COLORADO GUARD MAY DROP
ARMS BUT NOT DISBAND

Washington, Jan. 22.-Saturday's an
nOuncement that considerable num-
ber,' of the National Guardsmen serv-
ing along the Mexican border are to be
withdrawn was accepted in military
circles as an indication that the with
drawal of Pershing's force would not
be long delayed. 1t has been under
stood that as quickly as border sta
tions are evacuated by state troops,
regulars will move up to occupy them.
but tonight it was said authoritatively
that no order to bring the regulars
north had been issued.
It is the policy of the department
not to permit disintegration of the
national guard organizations, and the
intention is to hold every man in SER
vice, though not under arms, regardless
Of the fact that his duty on the border
has ended. zrf applfcations FOR DIS:
charging except for cause will be re-
fused, and designations of officers will
be carefully examined and accepted
only when the department is satisfied
with the reasons given. 1t was pointed
out that acceptance of many of the
designations already offered was more
or less in the nature of a wedding ouS
process.
This policy of maintaining intact the
strength of the national guard is taken
as further indication of what will be
the administration s future policy in
dealing with Mexico. This policy, 1T
has been indicated, contemplated deal
ing with the de facto government on a
strictly formal basis, rather than on al
altrusic one. Thus, it is understood.
the activities of Villa and the question
of who occupies the territory Pershins
is about to leave will be regarded hera
as problems for Carranza to tackle.
Army officers do not believe that the
withdrawal of the Pershing force can
be accomplished in much less than
three weeks after the order is issued.
Previous troop movements of the mag
nitude of that of the guardsmen to be
ordered home have required two weeks.
The Mexican Northwestern railway,
south from Juarex, would facilitate the
withdrawal, but it has been indicated
that no request for its use will be made
by the United States and that no offer
of it by the Mexican government is
expected.

freaS effects common to all explosions,
such'Sas a rickety cottage escaping,
even 10 its windows, while adjacent
substa ntial buildings were razed; of
people nearby escaping unhurt or with
only slight injuries while others at a
distance were killed.
The destruction of the gas tank is
described as having afforded an amazing
spectacle The tank did not explode
but its top was lifted off like a box
lid and the eight million cubic feet of
illuminating gas were liberated. Ignit-
ing, a column of flame rose to height
estimated at two miles, burned for a
few seconds and then went out with the
suddenness of the switching off of an
electric Light. Several other gas tanks
nearby are still intact.

HUNDREDS KILLED IN
MUNITION EXPLOSION

London, Jan. 22.-Throughout Sunday
thousands of persons flocked to East
London, hoping to satisfy their curl
osity as y the effect of Fridays ex-
plosion in the munition factory there.
None Of them, however, were able TO
obtain a near view of the scene owing
to rigid police regulations and could
only wander through the outlying
streets, where most of the windows
were shattered by the concussion.
The newspaper reporters who were
allowed to approach nearer the scene
dscribed what was formerly the site Of
the explosive store as hole hundred
yards across and eighty feet deep with
masses Of earth, iron and all sorts Of
wreckage covering an area of about six
acres around the hole. Within that
area the destruction was absolute.

IMPENDING WAR CASTS SHADOW
OVER THE UNITED STATES
NEVADA DOUGLAS
MAKING COPPER

The Nevada Douglas Consolidated
Copper Company is shipping to the
smelter an average of about three
carloads of ore day. The ore car
ries sufficient metal to yield smelter
returns of approximately $100,0000C
per month after deducting the cost
OF freight and treatment charges. On
account of the fact that some of the
miners employed are doing develop
on narrow stringers OF high grade
ore and others on larger bodies
coupled with the fact that consider
able number are required to sort ores
to hold the grades SO that it can be
shipped with profit, it is difficult to
determine exactly the cost of mining
However, considering the fact that
the monthly pay roll at the mine aver
ages about $40,00000, the net profit
to the company is in the neighbor-
hood of $60oO000 on the ore sh pped.
shipped.
The output of the teaching plant is
being forced upward to its capacity OF
$50 tons per day Careful estimates
justify the statement that the ore
treated at the teaching plant will av-
erage per cent copper or 90 pounds
to the ton. With the estimated loss
OF ten per cent in treatment, this
reduces the production of 81 pounds
OF metal to the ton. The cost OF
treatment is about six cents per
pound Treatment of $50 tons per
day means the extraction of 49, 500
pounds of copper each day from the
plant. AT net price of Is cents per
pound the resulting income will
amount to S3,375 per day, or Sl,2l5,0Oo
per year.
The Nevada Douglas Company owns
about SO per cent of the stock of the
Nevada Copper Belt Railroad, which
is n earning a net income of about
SIPS. 100000 per year, after paying all
expenses and allowing for interest
upkeap and depreciation. AS there
is every reason to believe that condi-
tions will continue as they are now
and the demand for metal will be
active for at least another year, it is
not at all improbable that the income
of the Nevada Douglas company for
the current year will reach close to
$20O0,0O0OO.
