VILLA CAPTURES 0J|NAC0 AFTER
 2 HOUR BATTLE

Preside, Texas, 15.-Francisco V1l- las forces are today in possession of the Mexican town of Ojinaga, having captured it last night after a two hour battle with the Mexican federal troops, who finally fled to the American side the Rio Grande and surrendered to the United States troops under Capt. Barnes.
 Gen. Juan Espinazo Cordova, who was in command of the federal troops, said the fighting was hand to hand in the streets of Ojinaga and that many on both sides were killed.
 The Mexican troops, who were in- termed in the Presidio army camp, numbered 300. The rest of the Ojina- ga garrison, estimated at 200, are sup posed to have been killed or captured.
 Villa troops under command of Mar tin Lopez are said to have numbered close to 1000.
 Wholesale executions were expected to take place today, when the Villa commanders will wreak vengeance on the enemy prisoners.
 It was just four years ago that Villa took Ojinaga by assault from the Huerta federals.
 Gen. Cordova wept as he surrender ed his silver mounted sword and pis- to1 to Capt. Barnes and the spirits of the entire Mexican command were broken.
 One of two Americans who .operat- ed machine guns for the federals was killed in the battle. The other Amer ican disappeared and it is believed that he escaped across the river.
 Fl Paso, Texas, Nov. 15.-Telegrams received here today say that Martin Lopez, Villas chief lieutenant, was executed by Villa for failure to obey orders and push the first. attack on Ojinaga yesterday morning.

was 40 tons and the average metallic
content was 60 per cent lead and
%. ounces of silver to the ton. The
crude ore contained So TO 70 per

cent lead. Total shipments to date
number 173 carloads.
1.-The concentrates were produced
from ore containing 10 to Is per cent
lead and five ounces of silver to

body opened above the No. 4 level
for 1000 feet in length and for other
distances on levels above. The mar

more than two years on basis
Of 200 tons a day.
Cooperation of the con entrator
has been reduced to seven or eight
hours a day and the production 10
little less than two carloads OF
concentrates weekly. This results
from lack of power due to the

spring.
Preparation against a recurrence
of this situation will be made through
change in the power equipm mt
The pipe line will be extended back
1000 to 5000 feet and the power
plant will be moved farther down
the stream.
"The pressure will be increased tC
APO feet from $50 feet and an i'm
pulse wheel will be substituted fol
the turbine. The change, which will
be made in the spring or summer
will cost $4,000 to $4,000 and will
provide sufficient power at the low
est stage of the water.
"The shrinkage system of mining
is used. Not a stick of timber il
used in the slopes. This is made
possible by the solidity of the grounC
and it's freedom from slips or faults
Employment has been given tt
200 to 240 men throughout the sum
