SILVER MARKET FACTORS.
New York SUM


Expectation that the silver mines in
the United States will make a new
record in output in the current year Is
based upon the profitable prices at
which the white metal Is now being
marketed and the strength of the gen.
eral situation because of the low sup
plies in China and India, the rela-
lively small production in Mexico be-
cause of the political conditions and
the prospects that the current heavy
demand will run on for months. The
Indian currency reserves are well un-
der those of a year ago and as cur
rency issues are substantial greater
reason naturally exists for the belief
that government purchases Of silver
must continue in volume. Business
conditions in India are unusually pros
rerous and payments for labor are
heavy. Such payments are in silver
rupees, against which the government
must maintain large holdings of silver
metal to meet the paper money. The
London quotation on silver has ad-
vanced from 32H pence in the latter
part of October to SO pence at the
present time, which compares with
81 1-S pence last May when the price
was the highest in many years.

CUT FAMOUS OLD VEIN
NEAR SILVER CITY
FORMER WALLACE MAN HEAD
OF COMPANY-RlCH IN
FREE GOLD.

The following account of striking
Owyhee county, near Silver City, Is
taken from the Nampa correspondence
of the Boise Statesman. Local inter-
est attaches to the story on account of
the fact that Jacob Lockman, former
ly of this city, is president of the
company:
this city at an early hour Saturday
morning, brought from the Sinker
tunnel project news that the antici-
pated strike was made by the drillers
Thursday night, when the old Golden
Chariot vein, rich in free milling gold,
was cut y "a
This strike, made but few hours
later than calculated many days in
advance, has created no little excite
ment here among mining men and
holders of the $41,500 worth of stock
which at present represents ownership
of the valuable property.
Water conditions, which it had long
been feared might render the tunnel
practically useless, are reported as
highly favorable. Some water is now
draining out, but not in sufficient
quantity to interfere with the drifting
operations now in progress.
Vein Is Nine Feet Wide.
1.-THE big vein at the point where in
tersected has a width Of nine feet,
there being in the middle Of it what is
known to miners as granite horse,
It is expected that this intruding kid
ney will disappear as the vein is fol-
lowed and that the latter will narrow

in the Golden Chariot ranged in width
from 3H to 5H feet.
Mining men declare that the most
unusual feature of the strike Is the
fact that at a depth of 1000 feet free
milling gold, susceptible of being pan

ports that the vein pans throughout

BEACH WALK PLAN

The proposal for q concrete prone

laid before the finance committee o.

mittee Of the senate today by the boarC
of harbor commissioners, it was stateC
yesterday, following a short meeting OF
the board. @r ..' : 10 ..
The harbor commissioners will asl
that the Legislature include in the LOAF
fund appropriation bill an item OF
sos, 900 for the construction of the pro
posed promenade, and they will appear
before the committees of the two
houses to explain why, iii their opinion
the item should be included. -".r
A slight change has been made in tho
proposal as il now stands from tha'
James Wakefield. 1t is now propose,
that the beach walk shall omit the STRIP
along Kalakaua Avenue where that
thoroughfare crosses over the bridg,
along the ,seawal Eva of Kapiolan
Park. The reason fol, this change /
that it is anticipated some scheme will
be prepared for an amusement park o.
something of the kind there, and it
not thought wise to lay a walk at tina
point which might later have to b.
! torn up. - ..a. t... ...
The appropriation asked for does no
include funds for any dredging. Com
missioner Wakefield said yesterda,
that the board thought il better to lie
that part of the work wait until il wa
known more definitely just what woul'
be best to be done. ..rs ,ss.. o.
Great interest has been shown in tn
scheme by the'public generally, and tn
belief is freely expressed that the legis

more for the advantage of the commun

NAVAL RECRUITING
MAKING PROGRESS
Officers Of st. Louis Report Sat-
isfactory Response To
Daniels Call

According TO statements made by Of
icers of the 8. s. st. Louis recruiting
station, Honolulu has not been slow in
responding to the call Of Josephus Dan
iels, secretary of the navy. Since his
appeal for new recruits for the United
states navy was published few days
ago no fewer than twelve men have
joined the colors. Comparing the pop
ulation of Honolulu with that of New
York this number is equal to approx
mately 500 men in the latter city.
Any prospective applicants who de-
sire to secure further information on
the conditions of enlistment should
make application to the st. Louis ex'
ecutive officer ON board the cruiser
which is anchored at Navy Pier No. 2,
Allen Street.
The requirements demanded of those
who are anxious to Join were briefly
announced in statement by the execu.
tive officer Of the s. $. st. Louis, yes
terday. He said;
"The requirements for enlistment
are that applicants must be American
citizens by birth or naturalization /;
must be between the ages of Is and
81 (if under that age consent Of parent
or guardian necessary, and must be
able TO read, write and speak Eng.
lish. 's
'Hawaiians must have certificates
of birth in the Territory or present
satisfactory evidence that they were
born in the Islands.
UNLESS applicants are qualified in
any trade or are of seagoing profes,
sion we will ship them only as appren-
tice seamen, for transfer to San Fran.
cisco Goat Island Naval Training Sta.
tion) by the first available transport
for further training. The pay of ap.
prentice seamen Is 1890 a month
and found.
"We are particularly anxious to ship
echanies-electrieia or machinists-
who can by examination given on board
the ship show at least that they have
the fundamentals of their trade. With.
out seagoing experience such recruits
will receive $44 a month and found
With one years seagoing experience
the pay is 500 month.
IAN men enlisted are at once nc.
credited on their accounts with 500
clothing order. This amount is almost
always considerably in excess of what
is necessary for them to draw.
''Firemen is another class of recruit
we are anxious to obtain. Any appli
eants of 81 to 80 years of age, OF
robust physique, can be signed on as
fremen third class, at $24.20 a month
with chances for promotion to second
and first class. All applicants as fire
men do, not require training at the
naval station. This presents an excel
lent opportunity for men trained IN
coal trimming and stevedoring to joir

WAH|AWAPRO
PUZZLES OFFICERS
General Strong Thinks More Than
One Police officer Is
Needed There

The appalling condition Of "Blood.
town. wahiawa, continues despite
the fact that the question is continu'
ally being discussed with an object of
arriving at decision which win eff.
fectually abate the nuisance.
Brig Gen. Frederick s. Strong, com
handing the Hawaiian department,
Sheriff Rose, Captain of Detectives
MeDuffie, Charles Frazer, chairman of
the police committee of the grand jury
and =. p. Fogsrty, police commissioner,
met at the Office of A. M. Brown, city
attorney, yesterday afternoon to furth,
er consider the wahiawa proposition.
At the board of supervisors meeting
held Tuesday evening the sum Of $75
u month TO provide for the employment
of police officer TO improve the con.
ditions in that district was raised to
800 month, IL being stated that a
suitable man could not be secured for
the former sum. Yesterdays meeting,
however, was of the opinion that one
officer was insufficient to cope with, the
Wahiawa situation. g..
General Strong declared that the
conditions are so vile aud so pernicious
that il would be impossible for one
police officer to do much good, and he
strongly urged the authorities to take
further action. General Strong repeat.
ed his statement made at the meeting
of the Central Union Church Men Is
League that IL the civil authorities
would not act, he would be forced TO
make definite move to restore peace
and order in the Wahiawa district.
When the meeting finally terminated
no specific action had been taken, but
the meeting was strongly of the opin'
ion that immediate operation was ne
cessary. ...'a..
The condition at "Bloodtown is
bowling disgrace to any decent com.
munity, and it is probable that an.
other meeting will be called in the
near future when serious effort will
be made to reach some definite con
clusion which will result in a thorough
cleaning up of the district.

GERMANY DECIDES
!. NOT TO HOLD THE
OLYMPIC CONTEST
n Games Are Reestabllshed After
=" War She win Not Be
Represented

Germany has definitely abandoned all
idea Of holding the next Olympic
games, and If at the end of the war
they are ever reestablished as clear.
ing house of international sport Ger.
many will not be among the nations
represented in the competition.
SO far as Germany is concerned
there has been a decisive ending made
to international association and co.
operation in sport, and the German
Olympic committee has been disbanded
as such and reorganized as the Ger.
man imperial committee for physical
exercise, and has become OF is shortly
to become department of the Prus.
sian war department. ~.
Compulsory Physical Training
The committee, which was organized
several years before the war as the
German imperial committee for the
Olympic games and was making ar,
Engagements to hold the international
sport carnival in Berlin in 1916, will
in its new form have charge of the in.
PRODUCTION Of compulsory physical
training throughout the empire, for
nowhere as in Germany have the pos.
sibilities Of the we'll trained human
body been realized as vital factor in
the successful conduct of military op,
erations. t# rEs
Therefore the one.time Olympic com.
mittee, which was mi-patriotic and
wholly voluntary organization, receiv.
ing annually money gift from the
emperor for the furtherance of its
projects, has now become a cog in the
German military machine.
International Sport Dead
The committee held a general meet
ing recently in Berlin at the request Of
Emperor william, and after brief dis.
cussion agreed that international sport,
so far as Germany was concerned, was
dead, and would be dead for many
years to come. There was some feeling
that the adoption of such course in
the heat of the present conflict would
work out unwisely in the relations of
the fatherland with the neutral coun.
tries of Sweden, Denmark and Greece,
and that il would not tend TO make for
better relations with the United States
Nevertheless, the committee without q
dissenting voice took the stand that
Germany should shut itself off once and
Cor all from friendly intercourse on the
athletic field with all the nations of the
International Federation. =,
Good Work Undone T..
This action Of the German Olympic
committee undoes all the good work Of
Baron de Coubertin, who led the way
for the introduction of the presen'
Olympic cycle, who has asserted stead
lastly, since the beginning Of the war
that when peace was declared all thu
countries would join in a heroic effor
to hold the Olympic games at the mos
convenient date at the stadium erecte,
in Berlin just before the war began. HI
has spurned all suggestions that al
rangements to hold the games in neu
trail country be made, saying that tn
4 games, above all other things, woult
tend to heal the wounds in interna
tional relationships caused by the wa
and that it would make men forget tina
they had been enemies on the battle
field.
