SEES NEW ALLIANCES
GERMAN SAYS JAPAN AND RUS
STA WILL AID KAISER.
Or. Heckscher Declares American
Conflict VIII Force Nations to
Desert Allies.

Berlin, March 12.-In forecast OF
the worlds political situation after
the war, DIR. Slegfriel Heckscher, a
member of the foreign relations COM
mlttee of the reichstag, declared that
President Wilson's ''war policies
would cause the formation of two
groups of world powers Which would
last for decades,
"HOw would the future political
map of the world look If the United
States entered the WARP" Doctor Heck
scher was asked. He replied:
1T is my unsnaGen conviction that
new constellation Of nations would
automatically result.
Personal sympathies and antipa-
thies would count for nothing. 1t Is
wholly immaterial whether we lean
toward Japan or Japan toward us.
Japan's life interests demand, in spite
of all her solemn declarations, that
she draw nearer Germany, for with
permanent enmity toward Germany
she cannot counteract the menace OF
the Anglo-American coalition.
I'VE Germans can calmly look on.
| Japan must find path that leads to
us, and whatever is left in Germany
Of common interest in the white race
will disappear like chaff before the
wind with America in the war against
us.
"From Wilson'S war policies we shall
have an Anglo-American group. OPP
posing il will be German-Russo-Jap-
anese coalition, which, by the way
will not be imical to the life interests
of our central and eastern European
! allies.
| g especially emphasize fiat Rus
sias dream of conquered Constantine
pie, without conquest, will have been
realized with the Dardanelles pro
claimed q free waterway.
"With the Dadanelles open, the IT.
reconciliablc contrast between Rus
STA ahd English interests will stand
out more boldly.
"With Engand's mastery cunning
in converting the Mediterranean int
an inland sea in the future instead 81
facing the problem of the Dardanelles
Russia will find herself confronted
with the question Of Gibraltar. >
"The seed sown By President Wilson
will not ripen today, nor tomorrow
| It will spring into maturity when tli'
historical exposition of the American
and Japanese Monroe doctrines vii
occur on the high seas and the bat
tlefields.'"

productive as the main property.
Sinking of the main Typo shaft
from the 400 level will commence
during the month and will be con-
tinued until the SOO-foot level IS
reached. The management predicts
a production of So, OOO, 900 for every
100 feet below the 400 level. In
spection of the mine is open to all
visitors, and engineers from Tono-
pah, Goldfield and Manhattan are
constantly arriving in Typo to note
new developments.
The Louisiana Consolidated has
purchased the Pearl and Zenda mines
in Kern County, California. and ac-
tive operations under the Louisiana
management will commence there
during the month. This property is
a large low-grade silver-gold deposit
which is worked on the open cut
system. The company estimates that
there are 300, 900 tons of ore in sight
having a value of $3.50 to the ton,
and also estimates that reasonable
expenditure and development will
prove 1000. 900 tons of ore. The
present mill will be enlarged to ca
pacity of 100 tons daily, and will af-
forwards be gradually enlarged to a
daily capacity of $50 tons as develop
ment proceeds. The management
figures that total costs of mining and
milling at this property will not ex-
coed $500 per ton.
1t is the policy of the Louisiana
Consolidated Mining Company to
purchase and develop silver-produc-
ing mines. believing that silver will
gradually advance to at least $1.OC
per ounce; and also believing that
| silver is the one metal which will con-
| tinue to advance after the conclusion
of the war.
Mr.. Julius Seigbert. of New York.
vice-president and director of the
Louisiana company. is expected here
this month to make an inspection Of
the Typo and Zenda mines. Messrs
Leslie McCurdy and Thos. Roberts
