War Campaigns in Winter

That the coming of winter introduced many difficulties for the
warning nations of Europe cannot be doubted. 1t is true that improve
ments in military methods and equipments have made impossible such
colossal horrors as those attending Napoleons retreat from Moscow.
or even those incidental to the operations of the allied armies in the
Crimean war; yet the rigors of winter n still a factor to be reckoned
with in both the strategical and humanitarian aspects of war.
AS to the sufferings entaied upon the soldiers, a few illustrations
will show that. these are still inevitable. OF the fighting in Manchuria in
January, 1905, during the Russian Japanse war, Sir Ian Hamilton says:
"Horsemen ganoped about the field with the foam and dripping sweat
of their horses changing into a crust like snow and long dangling icicles.
The fifth division, only seventy yards distant from the Russians, near
Heikoutai, had the choice between frost and fire When they stamped
their feet to keep life in them, the Russians expecting an advance fired
on them. When the japanese remained quiet they lost their toes. Four
hundred Of them were found to be suffering from toSho (frost bite
the next morning
An episode in the defense of Plevna in 1877, which might well be
repeated today, is recorded by Captain W. V. Herbert: THE sentry ser
vice in our own redoubt" he writes, as well as throughout the camp,
was of a cruelty severe character in the rigor of a Bulgarian winter. The
original four hours had to be reduced to two and then to hour. FIXED
almost buried aive-in a hole four feet deep, with the upper part OF the
BODY exposed to the bitter blasts, the lower embedded i'll the frozen
ground, unable to move, the slightest attempt at a trot, the very act
of stepping out of the hole, attracted the enemys bullets. lnsufhclently
fed, compelled to exercise ceasdess vigianfe, struggling against the
dangerous drowsiness engendered by frost, the men looked upon sentry
duty as the last refinement of torture"
Strange to say the circumstance of being accustomed to a cold CHI
mate does not appear to give any decided advantage to troops cam
paigning under winter conditions. T. NJ. Mcguire, in his Outlines OF
Military Geography says: "When the theater of operation is entered
nothing is of much importance except military organization. The
inhabitants, however we'll used to the climate, will perish if UMPIRE
pared. while the invader, if provided with all requisites OF clothing,
food and drink will thrive" Ir the Balkan campaigns OF 1877 the
Russians suffered more from cold than from the Turks. Even the
supposed superior stamina and military prowess OF the inhabitants OF
cold, as compared with those of warm climates, is largely mythical
IS NAV be seen by comparing the very unequal warhke qualities of the
different races of northern India, who live under nearly identical eli
matte conditions

Winter Weather and War Strategy

Few people in this country have any idea of the climate conditions
in winter in the regions of Europe where the hostiites are being con-
Quoted, so the following description that appears in the fourth war issue
of the Scientific American is particularly timely and valuable. In regard
to the weather conditions, and the effect they will have on the contendng
armies, the writer gives the following information:
The two main theatres of the present war differ greatly from each
other in their winter climates. Western Europe enjoys comparatively
mild winters, under the influence of prevailing westerly and southwest
ery winds from the Atlantic ocean, which, like all large bodies of water
has but a small range of temperature from summer to winter. The
,limate is, however, very moist, so that a moderate degree of cold pro-
duces much discomfort. Cloudy weather prevails considerably more
often than in any part of the United States, except perhaps the region of
the Great Lakes and the extreme north Pacific coast. AS we go inland
we find no abrupt change of conditions, as there is no large range of
mountains running parallel to the Atlantic coast to form a climatic divide
very gradually, however, the climate becomes more continental and the
present eastern theatre of war lies in a region that is intermediate in
climate between the marine conditions of the western coast and the truly
continental climate of central Russia.

The Professional Prospector

In keeping with modern requirements, the faculty of the Colorado
School of Mines, at Golden, has decided to establish a short course for
prospectors, says the Denver Mining Record. This action is taken in or
der to promote the more efficient and scientific prospecting of Colorado
mineral lands. The course of training will last only three weeks, but
much information may be CLEANED in that time. 1t is a laudable innova-
ton and one that should be amplified.
Nowadays, before; starting on a prospecting trip into the mountains
would not be amiss for the seeker of riches to previously graduate in
geology, chemistry, mneralogy, mine engineering, law and a few other
dy but useful studies. Thus equipped he should be able to cope with
the most formidable problems that, like snaring grizzly bears, confront
him and strive to bar his progress toward wealth. Mineral combina-
tons, geological formations, complicated methods of ore treatment, mar

The Cresson Gold Strike

While the followers of the Nevada mining market have been re-
ioicing over the rich discoveries in the Jumbo Extension property says
the Denver Mining and Financial Record, the friends of the old and
reliable Cripple Greek district have found occasion to applaud another
of those phenomenal strikes of gold ore which have often punctuated
the history of the camp during the last twenty-five years.
The Cresson mine has disclosed a body of ore in which the gold
values ar sc highly concentrated Is to place a $500 product in the low

Frederick L. Hoffman in an article in the New York Spectator an
insurance journal, contends that there has been a steady decline in the
suicide rate in this country since 1908. Mr.. Hoffman publishes suicide
statistics for many years in one hundred American cities. He finds
from these statistics that there was a steady increase year after wear I'D
to 1908, when the maximum sseens to have been reached. Since then
the suicide rate has been declining and had fallen in 1913 to 49, Del
10000 inhabitants. The rate is the lowest since 1909 with the excep-
ton of 1906. 1t has generally been accepted that suicide becomes more
frequent each year, especially in the cities, and Mr.. Hoffman's showing
that this is not the case is gratifying.

his Uranium to its utmost capacity. Unlike the old time prospector, he
seeks for something besides gold and silver. AT least a dozen different
which were unknown or ignored in the early days now have
formerly were considered too refractory or low grade to merit attention
are worked at a profit in this FRA of scientific manipulation.
The old-hme prospector did not need a large amount of technical
knowledge to meet the demands of his calling, because he lived during a
period when the mining industry was conducted along decidedly primitive
res, as compared with present-day activities. This rugged pioneer
rorned all metals baser than gold and silver. He sought only the best
that the treasure vaults of the Rockies afforded, and he did not seek in
n. The west owes much to his enterprise and defiant perseverance.
He discovered and developed mines that became famous the world over
as heavy producers. His achievements attracted new settlers and gave
this part of the country its first real boom as a desirable location for the
profitable investment of capital and the establishment of homes.
A few of the old-timers still survive to continue their quest for
treasure. Although they have changed with changing condition and have
acquired a more modern knowledge of mining, they usually prefer to
seek for the aluring gold and silver-as in former times.
Mining World: The typical prospector is famous for his faith in
courage in working against odds that would sagger many. One ex-
poets a prospector and miner who would succeed to be physically fit. A
most unusual case comes to our notice of a prospector who is totally blind
and who has lost one arm, who has overcome these apparently insrr-
nountable obstacles and has succeeded in locating a paying gold mine.
The man is a mining man of Helena, Mont, and his mining property is
locaetd in Scratch Gravel district. Although familiar with the district
