NOTED LAWYER BELIEVED
LOST ON NEVADA DESERT

A Washington dispatch says that J.
G. Moran, lawyer of Washington and
has been missing three
months and relatives fear he has
been lost in the Moapa valley, in
southern Nevada.
Moran, who is a member of the
faculty of the Catholic university law
school, left Washington six months
ago for Salt Lake, Utah, where he ex-
pected to pass the summer months
with college friend, James Ives,
Jr., son of the noted mine owner.
The two started on trip shortly after
Moran's arrival through the Wasatch
making a journey of 2,400
miles in an automobile. They started
IN September, Moran saying that he
was going through the Moapa valley
alone before returning east. Ives went
home, and has heard nothing of Moran.
Thomas Jefferson Thompson, former
president of the civil engineering de-
partment of the University of Califor-
ala, got in touch with the west in an
effort to find the missing lawyer.

MILITARY EXPERTS
SOMETIMES AT FAULT

The outcome of the fighting in the
Balkans is terrible shock to the ex-
perts who are addicted to winning and
losing battles on strict mathematical
basis. The naval man balances weight
of broadside against weight of broad
side, and speed against speed, and as
signs victory on the basis of superior
ity of $500 pounds in weight of broad
side and one-sixteenth of a knot in
speed. And when real war comes,
torpedo boat stands up to battleship
and puts it out of commission. The
land warrior balances gun against gun,
battalion against battalion, regulars
against regulars and reserves against
reserves. And when war comes a di-
vision of reserves with inferior artil-
lery drives two divisions of regulars
before it. The expert speaks in a per-
functory way of morale, but his heart
is in his fingers. When the Greeks,
who fifteen years ago fled like sheep
before the Turks, drive the Turks like
sheep before them; when the Servians,
who are set down as a non-fghting
race, go to their death like Japanese
samurai, the expert grows aware that
there are certain non mathematical fac
tors which enter into the game of war;
such as the inspiration of a just cause
and the impetus of national self-preser-
walton. But in little while the ex-
pert forgets and is once more busy
with his arithmetical blocks.-New
York Evening Post.

BALKAN WAR Is FACTOR
IN COPPER SALES

That the Turks and allied forces now
engaged in the Balkan war will prove
to be very important factor in the
copper metal market n the near future
is the opinion of leading copper pro-
ducers and manufacturers of ammuni-
tion.
Expenditures of ammunition are
based on what was used in the Russo
japanese war, namely, $50 rounds per
day Of battle per man. The allied
forces have some 445,000 men under
arms, so that the expenditure of small
l55, 100000 rounds per day of battle.
The Turks, on the other hand, based
upon the number of men under arms,
would expend 105,000,000 rounds per
day of battle, making total of $780,
100000 rounds per day of battle.
1t is fair to figure at least five days
of battle per man, making total ex-
penditure of small arms ammunition
for that period 1903 100000 rounds.
The empty brass cartridge cases or
shells used by the Turkish army weigh
22.02 pounds per 1000, and contain ~
per cent copper, while the shells used
by the allies weigh 20.S5 pounds per
1000 and contain sc 2-3 per cent cop
per.
Assuming an average weight of 21h
pounds per 100 shells, and a copper
content in the brass of 20 per cent, the
copper used up to the present time
would amount to upwards of 19,50O,000
pounds.
The expenditure of feld-gun ammu-
milton, based on the figures of the Rus
so-Japanese war would amount to
about ISL, 800 rounds per day of battle.
As an empty cartridge case weighs
about two pounds, 100000 pounds of
brass were used per day of battle.
Counting five days of battle, since the
war began there has been used l,5l5,-
900 pounds of brass, or 1,113,790
pounds of copper, making total of
upwards of 20,000,000 pounds of copper
that has been used since the war be-
gan.
1t is evident from the above that
ammunition manufacturers will be
kept busy replenishing depleted supplies
as a result of the Balkan war, says the
Posten News Bureau. Incidentally, the
amount of copper consumed, it might
be said by the Balkan war to date is
25 per cent in excess of the increase
in surplus copper stocks reported by
this country in September.

ELY GUARDS AR.
RESTED FOR MURDER

twenty-five men, all but one of
them members of the bunch of import

the Nevada Consolidated to protect
its property at McGill, were arrested
Tuesday morning on the charge of
murder in having caused the deaths of
Nicholas Dapagiannikis and G. Prina.
ris, victims of the shooting at McGill
on the morning of October H. The men
were all taken into custody by Deputy
Sheriff Jackson at McGill and brought
to Ely on the 10 o'clock train and
lodged in the county jail The war
rant for their arrest was sworn ont bv
Anthony Zurich, attorney for the West
ern Federation of Miners, and presum-
ably at the request of officials of that
organization.
The names of the men under arrest
are: W. G. Allen, VIM. McGaffin.

W. G. Allen, whose name heads the
list, was the deputy sheriff at the west
gate to the company grounds at Nc
Gill on the morning of the trouble who
is charged with having called the
guards and the other twenty-one men
are said to be the ones composing the
squad that responded to the call un-
der the leadership of their captain,
William McGaffin. There were thirty
men in all who were serving the com
pany in the same capacity, it is alleged
by Mr.. Zurich, of whom twenty-seven
came from New York and three from
from Chicago.
Mr.. Allen made application for bail,
which was fixed at $3.50 on each
charge, which was furnished and he
was released. Applications for bail for
any of the other men under arrest was
not made at the same time and prob
ably all of them will have to remain in
Jail for while.
The action taken follows and is the
result of the verdict of the coroner s
jury which was rendered Monday,
which said: "They came to their
deaths by gun-shot wounds inflicted by
parties unknown and we find that the
killing was unnecessary and we recon-
mend thorough investigation. of the

of the jury insisted on inserting the

LACK OF TEAM WORK
MAKE CHINESE POOR SOLDIERS

The Chinese is a poor soldier Not
that he is lacking in courage, for on
occasion he cheerfully sells himself as
substitute and goes willingly to the
executioner's AK in order to provide
his parents with the small sum neces-
sary to support them through life. The
strength of an army is in teamwork
and here is where he fails ON account
of his aversion to being ordered. This
is found in his domestic and industrial
work. A general line of policy or de-
sired results can be laid down, and he
will faithfully work in accordance
Herewith, but he dislikes to be fol
lowed up through the details of the
work with frequent orders. He will
produce excellent results-but they
must be accomplished in his own way.
Hence the essence of good miltarism--
prompt and unquestioned obedience
comes in direct conflict with his ma
ture, and makes him poor soldier.
However, this trait is not entirely
wanting in other nationalities, as ev-
cry business man knows to his sorrow,
and the difficulty of getting employees
to do thing in the prescribed way is
one of the constant anxieties.-H. H.
Windsor, in Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine.

GESRMANY WILL HAVE
GUNS OF ENORMOUS SIZE

A fresh and important departure in
the competition between the nations
to obtain the most formidable war
ship and the most powerful gun has
been made by the German Admiralty.
Fifteen-inch guns are being mounted
on the ships which Germany laid down
last year.
These are enormous weapons of ter
rife power, weighing 101 tons and
measuring sixtytwo feet in length.
Moreover, fourteen-inch guns have
been mounted on the German battle
ships of the Kaiser class, which have
hitherto been supposed to be armed
with only twelve-inch guns.
Guns of fifteen inches and sixteen
inches are being tried in this country,
but so far as is known no war ship yet
building for the British navy will be
armed with any weapon heavier than
the improved 1875 gun, which fires a
1400-pound shell and is ffty-fve feet
in ngth.-London Daily Mail.
