 Dear Sir:-
 In accordance with the in structions of the Board of Di- rectors of the Navy League, I am hereby appointing you a member Of the Membership Com mittee of that organization.
 In the present days of iuterna- tional strife and hysteria, we believe that it is one of the first duties of every good citizen to work with all his might to in sure the provision of such naval defenses for this country as shall renderour country strong enough to avoid being drawn into the maelStrom of war, or shall ren- der it certain that no hostile army shall ever set foot on our soil should the worst come and our nation be unavoidably drawn into the strife.
 We believe, that the best or ganized and most potent of the forces working for adequate na- tional defenses is the Navy Lea que, and therefore do not hesi- tate to urge you as a citizen and a patriot, to lend us your fullest and most enthusiastic aid and cooperation in our work to in sure our country absolutely against the possibility of inva- sion by a foreign foe.
 The Secretary of the commit tee to which you have been as signed will communicate with you shortly in regard to the par ticular manner in which your assistance will be of most value. May we not count upon you to the fullest extent in this great patriotic work?
 (Signed) ROBERT NJ. THOMPSON, President of the
 Navy League of the U. s. Great interest is felt all over the country in the Navy Lea gue's sensational campaign in behalf of adequate national defense which has done so much toward the awakening of the American people to the danger of their undefended condition.
 The Navy League IS not in any sense a militarist organiza- tion. Since it's foundation more than fourteen years ago it has been foremost in the work for | internat tional peace. It's preSi- | dent, General Horace Porter, was twice delegate to the Worlds | Peace Conference at the Hague, and in all it's action and utter ances the League has worked for and advocated peace, BUT until such a time as the poSSi- bility of war is reduced to much below it's present ratio'it believes that it would be just as unWiSe for the United States to allow it's navy to deteriOrate as it would be for a householder to allow his fire insurance policy to lapse because he -disapproved of fires and hoped there would be no more of them.

NEVADA PACKARD COMPANY
WILL SOON INSTALL MILL

Frank Margrave. secretary n
superintendent of the Nevada Pack
ard Mines company, returned Sun
day from San Francisco. Mr.. Mar
grave stated to a reporter that the
company had completed all the pre-
liminary arrangements or the i'm
mediate building of the new mill
which they have planned to erect on
their property to reduce the i'm
n:ense amount Of milling ore they
have on the dump aud in the mine.
The pipe fer the water line has
already been shipped and will be on
the ground within a short time. A
force of men are nov excavating for
the nipe line.
The mill will have a capacity of
between Is and 100 tons and will
be of the matchmaking and cyanid-
ing type. Power will be supplied by
the new electric transmission line.
The building of the mill will save all
the hauling and treatment charges
which have heretofore taken much
of the values.
The company is not shipping II
o ore and are only extracting
what is absolutely necessary in car
rving on development work.-Love-

another of the cars differed by the
new conductors, with the result
that the novices experienced a rush
which would have tried the ability
of a veteran.
That the new conductors were
somewhat ervou was quite evident
during the first few hours, but be-
fore the day was over they had be-
come more confident. All the pas
sengers, they said, were very polite,
except over occasional mistakes in
making change. Some of the men
who boarded the cars seemed to be
in doubt as to whether or not to re-
move their hats inside the cars. For
the present, the one will start
work at 10 o'clock in the morning
and quit at s in the evening.

INCREASE
IN LEAD OUTPUT

lead is one of the first metals that
would naturally be associated with
an increased consumption in time
Of war. and yet, the exports of lead
from the United States to Europe
since the var began have not in
creased in proportion to the increase
in exports of zinc and some other
metals, and the price of lead instead
of being enhanced by the war act
uallv slumped in October to the low
est point reached in the last Is
years. These and other facts are
presented in the advance statement
of the production of lead in the
United States in 1914, just issued
by The United States geological sur
ley.
The total production of refined
lead from both domestic and foreign
ores IA 542,122 short tons, COM
pared with 462,460 tons in 1913.
The production of refined lead from
domestic ores was 512,794 tons, an
increase of 100,916 IONS over the fig
nres reached in 1918. This increase
was due chiefly to gains in Missou-
ri. about 10000 tons; in Idaho 40
900 IONS; in Utah $4,000 tons.
The exports of lead smelted from
foreign ores were 30.944 tons and
a total of S9.666 tons, larger than
in any other year since 1911, when
the exports of lead aggregated 49,.
307 tons. No domestic pig lead had
ever been exported from the United
States prior to 1914. Generally the
price of lead in this country, owing
to the tariff. exceeds the price
abroad. Lead smelted in bond from
foreign ores is exported instead Of
domestic lead. Owing to the civil
war in Mexico the imports of Mex
ican ore for the last few years have
been much smaller than heretofore
and there was not enough foreign
lead in the United States to supply
the demand. Lead was consistently
higher in London in 1914 than in
New York, and this. together with
the scarcity of Mexican lead, caused
the large exports of domestic lead.
