JAP SHIP OWNERS
HAVE BIG BILL
AGAINST ENEMY

TOXIC. Jan. 27.-Japanese ship
owners whose ships We're sunk by
the Germans are considering the ques-
ton of compensation to be exacted
from Germany. Representatives of
several of the largest concerns held a
meeting at the Kobe Chamber of
Commerce recently to discuss this
question According to statements
made at the meeting, 50 japanese
ships were lost tOtaling 132,3S4 tons.
A committee of three owners was
chosen at the meeting to determine
the cost of the ships, the amount of
money they would have earned had
they not been destroyed. the total of
the relief funds paid out to the fam
lilies of the ships lost crews and the
like. 1t is roughly estimated that the
amount of compensation to be de-
manded from Germany will be about
500, 600, 900. Mr.. Tamenosuke Ishi-
bashi of the Suzuki Snoten, Kobe, has
arrived in Toxic to take the matter
up with the department of communi-
cations.

COALITION AGAINST
PRUSSIA GROWING

TAYLOR. JAN. 27.-The struggle
between Prussia and Bavaria for
leadership of the new German repub-
lie is growing in scope andintensity:
Dispatches received today indicate
that as soons as representatives of the
German states went into conference
yesterday to prepare a constitution to
submit to the national assembly, Ba-
varian ministers attempted to form a
coalition against Prussia.
The Bavarians apparently already
have succeeded in lining up Baden,
Wurttemberg, Hesse. Anhalt and other
duchies and are demanding independ-
ence from Prussia. The chance of
Berlin becoming the capital of the new
republic also appears to be waning.
Sporadic Spartacan demonstrations
still continue.

O|L R|G AT HUT
 SPRINGS FIELD

HOT SPRINGS, N. M, Dec 20.- The rig for the drilling of the Home company oil well, in the south edge of town, is on the ground and drilling will start in very few days, as the well is already cased down 25 feet. The people here feel very jubilant over the outlook, as this site has been very favorably reported on for oil at shallow depth by several well known geologists.
 Hot Springs has been favored with almost summer weather so far this winter and the baths have been heavi- ly taxed with visitors, but this crowd ed condition will soon be relaxed, as the large new concrete bath house at the James apartments will soon be open to the public.
 The well being drilled at the new Nineplunge city bath is now down Az feet and the drillers expect to strike the hot water pressure in the next 20 feet When this bath is open to the public it will relieve to a great extent the crowded conditions now prevailing.

WICHITA FALLS, Tex, Dec. 20- In spite of much bad weather in this district S7 completions were made in the Waggoner pool in the past week. Pipe line runs for this time show a large decrease. Burkburnetts aver age daily production was S5,O00 bar rels, which was 4O00 barrels less than the previous week.
 The Red Revier bed section has no new compilations. The General Oil company's Sparks we'll has not been turned loose. Though pipe line con nections are completed, weather con ditions account for shutting down wells in that section. On account of the high water the Nacogdoches Ofl company has lost it's well. The rig was nearly washed away. The loca- tion is temporarily abandoned.

F CONPANI
 HAVE LESSENED
 COPPER OUTPUT

As yet there has been no concerted action on the part of the large cop- per producers looking toward any de- crease in production, as a means of combating the rapidly increasing sur plus of the red metal in this country.
 Individually. however, judging from the November output figures of a number of the large producena, it will be some months before the large outputs recorded in October are again reached. In that menth a number or the companies turned out more cop per than in any month since the early part of the year. November produc- tion results, however, tell a different story, and indicate by the decreased outputs as compared with October that the majority of the producers are slowing down somewhat on their production.
 Anaconda, Cerro de Pasco, Greene, Miami, Old Dominion and United Yer de Extension in November turned out less copper than in October But two companies that have reported their November production results, showed an increase that month over October. They were Calumet & Ari- zona and New Cornelia, both operat- ed by the same interests. For De- cember those companies are expected to show smaller production that last month.
 Miami last month produced 1,059,- 900 pounds less copper than in Octo- Der. United Verde Extension show ed a decrease of 1,472,000 pounds, Anaconda SS0,000 pounds, Cerro de Pasco 900.000 pounds, Greene 100000 pounds, and Old Dominion 104,O0O pounds. Anaconda's production this month will show material decrease from November, due to the closing down of it's smelters on account Of the coal shortage. As North Butte's ore is smelted by Anaconda, that company also will show substan- tiai decrease as compared with No vember. A director of North Butte says: "A decreased output this month will be a good thing"
 So far this month twelve promin- ent producers have announced their November production. figures. The combined output of those producers last month was 67,300.779 pounds,

Operators Hope to

AMARILLO, Texas, Dec. 20.-Oper- ators still say oil will be found in the Amarillo field. All over Potter coun- ty oil test wells are drilling Some of the worlds largest gassers are in this district, but as yet there is not one oil well.
 Operators are turning their atten- ton to the North Plains country or Lipscomb and Hemphill counties. These counties are considered a sure bet A number of Oklahoma com panies are in the field. The Canadian Star Oil and Gas company has under lease SO,000 acres in this district and is arranging to drill five wells on its holdings as soon as materials and machinery can be secured.
 Acreage throughout this district is increasing in price.
