APPEAL TO HELP
AMERICANS NOW
.OVERTHE BORDER
AMERICAN SOCIETY IN MEXICO
TRANSMIT SUCH CALL TO THE
STATE DEPARTMENT BY COU-
RIER VIA LAREDO, TEXAS.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Mexico City, July 90 by Courier to
Vera Cruz, via Laredo, Tex, Aug. 10.
Am appeal for help for Americans
in Mexico and for the relief of the
people of the country itself was sent
today by the American Society of
Mexico to the state department
through the Brazilian minister. 1t
recites conditions in the capital which
are described as uncomfortable, and
which are declared to have driven
Americans almost to desperation and
implores the Washington government
to act promptly in bringing about
amelioration.
''The American residents of Mex
icoN appeal once more to their gov
eminent and people in behalf of the
suffering millions of pacific men,
women and children in this country
who are victims of hunger and cruel
ty and violence" the appeal begins.
These conditions put the gravest
and most pressing responsibility up
on the United States which has not
only passively permitted them but
has promoted them awith arms and
ammunition and byS encouragement
to political adventurers who have
prostituted the name of liberty and
the cause of human rights.

the appeal continues, "stand aghast
and wonder whether they can be hv-

country bordering on the United
States which has made itself respon-

nothing more than send repeated

power and the spirit of graft and
hate.

Whole Country Declares
War on the Mosquito.

The most determined effort ever
made to exterminate the deadly mos
quito is this year being waged
throughout the United States. People
are at last beginning to realize what
a serious menace the mosquito is.
Not only is the buzzing at night an
noying and the itch of the bites mad
dening, but the mosquito carries with
it the deadly germs of yellow fever,
tuberculosis and other fatal diseases,
and it spreads them as It bites.
Don't take a chance with the mos
quito. 1t is so easy to prevent them
now, for 'MOSQUITO-GO" will keep
them away. "MOSQUITO-GO" is alb

The Mythical
Mr.. Hard Times.

AlIover the country the cry Of hard
times continues. and here in Pensa-
cola there have been hard knocks,
just as there have been all over the
United States. For in these turbu-
lent times the world, shaken from one
end to the other, has not yet attained
to any state Of equilibrium, and so
the United States markets are still
staggering a bit from the shock.
But It is only because the impact
was 50 sudden, it is not because it
WIS 50 devastating. For already the
fnanciers are looking forward to bet
ter times. Not better times than the
country now enjoys, but better times
than the country has ever enjoyed.
Here in Pensacola many have been
thrown out Of employment both in
shipping and railroad circles and the
loss has been considerable on account
Of the other failures induced by the
war. Yet, when all is said that can
be said of Pensacola's losses, the fact
still remains that Pensacola is as well

city in the United States today, and
facing brighter future than she has
ever faced.
In all the years Of PensacoIa's

here were more or less inflated. To.

A Business Man

&N@AGA-A~D0

business man. The statement may
act as boomerang, and has met with.
nothing but disapproval from the
press of the state so far as we have
observed. If Mr.. Wall is to be beaten
some other charge must be brought
against him except that Of being a
business man. 1t strikes many peo-
pie that good business men are need
ed in the senate, in congress and
many other places of public trust.
Mr.. Wall has certainly been a sue
cegsful business man, he is certainly
broad-nfnded, well posted man, a
fluent speaker and above reproach as
gentleman in the truest sense of
that word. He may or may not be
elected. he has many friends who
think he will be, but if he is not elect
ed it will not be for the reason that
he is charged with nothing worse
than being business man. In all of
our newspaper experience we have
never before heard of such a charge

ARTHUR MILLER GOES
TO MORGAN TUNNEL

Arthur Miller returned yesterday
from trip to Salt Lake and left post
haste for Lone Mountain to see the
new strike in the Margan tunnel. Mr..
Miller Is manager of the Ely Consoli-
dated company that has the Baltimore
group under lease and bond from Mrs.
S. G. Weston.
MT. Miller was not surprised to
hear that the tunnel had reached the
vein. But the first word he had of
the strike was when he read Thursday
evenings Independent.
From the surface indications Mr..
Miller expected that the vein at the
tunnel level would be about ten feet
In width. He thought that being cut
at an angle gave the appearance of
greater width.
The ledge Is probably twelve or fif-
teen feet wide, but the mineralized
porphyry extends a much greater dist,
ance.
IL Is not known what Mr.. Miller's
plans are for the continuation of
work on the Morgan tunnel. He may
run on through the lime to the next
porphyry dyke. But it is probable
that he will drift south on the vein
from the face of the crosscut. He may
also go back to the O4O-foot point and
run the tunnel straight to the vein.
The face of the Morgan tunnel is
about thousand feet south of the
De Lay gold strike on the Donna
Roma. In view of the rich find in the
porphyry dyke on the Donna Roma
1t will be interesting to know what
the porphyry shows in the Morgan
tunnel.
There is no one at this time bold
enough to venture guess. But from
this time on we can look for great
surprises from Lone Mountain.
