is increasing daily, the value of
the ore being high in silver.

mines company, is employing over
fifty men and increasing their
force as skilledllabor is obta,nable.
1t is expected that full ly three hun

by June l, and when connections
are made from the different levels

A deal of considerable impor.

we are requested not to mention

it surely will be, will mean much

bring under one management
about twenty mines, some OF

TUESDAY
WAR CLOUDS LOOMING
 ALONG MEXICAN BORDER

WASH, Dec. 2-The Mexican sit uation has developed still more serious phases today through the announced intention of the government to press the Mexican government still farther regarding the release of American con suar agent Jenkins.
 The State Department announced to- day the dispatch of another note to Mexico declaring it's belief that the charges of perjury brought by the Car ranza government against Jenkins are unfounded and reiterating the earlier demand that Jenkins be relea sed im- mediately.
 Secretary Lansing in announcing the dispatch of the note to Carranza said the department is convinced that the perjury charge is trumped up by CarranZa to evade the American de- mand for Jenkins release and the gov ernment will insist that the consular agent he granted his freedom.

cARRANZA CONCENTRATING
 TROOPS ALONG LOWER BORDER

Fl. i'ASO, Dec .2-Advices reaching the local military headquarters from various border points disclose that the Mexican government is concentrating troops along the border line, evidently in anticipation of an American inva- sion developing from the Jenkins affair
 The concentration of Carranzist troops is going on at all important stra- tegetical points with the largest mobi- lization at Ojinaga, opposite Presidio, Texas. Reports from Presidio say fully fifteen hundred additional rein forcements have been added to the local garrison during the past forty eight hours.
