BIG BRITISH Liner
SUNK BY SUBMARINE

London, Jan. 4.-Tle Glasgow
steamer G~lengyle, excepting the Lusi-
tania and Arabic the largest merchant
submarine victim of the war, has been
torpedoed and sunk.
The first dispatches received here
said that about 100 survivors have
been picked up.
The Glengyle displaced 5000 tons
and presumably carried a large crew.
1t is believed many lives have been
lost. although it is not believed the
vessel carried any passengers.
News OF the sinking of the big Glas-
gov steamer reached here while the
admiralty was bending every effort to
learn more of the details OF the sink
ing of the British liner Persia with a
loss Of about $50 lives.
a moment later came word that the
Japanese steamer kenkon Maru had
been torpedoed. The crew, it was
stated, vas saved.

MEETS AMERICAN DEMANDS
Reply of Austria to Second Note on
Ancona Sinking.

Washington. Jan. 3.-Austria's re-
BY to the Ancona note not only meets
Nile cardinal points of the American
demands. but gives assurances for the
future which are considered more sat
isfactoTy in their extent than those
which were given by Germany.
The full American official view will
not be known until after President
Wilson has studied the Austrian re-
ply, which was received from Ambas-
sador Penfield and was Immediately
dispatched to Hot Springs by a White
House messenger.
Austria in the Ancona case has sub
scribed to the principle that no ships
will be sunk, unless they offer resist
ance or fee, without the persons
aboard being brought to safety.
This is considered an assurance that
is ~farreaching and satisfactory.

LAY BLAST TO FOUL PLAY
General Opinion of British Regarding
Natal Explosion.

London, Jan. 3.-The loss of the
British armored cruiser Natal, sunk
by an explosion, generally is attribut-
ed to foul play. In support of this
theory attention is called to similar
disasters which overlook the British
battleship Bu1wark, which was blown
up off S%heerness in November of last
year with the loss of 700 or more
men and the British steamship Prin-

FACTORIES ARE PROSPEROUS
Total Value of North Dakota Products
in 1914 $21,147,OOO.

The value of the manufactured prod
ucts of North Dakota in 1914 was
$21, 147, 900, according to a bulletin
just issued by the federal census bu-
e a at Washington. This is an in
of 100000 over 1909, or 1915
per cent. The average value of the
manufactured products per establish
ment in 1914 was approximately $780,
600, compared with $4,000 in 1909.
These increases were effected in the
face of a reduction in the number of
manufacturing establishments from

NEW FIND MADE IN
 PIONEER PROPERTY
[FrOm oatman Section Daily Miner.I


 A stringer of good ore, which, in re- ality, takes the dignity of a vein, has been developed by a erosscut and drift on the 2OO-foot level of the Pioneer mine. It is two feet wide and assays $50 a ton.
 Under the former management of the property the north drift was off the main ledge for quite distance. A crosscut was run to the east and caught it again but the values were lower than expected. Recently new crosscut was driven on the west side of the drift which is on the footwall of the ledge and a stringer was fol- lowed into the formation by drift. It has been opened for 35 feet and high grade milling ore shows throughout.
 It is said to be looking better with each round of shots and to give signs of increasing in volume. Accordingly, it is anticipated that further drifting will expose an ore body of more ex- tensive proportions and of importance.
 The, opening is 225 feet north of the shaft and in the direction of the Ari- zona-Tom Reed boundary.

 The Murdock is down 300 feet and sinking at the rate of 100 feet a month, with its excellent equipment and energetic management. The Southern is down 100 feet and also sinking rapidly.
 The Pittsburgh is drifting on the 3OO-foot level and is getting pannings in the west drift from a seven-fOOt ledge, of which Superintendent Me Dougall thinks exceedingly well.
 The Leland is another property un- der the management of Mir. Porter, but it was not examined by Mir. Dunn. It is not working, but will be very soon when machinery arrives.

 He said when he was asked to get iuuor for a man who was i'll and In need of it he made the effort. Later he learned the man he had befriended was a detective in the employ of the county.
 The jury was out five minutes and returned a verdict of guilty.
 Five minutes seems to be the limit of the time a jury will give to boot logging case. Preceding the Curtiss case. came the case of the state versus John Carlson, colored, who was con victed of violating the prohibition amendment in the morning session of court, the twelve jurors reaching a unanimous verdict in the regulation time.

 Allen +. Rogers, consulting engl- neer for the Mexican company, which is a big concern that includes Keith and Keith of Boston, was here Thurs day on a periodical inspection of the Pioneer mine. He remained only one day. and during that time was quite busy.
 Prior to the Mexican trouble his company operated in Mexico exclu- sively, but on account of the turmoil gave up trying to develop it's proper ties, which accounts for its coming to Oatman and taking bond on the Plo- neer.
 During the period that the syndi- cate has been operating the property it has expended nearly S4O,0OO and has done a tremendous amount of un- derground work. It has put enough ore in sight to change the classltlca- tion from a prospect to mine.
 MT. Rogers eluded interviewers, but before starting for New York had a conversation with an Oatman man, in which he expressed himself favorably as to the Pioneer, and added that they would sink to China, if necessary. He is an associate of A. Chester Beatty, another celebrity as a mining engl- neer.

BOARDING HOUSE Is
 THREATENED BY FIRE

The bungalow known as the liar mony Boarding Club, situated on the hillside back of Sam Bayles' clothing store, came within an ace of being lain in ashes Thursday forenoon, and taking the rest of the business dis trict with it.
 The fire started in a pile of lumber scraps lying at a north corner of the house, and E. L. Reed happened to mo- tice it. Instantly an alarm went to the fire department, the bell rang and in half a minute the department and the crowd was in Main street, below there. But that did not solve the problem. Then it transpired that there was no way of getting to the house with fire fighting apparatus. Bremen tried to climb up the perpendicular side of an excavation, but could not make it and had to be helped.
 Chief Harry Simmons ordered the nozzle passed up to those who had been assisted in scaling the wall of earth, but before they could get the water on, a small hose turned on by Mir. Reed had done the work. The house was untouched by the fire.
 The chemical tried to reach the house by going through the alley be- tween the Fisher building and the Oatman theater, but could not get over the steep slope and thickly scat tered small buildings in the rear of the former.
 The house belongs to Fred Schilke and is rented to the club, of which Mrs. J. c. Whiting, of the Times Min ing company, is secretary. Mrs. Whit ing stated yesterday that she had paid twice to have the inflamable rubbish removed, and would now pay a third | time.

He says that the meeting was well attended, and much business transacted. The state tax will be largely reduced this year. the increase in taxable property having been placed at more than s23,- 100000 in the state, although some of the larger counties, like Maricopa, showed a decrease. The tax next year will be reduced fully 25 per cent. This is a wonderful showing for Arizona and indicates that the mining coun- ties have come up into the wind and are sailing on an even keel.

 The previous day Aument was chat ting with the proprietor of the St. Francis cigar stand and he says his adversary, whose name he had not learned, 'butted in" to the converse tion, offering gratuitous information about the young women, for whom several other young men have been buying gasoline. Yesterday they met again and Aument says he started the argument and the fight. He struck the first blow and several chasers, The crowd was not disappointing, like wise the fight, but there was a dearth of autos. for people to stand on the running boards and some of the drivers of those that were there were a little particular. Nor did the people have time to climb the hotel stairs to the upper veranda to get a good view.
 There were two rounds-lively, sat isfying, everything to be desired. The first one gave Vaaka's face several blemishes, but left Aument without a mark. The second added to the gen eral decorations and art color blends but slightly, with a bump on one cheek bone to mar Aument's good looks. They landed heavily and often -haymakers and uppercuts.

of Georges Carpenter, the French
aviator and champion heavyweight

the French flying corps at the front,
desire he has expressed each time
an offer from the United States to
arrange a bout for him has been re-

From the reports received here it ap
pears that Carpenter by boxing in the
United States could contribute appre-
ciably to the War Relief funds, and
his manager, Francois Descamps, told
the Associated Press today. that Car
pentier might go there provided he re-

no definite proposition for bout be-
tween Carpenter and Willard has
been received here. Miss Elizabeth

Carpenter, who is in Paris on a
few days leave of absence, was seen
by the Associated Press representa-
tive today. He appeared to be in eX-
cellent condition. Carpenter said he
was not thinking at present about
boxing, but his pugilistic business was
always in the hands of Descamps, his
teacher from the age of IA and his
manager during all his boxing career
Flying. he added, had in no way
slowed him up and life at the front
had been excellent training for him.
Descamps asserted that in an eXhi-
bition Carpenter gave at the Trocad-
ero the pugilist was faster than ever.
He added that the temperance of
Carpenter in the ring before the end
of the war depended, first, on the
French military authorities, and, sec
ond, on the propositions that might 1e
received.
