his visit to young Dunn at the lat

captain himself had suggested.

and forgetfulness Of the unpleasant
life he was leading in helping the
stricken Moriarty family. Annie, the
maid at the apartment, he swore to
secrecy. She must not tell Miss Caro-

understand why, promised silence. Car.

Twelve cars of ore with content of
between 375 and 400 tons were mined
and shipped from the Forest Queen
mine on the eastern slope of Ironclad
hill, by Edwin Gaylord, lessee, during
the month of September.
The October production of the Unit
ed Gold Mines Company is placed at
$3.50 tons, worth close to $4,000
The Trail mine on the southern slope
of Bull hill, with three sets of lessees
active and producing, was again the
heaviest producer with total OF sixty
seven cars.
Ore running IS high as twenty-five
ounces gold, $500 to the ton, has been
encountered on the Henley vein, be-
tween the third and fourth levels of
the main shaft of the Elkton Consol-
idated Mining and Milling Company,
on Raven hill.
Tie high cost of cyanide since the
German supply was shut off in 1914
is one of the factors in the present
excessive overhead charges in mining
for gold. But after the first of the
year some relief is expected from the
recently developed American supply,
which will probably receive protection
In future tariffs.
In Telluride district, which is noted
for steady output, the Belmont-Wag-
ner Mining Company is doing a lot of
work which looks like expansion. The
office has been enlarged to double its
ground space and made into two
story building, the mill boarding
house has been enlarged and one of
the latest type bunk houses put up.
In Ouray district, the cutting by the
Camp Bird tunnel of rich vein that
runs through a claim owned by the
Camp Bird, and which endlines with
claim called Imogene, recalls that
the latter was once controlled by
Andy Richardson, who named it af-
ter his wife over forty years ago and
which led to the district being known
since ~ Imogene. basin.

With the Anglo Forces on the Va

Associated Press. Gen. Sir Henry
Rawlinson, commanding the British
Fourth army, with which an Amerl-
car division is operating. has sent to
the general commanding the division,
comprising troops from Tennessee
and the Carolinas, the following tele-
gram:
con this occasion I desire to convey

on your victory. The gallantry OF
your infantry and the precision WITH
which the staff arrangements worked
fill me with admiration and 1t has
given me great pleasure to report
your unqualified success to Field Mar
shal Sir Douglas Haig.

North Carolina and South Carolina

|,one dominated by the German mill
|lInsts:
!, Quoting. his Mount Vernon speech
Of Ju1y.4, the president reminds Ger
many that his terms call for the
destruction of every arbitrary power
anywhere, that can secretly and OF It's
single choice disturb the peace o.:
world; Or if 1t can not be presently
destroyed at least its reduction to
virtual impotency."
Here then follows the words which
proclaim with fina1ity that the auto
cratic government Of Germany must
go and plainly invites the German
people to make the change which W
bring them peace.
eThe power which hitherto has
controlled the German nation says
the presidents reply, is of the sort
f.ere described" It is within the
ctoice of the German people to alter
it. The presidents words just quot
ed naturally constitute condition
precedent to peace, if peace is to come
Dy the action of the German peopls
themselves The president feels
bound to say that the whole process
of peace will, in his judgment, de-
pend upon the definiteness and tn.
satisfactory character Of the guaran-
tees which can be given in this fun
damental matter. 1t is indispensable bi
that the governments associated
against Germany should know be-
yond peradventure with whom they
4re dealing.
This pronouncement, the presidents
friends say, fulfills the predictions
those who declared that when he
asked Prince Maximilian if he merely
represented the military leaders who
had been conducting the war, he was
laying the foundation to show that
the new government of Germany is
no less autocratic than the others ano
for a final statement to the German
people themselves that nothing but
sheir autocratic government stands
between them and the peace which
they so fervently desire. This the
presidents friends say has been tn
whole theory OF his diplomacy.
When the president decided to say
that if an ar1nistice should be
thought of it could not be considered
without imposing terms to guaran-
tee the good faith of Germany ane
provide for the maintenance OF the
military supremacy of the armies OF
the United States and the entente al
lies, he undoubtedly knew that the III,
lied war council acting on the rec
oramendation of Marshal Foch had
decided upon necessary guarantees.
These now arc understood to include
the occupation Of Metz and Stras-
burg and Coblenz, the strategic keys
to- Germany.
The next move in the great inter
national drama is now expected e
take place in Germany While the
armies of the cobelligerents thunda'
at her gates Diplomatists are agreed
tlrat what must come from Germany
now is action. not words. She may
offer to comply with the terms ana
give up the guarantees which would
permit an armistice. From that point
the disposition IF the autocracy might
H., considered in connection with the
.erms of peace Otherwise the opin-
ion is unanimous thai the victorious

One of the American troopers on
board the Otranto pictured the scene
when the vessels collided. Soldiers
lined the decks as though on parade
and at the word of command stood
at attention like statues. They never

formation, exemplifying during the
