All Colorado Benefited
By Tungsten

All Colorado las been benefited
by the Impetus given to mining by
the rich discoveries and high prices
of tungsten but the prospect OF a
high price for.silver has infinitely
more possibilities than anything Hnf
tungsten can assure, says the Boulder
County, Colo, Miner. One dollar
silver viii create in hundreds Of
mining districts just sach state of
affaire= a that which exists in the
limited area Of the tungsten fields
Tungsten will yield from IS, 900, coo
to sl0,000,6 600 in the state this year.
One dollar silver viii put the silver
output on a so, 900, 900 basis in six
ty days and the annual output
would probably reach $4,000, ,0OG
in a few months. Great us is the
tungsten industry 20 Boulder county
Just so great would be the silver in.
dustry to twcuy-three counties at
any price above 10 per ounce. We
have not the slightest doubt OF the
imediaIe advance of the price to so or
80 cents and that it Will reach 81 90
fore The end of the year. Such tre-
mendaul enterprises as the pumping
out OF the down town mines Of Lead
viil,in which theU s. Smelling aud
Refining company depending $3.50
600 and in pumping the upper dis
trict IN whicn nearly as large eXpen-
liture is involved, must direct atten-
ton to this possibility of an advance
in the price OF white metal. Such
a concern rs the United States Spelt-
ing company does not spend half a
million dollars upon mere prospect
Of more favorable condition. We
,elieve that the big men of this $50
)00,009 corporation know that such
III advance in silver is iminent.
One dollar silver would make
Colorado the richest spot ontbeearth.

was seen in the further irregular1ty of
prices at the opening. Of tedays stock
market. Leading shares registered
fractional changes, mainly downward,
on moderate dealings, while shares Of
a more speculative character yielded
a point. These recessions were
counterbalanced by similar advances
in miscellaneous issues. United States

within narrow limits, Reading, how
ever, displaying marked firInness.

Board of Charities
May Recommend Two
Ambulances For City

The board Of charities at their meet
ing yesterday afternoon, discussed the
ACCESSIBILITY of petitioning the city for
two new anbulances, and the employ
ment Of two drivers, instead Of one, as
at present This would give each dr1v-
er a II hour working day and would
eliminate the necessity OF the ambu-
lance operator living with his family
at police headquarters.
The great increase in accidents, and
the subsequent number Of runs which
the ambulance makes each day, neces-
states this addition to the Emergency
hospital staff. In a report yesterday
it was stated that the present ambu-
lance has cost the city for repairs thus
far this year $2,5o0, sufficient almost
to buy a new machine.
The department will also try to ar
range for the creation Of municipal
fund for the purpose of assisting dis
charged patients from consumptfve
sanatoriurns, to obtain proper food and
living conditions, preventing their ply
steal decline and frequent return to
consumptive institutions, because Of
their lack Of money.

white Pine Near
EXTINCTION SAYS
FORESTRY EXPERT
Federal and State Legisla-
ton Needed, He Declares,
In Warning

Federal and state legislation, and
public assistance, will be necessary
to save the White Pine Trees of the
United States and Canada, SO Charles
Yathrop Pack, president of the
American Forestry association, noti-
f1es it's members. He said to-day:
Expert Investigation establishes
the fact that the white pine and other
five leaved pines of the United States
and Canada are threatened with ex-
tinction by the white pine blister rust,
a fungus disease, imported from Eu-
rope. Already the disease has been
formed in all the New England states,
most of the eastern and northern
states in the white pine belt and in
Ontario and Quebec provinces. It Is
spreading steadily and unless check
ed will wipe out our white pines valu-
ed at $260,000,00O, as our chestnuts
are being wiped out by the chestnut
blight.
1.-The area east of the Hudson diver
Is generally infected. Whether the
disease can be controlled in that area
or not depends upon whether the cur
rant and gooseberry bushes, on which
the disease propagates and spreads to
the pines, can be eradicated.
Between the Mississippi and the
Hudson rivers we have an area in
fected with SCATTERING infections, but
throughout which the disease may be
controlled and probably suppressed
by the enforcement Of rigid quaran-
tine laws and every possible and
proper precaution. West Of the Mis-
sissippi is an area which as far as is
known Is not yet infected but which
may be infected unless state quaran-
tine laws keep out Of it white pine
seedlings and currant and gooseberry
stock which may be diseased.
TN view Of the Imminent danger
of destruction Of the white pines, the
American Forestry Association will
call upon the governors Of all states
in the white pine belt and the gov
ernEaent Of Canada to send delega-
tons to Washington on January 1s
and 10 to attend a conference at the
annual meeting Of the association to
discuss measures and formulate plans
for fighting the disease, suppressing
it, If possible, and saving the white
pines of the present and Of the flu
ture."

none Of the stolen property was found
on them and they were allowed to go.
According to Lieut.. Cronan, they
fooled the police by first picking out a.
spot near the robbed mansion to bury
their loot, sending confederates to dig
it up afterwards. Detective Sergeant
Leatherland, Of Norwalk, became sus-
picious Of the two men, and could not
find out what business necessitated
their hiring rooms at Norwa1k hotel,
which they occupied only a few days
week.
On investigation he found they had
bank accounts Of $4,000 each in Nor
walk institution, which for a time al
!. layed his suspicious. He finally wrote
to Fall River and was told that both
men were notorious burglars. When
he next visited the hotel they had left
and were thought to have spent part
Of last winter in Florida.
The police say they returned to this
state after a short absence. The rob-
berry Of the Day home at 625 Clinton
avenue was reported and the home
Of e. w. Smith, 500 Clinton avenue,
sansacked. Next homes in the Greens
Farms section were. looted, A. L. Ri
ker's residence robbed Of nearly $4,000
worth OF jewelry, E. T. Bedford's home
visited, D. Fl. Warmers, Greenfield
HiM, and Col. Nichols home in the
same section entered.
A fortune in jewels was taken from
some Of these places. Efforts to rob
the residence of Charles G. Waldo, a
manufacturer of Brooklawn, after cut
ting the electric light wires, leaving
the house in darkness, were frustrated
by the awakening of an elderly woman
relative, who screamed when the rob-
bers flashed an electric pocket lamp
in her face.
A month ago robberies in Pittsfield
resulted in Lieut.. Cronan sending
rogues gallery pictures of the men to
the police of that city, Cronan sus-
peeting these two men of being the
guilty persons and traced them to
Syracuse. He notified the authorities
there to DO on the lookout for the
men, with the, result that they were
arrested two months ago for burglary,
in that city.

New American
Telephone Financing

It has been the policy Of the Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company to pro-
vide in advance for the new capital
required by the steady growth of its
system. Although $50, 200, 900 of two
yeAr-notes were issued and sold by the
subsidiary organizations early in the
present year, there has been no crea-
ZION of capital obligations on a large
scale by the parent company for prac-
tically three years. It is, according
ly, no surprise to find the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company
again applying to the investment mar
ket, but in this instance the amount
OF new securities it proposes to float
is in excess Of any financing the COM
pany has hitherto attempted. The
arrangements announced at the end OF
last week Involves the raising OF no
less than $119,5O0,000. or this am
cunt $4,000, 900 wifi be in tho form Of
additional stock, which is offered for
subscription at par by the present
holdings. This subscription privil-
eye will accrue to stockholders Of rec
ord December II. The larger part
of the new capital viii be supplied,
however, through the sale to bank
ing syndicate ,of So, 5000 OF per
cent. thirty-yeAr collateral trust bonds.
to be secured by stocks and bonds of
the subsfdfary organizations of the sys-
tenn. In explaining the matter of the
new bond issue IL necessary to the ar
rangenent, the management OF the
company says that during the ensuing
year It will be obliged not only to
provide for a normal growth, but will
also have large expenditures for. re-
placements and new construction, pro-
portfoned to the increased demands of
the public upon the corporations SER

AbNORMAL YIELD
OF CROPS PERIL
SAYS H. n. POPE
Over Production Greatest
est Danger to u. S. Agri-
culture, He Declares.

Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 5.--Henry
N. Pope, president Of the Association
OF State Farmers Union Presidents, to-
day issued communication directing
attention Of members Of the Union to
abnorsnal conditions of the 1915 wheat
and cotton crops. Mr.. Pope's COM
niunication says.
,#"Cotton and wheat are our export
crops and both face abnormal condf-
tlf1os, apart from the world war, which
tits well for our farmers to consider.
M.At the beginning OF 1916 we had
Sarplus OF approximately 1e0,o00.00o
Hhshels Of wheat In the granaries and
vators of the United States, This
Srplus added to our 1916 production
Ill 6O7,O00,000 bushels gives us over
10 900, 900 bushels above domes-
&k consumption this year, While it
Unlikely that we viii begin our 1917
narvest with empty granaries. we must
Hot forget that the warning nations
have increased their combined wheat
area since the beginning of the war
almost 20 per cent. and this years
production, taken as whole, is 50
per cent of normal although it is ~
which was an abnormal year.
81, 'The wheat farmers OF this coun--
try, taken as whole. have had q bad
year as the following statistics taken
from the Crop Reporter issued by the
Federal Agricultural Department
show: The 1916 wheat crop will
bring the farmers in the United States
at least $200.0oo.o0o less than the
1915 crop and $1o0.000,000 less than
the 1914 crop. In 1915 we harvest
ed So 1883, 900 acres Of wheat yielding
I,o11, 5O5,O0O bushels for which the
FARMER received $3.50, 900. In 1916
our acreage was reduced to 50,S71s-
900 yielding 500, 900. 600 bushels and to
date rs per cent Of the crop has been
sold off the farms at an average price
OF $1.1s per bushel.
ssThe spectators may have made
fabulous sums out Of wheat this year
but not the farmer. The cotton far
mer has Jared better this year than or
dinarily We have had an unpre-
cedented condition OF two short crops
coming together. Both this year and
last year were eleven-bfllion bale
crops while the average crop yield for
the past I'VE years is 100000 bales
and in 1914 we produced more than
t16, 900, 900 bales. The world war has
caused no noticeable decrease in cot
ton acreage In foreign lands. The
yield OF foreign cotton has for the past
five years been running around 8,000,-
600 bales per annunn.
while it Is the duty of the farmers
TO adequately supply the nations lar
der, over-production would visit upon
the nation an unwarranted calamity
and the farmers should save the coun-
try from such a predicanent. There
is more poverty in six cent cotton and
fifty cent wheat than in any condi-
ton that can be surmised. The great
est peril which confronts American
agriculture to-day is abnormal in
crease in acreage and abnormal yield
