The recent important new discovery
 of high grade ore at the Mother Lode
 copper mine. near Mccarthy, is iR
 the east crosscut on the 200 foot level,
 which Is now being developed as rap idly as possible by the driving of two
 drifts running north and south and m upraise following the ore vertical ly. This work so far has proved the ore to the extent of 100 feet horizon tally and 30 feet vertically, and the ore is improving both in quality and
 width with each foot driven. The fact of this discovery being found at the extreme end of the deepest level at depth of over 450 feet below the surface gives it all the earmarks of a large body of high grade ore, and Superintendent w. B. Hancock antiei- pates its continuance in depth for a considerable distance below the 200 foot level As soon as circumstances will permit a dipping incline will be started to follow 1t in that direction. This discovery has infused new life and energy into all employees at the mine, and the miners employed on il

TO ENFORCE ADAMsON LAW
Government Ready to Start An Az
gressiVe Fight Against the Rail-
roads of the Country.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE admins
tration is ready to start an aggressive
fight in behalf Of the Adamson Law,
now object of concerted attack by
most of the big railroads of the coun-
try, it was made clear today. Belief
was expressed by high officials that
the efforts to enjoin the operation Of
the law would fail.
1t was suggested that the govern
ment might not confine its efforts to
defensive tactics, if the hope Of the
railroads to prevent the operation of
the law should appear likely of real
ization. If the railroads tie up the
enforcement of the Adamson Act, the
railroad workers are expected to
strike. It is the view Of some Of the
Presidents advisers that the courts
would hold the railroads responsible
for interference with interstate COM
merce in such case and would COM
pei them to abide by the provisions OF
the act.

DEUTSCHLAND SINKS A TUG
German U-Liner Strikes Escort Boat
in Dash Out of New London
Grew Drowned.

New London, Conn, Nov. 18-An at
merchant submarine Deutschland end
ed early today in collision between
the submersible and an escOrting tug
in which Captain Quincy and four
members of the tugs crew were
drowned.
The Deutschland, bound for Bremen,
put back to port Immediately after the
collision and by 5 o'clock this morn
ing was again warped into her pier.
She was once more shielded by the
liner Willehad, her mother ship, .
and the big steel net was swung into
place to further guard her.
Second Accident to u-Liner.
Work was Immediately begun by a
small army of workmen to learn the
extent of the submersible's damages
as a result of her second collision on
the present trip. She smashed into a
pier when she made her start from
Bremen and was held up ten days for
repairs.
The collision this morning occurred
in the treacherous stretch of water be-
tween Fishers and Little Gull Islands,
known as the Race. The water there
is $50 feet deep. A strong current
through the narrow stretch at the
mouth of Long Island Sound makes
it one of the danger points in that
vicinity.

CAPITAL IS READY TO FIGHT
Employers Form Big Organization to
Protect Their Interests-Pur-
pose to Stop Labor Laws.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE capital and
labor situation arising from the rail
roads determination to fight the
Adamson 8-Hour Law was accen-
tuated today by the formation OF a
vast organization of employers to be
known as the National Industrial Con-
ference Board. This new body, repre-
senting billion dollars capital and
employing million persons, proposes
that industrial legislation shall be
watched more closely, that legislators
shall be guided by public information
and that favoritism TO labor shall be
eliminated.
The Significance of the new align
ment' increased with receipt of Balti-
more dispatches saying the brother
hoods will join to force the 8-hour day
in all industries-not by legislation,
but by the force of organized labor.
1t will fight such measures as the
Adamson S-Hour Law. 1t believes that
the election showed there is no labor
vote, and hence legislators hereafter
need not curry favor with labor lead
ers, as they say has been done in the
past.

WHY SHE CAN oUTTALK YOU
Scientist Comes Forward With Asser-
ton That Women Need Less
Lung Power Than Men.

A woman can talk longer than g
man because she uses less force in
speaking than the man does. a Ger
man professor has proved by actual
and very delicate measurements that
the barytone singer uses far more
energy than the tenor and that the
bass singer uses more force than
either.
The range of voices differs greatly,
so the percentage varies to the same
extent, but as q general result it was
proved that the tenor uses only from
One-seventh to One-sixteenth OF the
lung power of the barytone or bass.
The difference between the force used
by the cOntralto and the soprano is
also marked, and the contraltO who
sings in very deep tones uses at
least ten times the force Of the thrill
ing soprano.
The explanation is so simple that it
is surprising that the investigation
was not made long ago. It has long
been known that the tenor or soprano
brings the vocal cords close together
and keeps the edges only vibrating by
the emission of air. The bass or con-
u d4lO ACdhCS NllE SpdGC DClheGu llAc
cords wider open and has to vibrate
very much more Of the membranes,
so that a considerably larger amount
Of air is required and much more
force is expended
Persons with high. squeaky voices
often seem to be very Ioquacious, and
the reason is now plain-they can talk
with far less effort than those who
take a deeper tone and have to use
more air to utter their words.
Here lies the real explanation Of the
ease with which a woman can outtalk
a man. She has the advantage OF US
ing from one-seTenth to one-sixteenth
less lung power and even though her
lungs may be smaller the difference
is never so great as that between the
amount Of air required

AMERICAN FARMER IS BEST
Secretary Houston Says He Produces
More Per Man Than ANY
Other Nationality.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The Ameri-
can farmer now leads the world, Sec
rotary Houston today told the Asso-
citation of American Agricultural Col
leges and Experiment Stations.
Already" said the Secretary, "the
American farmer is the most efficient
farmer in the world. He does not pro-
duce more per acre, but he does pro-
duce from two to three or four times
more per man, or per units Of labor
and capital, than the European farm
er. He is more alert, uses more and
better machinery and has more pow
erful agencies at mis- service than
farmers of any other nation. He now
masters his rivals in the field of COM
petition and will more and more easily
hold his own in the race for agricul-
tural supremacy"

Threatened Death to Americans,
Says Refugee.

Fl Paso, Tex, Nov. 16.-Francisco
Villa referred to Americans as white
Chinese" at Parral, when he entered
lowing its evacuation by Gen Luis
Herrera, a Mexican refugee from Par

In a speech to the people of Parral,
Villa said he intended to Kill all Chi

The Americans and other foreigners

The Americans announced before they
left that the party of foreigners,
which was in charge of Leslie Webb,
an employee of the Alvarado Mining
and Milling Company, was going to
the port of Culiacan, On the west coast
of Mexico, but the refugee doubts if
this was their real destination. He
thinks they are hiding in the noun
tains west of Parral.
When General Herrera evacuated
the town he took with him a large
quantities belonging to his brother,
Incarnation Herrera, who is a mer-
chant in Parral, which later were
abandoned at Santa Barbara, near
Parral, and captured by the Villa
troops, according to the refugees
statement.
Three trains arrived in Parral from
Jiminez with one thousand troops, and
another force arrived on horseback
from the direction of Pillar de Concho,
he said. Villa was in personal COM
