because most of them record a major

This is an impossibility. There are

There is considerable discussion
these days about the loyalty of
American citizens. We have never
doubted the loyalty of our men and
women whose ancestors may live in
some foreign country, but we deem
it only natural that as between for
eign countries our citizens are natur-
ally inclined toward the country OF
their ancestors, or the country of
their birth. In fact, if they did not
have this inclination they would not
be natural to nature.

of beet seed, due to the British or
ders in council, which have shut out
all importations from Germany, and
as rs per cent of the sugar beet seed
the United States secures abroad
comes from Germany, it is obvious
that the scarcity is serious.
1t will be recalled that last summer
when the prospective shortage was
ahead of them, American sugar beet
interests appealed to the United
States government to assist them in
obtaining seed from abroad. The
British government was appealed to
and agreed to allow shipments to come
thru from Germany, but the kaiser
sought to play politics with the situa-
ton by requiring that the seed should
be paid for in foodstuffs or cotton.
The British government, of course,
refused to agree to this. Finally
Germany, "as special courtesy to
the United States" agreed to permit
the expectation of $4,000 bags of
seed without requiring that it should
be exchanged for foodstuffs or cot
ton. This, of course, was mere
bagatelle as compared with our actual
requirements.
The beet sugar companies then
turned their attention to Russian beet
seed and it is now announced that 50,-
900 bags of Russian seed will short
ly be on its way from Vladivostok
to the United States. 1t is doubtful
however, if much of it can reach this
country in time for this years plant
ing.
This is the first considerable impor-
tation of Russian beet seed into the
has heretofore been imported has CIV
en- satisfaction, much interest will be
manifested in the results obtained
from the seed now en- route.
There has been an impression that
Russian seed does not compare fav-
orably with that grown in Germany
and Austria, but in recent investiga-
tons made necessary by the present
situation, it was found that while
Germany and Austria were supply
ing the United States with 81 per
cent of our foreign seed supply, they
were at the same time importing a
large amount of Russian seed, if not
for re-export to this country, at least
to take the place of the seed sold to
us. For instance, in 1913, Germany
exported 100000 bags of sugar beet
seed, l04,396 bags of which came to
the United States, while during the
same year she imported 20S,65S bags
Of seed from Russia-nearly half the
total amount of seed she exported.
With this knowledge, the Ameri-
can beet sugar companies decided to
try Russian seed. In order to get
it, labrynth of war "red tape" had
to be gone thru with and bonds ag-
gregating $1,0O0,0O0 will be paid by
the sugar companies if single
pound of the $4,000 bags of Russian
seed should be re-exported within the
next three years, or during the con-
tinuation of the war.

MINING NOTES FROM
THE SILVERTON MINER

Jacxk Joyce, Jr., and Bob Schwenk
made discovery of some rich tung-
sten ore on a property they recently
located in Henrietta gulch, near the
mead of Cement creek. The two boys
have been working there for the past
couple of weeks, and the samples
they have brought down are rich in
this metal. They are in good loca-
ton for tungsten, being just over the
hill from the Dawn of Day mine, and
in the section where the metal should
be found. The snow is still so deep
there that but little work could be
done. They are rushing work on their
discovery, and if the ore chute they
have opened up there has any size
they have rich discovery there. This
is simply fererunner of what is
going to happen up in that section as
the snow goes off. There is lots of
good property up there, and as the
snow goes new discoveries are GER
tain to be made.

Death of Wen Known Pioneer.

bcalh OF wen Known Pioneer.
Mrs. Lizzie Hansen, one of the best
known pioneer women, died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Cyrus G.
Graden last evening shortly before
o'clock. A few months ago she was
stricken with a severe form ct heart
trouble and for many days her recov-
cry seemed impossible. She rallied
and improved so rapidly the family
entertained hope her health was 60
ing to be restored. Saturday night
she was stricken again and continued
to fail until the end came. Her three
children, Mrs. Graden, Charles Han
sen and William Hansen, were with
her when she passed away. Mrs.
Hansen was born in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Thirty-nine years ago
she and her husband moved to Santa
Fe. A year later they removed to
Animas City, where they resided un-
til 1881, when they moved to Du-
range the place that has since been
her home. In pioneer days, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hansen were proprietors Of the
Leland hotel. Mrs. Hansen was wo-
man devoted to her church and her
home. The hospitality she extended
to strangers when the country was
new and homes few is treasured
memory to many of the early day
residents. Mrs. Hansen was a mem
Der of the w. II. C. and the Macca-
bees. These orders will have a part
in the funeral. The w. R. c. ladies'
will hold service at the Hood &
Ames Undertaking parlors and the
Maccabees their solemn ceremonies at
the grave after the service at the

f. ]. Holman and Mike Stitch are
crowding work on their tungsten
properties in Maggie gulch, and are
breaking ore for shipment and for
milling. Several people who have
been up there and examined the prop
erty bring glowing reports of the
amount of ore in sight there, while
there is no doubt of its value. 1t is
near the railroad, and the transpor
tation problem will not be serious.
We believe this property will make
record for itself this summer.
Superintendent Joe Boyce has been
pushing work of prospecting the Lit
tie Dora for tungsten, and has found
that the showing there is larger than
at first anticipated. He has opened
up some good tungsten are at various
places in the underground workings
some of it being over thousand fee,
from where first found. From this
examination so far made, it seems
that the veins carry this metal right
along. Some of the eastern owners
of the property are expected in the
district within the next two weeks
and at that time arrangements will
probably be made to put on good
sized crew of men and mine and mill
the ore. This property promises tc
become one of the largest producers
of tungsten in the state.
