DEFENSE THAT WILL DEFEND.

Secretary of War Bakers remark that st is much better to over

only way to prepart for the worst, and that is ION a big scale and

This does not mean CONSUMPTION and universal service. 1T uoes not

miGtarism. 1t does mean energy system, knowledge, diberahty. and not

have to defend but a clear understanding of the magnitude of the task

CAMPING GROUND FOR TOURISTS.

Last year the Appeal advocated a camping ground for tourists and
is glad to see that the Business Mems association is taking the matter
up. A lat. issue of the Sacramento Bee has the following to say about
establishing camping grounds for autosts in that city:
"The city board of park directors wisely has decided to provide for
n automobile camping place in the addition to Mckinley park.
"Such camping places are furnished by many western ctes-Fres-
no, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego among them.
"The idea is to encourage automobile campers to stop a day n two
in Sacramento. Last year, according to statements of 1oca1 automo-
bile men, many auto campers made inquiry for such accommodation,
and a number went through the city without stopping because there
wcre none.
at is intended to advertise the local camping place abroad, so auto
mobile campers may make Sacramento n of their ports of call In
the camping ground will be provided electric lights, water and proba-
bly, a shower bath. he cost will be about 500.
Surely the city could not spend 500 to better advantage. The adj
vertising possibilities thus afforded will more than compensate for the
money expended"

ONCE OVERS"

Are you doing your duty by the boys in your neghborhood?
You were a boy yourself once. you may remember, and you know
som things which might make them grow into better men.
You know the sort Of influences which would have been good for
you when you were a youngster.
Why not put your knowledge and experience to some good use?
BOYS must be kept busy, mentally and physically If the right sort
Of employment is not forthcoming they are likely to select the wrong
amusements.
Why not, with your past experience, try to help them along? You
could not be engaged in a better work.
Being a "big brother to PM younger fellow pays better dividends
than YOU have yer realized.

PRAYER.

En-.
Some people think prayer is a telephone,
A patent transmdtter to hire or own,
And at every hint OF a fresh desire,
They call up the busy Central wire
To plug into the Great White Throne.
Some people think prayer is an elevator,
A sort of an automatic waiter,
Eternally ready, systematically swift,
To pick them up and give them a lift,
Some people think prayer is a kind of a kite,
A little erratic as yet in flight,
And consequently it isn't claimed
That it always reaches the spot where aimed,
But it carries the message up all right.
Some people think prayer is a flying machine,
Impressive in power but inclined to careen,
And if any part of the motor snaps
The whole thing falls in a huge collapse,
With your wrecked hopes somewhere in between.
But maybe prayer is a road to rise.
A mountain path leading toward the skies
To assist the spirit who truly tries.
But it isn't a %shibboleth, creed, nor code;
1t isn't a ~pack-horse to carry your load;
1t isn't a method; it's only a road.
And perhaps the reward of the spirit who tries
Is not the goal, out the exercise!

WONDERFUL NEVADA.
Small Population, But State Makes a
Wonderful Mineral Production.

Nevada, with a population of 100,-
900, had a mineral production in 1915
of over $35,000,000. It's area is no.
700 square miles, which is nearly
twice that of Wisconsin, but the pop
ulation of the entire state is less than
that of Salt Lake City, Tacoma or San
Antonio. Nevada's population of less
than one person per square mile is
the smallest of any state in the coun-
try, comparing with Is per square mile
in California, so per square mile in
Michigan, and 500 per square mile in
Rhode Island. Nevadas production of
copper for 1915 rose in value to that
of it's gold production, each being
slightly under $12,OOO,0OO, while its
production of silver was valued at
$8,000,000. Nevada ranks with Mon
tana as the premier silver producing
state. The output of zinc rapidly in
creased in 1915, particularly in the
Pellow Pine district and at Phoebe.

OTHER KIND OF MINING
DESTROY HUMAN LIVES
CORNWALL MINERS ENGAGED IN
TUNNELING UNDER ENEMY
TRENCHES.

The Cornish Post and Mining News,
published at Camb0rne and Redruth,
Cornwall contains in a recent issue,
beside a column of Michigan and
Butte personals, note on "The Other
Kind of Mining" 1t states that the
mining reports made by certain engi-
neers after the war to directors will be
weird, reading. Instead Of dealing with
the metallurgical content of the rocks
there will be reference to a tunnel
driven close to the enemys trenches,
strict secrecy being observd and no
casualties from counter mining. In
stead of advising that payable ore
has been struck, the engineer may ad-
wise that taking the angle Of least re-
sistance into account and the size OF
the charge, a satisfactory crater can
be formed by the explosion and a gem
eral advance of troops rendered prac-
ticable. Itemust be novel and extra
ordinary experience to carry on UNI
derground warfare In Cornwall our
miners have been known to proceed
warily towards the abode Of subter-
ranean enemy, but the enemy has
been a passive resster, huge body
of water silently awaiting the blow
of the pick that will release it's pent
up volume. BY cautious prodding, the
lake has been tapped and drained
gently away In other cases the water
has been holed into unexpectedly as
at Wheal OwIes, where a score Of min
ers lost their lives. But the mining
engineer who is engaged in destructive
mining at the front, commands 9
large body of human moles who dig as
silently as possible through the earth
until their gallery or galleries are
underneath the trenches of the enemy.
All the time they know that similar
body of miners is working toward
their own trenches and machine gun
emplacements. 1t requires the highest
kind of sustained courage to remain at
listening post in a narrow tunnel day
and night knowing that your enemy
is gradually getting nearer, and that
you may be blown up. No story of
Jules Verne, Edgar Allen Poe, or H. G.
Wells equals in living interest the
facts of this underground warfare.
Some explosions are only intended to
shake up the ground without making a
crater at the surface others are in
| tended to blow the enemy and his
works into fragments. Science, ini-
tiative, endurance and sustained
courage are called for; and when the
story of our tunneing corps in Bel
GUM, France and GallipOli can be
told, the public will be amazed at the
Ingenuity, the fortitude and the eff
cheney of our golfers, our tin miners
and their intrepid leaders, some of
whom have laid down their lives af-
ter exacting heavy toll in dead from
the enemy.

WIRELESS CRYSTALS.

of Great Value.

of Great Value.
The Mohave Miner, published at

following interesting item: This week
the Arizona Venture corporation,
through its agent here. w. d. Grannis,
shipped to its New York office 256
wireless crystals for transmission to
the English government to try out in
its stations and vessels.
These crystals are not, as might be
supposed. actual erystallization of
metals or of rocks but are combin-
alton known to scientists as lenzenite,
composed of zinc. lead, copper and
several other basic metals. 1t is rare
ly found in the proportionate quanti-
ties. although Death Valley is pro-
dueing excellent material that is in
use in many of the wireless stations

less concerns are trying to tie up the
