Action Takes Place at Car
rial, 70 Miles From
U. S. Camp.
OFFICIALS SAY
WAR IS CERTAIN
Mexicans Lured Detach-
ment Into Trap; Pershing
Ready to March.

CAN ANTONIO, Texas, June
- 21.-American soldiers from
General Pershing'S command and
a force of Carranza S troops COM
manded by General Felix Gomez
fought today at Carrizal, nine
miles south of Ahumada. the
Mexican field base. and seventy
miles east of General PerShing's
line of communication. General
PerShing had been unable to get
to General Funston late tonight
any report of the engagement,
but there appeared no reason to
doubt the report from Mexican
sources that serious engage
ment had taken place and there
was little doubt that the Amer
leans. a detachment of the Tenth
cavalry, a negro organization,
had suffered heavily.
According to the report, forty
Americans were killed by ma
chine gun fire in a surprise at
tack.
Tension Higher.
Instead Of the tension being
broken by the clash it was keyed
still higher tonight and there APP
peared no probability that 1t
would be lessened until the of
ficial report from General Per
Shing was received or until of
ficial news of undisputed aggres-
sion by the same Mexican troops
engaged today or by some other
body of Mexican troops is re-
ceived. General Funston said he
would send no special orders to
General Bell. commanding at FL
Paso. or to General PerShing
until he had received official
news.

Carrizal will be recalled as the first

United States depended tonight
largely on discovering which side was
responsible. The Mexican com
mander precipitated the fight by firing

>werc moving forward to parley. re-
port brought to FL Paso late today by
an American indicated that the Amer
leans had been treacherously led into
an ambush by the use OF white flag.
Gomez Is Killed.
The meager details of the fight re-
ccived by General Funston included
the facts that Gen. Felix Gomez, com
manding the Mexcans. was among
the killed that the casualties on both
sides were considerable and the init
nation that the Americans had fallen
back. II was admitted tat army head
quarters that General Funstons de-
termination not to send any special
orders to General Pcrshing or to Gen
era, Bell did not mean that swift
punitive action would not be under
taken. II was regarded as not at all
improba nlc that even already General
Porshing may have taken steps to
even the score. Many officers at de-
partment headquarters believed that
if he had not already sent heavy
force towards Ahumada he would do
so on receipt Of the news and their
knowledge Of the number of men he
has and of their condition and state OF
preparedness left little room to doubt
the drastic punishment he would
mete out to General Trevino's troops
unless specifically ordered to hold
back.
From Brownsville to the Pacific
General Funston's army of forty
thousand was ready tonight to be
hurled across the border and officers
at department headquarters were
counting the hours 1t would take to
bring south units of the national
guardsmen.

the usual sums appropriated for the
support and civilization of the In
dams In Arizona, which amount to

SILVER GOING UP.

Again the price of silver climbs
upward. 1t has not yet touched the
high point of a few months ago, but
the strength of the market gives
promise of new high record. The
reasons for expecting a Continued
demand for the white metal are still
the same as they We're when the war
began, except that these reasons
have been intensified by the ex-
tremity of government ftnanciers in
European countries. Gigantic inter
national credits have been created
by the war, and the United States
has largely taken possession of the
gold supply Of the world. Europe
needs silver as a basis of its money
systems, and silver it will have at
the best prices which have prevailed
In the last quarter of q century.
Some hope exists that an effort will
be made by international agreement
after the war to stabilize the price
OF silver In its relation to gold which
means practically reconciliation at
some level which seems reasonable
TO the great nations of the world.
Ii this is done, encouragement to
the opening and development of sill
yer mines will lead to greater pros
perity in the silver districts of North
America. T

Great interest LIS centered In the
progress of the churn drill In opera
tion on the property of the Parker
Syndicate. While the immense por-
phyry outcrop, through which the
churn drill is eating Its way to water
level, contained fair values in cop
per sulphides almost from the
surface, 1t was not until a depth of
100 feet had been made before the
values began to surprise the mining
men C this district.
Since then the drill has penetrated
the sulphide ore body for distance
OF over 200 feet, It's present depth be.
Ing around 500 feet. 1t Is said that
the copper values will average about
five per cent. and when water level
IS reached those who are familiar
with the property state that the cop
per cent will be appreciably
increased.
