, May 2.-Information
from Washington that Secretary Ba-
ker had instructed Gen. Scott and
Gen. Funston to make it plain to Gen.
Obregon that an agreement reached at
their conference here must not be
based on any plan for immediate with
drawal was received with gravity In
Juarez.
Gen. Obregon refused to comment,
saying he would await developments
at his next conference with the Ameri.
cans. This, it was expected, will take
place today, altho it is possible that
1t may be delayed until after the reg.
ular Tuesday Cabinet meeting at
Washington.
Among other Mexican officials
gloom was openly expressed. 1t was
pointed out that Gen. Obregon had
come to the border confident that he
could persuade Gems. Scott and Funs-
ton that the American expeditionary
forces should be withdrawn at once.
Secretary Bakers instructions to the
American conferees were regarded as
completely blocking the hopes Of the
Mexican minister of war.
Tho border patrol has been doubled
and troops are closely watching Mexi-
cans.
lWashington.-Eliseo Arredondo, the
Mexican ambassador designate, called
on Secretary Lansing to renew his ar
gument in favor of early withdrawal.
He followed closely the line taken by
Gen. Obregon in his exchange Of views
with Gems. Scott and Funston. He
was informed that the State Depart
ment would not take up any diplo-
matte discussion on the subject, as
urged by Gen Carranza, until after
the military conference at 81 Paso
had been concluded.
