lar with the use of modern arms,
the rudiments of drill and man
euver, and the maintenance and
sanitation of camps
A LARGE STANDING ARMY
Given a powerful navy and a
citizen accustomed to the use of
modern arms" what more does
q peace-loving republic need to
insure its safety?
Our Republican friends of the
jingo variety reply: A large
standing army"
Granted a1 a large standing
army would be a good thing
and. of course / do not make
such a concession for a moment,
how are you to secure it?
1t is almost impossible, to in
duce enough young men to enlist
to MAINTAIN our present mi!intary
force of less then 100000 men.
How can we swell thefanks to
100000.
By Offering fancy salaries or by
deception. Either bribe them or
force them to enlist.
OF course. the American people
will reject both methods, and
that leaves President Wilson's
suggestion as the only feasible
plan. Citizens who volunteer for
military training should be given
an opportunity to secure it. with
proper encouragement, they viii
come forward in sufficient num-
bers to provide any force needed
to safeguard our shores.
COST OF ARMY AND NAVY.
Congress has not been niggard-
~ in its treatment of the army
and the navy, On the contrary,
it has been generous to the point
of extravaganza.
The Republican party was in
power for sixteen years from
1897 to 1913. During that time
the annual appropriations TO- TIE
army and the navy averaged
about $25O,000,000.
In sixteen years Of Republican
rule a total of 81, 900, 900, 00G was
expended on our national de-
lenses and, yet. the Republican,
jingoes declare We have nothing
to show for this vast outlay.
WHAT HAS BECOME OF
THE MONEY.
Presid ant Wilson has supplied
the answer in his annual message
Let there b. no miscencep-
ton, The Country has been mis-
informed. We have not been
negligent Of national defense.
That is a scholarly way Of say
ing that our jIngo friends should
be put in the Ananias CLUB.
| believe that under Republi-
can rule the bulk Of tAa appro:
priatons for the army and the
navy We're honestly expended.
! OF course, there was grating,
and favoritism. Millious were
lost in that way and the present
administration is endeavoring to
stop these leaks. Enough Of the
money was honestly spent to give
us a fine navy not as good as
England's but probably fully
capable Of taking care Of Japan
or Germany and a small but
fairly of efficient army.
OUR FUTURE POLICY.
The navy must be maintained

RUNNING A BILL"
Adopt Pay-As You Go Principle and
Reduce High Cost of Living

1t seems economical, but really it
is not. You feel that because you
are not parting with cash at the
moment, you are temporarily saving
money; and you are usually sure that
when the bill comes in, you will be
better off financially than you are at
the moment. Of course this idea is
delusive; you find on the first of the
next month that the bills are larger
and the accumulated fund less than
you had expected.
Running bill is subtly demoraliz-
ing. When you open new account,
you are scrupulous to pay the bill
very soon after it is rendered; you
wish to impress your creditor with
the fact that you are an uncommon
ly desirable patron. After awhile
you feel that he has learned this fact,
and you let him wait for his check
while you impress a new set of cred
itors with your punctuality and SOL
vency. So you keep putting off and
putting off the creditors who are
"old friends" until finally it becomes
a scramble to prevent their sending
in an account headed by that dis
couraging item, bill rendered. "
When you sink into the bill rend-
cred" class, you have entered the
second stage of Indebtedness. The
third is marked by the receipt of
dunning letters, the fourth by per-
sonal visits from collectors, the fifth
by menacing communications from
lawyers.
1t is difficult for men and women
who have the habit of charging"
everything to put aside money for
investment. They have adopted 9
costly way of living. The ability to
purchase what you will. although
your pockets are empty, is an expen-
sive luxury.
If you adopt the pay-as-you-go
principle, you will considerably re-
duce your own high cost of living. +

APEX QUESTION At TONOPAA
West End and Jim Butler Fighting Over
Rich Ore Body Claimed by Both

A Tonopah, Nevada, dispatch says
there is excitement in that city over
the mining troubles which have arisen
between the West End and the Jim
Butler Mining Companies over the
apex question and it is likely that
the question will be taken into the
u. S. District Court within a short
time for settlement. 1t is believed
here that an injunction will be asked
for in the Carson court at once.
The West End has offered a hun
dred and twenty thousand dollars for
the ore already extracted and half
of the remainder of the tonnage to
be taken out. The Butler Company
rejected the proposition claiming
that the ore was worth at least
$3.50, 900.
Cal and Wilson Brougher are the
largest individual stockholders in
the Butler property and favored the
terms of the offer but the Philadel-
phia directors would not entertain
the proposition. Pending a settle
ment Of the matter both companies
agreed to refrain from mining in the
disputed territory for period of 30
days, which expired Sunday at mid
night. The West End management
jumped into the disputed territory
with ten machine drills and are
knocking down 500 tons of ore daily
valned at Sl2, 900.
Tuesday morning they were form
ally notified by the Butler manage
ment to vacate the ground but
laughed at the notice. Manager
Bradshaw and Attorney Evans of the
Butler Company left the camp at
once, presumely for Carson City to
get an injunction preventing the
West End from working.
This promises to be the greatest
mining case in the history of Ne
vada with the highest priced attor-
neys of New York and San Francisco
retained on both sides.

Novel Ore Hoist

Ole Elliot and Kid Highley have
introduced ideas from the southern
country in their operations at Cop
per Canyon, where they are conduct
ing promising mining prospect with
the aid of an automobile for hosting
rock. The machine is the one they
regularly use for travelling on busi-
ness and pleasure, but instead of al
lowing the investment of S2500 to lie
idle when they are busy at the mine
they hitch it up to the hoist and make
the mine earn interest on the invest
ment. The shaft is down only 30
feet, and for the present a tripod is
used. To this block and tackle de-
vice is attached, making a regular
whip hoist. To one end of the cable
the auto is attached when hosting is
done. and as the signal is given that
the bucket is filled, the machine
walks away with the end of the rope
and then backs up to lower until the
rear wheels hit bumper near the
collar of the shaft. This makes quick
and inexpensive hosting and is prov
ing a great time saver that might be
copied with advantage by the pros
pectors. .-Tonopah Bonanza.

ORE WHERE YOU f|NO It
Interesting Account Given of Ac-
cidental Discovery of Mines
That Proved Rich

The Salt Lake Mining Review gives
the following interesting account of
the accidental discovery of mines:
Many years ago two prospectors
were grubstaked by saloon-keeper
in town not far from the present
Occur d'Alene district, Idaho. They
were given a burrow on which to
pack their food and supplies. They
returned for more grub several times.
Finally, being discouraged and "out
of sorts" they quarreled and divided
up the outfit. One struck out down
the gulch, the other. to whom the
gun and burro fell, went to hunt his
burro. He found him up on the side
of the mountain standing on the out
crop of what is to-day one of the
largest dividend-paying mines of the
district.
In the early days of the Granite
Mountain mine, Montana, which has
paid many millions in dividends, when
the shaft was about 100 feet deep,
driving was being done from the bot
tom of the shaft. 1t was customary
for the miners to drill and shoot q
certain number of holes for a shifts
work and they were given sufficient
number of sticks of powder for the
holes drilled. The ground was pretty
tough, and as the shift boss was an
Ieasy-going man, some of the miners
would throw some of their powde,
through the cracks of the timbers
near the bottom of the shaft, thus
avoiding the drilling of one or two
holes. One day one of the miners,
the last one going up. threw stick
! of powder, with a lighted fuse at
tached, in behind the timbers. The
explosion was so terrific that il
proved that many of the miners had
been caching their powder there.
The explosion opened up another
parallel vein which was very rich.
A one-time partner of mine, in the
carly '70s. travelling on foot along the
main trail from Red Mountain to
Ironton, Colorado, sat down under a
Z
tree at the side of the trail to rest.
Having a small prospector's pick in
his hand, he broke piece off the rock
nearest to him. and this proved to
be galena. An hours prospecting
on the mountainside disclosed the
vein, although hundreds of good
practical miners had passed over the
trail without noticing the float. He
took out $4,000 worth of ore, and
sold the claim for $4,000.
At the Camp Bird claim, near
Ouray, Colorado, the men doing the
annual assessment work late in the
Fall, cut some material in the drift
that was different from the rock
which they had been driving. On
account of heavy snowfall they
were obliged to leave the property
in haste. and forgot to take samples
of the new material with them
Eventually this rock, which had beer
thrown on the dump, proved to be
rich ore and led to the discovery OF
the now we'll known Camp Bird mine
