Major Scouts Seek
Talent IN Small Towns

The city youth with big league baseball
ambition either must toss aside those
ambitions or move to a small town.
For some strange reason big league
scouts pass up the big towns and spend
their time burrowing among the small
towns. Further away the small town Is
the better. The scouts seem to give more
weight TO tips" concerning ball players
operating in towns of about 500 or 1000
population than they do concerning stars
In towns OF 5000 and $1,000.

THE FIRST LINE OF WARFARE

Even as things are today, France could bring 1000 men an hour into Eng land by air if it were necessary. Twenty years hence France will be able to transport an army of 100000 men and guns across the channel with tWen- ty-five airships in an hour Germany will be in practically the same posi- tion, though I believe she will be forced to discard the lighter -than-air type. Every first class power will posses her fleet of great aerial battle ships com parable to the dreadnOughts of today, and while navies must be maintained to a certain extent, the first arm both of offense and defense will undoubtedly be in the air. I trust that England will realize this as speedily as other na- tions. The million which has just been granted for the air service was needed a year ago, as l then stated-Which created a good deal of ridicule at the time. Each year now must see the air estimates increased, and there must be no false economy in the matter of re- taining old types. Daily now improve ments are being made; the construc- tion is changing; and, most important of all, high powered engines are com ing into existence. Once we can get, as I say, engines of sufficient power, there is no limit to what may be ac- complished.
 These changes must take time; but am convinced it will be short. The

THOMAS H. CHARRETT IS
 COMPLETELY ExONERATED
Young Man Suspected of Theft Proves Himself Victim of
 Circumstances

Completely exonerated of any charge of wrongdoing, restored to the full confidence of his employer and reinstated in the position he had held previous to his embarrassing encounter with Detective M. Joe Murphy in Prescott, Thomas H. Charrette, is one of the happiest young men in Phoenix today. Cir cumstances which cast suspicion over him and which practically convinced the detective that Charrette had been engaged in systematic stealing from the Ezra W. Thayer hardware store have proved unfounded.
 When Murphy located Charrette in Prescott, the young man at once agreed to accompany the detective back to Phoenix and assured his pursuer he had little doubt of his ability to clear his good name Sub sequent events indicate that Char rette was the victim of a grave er ror so much so that MT, Thayer found no hesitancy in reinstating him in his place of business and to make such other amends as are pos sible.
 Those who know Charrette agree that he is entirely incapable of such a crime as that which apparently hung over him. He recently began the erection of modest little resi- dence which it is said is intended for a home for himself and a most charming young woman of this city who is shortly to become his bride. Both the young people concerned have suffered exceeding mental an guish because of the unfortunate cir cumstances which coupled the name of the young man with an incident with which he was in no way con- nected. But both are happy now in the knowledge that there has been complete exoneration and that the public knows it.

DEVELOPING NEW MINE


Chas. LaKamp arrived from Man
haitian last evening and will go out
to Ruby Valley tomorrow, where he
is interested in a group of claims in
the Mud Springs district which he
is very enthusiastic about. The find
in this district was made in 1911,
and at the time quite a little ey-
element over the surface was
aroused. But the locatOrs were too
poor to develop the properties and
as a consequence but little develop
ment work has been done. Mr.. La
Ramp was n of the original lOca-
tors and recently he and some Of
his associates formed a company and
are going to develop the group of
three claims that he has so much
faith in. He has had men working
on the properties for some time,
sinking a shaft on the vein, which
carries values of SO in silver and
lead. He believes that with depth
the ore will carry better values and
is firmly of the opinion that he has
a mine, which he will be able to show
up with development.-Elko Free

RECEIVER Is APPOINTED

II. E. Prudential vas last Mon
day appointed receiver of the Day
Bristol Con. Mining company, by
Judge Taber and under his direction
the somewhat chaotic condition of
the affairs of the company will be
Strengthened out. His appointment
came about through an action filed
in the district court last Monday
morning in which Con. Nevada-Utah
corporation appeared as plaintiff and
the Day-Bristol Con. Mining COM
pany, A. w. Middleton and George e.
Bent are named as defendants.
The complaint filed in the case
alleges thai the properties of the
defendant company have been gross
ly m~ismanaged during the past two
years; that the funds of the company
have been expended eXtravagantly;
that A. w. Middleton, secretary and
treasurer, and George E. Bent, gen.
eral manager have appropriated
funds of the corporation to their
own private use; that there has been
collision between the Merchants
bank of Salt Lake and the said Mid
dleton and Bent to obtain title to
the property to the exclusion of what
ever interest the stockholders might
have in it's affairs.-Pioche Record.

UTAH MAN CRITICIZES
NEVADA'S MINING LAWS

When requested one day last week
to take a small interest in a meritor-
ious group of claims in Nevada, one
of Salt Lakes successful mine opera
tors delivered himself in this man
ner:
Il am afraid to, and I'll tell you
why. Not for the reason that Neva-
da is not one of the most remarkably
mineralized section in the world, for
it is, but on account of the fOolishly
drastic laws which recent legislatures
have hedged about her mines and
mining within her borders. These
are SO numerous, SC exacting
that it would usurp about all ones
time keeping track of them and in
literally following out their require
ments. Today it wall take a Phila-
delphia lawyer to meet to a T all
these exactions, and big concerns a

of bookkeepers besides. Herald

MINING COMPANY is
TO BUILD RAILWAY

General Manager Frank B. Qualey
of the Excelsior Mountain Copper
company, operating the large copper
deposits at Lone Mountain in Mineral
county, accompanied by ]. b. TAFT,
who is heavily interested in the prop
erty, arrived in Carson this morning
on business with the United States
land office.
When asked by a representative
of the Appeal relative to the pros
poets of the mine, Mr.. Qualey stated
that nothing new could be said as
the public had been informed of the
situation in a previous issue of the
Appeal.
At present a large force of men is
employed blocking out the immense
tonnage the mine possesses. AS the
haul to the nearest shipping point is
about fifteen miles the company in
tends to construct a small railroad in
the spring to facilitate the transpOr-
tation of the ores to the smelter at
Wabuska. The company will also
increase its working force, which
will enable it to develop other
known assure veins on which but
little work has been attempted.-Ap-
peal.

TUNGSTEN PRODUCTION
DURING THE YEAR 1878

Tungsten ores were produced dur
ing 1913 in six of the western states
Colorado, California, Idaho, Ari-
zona, South Dakota and Nevada. Ac-
cording to preliminary figures col
lected by Frank l.. Hess, of the
United States Geological Survey, the
production showed an increase over
that of each of the two preceding
years. The output for 1913 vas
equivalent to 1925 tons of ore carry
ing 60 per cent of tungsten trioxide,
and was valued at about $640,50O.
The production in the three preced-
ing years was 1880 tons, valued at
$5O2,15S, in 1912; 1889 tons, worth
$407,9S5, in 1911; and 1921 tons,
worth $S32,992, in 1910.
AS heretofore, the Boulder county
field, Colorado, was the largest pro-
Queer, with an estimated output of
$50 IONS of ferberite in 1913, against
S12 tons in 1912.
The Atolia district, California, was
the second largest producer, and still
makes a larger production of scheel-
tie than any other district in the
world. Nearly ali the output vas
produced by the Atolia Mining COM
pany, but small quantities were also
produced from several mines at Ato-
liza and the Stringer and R~andsburg
districts on the north.
Some wolframite was produced in
the Clark mountain region, in south
eastern California. In Arizona scheel-
lite vas produced in the Old Hat dis
trict, 40 miles north of Tucson. Other
than the Atolia district, this is the
only district in the United States
from which a production of scheelite
is made.
Some hubnerite was produced in
the Arivaca region, near the Mexican
boundary line, south of Tucson, and
at Dragon, east of Tucson. A little
hubnerite was also produced at
Round Mountain, New, and in the
Blue Wing district, Paterson Creek,
Idaho.
No production is known to have
been made in Washington during the
year, but a small quantity of VOL
frantic concentrates produced in
1912 in the Cedar Canyon district
was sold.
A mill was erected at Hill City,
S. Oak, and a small quantity of
wolframite YVES concentrated and part
sold.
Prices were better during the year
than in 1912 and ranged from Sc to
$3.50 per unit of 20 pounds of tung-
stem triozide.

DEEP CREEK AND FERBER
CAMPS SHOW ACTIVITY

Writing from Deep Creek to a
friend in Salt Lake under date of
January s., a we'll known and reliable
mining engineer, who has been in the
district lately says:
Things are looking better in the
Deep Creek country than for years.
1T is reported that Young and
Little of Clifton have opened three
feet of good copper ore on the 200
foot level of the Copper King prop
erty.
George Woodman of Gold Hill
has opened up a large showing of
gold-copper ore on a property ad-
joining the Cain Springs.
&C. E. Johnson has taken a three
years lease on the Queen of Sheba
mine on Ibapah mountain. He has
moved in and started development on
the property. A small stamp mill
will be installed in the spring. There
is about $4,000 worth of ore in
sight in the property.
I'm the Ferber district, Arthur
oullucIldHu 10 lcdSlHS vi Tie MdIlld
Washington ground. He has shipped
n car of copper ore, and will start
shipment on a second car in a few
days. This will make the third ship
per up to date in the Ferber district.
The first was the Regent, which has
four cars of lead ore to it's credit.
The ore averaged $35 a ton. The
next is the Salt Lake property with
three cars to it's credit of both lead
and copper ore averaging around $50
a ton. This was shipped last winter
by Mr.. Sunderland under lease. The
last is the Martha Washington with
two cars, n shipped and the other
ready for shipment. The values of
this ore range around $25 a ton.
These shipments are considered a
very good showing for the amount of
development work done. With the
advent of better transportation there
are about ten properties in the camp
that could supply a small tonnage
of $40 ore.'-Herald Republican.
