Tllden, II., world's tennis champion, will cosch tho University of Pennsylvania, tennis team this Benson, Road House Guest -Kills One Bandit, Second Near Death gon in 1921 is estimated by J. M. Hill of the San Francisco office of the United States Geological survey, de partment of the interior, to have been approximately 67.500 ounces of gold valued at $775,194: 43,120 ounces of silver, 274.400 pounds of copper, and 3i0 pounds of lead. Although this represents a decrease of $241,196 in value of the gold, 4$ per cent tn the quantity of silver, and $8 per cent in the quantity of copper, aa compared with 1920, mining in the state at the end of 1921 was. far from being as depressed aa these figures might in. dicate. The decrease was due largely to tha curtailment of the operations of the Cornucopia and the Homestead Iron Dyke mines, in the eastern part of the state. The lessened activity at the Iron Dyke was due directly to the depression in the copper market. The dredges, in Baker and Grant counties were active and mads good returns. The U. 8. Metals Co.. developed a con. sldorable quantity of silver-copper lead ore at the Bay Horse mine, near Huntington, and expects to begin shipping from stock plies and from the mine In a short while. The Blue Mountain Mines Co., at Bourne, in' creased its production. In southwestern Oregon there was a decided midsummer revival of ac tivity In the rcRlon tributary to Jack son and Oold Hill. The Old Sylvan ito mine is being reopened by the .Oregon-rittsburg Mining Co., and the Bosw-cll mine, in the Holland district by the Boewell Mining Co. The Opp mine, near Jackson, was reopened in July, and tho Millionaire, whtch has Lhecn under development for more than a year, has been milling steadily.- In uddition to theso mines a number of others not so well known wero under development, and since the middle of 1921 several of them have been making shipments. DUBLIN, Jaa. 14 (Dy Associated Pres.) The Anglo-Irish treaty, creat ing the Irish free state, waa unani mously ratified today by the south Ireland parliament. Eamonn DeV'alera and his support ers, who opposed the treaty la Um DaU Elreann, were absent. A provisional government was con stituted comprising Michael Collins, William Oosgrave, Eamoa J. Duggen, P. J. Hogan, Finlan Lynch, . Joseph McGrath, Professor John MacNeill and Kevin O'Higglns. The list of ministers does not In clude Arthur Griffith, president ot the DaU nor George Gavan Duffy, foreign minister, presumably because foreign affairs, although they will be within the competence of the free state when constituted, will not he formally han dled by the provisional transitional government LONDON. Jan. 14. (By Associated Press.) Father Dominic, who was spiritual adviser to the late Terraacs MacSwlney, lord mayor ot Cork, was among the thirty Sinn Fein prisoners released from Parkhurst prison on th Isle of wight today. ' , , WASHINGTON. Jaa. 14. (By Asso ciated Press.) The Far Eastern ex perts of the arms conference have been trying to work out a plan to meet the Chinese complaint that existing railways to China controlled by foreign Interests have been discriminating against the Chinese and other nation alities not included within the secret arrangements and contracts. It sppeared today, however, that the effort must be abandoned for the rea son that the experts have not been able to collect the facts necessary to reach sound conclusions. Naturally the parties who will profit by the al leged discriminations will not come forward themselves and all efforts of the experts to get at ths truth have been met by flat denials by the agree ment of the railroads that discrimina tion Is practiced. , Another one of the Chinese points that seemed destined to fail of accom plishment relates to the surrender of leased territories. It Is well understood by the confer ence generally that there is not the slightest Intention on the part of the Japanese to give up the Liaotung pen insula and Port Arthur tor the posses sion ot which they assert they sacri ficed 100.000 lives, a vaat treasure and moreover, which they claim to hold under a perfectly lawful lease, quite different in scope from the holdings ot other nationalities.

Men'a clothing during the coming year will be tor the most part sober in its gene ral effects, but will reflect something of the atmosphere of the ball room. The National association tjf Retail Clothiers and the International Asso ciation ot Clothing Dealers, in session here, have collected information through questionnaires, and this year's styles will be based on the views of customers thus expressed. A statement on the mode to be followed during the spring and sum mer of 1928 follows: Th sport garment has become a recognized necessity for golf and mo toring, owing to the present era being distinctly toward outdoor life. The tendency of coloring , will be light gray and tan tn club checks, her ringbone and tweed. Trousers will be designed along straighter lines, with larger knees and wider bottoms. The spirit of the times shows a trend toward the adoption by men ot all ages of styles typical of and ac cepted by the younger . generation. There Is a growing tendency lo plain models in looser, wider shoulders, with natural lapels and shoulders on, higher lines.
