FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American Anti-TubercuiosIs Society
Has Been Active in Movement for
Health Preservation.

tuberculosis IS one of the most So
rious public health problems of the
Orient. Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed in
Japan, the Philippines, India and Aus
tralia. A movement is on foot for
national organization in China and in
started. While no accurate figures
are available, those who are in po-
sition to know claim that consumption
takes annually from 100000 to 1,o00.-
600 lives in China alone. In India the
death rate is fully as high, and on ac-
count of caste distinctions and native
superstitfons, the problem of proven
ton and treatment is peculiarly diff
cult. The Japanese government has
taken a hand officially in the control
of tuberculosis, and is cooperating
with two well-organized private asso-
Citations The death rate, while very
high, is lower than in China and In
dia. Under the direction of the United
States public health service a move
ment for the prevention of tuberculo-
sis in the Philippines has also been
organized.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, with headquarters in New York,
in this country, has been largely in
strumental in the establishment Of
anti-tuberculosis movements in most
of the oriental countries, as we'll as in
Africa and South America.

HONOR TO VERA CRUZ DEAD
City, State and Nation Pays Tribute
to Men Killed in Mexican
City.

New York.-To the men of the navy
who died in the occupation of
Vera Cruz, the city, the state
and the nation paid tribute in a DEM
onstration chiefly remarkable for it's
silence and solemnity. For four miles
through the city streets, the funeral
cortege passed, and behind it in an
open carriage rode the President. He
sat for the most part with head barred,
though the May sun beat down upon
him and the mercury elm bed above
20.
Perhaps a million persons saw the
procession, which was nearly two
hours in passing. Such was the feel
ing of the massed thousands that
silence at times was oppressive.
There were few sporadic outbursts OF
applause as the Presidents carriage
passed, but these were quickly
hushed.

Federal Forces Evacuating City
After Hard Fight, Admira!
Mayo Reports.
HUERTA'S ARMY IN FULL FLIGHT
Mexican Gunboats Steam Out of River
and Anchor Near Foreign War
shps-Gen. Pena Replaces
Mas at Vera Cruz.

Washington-Rear Admiral Mayo,
at Tampico, reported to the Navy De-
partment that the Mexican federal
gunboats Bravo and Zaragoza had
steamed out of the Panuco river and
anchored near the foreign warships
outside.
The gunboats have been the chief
support of the garrison and their
fight was accepted by naval officers
here as meaning that the constitu-
tionalists were about to occupy the
town.
Federal Troops Leaving.
Evacuation of Tampico by the fed
eral garrison began at 1850 O'Clock in
the afternoon, according to a relayed
wireless dispatch to the Navy Depart
ment from Rear Admiral Mayo Fed
eral troops were leaving by the rail
road
That the rebels encountered desper-
ate resistance in their final attack on
the city and that they were compelled
TO carry their fight to the heart of the
town was indicated by Admiral Mayos
report He stated that at 1 o'clock in
the afternoon, when it was reported
the rebels had occupied Tampico,
there was heavy rife firing in the
plaza and that big gun firing con-
tinued
Fleeing to the City of Mexico.
The federals were retreating by
way of the railroad leading to San
Luis Potosi and it was assumed they
hoped to reach Pachuca, the terminus
Of a railway line that leads directly
to the City of Mexico. The railroad
out of Tampico to Monterey is held
by the constitutionaiists.
Mas is Replaced by Pena.
Observation-Disclosures has reached
Washington through official sources
that General Garcia Pena, one of the
highest ranking officers in the Next
can federal army, had taken command
of the forces outside Vera Cruz, super
seding General Mas.
This news caused all manner of
speculation around the State, War and
Navy departments. Some officials
were inclined to attach special sig
niffcance to the move, seeing in it
evidence of Huerta's intention to
strengthen his position around the
great port occupied by Americans and
possibly to assume an offensive atti-
tude.
On the other hand it was suggested
that General MASS conduct had dis
pleased the dictator, and that his re-
moval very probably had nothing
whatever to do with the international
situation.

Advice to Investors

Would-be investors i'll mining properties ares sometimes mlsled by
loose use OF the term mine by promoters, says the Mining and Engineer
ing World. 1t should be remembered that the word mine implies at
least that the property has been explored and developed to a greater or
less extent so that the net value OF the ore reserve can be calculated
and that a engineer can form an opinion as to the continuation OF the
orebody below the limits of the ore in sight with sufficient certainty
as to assure the return of the capital invested n a mining plant, reduc-
ton mill and other equipment necessary for the mining OF ore and its
conversion into a marketable product. The right to the term mine de
ponds more II the degree of certainty OF the assurance of the persistence
property has been developed to a point where these things are known,
the property should be designated as a prospect. The investor should
know that if he is investing in a prospect he is'doing SO at more o less
risk. The degree of probability that the prospect warrants the risk can
be determined with some degree of certainty by an engineer of expert
ence and good judgment.
1t should be borne in mind that every mine was a prospect before
it became a mine, and we know that there have been, still are, and will
be, many good mines. We cannot scorn a prospect for no other reason
than that it has not been developed into a mine. We must, however, be
careful in sizing up a prospect and be sure that our hopes are based
II some tangible scientific evidences that we have the markings OF a
mine. If the would-be investor is not game enough to take a chance
he should not invest in a prospect, but a well advised investment n a
prospect may lead to large returns on the money rsked. Such an in
vestnent is no more gambling than is investment i'll a colt i'll the hope
that it will become a valuable horse.

lead by cleansing and using the worn brstles to provide inexpensive and
durable s~crubbng brushes, the expectation of American cotton stockings
discarded by our housewives who seldom darn them, where they are
'unraveled and used as a cheap packing in the manufacture of grapha-
phones and electrical machinery, while the patched and darned European
stockings, not having any other use ire exported from Europe to this
country for their only possible use is paper stock, were all rected as
instances which clearly show that America is gradually but surely
awakening to the possibilities for enormous profit in waste products.
"1he rapid growth of this great industry has even made the de
.partment of commerce sit up and take notice. said Mr.. Guild. THE
exports and imports of waste material are not yet thoroughly reported
by the department, and even the commencement of their appearance in
the official publications of the United States government dates back but
a few years. Yet picking up the statistics for the calendar year 1913 l
find that we exported cotton rags to the value of over $4,000, paper
stock other than cotton rags to the value of $4,000, wooden rags to the
value of ST 100000, scrap iron to the value of $Ir2ooooo, old and re-
claimed rubber to the value of ST 100000 and scrap brass to the value OF
over 100000.
1.-The figures of the imports of waste materials from foreign coun-
tries are even more striking. In the year 1913 we imported scrap iron to
the value of 100000, old copper to the value of S 100000, silk waste
to the value of S3oooOoo, cotton rags to the value of 100000 and
other paper stock which was neither cotton rags nor wood pulp to the
value of nearly S5,oooOoo"

Quick Settlement Urged

The main topic of conversation in Tonopah at this time IS the legal
squabb1e between the West End and the Jim Butler mining companies
The differences existing have already been taken to the courts and min
ing experts have been employed by both sides to the controversy. Unless
some means are found to settle the matter out Of court there is bound tc
deprecated condition and the stockholders will be the ones to suffer
With this situation in mind, the Tonopah Bonanza has stepped intot the
breach and is urging a settlement out OF court In this stand the 30
nanza is receiving the support of many interested persons. In a re-
cent issue the Bonanza edtoriany among other things said:
Tonopah is confronted with a very serious situation. There Is
no denying the fact. Two leading mining companies have resored
to the courts to settle their differences with an ominous and endless
apex as the dominant issue. Records of such litigation do not
Dortand an early settlement, IS the questions are SO involved and
complex that a decade may pass into eternity and find the cases still
pigeonholed in the records OF some superior court for which the
suits are destined.
Hundreds of small investors and stockholders, whose every
dollar is locked up in the securities of these corporations, must
wait. They will suffer the keenest pangs OF disappointment and
bliehted hopes. Their dreams of retirement to some snug farm in
a more fruitful section are shattered. The future of their children
NAV depend on the speedy settlement OF this litigation. Plans for
the higher education Of their children must be abandoned and their
faith in the nen who have done 50 much to place Tonopah on the
map as the most prosperous camp of the nation will be rudey dis
turled. Some consideration should be given these people. They
are innocent sufferers who invested their earnings in local mines
with the conviction that some day they would receive the reward
to which they are july entitled.
In the name OF Justice and fair play the Bonanza urges the
directors of both companies involved to get together in a business
like wv and try earnestly to evolve a plan OF mutual satisfaction.
They can do it without sacrificing an atom OF principle or losing
any prestige.
