GERMANS SUPPLY FREE
ELECTRICITY TO THE ALLIES

In the Electrical world there is
story of how the Germans supplied
the allies with current for several
months without being aware of the
fact. When the Germans first occupied
Lille, while the allied troops held
possession of Armentieres near by
the soldier-engineers Of the kaiser's
army discovered the abandoned Lille
electric lighting plant and according to
the story told by British soldier in
letter home, shortly had the gen
orators running again and the town
lighted by electricity. 1t was some
months, however, before the Germans
discovered that the Lille lighting plant
was also connected with ahttETAO
was also connected with that Of
Armentieres and that good share Of
the energy generated inside the Teu
ton lines was being used to light tho
allies quarters and troop tents in th.

religions as well as number of very
good works on engineering indicated
the mind dwelt apart from his al
most indescribable surroundings.
When taken to the hospital he was
clad in the old clothes he usually
wore on the street, with corset and
skirt as additional attire, and it re-
quired considerable persuasion on the
part of those who attended him to get
him TO remove the last named articles.
To the end his conversation gave
evidence of his remarkable store of
knowledge as well as to the keen inte-
lect he possessed, regardless of his &C.
centricities.
The body is at the Goodman Under
taking parors where it has been pre-
pared for burial and where it will be
held until members of the family are
located. In death the face of the old
man carries the trace of all the better
things of his life.
In his effects were found letter
written December 20, 1910 to his sis
ter, Mrs. Estella A. Rex, of Beaver
Dam, Allen County, Ohio, which was
returned unclaimed by the postoffice
authorities. In it he tells of his five
years residence in Durango, one year
in Denver and nine years in the Black
Hills. and reference to the National
Tribune indicates that he was an old
soldier. The latter fact is emphasized
by his collection of flags in the con-
fusion in which he lived.
1t is believed like misers, who are
the products of writer's imaginations,
he was not without his hidden sack of
gold and for this diligent search is
being made.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The trial
of the four Hamburg American Off
cials was resumed this morning de-
spite the rumors of mistrial.
The prosecutor denied that the gov
ernment had evidence making one jur-
or undesirable.
Olaf Nelson testified that he COM
manded the Norwegian steamer Nepos
when the defendants chartered her.
In his testimony, he said: They told
me we were to sail ostensibly for
Teneriffe, but would meet certain ves-
sells at sea. They promised me a
gratuity of $1,000 for protection in
case anything happened"
The German military attache ad-
mitted that the million and half dol
lars spent by him on II ships in sup
plying the German raiders early in
the war was sent to him by the Ger
man government.
Certain evidence regarding Attache
Boy-ed may not be introduced because
o. the state departments attitude.
1t is reported that Secretary Lans-
ing has informed the prosecutor that
Boy-ed acted within his rights in dis
Tibuting certain funds.
1t is understood that he suggested
the administration would look with
displeasure on giving Boy-ed undue
prominence in the present trial.

Mining Appreciated


Mining Appreciated.
Ten years ago, man who had
mine to sell had walked into the Of
flee of big financial powers in an eff
fort to secure capital to develop the
mine, it is probable that he would
never have reached beyond the first
tier of office boys says the New York
Copper Curb. Let it be said to the
credit of men of small means, who
are after all the progenitors Of the
American mining industry, that there
has been a complete reversal, due
mainly to their efforts, of public opin-
ion regarding mining and mining
stocks. Today nearly every big finan-
cial power is not only interested in
mining but the mine owner who has
something worth while is received
with as much courtesy as the railroad
man or official Of big financial
corporation. Practically every big
financial organization today is either
directly or indirectly Interested in
mining venture. The names of the
most famous men in financial history
are seen upon the boards of direc-
tors of mining companies. Is it not
a natural and logical outcome, there
fore with this change of heart on
the port of the financial powers, that
greater attention is being directed
toward mining securities by invest
ors?
This = the foundation of the pres
ent and coming big bull market in
mining securites-a market which
we believe, is destined to overshadow
any market in mining stocks that has
been seen. in the worlds history;
market devoid of frenzied and wild
speculation that has hitherto accom-
panied trading in these issues, a mar
ket from which fraud, chicanery and
initiation shall be absent; market
carrying speculative investment op
portunities Of the highest character
For the first time in the history Of
this country its gigantic mineral re-
sources are appreciated. For the
first time the investing public is to
participate in the profits that grow
out of legitimate mining and the de-
velopment of mines. For the first
time it is realized that mining super
sedes all classes of business for sta
bility, for appreciation in value. These
are the pillars Of the imminent great
market in mining securities now at
hand-Salt Lake Mining Review.
