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

LONDON. Jan. 14. (By Associated

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.

NEW TORK. Jan. 14. 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.
