MURDERER R OF CANADIAN
 SOLDIER REFUSED TRIAL

The supreme court this week hand ed down its decision refusing new trial in the appeal of Nichan Martin who was convicted in the Yavapai county court for the murder of Ar thur D. Stuender, a Canadian overseas veteran, the crime taking place near Nelson about two years ago. Stuen- der and Martin were driving across country and it is believed that they became. involved in a quarrel over the division of the spells of a robbery and Martin shot his companion and thsn tried to destroy the body on big wood fire. He was evidently scared away before accomplishing his pur- pose and sheepherders found the body and notified the officers. Martin was arrested in Modesto, California, and brought back to Prescott and there tried and convicted, getting a life sen- tence. The money that Martin killed his companion for was found in the dead mans leggings.
 It was owing to the activity of Mo- have county officers that the arrest of Martin was made.

Our previous estimates of 1921 pro. duction in this country, 36 to 40 mil lion ounces, compared with 56 million ounces last year, is subject to reduc- tions on the basis of the closing ot properties in the Tonopah Divide dis tricts. Estimates of 1921 world out put, 22,000,000 ounces, are in keeping with developments during the past ten days. ...
 Senator Nicholson of Colorado esti- mates silver production in this coun- try this year at mot to exceed 30,00O,- 900 ozs.". > / The London market on foreign orig in silver holds around 34 3-4 pence, London, and 61 3-4 cents, New York.
 India continues to absorb silver in large volume. Shipments from Lon don to Bombay are abount 100000 ozs. weekly. China appears as both buyer and seller. Silver stocks. at Shanghai are again higher at about 45, 100000 ozs. Sycee 38,000,000 dol lars and 230 silver bars. It should be remembered that the Chinese banks are now operating on much larger scale and are less dependent upon out side banking support. Silver held by these banks are necessarily much larger and comparisons with pre-war years are hardly representative of ac- tual conditions.
 The Russian Soviet Government has authorized the coinage of silver. This movement will probably influence gold exports since the procedure of selling gold and re-purchasing silver is becoming popular in Eastern Europe, the Near and Far East.
 Exports from this country to India in March amounted to>$7, ,S63, ,573, conn pared with $9,926,O00 in March of last year. Total for nine months is ESQ., 163,000, against S54,445,000 in the corresponding period of 1920. Ex- ports of automobiles in the past three months totalled nearly $500, ,000. Iron tanks and steel exports were $1,976,- GOO. # "

CONCERN NI0ND0N OVER MEXICO'S SILVER

The Government secured 814,00C ounces of American origin silver at $1 net an ounce for the first four days of May. Total in April was 2,190, 0,197 ozs. Total purchased this year to May 4 is 20,273,197 ozs. Combined total is 50,181, ,197 ozs., leaving a bal ance of 157,818,903 ozs. to be secured under the Pittman repurchase order.
 London bullion brokers appear to be greatly concerned over Mexican re- ports of greatly reduced silver pro- duction. The stereotyped bear argu- ment in that center is that yearly Mexican silver output will be more than S0,000,000 ozs. Montagu & Go. remark that i've are inclined to be- lieve, from reliable information which has reached us elsewhere, that it would be unwise to consider that the Mexican production is really on the down grade, notwithstanding that cer- tain mines are closed"
 If these bullion brokers were as near to Mexico as either New York or Texas they might realize-even against their desires-that production in that country this year will be near CT 40,00O, ,000 rather than the 78,000,- 900 ozs. which they apparently wish the public to regard as the indicated production.
 Fairly reliable authorities have es- timated Mexican output at 10000, 900 ozs to 25,0O0, 900 ozs. Actual yearly production for the past three years has been 6Z, 66 and 62 million ounces. In 1917 out was 100000 ozs.
 It is reported tht the Mexican gov ernment intends to place an embargo on silver exports. hi ssmbargo would only apply where silver is sold under 80 cents an ounce. So far this year Mexico has received from this country $1, 1,09S, ,340, silver, and $S,160,- 887 gold. This almost entirely rep resents gold and silver coins. @
 Total silver export 8, Jan. to Apr. 20, amount to $16, ,604, ,768 and imports 315,733,796. Total to the Far East Is 9,197, ,497, about 1S,UVUVCV ounces. Totl gold receipts from China and In- dia are $24,471, ,057 and combined from all of Asia $31, ,431 ,499. --'...
 Mexican silver imports for the lat est To-day period (April 1 ot 20) re- ported by the Federal Reserve are at the rate of 37,000,OO ozs. yearly
 The same authorities commenting upon the rather sensational item of 5000, ,O0O, 900 silver as reserve of the British Treasury (for the first time in more than 300 years) remark that ~.this seems to indicate the use to which some surplus silver coin, ob-, tainable from recoinage at the new quality of 500 fine, has been applied" The application" appears to be rec ognition of bi-metalism, even though it has been reached through the Lloyd George hastardized silver currency which the British government appar- ently did not have the courage to place in circulation. aE., .-7y-. x,

John A.

The Senior Curling Party

The seniors held their curling party
Wednesday night OF last week as an
nounced in our issue Of Thursday last.
The affair was held at the home OF
Miss Beatrice Whittemore on the NAL
bons Mills road and secret approach
was made by various directions. Some
of the students walked up as far as
Lessons store and went thru the
woods. Others we're conveyed by au-
tomobile. Some even attended the
concert to throw the watchful juniors
off the scent. The juniors, however,
were suspicious that the time honored
custom of the seniors was on and they
got cars, picked up their forces and
began a search. One car went to
Norridgewock, one to East Madison,
one nearly to Madison village, one to
Canaan and one part to Waterville AS
one party of searchers went up Neil
hill signals were given at the Patten
home to detain them and make them
believe that the seniors were there.
This car was driven back to get the
other cars carrying the juniors but
one party of searchers in the mean
time had located the seniors at the
Whittemore farm. The entire class of
juniors then proceeded to the curling
party reaching there about 1.3O. They
serenaded the upper classmen glori-
ously until $50 cutting up various
pranks. 1t Is even said that one OF
the senior men was held up by sew
eral junior girls behind the garage
for a long time, and that three Of the
juniors got their hair clipped instead
of curled. The teachers were seren-
AIDED by the juniors before the SEN
iors arrived in town in a hay rack
about 5 O'Clock. Thursday there was
the usual street parade Of the seniors
in costume, pictures were taken at the
HUFF studio and the customary visit
to the high school building was made
This class had previously given the
school a duplicating machine as a

season. He made four high plays and
the first time at the bat knocked out

 It was q convention with a single mind. The HOO delegates met in tho spirit of good fellowship. and no one who watched the hosts of ex soldiers and sailors marching. mingling in hotel corridors. debating on the con- vention floor or exchanging reminisc- ences could have failed to understa nd that they were bound together by ties which would be lasting. They had the spirit of team work which was so hief,ly developed in America's sreat civilian Army. and even when spirited debates developed over differences of opinion on the convention floor-on ways and means rather than on pc,' cies-the most ardent objectors yield ed to the will of the majority. and the convention passes on to the future his tory of harmony
 Those who attended saw reflected ill the convention assembled on the floor of the Cleveland Hippodtome the same spirit which was so cfi,l,c- terastir of the American armed forces, a spirit which was thoroughly az Sressive and businesslike. yet csapa = ble on occa sions of turning to joyous abandon. as when some volubl. del- cs.'te stiI+ed it's amusement. just as the American A.
