Roumania Throws Strength On
The Side of The Allies In War

| the previous struggle, Rumania again
remained an interested bystander I'm
+. til the closing days of the conflict;
then she threw her weight with Greece
and Serbia in time to demand as her
reward the valuable strip Of Bulgarian
territory lying north and east of line
drawn between Turtukai and Baltchik,
in the Dolrudja degion, between the
Danube and the Black Sea. This prize
added some $500 square miles to he =.
area.
IF, as is reported, Russia has prom
ised the big Balkan state the important
province of Besserabia, which adjoins
It on the northeast, $4,000 square miles
Twill be added to Rumanian domains,
together with two and a half million
kindred people. In addition to this
tempting spoil of diplomacy, it is
highly probable that the Rumanians
will expect Bukowina as their share Of
the 'parangs' in the event the Central
Powers are defeated, for this Austrian
crowdland was part of the Rumanian
province of Moldavia up to 1777, at
which time it was appropriated by the
larger nation. Rumanians still com
prise large percentage of Bukowina' s
population.
'The Rumanian war budget for the
fiscal year ending just prior to the out
break of the war was S2O,OO0,OOO. The
infantry of the standing army is
equipped with the Mannlicher maya
zine rifle Give eartridges), named az
ter the Austrian inventor and much
used in both Austria and Germany. The
horse and field batteries are armed
with Kruppp quick-fring rs millimetre
guns.
"In the transportation OF Russian
troops as well as in handling her own
forces to the Austro-Hungarian and
Bulgarian borders, Rumania's 1900
mile railway system, nearly 50 per
cent. of which is state-owned, would
play an extremely important role, as
!would also that great waterway, the
Danube, which flows out OF Austria
Hungary at the Kazan Pass and in its
eastward course to the Black Sea
forms the navigable southern bound
airy of Rumania for nearly $50 miles.
The 100000 miles of national roads
criss-crossing the country would also
greatly facilitate the despatch OF
troops"

Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in or respectful judy
ment eminently suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the pu5c through the agency Of fair
arbitration and cannot be disposed Of to the public
satisfaction, in any other manner.
The decision Of a Commission or Board Of Arb-
raton having the public confidence will be accepted
by the public and the social and financial rearrange
nents made necessary thereby will be undertaken by
the public but in less deliberate nor orderly
manner.
The railroads of the country cannot under present
conditions assume this enormous increase in their
expenses If imposed upon them. it would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and bank
ruptcy and imperil the power of all to maintain
their credit and the integrity Of their securities
The immediate increase in cost, followed by other
increases that would be inevitable would substan-
tally appropriate the present purchasing power Of
the railroads and disable them from expanding and
improving their facilities and equipment, to keep
abreast OF the demands OF the country for efficient
transportation service.

The demands in this controversy have not been
presented, in judgment for the purpose of fixing
definite daily period of labor, reduction in the
existing hours of labor change in methods of opera

increase in wages of approximately One Hundred
Million Dollars per annun or IS per cent for the

by the labor organizations in this matter

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. g.
What weight Roumania has thrown in
to the scales of war in behalf of the
\ Entente Allies is suggested in the fol-
lowing war geography bulletin issued
today by the National Geographic So
ciety on the resources of this, the
largest of the Balkan nations:
With field army of 100000 men,
thoroughly trained and fully equipped,
and with reserve force of at leas:
100000 additional fighting men. Ru
mania's late entrance upon the great
battlefield of Europe would inevitably
have great weight. But of equal, or
perhaps, even greater Importance to
the Allies would be the fact that this
country's declaration of war against
the Central Powers makes her high
ways and railway systems available
in the moving of an unlimited number
of Russian soldiers to the northern
frontier of Bulgaria and the southeast
ern gateways into Hungary.
In the present struggle it has been
easier on many occasions to secure
men for the firing line than to control
the facilities for transporting them and
to find the necessary food for them at
ter their arrival in the trenches. Ru-
mania possesses the means to solve in
part both these problems.
with an area about equal to that OF
the state of Arkansas, but with pop
ulation nearly five times as great, Ru-
mania is essentially an agricultural
country, producing more wheat in 1915
than Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and
Montenegro combined. It's crop last
year (S9,000O00 bushels) equalled the
joint production of our two fertile
wheat states, Minnesota and Iowa. The
yield of barley, corn, oats and rye is
also large, and during the two years of
war the country has waxed rich play
ing the role of an Egyptian Joseph to
n starving brother nations-the we'll
paying Central Powers.
Before the war the value of Ru-
mania's grain exports exceeded $780,
100000 annually, and second in the
list of her international sales was pc
troleum, valued at nearly $8,000,000 a
year. Her forests, too, are a source
of revenue, for the well-wooded slopes
OF the Carpathians, which form the
western boundary between Rumania
and Hungary yield excellent oak.
beech, pine and fir, the exports being
valued at $5,OOo,OOo.
"Rumania is famous for it's salt
mines and could supply all Europe
with this commodity for hundreds OF
years. In some mines the beds are
from 900 to $50 feet thick and at Sa,
rat there is salt mountain whose
sides are quarried with electric ma
chimes which cut out blocks each a GU
bic yard in size, while the fragments
are scooped up in steam shovels.
"The precedent of her success in
choosing the right moment to join in
the Balkan imbroglio of 1918 would
seem to have had considerable infiu-
ence in prompting Rumania's waiting
policy in the present instance. This
country remained aloof in the first Bal.
kan war Q912). During the second
war, when Bulgaria, Serbia and Greco,
were fighting over the spells which
had been wrested from the Turks in

effort is required for the public welfare would be
harmful beyond calculation.
The widespread effect upon the industries of the
country as whole is beyond measure or appraise-
ment at this time and we agree with the insistent and
widespread public concern over the gravity Of the
situation and the consequences Of surrender by the
railroads in this emergency.
In like manner we are deeply impressed with the
sense of our responsibility to maintain and keep open
the arteries Of transportation which carry the life
blood of the commerce of the country and of the
consequences that will flow from even temporary
ssues,presented have been raised above and beyond
the social and monetary questions involved, and
the responsibility for the consequences that may
arise will rest upon those that provoke it,

Trustees for the Public

As trustees for the public served by our lines and
for the great of the less powerful employees not
less than 50 per cent of the whole number interested
in the railroad wage fund-as trustees also for the
millions of people that have invested their savings and
capital in the bonds and stock of these properties
and who through the saving banks, trust companies
and insurance companies are vitality interested to the
extent Of millions of dollars in the integrity and
sovency of the railroads of the country cannot in
conscience surrenderwithout hearing, the principle
involved undertake to transfer the enormous cost
that will result to the transportation of the commerce
Of the country.
The eight-hour day without punitive overtime
involves an annual increase, approximately in the
aggregate of Sixty Millions of Dollars and increase
of more than 20 per cent. in the pay of the men,
already the most highly paid in the transportation
service.

in this manner of the principle under contention

Loses Homestead
When Gold Is Struck

GLEASON, Ariz., June 22.-Gold-
bearing quartz has been found in a
well being driven on the farm Of l..
M. Brown. two miles southeast of Glea-
son. Because he was absent when the
discovery was made, Brown has lost his
well and the chances are that he will
lose his homestead. The entire place is
now plastered with mineral locations.
Two drillers were putting down the
well under contract and Brown was
building roads for the county. The
drillers noticed that the drill was work
ing in 2 formation that looked like it
might be mineralized. They had assays
made and learned that the quartz car
ried gold. The drillers then filed
several locations. News Of the discov-
cry was pretty well spread around be-.
fore Brown heard of it. When he reach
ed his place he found that over so To-
cations, covering his homestead and
surrounding, had been made.
The drill entered the quartz at 80
feet. It is now down 2SO feet and in
the same formation.

REPORT
ON DUNDEE IS
ENCOURAG| INC

Highly encouraging to stockholders
is the monthly report of W. E. Deity,
consulting engineer of the Dundee Ari-
zona Copper company. All the equip
ment is in position and henceforward
he development of this promising prop
erty, which is on the "hogback" just
out of Jerome. will proceed rapidly.
Continuous sinking of the shaft has
commenced by hand drilling and this
will be continued until sufficient depth
is attained clear of the .timbering to
insure safety in the use of air drills, .
says Engineer Deity in his report" The
shaft for 2O2 feet is in limestone and
three feet in red sandstone, with slips
and gouges in the latter mainly charg-
ed with spar
"The intended shipment of ores to
the Humboldt smelter is delayed at
least sixty days on account of the
destruction of the sampling works
there. However, all energy will be con-
centrated on the sinking of the shaft
65 feet from the collar of the shaft
"This station" says Engineer Deity,
'is at the point of the upper strata of
conglomerate ore. A drift has been
continued from the station eight feet
west and six feet in width. Both the
sides of the station and drift, and in
the face Of the latter; the conglomerate
ore shows an average width of five
feet, with ore showing in roof and
floor at the face. The ore extracted
from this working is on the dump. The
ore is large and of better appearance
at this point than at any other"
In reviewing the improvements made
during the last 80 days the engineer
mentions the installation of a main
gasoline storage tank; completion of a
substantial gallows frame that will be
able to serve a second compartment if
it is found necessary to~enlarge the
shaft; installation of horsepower
gasoline hoist ON solid concrete foun-
dation; compressor bolted into posi-
ton on concrete foundation; drain
bitches around the works. all shaft
timbering completed, bucket guides
bolted in place from head frame to bot
tom of shaft; air pipe strung from

BLACK REEF TO
SINK To DEPTH
WITHOUT DELAY

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 22.-Prelimin-
ary applications for stock in the Black
Reef Copper company are now being
filled, as the corporation commission
has authorized the sale of 100000 shares
at 25 cents in order to raise a develop
ment fund.
The Black Reef company has received
much attention from investors because
1t owns one of the most attractive
prospects in Cunningham pass, north
OF Wenden. 1t is pointed out that not
one of Cunningham pass prospects has
failed to make good under development
and the hackers of the Black Reef be-
lieve that their proposition looks as
good as did any of the mines of that
section before they were developed.
The surface showing is much the same
as the Desert, which it adjoins.
A hoist and other machinery are now
being installed at the main shaft of
the Black Reef group, which is down
120 feet. The plan Of development is
to sink this shaft to depth without de-
lay. 1t is all in ore that runs well up
in gold and copper and it is expected
that every pound Of rock taken out
can be shipped.
Water is hauled from Wenden for all
the mines in the vicinity Of the Black
Reef. The main shaft Of the Black
Reef, however, makes 35 barrels of good
water every "a hours. This will great
ly facilitate and cheaper development.
