America which may seriously affect what
 hitherto have been the pre-eminent rela- tions of Great Britain to that republic. COPPER MINING IN NORTHWEST | Reliable information reached New York this morning respecting very favorable
 mining conditions in the northwest. John H. Rich, federal reserve agent of the Ninth district, made the report which has reached this city. The mining conditions in the northwest are perhaps more eavor-
 able than ever before. There is intense activity in the copper regions of Michigan, and also in the Butte district of Montana. Production is carried on in record-mak- ing amounts. If this be an iron and steel era it is also recognized as a copper era, and the mines of the northwest, in fact, of Alaska and the states of the Rocky mountain and Pacific slope region, are by this industry increasing enormously the wealth of the United States, although about 30 years ago they were producing little or no copper.
 ON ta'one in copper mining of the north west is activity very great for relatively
 the iron industry matches the copper ac- tvities. However well the northern Mich igan iron mines do this year, the probabil-
 ities are now strong that the iron ranges oe northern Minnesota will make new rec ords and very large records, in 1916.

Won T|RP|Tz WANTS
WAR WITH AMERICA

Washington, Aug. 25.-Admiral Won
Tirpitz, who advocates unrestricted
submarine warfare on merchantmen,
has issued a manifesto demanding war
with the United States.
Information to this effect has been
received by the state department and
has caused considerable concern to
the officials. Won Tirpitz insists in
his statement that Germany is han
dIcapped in the prosecution of her life
and death struggle by the limitations
imposed upon submarine operations
by the German government, at the in
stance of the United States.
He argues that this country, in any
case, is hostile to Germany and that
the time has gone by to consider it's
wishes. He believes should the Unit
ed States enter the war on the side of
to the German cause thar it already
has done.
The text of Won Tirpitz' memoran-
dun was published by the Berlin
newspapers. The foreign correspond
ents were rot permitted to transmit it
to their papers.
AS a consequence only the neutral
diplomats have been able to forward
it by cipher messages and in their Off
cial mail pouches.
