 The reports enumerate the many phases Of the years trials. It was a period of very unsatisfactory opera tons. owing to unsettled labor con ditions. eXcrbitant cost of materials and the disheartening and made quate prices fixed by the market for copper. as we'll as the scarcity of or ders from consumers, all Of which rendered our work -aggravating and done at heavy loss.
 We think it suicidal for any. com mercia, operations to- be carried on when nothing but loss confronts us and therefore, on October 29, 1920 your board decided to discontinue all production at the property for the present.
 Should Cease Production
 Owners of copper. iron and lum- Der and other useful commodities should join and cease production promptly until the worlds markets are relieved and yield fair profits

 General Conditions
 '. During She fpst three months or the year the daily ore output was maintained at the rate of 100 tons of corper and $50 tons of low grade lead ore. milled and concenaratedl at the milling plant Owing to the low price of copper metal and unsatisfac- tory metal market conditions for col'- per. the production of copper was cut so that more men could be employed to maintain lead ore output. Price for lead and silver continued fairly satisfactory until November. when the price of lead was reduced grad uailv.. compelling a complete shut down of lead mining and milling op- erations before December 1. Cop per ore nroduction was discontinued early in. November. The cost Of con ducting the mining operations during the year gradually increased on ac,- count of the extraordinary costs of supplies and inexperienced labor to whom high wages had to be paid to meet the high costs of ordinary neces sities. Until all markets are sta bilized and present handicaps to min ing operations are removed. it was necessary to reduce our operations to merely development campaign This policy was put into effect De cember 1. and we are now employing a force of approximately 45 men in underground operations. mainly do ing development work.

Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. 1O.-Twen-
ty-four persons, 10 members Of the
American Southern Syncopated Or
chestra, were drowned when the liner
Rowan sank off the northwest coast of
Ireland after two collisions yesterday.
Earlier reports of the disaster con-
tanned the list of only 16 missing, in
Guiding one American, but it was be-
lieved today that the number of VIC
tins was "a. Three Sim Fein ex-
pcrts, who were to have taken part
in the conference at London, were
among the drowned.
The Rowan collided with the
American steamer West Camak in the
north channel early yesterday, and
both boats were damaged. Rushing
to the rescue in response to a wire
less, the liner Clan Malcolm, crashed
into the Rowan, which sank immedi-
ately. There was heavy fog. Both
the West Camak and the Clan NAL
colin assisted in the rescue work,
which was carried on with the great
est difficulty. The British destroyer
Wrestler arrived on the scene and
members of her crew dived overheard
and supported victims of the catastro-
phe until boats picked them up.

TOWNL.EY FILES APPEAL
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
(By United Press)

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 10.-lnterest in
the North Dakota political fight turn
ed to Washing ton today where A. c.
Townley, president Of the National
NonPartisan league, was scheduled
to file an appeal in connection with
his conviction in Minnesota courts on
a charge of violating Minnesota es-
pionage, laws during the wan. Should
the supreme court uphold the decision
of the Minnesota tribunals, the Non
partisan leader would have to serve
a 9O-day, sentence in the jackson
county Jail.
What effect the incarceration OF
Townley might have on the present
political fight in North Dakota was a
matter of conjecture today. The re-
call election, in which independents
seek to recall Non-partisan state Off
GERS, is scheduled for October %.
indie pendcnts hope to Gust Governor
Frazier, attorney general William
Lemke and Commissioner of Agri-
culture and Labor John Hagen.
1t was believed no decision in the
Townley case could be reached in the
supreme court before October %. If
it is, commitment probably would not
take place before that time.

GIANTS TAKE FOURTH -.
GAME IN THE EIGHTH
National Leaguers Hit Mays
and Forget to Stop; Got
Nine Hits in All
(By United Press)

New York, Oct. 10.-The Giants
and Yanks were all square when they
entered the fifth game of the worlds
series. The former were coming and
the latter were going.
McGraw's outfit had the impetus
of a certain steam roller worked up
in their slaughter of the American
League champions in the race Sun
day. The score was to 2.
But perhaps the most significant
thing in this defeat Of Mays was the
fact that he had apparently lost none
of his "stuff," but the Giants began
to hit and forgot to stop. In all they
got nine hits of Mays delivery. Nc
Graw has three dependable pitchers
who have thrown in the present Sc
ries, Phil Douglas, Art Nehf and Jess
Barnes.
While it is true the first two had
battings checked up against them
they were even in defeat. The only
Giant pitcher hit hard was Fred
Toney.
For the Yanks, Waite Hoyt stood
out as the only hurler with clean
record. Up to date his two-hit shat
out in the second game was ~ far
the finest part in the series.
Mays after his initial shutout, was
batted numerically yesterday. Bob
Shawkey, Jack Quinn, Rip Collins and
Tom Rogers had all proved easy IN
Fridays batting.
Luck was against Carl Mays. He
had the stuff but the Giants would
hit. They gathered nine of Mays oe
livery. The Yanks hit Phil Douglass
for seven bases, but they didn't come
at the right time. One of the Yanks'
two runs was homer by babe Ruth.
The eighth inning told the story. The
Giants got three runs in the eighth
and another in the ninth. The Yanks
got one in the eighth and Threatened
to even up in the ninth, but stopped
with only one run across. Burns and
Kelley each got two-baggcrs Off Mays,
and E. Meusel garnered Il triple.
Batteries announced for today arc
Hoyt and Schang for the Yanks, and
Nehf and Smith for the Giants.
