Arte.ian Water ON Smoke Creek

According to C. T. Stevenson, for
mer secretary of the Reno Com
mercial Club. Bonner Brothers, who
have been driving wells near the
edge of the Smoke Creek desert, In
Washoe County, have struck a SIX
inch flow of water that rises eight
feet above the top of the well. The
latest well is at Deep Hole, just be-
yond Sand Pass. and was driven to a
depth of 180 feet. A small flow was
struck at 120 feet but when the cas-
ing was driven 60 feet deeper, the
water came up and flowed eight feet
over the top of the casing. Their
efforts have met with such success,
Stevenson says, that other wells are
being driven in the same vicinity

The StenOgraphGr
Who Is Advanced

In the October Woman's Home
Companion Anna Steese Richardson
writes an entertaining and practically
suggestive article about stenograph-
ers. She says that a stenographer
may be just machine or an efficient,
capable helper. Following is her
idea of the kind of stenographer who
is most wanted:
"The girl who is advanced is she
who not only shows speed and accur-
acy, but resourcefulness and what is
known as the ability to take the in
iative, so to think for herself that
she saves thought of details on the
part of her employer. The girl who
can save the precious time of high
salaried worker in handling mere de-
tails will eventually enter the ranks
of the higher salaried."

other day at Detroit, Charles P.
SteinmetZ, of the General Electric
Company, Schenectady, N. Y. un-
folded wonders and propounded
theories which his eager listeners be-
lieve are destined to startle the
world. Mr.. Steinmetz after reading
paper on The Production and
Control of Industrial Electric Power" /"
led to discussion on other technical
papers and really presided over the
informal meeting.
Electricity, which with every
other scientific agency is in its in
fancy, is destined to rehabilitate the
soil of the earth which has lost pro-
ductiveness through lack of fertili-
zation after hundreds of harvests,"
he said. by supplying the soil
with nitrogen from the air through
electrical devices, the United States
will be able to feed the world. The
result will be wonderful, stupendous,

THE SILVER SITUATION

Salt Lake Mining Review: During
the past few days there has been a
decided advance in silver quotations.
and it is believed that the white
metal will soon touch figures which
will result in greater activity in the
production of this commodity. for
commodity it is, really, under exist
ing laws.
For months it has been expected
that silver would resume some of its
old-time prestige in the realm of
metals, and, for months it has been
sluggish and dull. much to the sur
prise of those who predicted that
war demands would result in a
marked enhancement in value; and
many have been the surmises as to
the cause of this delay in gain-mak-
ing.
Every reason has existed for a
rise in silver quotations, and it is
now limited that the failure to ad'
vance can be accredited to speculat-
ors whose interest required that they
keep the price down but who, now
that the market is getting beyond
their control. have chained up to the
bears and unloosed the bulls. as they
can now realize handsome profits as
a result of their manipnlations
When peace is declared between
the warning nations of the far east
there is every reason to believe that
the demand for silver will be greater
than has been the case for many
years. and at an advance in price far
in excess of what has been paid for
o quarter of a century or more.
The devastated countries will need
more money and silver should supply
much of the need. as there is not
enough gold in the world to meet
obligations which have been incurred.
India, also wants more silver. and is
even now agitating the question OF
drawing its supply from America.
direct, instead of from European
financial centers.
The outlook for silver is excellent,
and its advance in price. at no dis
tant day. should be on a parity with
that received for other metals.

C0NsCaIPT|ON COMING

Salt Lake Herald: David Lloyd
Georges appeal to the British peo-
pie may be the last before the COM
pulsory system is instituted. or there
may be further impassioned exhorta-
tons to Englishmen to do their duty.
But nobody can doubt that ultimate
ly there must be conscription to fill
the ranks of the armies in the fields,
and the ranks of the workmen at
home who are making munitions of
war. Great Britain must do more
than she has done.
When compulsory service is insti.
tuted, England will but be on the
level with her Allies and with her
foes. Compulsory military service
obtains in all the other countries at
war, and has so obtained for years in
all of them. 1t is no serious refec-
tion upon Great Britain that she has
not been able to do what the Others
would not attempt. Every Ameri.
can familiar with the draft riots in
New York during the War of the
Rebellion, and the grave danger that
induced Abraham Lincoln reluctant.
ly to consent to conscription, will be
chary of criticizing England.
Great Britain is facing enemies
who are using every resource at their
command, both in men and equip
ment. to prosecute the war. In Ger
many and Austria, everything is sub
ordinated to successful conduct of
military operations; each of these
nations has but one thought and one
aim. The ordinary avocations of life
are practically suspended. Much
the same is true of France and Italy,
and it is rapidly becoming so in Rus
sia. England alone is trying to per-
form her share in the greatest war
in history while pursuing also the
ordinary business of life.
Reports of division in the British
cabinet on the question of conscrip-
ton complicate the situation, but
differences in the government will
not long be permitted to interfere
with policy that seems essential to
national triumph and to preveAtiag
national humiliation. The minister
of war munitions. easily the strong
est figure in the nation with the pos
sible exception of Premier Asquith,
is apparently converted to the neces-
sity of conscription. If he supports
the movement with his great in
fiuence, it will ultimately come.
