nation has power to act, only the three nations united
have all power.
Preparation for war as a means of ensuring peace has
been proven a failure. 1t has been tried for $500 years
and has always precipitated war, since one nation pre-
pairing compels her neighbor to do likewise-one fears
the other, and both increase preparation until the in
evitable struggle bursts forth.
Without separate armies and navies there could be
no war, the world would be at peace. This fact cannot be
gainsaid. 1t is therefore in this direction that men of
peace should labor. One great step toward this, as I have
said, has been made by the following announcement; here
lies the germ which only needs development to Danish war
from civilized nations:
"The British, French and Russian governments, on
Saturday, September 9Th, mutually agreed not to make
peace separately during the present war, and no one of
them shall demand conditions of peace without the previ-
Gus approval of the others"
Here the allied nations combine to act as one. After
the present benigerents agree upon peaceful settlement,
Germany and Austria should be the first invited by the
allies to join in forming a League of Peace. Should they
accept, then some of the other nations might be invited.
At the first meeting of the league some general principles
might be formulated: First, one general world peace
commission shall be established to which each member
shall contribute toward expenditure in proportion to its
population and wealth. Their respective fleets shall be
merged, controlled and operated under such management
as the league may direct from time to time. No war pol
icy or attack upon any nation or fleet shall be made ex-
cept by a majority vote of two-thirds of all the members
Of the world peace league, and then only after timely no
tie to the nations threatened. The commission shall ex-
ercise undisputed authority, always provided it is SITS
tanned from time to time by two-thirds of the total mem
bership.

velopment. Stockholders were appealed to, meetings held,
voluntary assessments asked for, but most OF them failed
and stockholders who were willing to do their part would
not unless all responded according to their interest. This
resulted in many cases in reorganizations as assessable
companies. In some cases a sufficient number of the stock
holders would consent to enable them to change the com-
pany from worcestershire to assessab1e, but in most cases
this was not possible on account of the laws under which
they were Incorporated. The companies were unable to
pay their debts and continue operations. Some, rather
than let their property go by default, permitted it to be
sold for debts, bought it in through a trustee, and formed
new assessable companies. All previous stockholders
panies on the same footing as those that engineered the re-
organizations. Generally, half of the stockholders did
not accept the opportunity, and felt that they had been
badly treated, and would have preferred that all should
lose rather than those who had faith in the companies, and
were willing to accept the conditions, protect themselves
in the only way possible.
Every company should be assessable as far as devel-
oping is concerned. When a property is bought with
stock, it might be necessary to have a certain amount of
worcestershire stock for that purpose. When purchased
for cash, the assessable stock should be sold for an amount
sufficient to pay for the property as well as to cover the
cost of promotion, organization, development and the fixed
charges controlled by the bylaws, the subsequent sale of
treasury stock, the price to be increased equal to amount of
assessment paid when sold. III this way, any shareholder
would come into the corporation on an equal footing at
any time, and it would be up to the stakeholder whether to
sell treasury stock for development purposes or be assessed
for carrying on the work. This would prevent the opera
tions of the fake promoter and make the investor realize
that a corporation is a cooperative concern, as well as the
fact that instead of taking a "f1yer' in any stock offered,
they would confine their investments to the most promis-
ing properties after careful Investigations and render all
assistance possible.

Andrew Carnegie's Pan

money in the interest of International peace, recently gave

ture in an article published in the New \ ork independent
under the caption: "A League of Peace-Not Preparation
for War" Among other things Mr.. Carnegie said
The writer has not failed to read with intense inter
est what has been published on both sides OF the Atlantic
upon the present lamentable conditions, created by the
greatest war known in history, embracing nine countries,
five of these among the greatest nations-Britain France,
Germany, Russia, Austria and Japan, engultlng IN their
train Belgium, Servia and Montenegro. That the former
conditions can ever be restored seems improbable. Some
part of the civilized world may have to undergo recon-
struction.
Among the forthcoming results there is to be proven
once again the fallacy that world peace can be secured
through preparation by each nation for war. On the con-
trary, there can be no possible escape from the conclusion
that war can be abolished only through a union OF power
full peace nations, resolved to preserve the peace them
selves and also, if absolutely necessary, to enforce it upon
others.
The present wal gives us upon a small scale an illus

Russia and France, which binds them to act only in
unison in all matters affecting peace. No one separate

~FeHowships In MetaNurgy

The Utah legislature passed a law a few years ago
which became effective on July 1, 1913, establishing IN con-
nection with the state school of mines the metallurgical
research department of the University of Utah. The par
ticular purposes for which this department was established
were the finding of ways and methods of profitably treat
ing low grade ores, of securing a higher percentage of ex-
traction OF metals from their ores, OF obtaining other lnfOr-
nation that shall have for its objective the benefit of the
mining industry and the utilization and conservation of
the mineral resources of the state, and to publish and dis
tribute bulletins and articles relating to the department
and the work"
BY an agreement with the United States bureau of
mines the work of this department is under the direction of
metallurgists of the bureau, assigned to duty at the uni
versity and Salt Lake City. Since January, 1914, ID. A.
Lyon, metallurgist, has been in charge of the work, as
sisted by other members of the metallurgical staff of the
bureau, assigned to duty at Salt Lake City, and with head
quarters at the university. Since that time O. c. Raston,
assistant meta1urgist for the bureau, and ] F. Cullen,
chemist, have also been assigned to the work.
In connection with this new department there have
been established five research fellowships in metallurgy,
each having an annual value OF 500. These fellowships
are open to college graduates who have had a good train
ing in chemistry and metallurgy, and applications for them
will be received up to May IS, 1915. Applicants should
send a copy of their records from the registrars office of
the college where they have, or will be, graduated, and the
names and addresses of at least three references who know
their character, ability and attainments.
AS was to be expected, the first year was largely de-
voted to making a preliminary survey of the state for the
purpose of determining the nature and extent of the low
grade ore bodies of the state. After this a study was made
of the literature and of the processes which it was thought
it might be possible to apply to the solution of the prob
lens with which the department. has to deal. At this time
these problems are as follows:
I. A study of the flotation processes in order to de
termine their applicability to the treatment of ores which
are not at the present time being treated by such pro-
CeSSeS.
2. The chloridizing, roasting and teaching of ores.
3. The recovery of precious metals in the presence
of interfering elements, such as copper.
A. The separation of lead and zinc ores and the recov-
cry and conservation of the large amount of zinc that is
lost in mining, milling and smelling operations.

Nevada Mans Complaint

What is the matter with mining? There is some
thing the matter with it in this district, writes A. u.
Bovd of Searchlight, Nevada, to the Engineering and Min
ing Journal. Continuing, MI. Boyd says:
\ number of times around the first of the year
have been in different parts OF this district to investigate
properties and have noticed men patrol1ng the ne1ghbor-
hood with Winchester rifles on their shoulders. In an
swer to my inquiries | was told that these men owned ten
or twenty claims (sixty in one case, remember IN the
principal part of the district, which they made little effort
to develop, but held by relocation year after year and en-
forced title and ownership at the muzzles of shOtguns and
Winchesters.
This is not only true but so VIGOROUSLY common that
I often wonder why the United States government does
not prosecute such men as intimidators and ~trespassers on
the public domain. Our government is making a snow
of ending unfair, improper monopoly and restraint OF bus
mess endeavor; but here is one of the most oppressive, hog
pish. doe-in-the manger and inexcusabe kind of monopo-
lies and restraints existing year after year without correc-
ton, and it is a serious detriment to the whole mining IN
dustry hereabout.
Life after life has been sacrificed by men who persisted
in prospecting on ground they knew was being held IN
these WAYS with totally insufficient work to comply with
the laws. Justice and adequate punishment by local
courts and juries have been impossible, and tor obvious
reasons. There are too many whose garments are not
clean. In other words, to put the truth bluntly, you can
not expect a thief or two on a jury to convict the one on
trial. The friends of a Acknowledgements are
seldom financially able to employ competent legal talent
and to subscribe the large necessary expense fund to Sc
cure Justice. The county supervisors are loath to stand
such expense against the slim chance for conviction, even
where the district attorney is competent and honest.
But the power of the federal government behind a
prosecution has a wonderful influence in stiffenlng the
backbone of important witnesses, who otherwise fear to
tell the whole straight truth. Only the strong arm OF the
national government can put a check to this condition and
break it up. A few shrewd, fearless detectives who can be
implicitly trusted and some prosecuting attorneys like
Francis J. Heney can benefit the country some millions OF
dollars in a little while, if set to work with the proper
backing. There should be means taken to put a stop to
activities of men who threaten the lives OF witnesses and
to secure public officials who will not be bribed.

Assessments For Development

Reviewing the past few years briefly it can be said
that many so-called failures in mining were not the fault of
the operators or promoters, and that most of the criticism
came from those who have put a little money in mining
as a FLYER or a gamble" indiscriminately without any
investigation, says Mining and Engineering World.
These people had rather more than average ability-mer-
chants, railway officials, doctors, ministers and lawyers
1t is no wonder that the false promoter can succeed, that
the legitimate mine operator has been unable to raise de
velopment funds.

companies were unable to pay their debts or continue de
