Confidence That Trouble Will Be
 Avoided Growing Stronger SNlPERS ARE REPORTED
Army Man Shot in Jaw By Concealed Eoe-Licutenant Brings Down Ran- dit-AH Await Conference pot,roo,, Scott and Obrep,on.

Ill Faso, Tex, April 26.-An indica- tlon of their confidence that serious tiollole Will be avoided between the ohlteo States and Mexico, three i'm portant American concerns made nre- paratlons today to reopen their plants in northern Mexico.
 the Alvarado Mining company, op- erat1ng near Parral; the Compania, Agrlcola, With plant at LaBouuilla. ana the National Mines and Shelter Co, with headquarters at Magistral. !. nave arranged to send forty mine op- erators into Mexico next Monday. Ihese mon have been given permis- slon by the de facto government to carry guns and ammunition to protect themsclVes against the rowing bands of bandits who still infest Chihuahua.
 The confidence shown by the mining companies is not, however, based en- t1rely on the protection which the de facto government can give them, ac- cording to one of their executives. This man said that he believed that the American troops are going to re- main in Mexico until the situation again became normal and that he and his colleagues were relying. on the ex- pectation that they. could call on United States soldiers for help in the event of serious trouble. -.
 Confidence in Obregon.
 At the same time there is consider able confidence among an important element of the people here in Gen. Obregon. The restraint shown by the people of northern Chihuahua over the entry of American troops into Mexico is believed to be largely due to the influence of Carranza's minister of war. It is pointed out that Gen. Ga.vira commander at Juarez, is a personal appointee of Gen. Obregon and that his constant and successful efforts to avoid friction with this scoun- try is unquestionably a reflection of the attitude of his military chief.
 The coming conference between Gen. Obregon and Gen. Scott is await ed with the keenest intrest.
