PRESIDENT WARNS
PEOPLE OF DANGER
DECLARES COUNTRY MUST BE
PREPARED TO DEFEND ITSELF
AND BE PREPARED AT ONCE.
In Forcefui Plea at Cleveland, Pres
ident Wilson Says No MSn Knows
What Single Day May Bring
Forth to the Country.

Cleveland, O.-Tresident Wilson,
speaking as he said, "solemnly,"
warned the nation Saturday night
hat the time may come when he can
not both keep the United States out
Of war and maintain it's honor, and
declared that the county must be
prepared to defend itself and be pre-
pared at once.
q America is not afraid Of anybody"
he said. Il know reflect your feel
ing and the feeling Of all our citizens
when l say that the only thing am
afraid CT is not being ready to per-
iorm my duty am afraid OF the
d:nger of shame. | am afraid of the
danger of inadequacy | am asfaid Of
the danger of not being abe to ex-
press the correct character OF this
country with tremendous might and
effectiveness whenever we are called
uron to act in the field of the worlds
affairs
The president spoke in Cleveland
with more gravity and force than he
has shown during any of his previous
addresses On preparedness.
Again and again the presiden
spoke Of the nations honor. He de-
clared the real man believes his
honor is dearer than his life, and q
nations honor is dearer than It's
peace and comfort. He said it had
)een difficult to keen the United
States out OF the war end he felt he
lad proved he was a. man of peace
when possible.
For the first time during his pres
ent tour the president spoke of the
navy and the coast defenses. The
latter, he said, are good in quality.
but not in quantity.

The vast hall was as quiet as a

matte statement The president later
stirred the assemb,age to vigorous ap-
plause by declaSing that this war was

The applause lasted for several sec

continued vigorously:
"And | thank God there Is no man
in America who can bring war or
without the consent of the people"
This stirred the crowd to vigorous
applause. 81
1t was the presidents fifth speech

Home Run Copper
Makes Important Find

The Home Run Copper company
is shaping for very active develop
ment campaign progress at the
present time being held in obeyance
only by the deep snow in the vicinity
Of the mine. However the manage
ment has force of several men en-
ployed and according TO late reports
from them the results of their work
is most gratifying for the reason that
late developments seem to indicate
that the real source of the ore sup
ply has been discovered. At least
this much is indicated by exploita-
tions made to the east on the 200
foot level. l.inboth places ore having
been found containing values of from
$50 to $50 per ton, the percentage
of copper runs high.
Eastward from the shaft about $50
feet is large iron dixie, or fissure.
1Ltting through the limestone and,
the late disclosures has led the
management to believe that this
dixie has played an important part
in the ore making process which has
been going on for ages in that par
tlcular part of the Bristol district.
Granting that is the case. the prob
abilities of some exceedingly impor-
tant developments at the Home
Run mine during the present year is
on the calandar.
: The company proposes to install
power drills at the mine just as soon
as the equipment can be assembled

Material Arriving
For NeVada-Utdh Mil

The very severe weather prevailing
during the past month has greatly
hindered work on the Con. Nevada
Utah mill which. nevertheless has
progressed somewhat.
The railroad had great difficulty
against the snow drifted and banked
into cuts and at wind sheltered
places, making necessary the employ
ment of many men shoveling and
picking ice and snow from the rails.
snhe "Highline" was a hard propol
sition but the line to Jackrabbit was
the greatest expense and hardship.
Washouts on the Salt Lake route
delayed the arrival of the lumber a
portion of which has arrived from
Los Angeles; there will be eight
carloads.
This large amount is necessary be-
cause the mill will be built with
wooden sides instead Of front
the roof will be wood and, iron with
building paper between. In this man
ner a wormer building will be OBJ
Gained than were corrugated iron
only to be used. fs
Il The hdad frame of shaft No. 5
has been taken down. The very
large timbers Of which it was COM
posed will be used at several places
in the mill whree rigidity Is needed
and where concrete would be doffi-
cult. These timbers measure as
large as 20 20 inches and ara
splendid material.
The iron tank which is to take the
| place of the old wooden one that for
so many years reservoired the. towns
water supply. has arrived. The pipe
lines to connect it into the SYSTEM
have been laid.
The water coming from the mine
runs through pipe which passes A.
cross the mill-site. In order to re-
mote this pipe new line has been
installed to the site of the new tank.
Concrete laying has been begun.
The mix is made inside Of the large
blacksmith shop; the hot mine water
is used to assist in warming the
gravel and sand. The forms are
warmed with steam. After pour
| ing the concrete is covered with can
vass under which steam is run all
highland during cold days.
The 25-H p. gasoline hoist engine
at the Susan Duster shaft has been
brought down and will run thu
crusher and conveyor belt.
| Several pieces of machinery have
arrived and were it not for the i'm
possible weather good progress would
/ be made

CON. NEvADA-uTAH
OUTPUT SOLD AHEAD

A Wall street paper. after speaking
of progress being made with the con-
struction of the Consolidated Nevada
Utah mill has this to say:
For the first two months the total
production has been sold at an
eIlulvalent OF 13 cents a pound for
spelter.
This will give the company a.
profit of about $4,000 a month.
There is enough ore mined and.
in sight to keep the mill running f0n
two years. The developments at the
property. according to the manage
ment. give promise of a Very large
tonnage besides that already known
In addition to zinc concentrates. the
mill will make an iron concentrate
running high in gold silver and lead.

Dividend Which Is Payable To Shareholders On March lst
Making Total Paid By This Big Pioche
Company Foot Up To $150,OO0
Since June 1st., 1915.

At a meeting, of the directors or
tho Prince Consolidated Mining &
Smelling company held in Salt Lake
a few days ago. an extra dividend OF
2 1-2 cents q share, or $25.00O. was
declared whoch is payable on March
1st to shareholders OF record on
February oath. Notwithstanding tnat
the company Is in the most prosper
Gus condition in Its, history. except
to officials of the. company. the an
nouncement of the extra" dividend
H. this time ZONES as a distinct
surprise as no inkling of what might
happen was given shareholders
The next quarterly distribution OF
S25. 900 is not due until April lst
and II. is entirely likely. In view, OF
the present, earning capacity OF the
company. that, the directors VIII
post another extra" before that
time, making total dividend pay
ment for, April of $4,000.
The. management Of the Prince
company, as has been stated In the
,lecord before. has made contracts
with the smelters for a minimumi
output of 500 tons per day against a
miniumm of 800 tons heret1f r.;
hence with. the high prices of metals
prevailing. the earning capacity OF
the company has been materially In
creased. Meanwhile. the company is
conducting series Of experiments In
anticipation of the early construction
of mill to handle the. immense ton
age now in the mine and upon the
Jumps which comes little under
the crude.
The construction Of the fourth mill
In the camp. particularly by a con.
.cern of the. magnitude that ". the
Prince Consolidated is will add very
much, to the. prosperous conditions
already prevailing, Not only will
the larger payroll be felt in bust
ness circles but will stimulate in.
teaest in mining In Phoebe and all
adjacent districts.
The new wage scale. whereby en-
ployees Of the company were. given
an advanced ofi25 cents per idays%went
into effect last Tuesday and it goes
without saying that the men received
with much satisfaction the announce
ment that the. management had adopt
ed a profit-sharing. policy.
With the February dividend the
Primes company will have paid g
total OF $150.000 to its stockholders
al since June 1916.

The Democratic National Committee
says the democratic party has brought
prosperity. That is the poitioian's Is
view, based on self.interest. A we'll
known writer in the latest issue Of the
Economic World says that "the great
total of domestic trade and industry.
exclusive of the commodities and ma
terials which in raw or manufactured
shape are going abroad for the uses of
armies or non.combatants,i is not indi-
rectly, hut directly connected with the
continuance of the war. 1t is the effect
of the stimulus which the war has COM
municated to domestic enterprise in all
branches through the effect on the do
mestic price level Of foreign buying
which derives it's prevailing character
from the missionary operations of
war finance plus the imperative ur-
gency of war.t time requirements" But
there are some few people who will
credit the assertion Of the democratic
perty aud not the war that brought a
measure of prosperity to some sections
of the United States
