Patriotism

A nation is made great not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who
cultivatethen not by the forests, but
by the men who use them; not ny
the mines, but by the ones who work
them; not by its railways but by
the men who build and run them.
America was great land when
Columbus discovered it; Amer-
cans have made of it a great
Nation.
In 1910 our fathers had a Wis ion

ositiou that all men are created

Bright Outlook for Silver

With silver at Ga cents an ounce.
Coloraco is beginning to watch with
great interest Il C market quotations
on the white metal says the Pueblo
Colo. J Star Journal. Silver has
been coming into its own since the
opening of tie European war, but
the price, whilevcry satisfactory com
pared with that of the last few years
is not what it ought to be. The out
look is very promising, however, and
the end of the European warunGoubt-
cdly will witness q more widespread
demand for silver in the money mar-
kcts of the world. Silver ought to in
crease largely in value and it may
not be long before the market quo
tations reach the IS cents an ounce,
perhaps 20 cents.
Every jump taken by 81 .vcr incre-
ses the prospects for great revival
OF silver mining in Colorado. The
output is very COED at pres
cnt, but this branch of mining has
not been devclored to anything like
real capacity in recent years because
oi the low price of silver. Let silver
go to Is cents or higher and there
will he renewed activity in the silver
mining camps OF the state. Creole
ANA other camps will assume old
time aspects, old mines will reopen
and prospectors will get busy locat-
ing new claims,
Mining men and financiers expect
silver to increase in value and the
indications are their belief will be
sustained by future events. With
silver at price that will pay decent
profits to those who. mine it, Colora-
do will its share towards contribut-
ing supply of the metal.

DESERT ROADS ARE IN
EXCELLENT CONDITION

Little damage was done to roads
of this region by the storms of jan
uary and early February and the
roads are now generally in good
shape, according to Munro Brown, Of
the Brown-Parker Auto company,
who makes it a point to keep in close
touch with road conditions. There
is already at hand eviednce that the
present season will witness a large
volume of travel by motor trough
this part of Nevada. The road to
Reno, by way of Tonopah. Nina.
Luning, Rawhide and Fallon is in
fairly good condition for travel,
while the road to Big Pine and
southern California points is now
open. but not yet very smooth. The
roads of southern Nevada are said
to be infinitely better than those
across the California line.

To Wake Survey

A complete survey of the re-

be made by the Reno Commercial
club in the neal future. The COM

will divide into two sections, n
to take the mining and the other
the agricultural and irrigation side
of the work. The exact resources
of the state will be compiled and
made into permanent form for the
use of merchants and business men
and for statistical use throughout
the country. The agricultural work
will specialize in getting informa-'
ton Of the state for the prospective
settler while the mining will aid

VERINE'S
HOIST READY

Superintendent e. S. Dearborn is
in town today from the Wolverine
property, situated a few miles east
of town. For the past couple of
weeks Mr.. Dearborn has been busy
with a crew of men excavating and
preparing the ground for the new
hosting equipment that arrived
from Salt Lake City a few days ago.
This property has been under de-
velopment for a number OF years
by Chris Diess and julius Sigmund,
who are also heavy stockholders ia
the Wolverine company.
The shaft on which the hoist is
to be installed is down So feet and
shows a good sized vein which for a
width of two feet averages $2S to
the ton in sold, silvcr and copper
There are a number of other
openings on the property that have
good showings of ore. 1t is the in
tention of the management, after
the hoist is installed, to start ag-
gressive development on the prop
erty and extract ore for shipment.

LINCOLN
IN BIG VEIN

Frank Wilson. superintendent OF
Vie Nevada Lincoln mine near Won
der, writes to Zeb Ray, assistant
Isecretary of the company, that
Murray Scott has found an ore
shoot in one of the upper VEINS
of the surface and is taking out
good ore. The cross-cut %tunne!,
which is being driven to cut this
vein and another ore on the other
side of the hill. is in mineral;zed
porphyry and going ahead with two
shifts. Wilson believes that this
formation is the footwall of the
vein, which dips away from the
tunnel. The oreshoot which Scott
has located on the surface will
ICE prospected from the tunnel at
greater depth.
Wilson writes that it continues
TO storm in that section and that
Trey had seven inches of snow Mar
9. AS soon as the roads are in con
dition he will send samples from
the new strike.
The Nevada Lincoln was discOv-
cred by Scott and Wi,son in June,

PREPAREDNESS ADVOCATES ASK
What POLICY We SHALL DEFEND
(Spokane Spokesman-R Review

would exact from a country so rich
in wealth and potential resources.
Nothing is more certain than that
Germany or Japan, once it had the
bayonet at our national throat,
would demand an indemnity that
would stagger this country in its
payment.
C%onquering Japan could go fur
Their than Germany. 1t could car
a stupendous war indemnity with
II demand, for example, for the ces-
sion of Alaska. Alaska is substah-
italy wild and u~mpopulated. 1t is
rich in gold, copper and coal, pro-
duets essential to Japan's realiza-
ton of world empire and national
pr osperity. Its fisheries could iced
the Japanese nation for all time.
With Alaska ccded Japan could cas-
II, evict the few thousand Amer
leans now in the territory and be-
come the possessor of an undeye;-
oped empire far greater in area
than the present day empire of Ja-
pan.
With these prizes IN view, a war
indemnity that would instantly en-
rich impoverished Japan and
prospect of taking over the wealth
of Alaska for all time, it would
be folly for the American people TO
assume that Japan would be inca
pable of picking a quarrel with them
over the issue of Japanese exclu
sion, land tenure in the Paciflc
coast states and the admission OF
Japanese to our public schools.
To chuck the Monroe doctrine and
forget the open door in China, as
tie New Republic says, would tend
to relieve future tension and greatly
minimize the risk of war with Ger
many and Japan. But on what in
dication can we build expectation
that either policy will be abandon
ed by the American people? Is II
likely that the Wilson administra-
ton will risk the coming election
On that proposal? Or that the re-
publican party or the p~rogressiVes
under Roosevelt will go before the
country on that issue?
Even though these causes of 20
tential friction could be removed
the United States u~ndefended would
not have dependable insurance
against war. Wars spring from
r,any sources. We went to war with
England a century ago, not over dis
put, about territory. but over OH
rights at sea, chiefly because Eng
lard held to a harsh course OF
search Of American vessels and the
increasing into, her navy of dis
ruted or dual" nationality. Wars
aome from every point of the com
Ass. and frequently from unex
oecied sources and over new and

Likewise a burden. For all Of tIa'
