NEUTRALS MUST
YIELD. OR FIGHT
Germans Reported Attitude
On Code Messages Forces
"Show Down.

Washington, Sept. 18.-If the atti-
tude of the German government il
correctly represented in the Stockholm
newspaper, which says that Berlin
veal the contents of a code MESA gt
submitted for transmission by the
Swedish government, an issue has
been raised between Germany anu the
neutrals, which, in the opinion of of
ficials here, can eventuate only dc
cisive "show down.
Representative of this government
find it inconceivable that any of /,
neutrals-at least any of them tha
wish to retain the friendship of the
Entente-ever again would consent
transmit messages for German diplo-
mats without knowing every wore
submitted. Having full knowledge o
the manner in which such privileges
arc abused by the Germans a neutra
government Immediately would invite
the suspicion Of deliberate friendll
ness to the Imperial government if i
did not insist upon a translation
the code, according to the viewpoin
in Washington.
1t is believed that the only effec
of Germany's instructions to the envos
will be to bring forth definite, if n.
| Indignant. refusalss from the neut>.-
governments. Germany will thus b,
shut completely from the secre
sources Of information to which sh,
frequently has had recourse in tn,
past.
! Sweden, for the sins of her Baro1
Lowen and whoever else assisted il
facilitating the transmission of tn
Luxburg "spurlos versenkt'' messages
is finding it virtually impossible to ge
the use of the cables now 1t may b
said that other neutrals will discove
themselves in much the same situa
ton if they are disposed to help Ger
many to the injury of the Entente
Allied diplomats here frankly sa
lit is going to be increasingly dif1icul
for neutral governments to extend al
to the Central Powers in way of food
stuffs and information without them
selves being blacklisted by the Allie:

Colorado,

The past winter mining has been
good in and around Georgetown.
The March record for coal was
good one in the state of Colorado.
The mill of the Lord Byron prop
erty, in Boulder county, has resumed
operations on tungsten ore.
Pitkin, Gunnison county, reports an
other strike has been made in the
Bowerman district.
Frank Galley, lessee on the Jerry
Johnson mine, Cripple Creek, was
shipping again from that Ironclad hill
property.
The revival of old mines is prom

small capitalist has Z chance as we'll

The boom in the oil industry con-
tinues to increase rather than dimin-
ish, with Wyoming in the spot light,
and the other fields coming in strong
on the chorus.
Colorado's production of gold, silver
copper, lead and zinc for 1915 was
$44,060.521.70. according to the bien-
nial report of the State Bureau Of
Mines. This is an increase of 80 per
cent over 1914. The production for
1916 was $49,0OO.00O, according to the
report.

WOMEN NEVER CAN SEE JOKE
This Was Browns Conclusion After He
Had Recounted One That Had
Been Told to Him.

Brown met Johnson the other morn
ing hurrying along the street. The
latter had a parcel under his arm, and
Brown, always inQuisitive, wanted to
know what 1t contained.
"Well," said Johnson, "if you must
know, I've just bought pair of CATERS
very nice ones, too"
"Where at?" asked Brown.
"Oh, l don't know the name, but
It's little shop just down that alley
across there" said johnson.
"Ha-ha! laughed Brown, who al
ways liked his little joke, then they
must be alley-gaiters."
This so tickled johnson that he
made up his mind that he must tell
that to his wife, SO, on reaching home,
he burst into the room, and laughed
until his wife thought he would never
stop.
She could not make out what on
earth was the Joke, so johnson started
to tell her.
"Ha-ha, he-he! Oh, lor, such joke
just met Brown, and he asked me
what I'd got in my parcel.
81 told him I'd bought new pair of
leggings, but didn't know the name Of
the shop, but 1t was just down the
court.
HE Immediately made n good Joke
out of 1t. He said, Good! Then
you've got two crocodiles! WhatI
You can't see 1t? Well, I'm blest |"
said he, us his wife maintained a Sc
rious expression. "That's just the
worst of women. They can't see q

Arizona.

The United Eastern mine at Oatman
in March earned $500 per day.
There is increased activity at all
the mines in the Salome district.
The San Juan mines in Graham
county are being actively worked.
There has been a pretty good dis
covery of oil in the Chin Valley Com
pany's well near jerome.
Development work continues very
steadily at the Navajo mine and the
ore piles have grown substantially.
1t has been announced that active
development work is to be begun at
the Relief properties in the Granite
Wash section.
The famous old Mossback mine at
Chloride is to be unwatered and sam
pied by representatives of a syndicate
that is prepared to take it over and de-
velop it.
Hard to see how such high prices of
copper are maintained, when the pro-
duction is so enormous. Calumet &
Arizona's production for April was
100000 pounds of blister copper.

Mine Output over 50, ,ooo. 900.

Colorado's mineral output for 1915
was worth $44.O60.521.70. an increase
OF almost 30T over the figures for
1914, according to the biennial report
of the State Bureau of Mines just is
sued by Commissioner Fred Carroll.
While the enormous gain may be ex-
planned partly by the higher prices of
metals on the market in 1915. the re-
port also shows that 10000 more tons
of metals were mined in Colorado that
year than in 1914. The total produc-
ton Of minerals in 1916 was $4,000
900. an increase Of only 1870 over
1915. which really represented fall
ing off in tonnage, made up for by
slightly higher market prices than In
