service as the only solution of the
problem of preparedness. Mr.. Bacon
spoke on international Obligations"
and he drew a lesson Of the lack of
consideration. shown by Germany in
violating the treaties with neutral ma
tions-
Col. Roosevelt's letter declared the

q week. He was an ill-humored, taci-

if he might have ride with him, and
being somewhat talkative, asked many
questions along the way. At last the
old man said: "Im tired of your talk.

The passenger subsidized.
After driving an hour or two in
silence the old carrier discovered that
his mail pouch was missing. He

Durango, Colo.-Terrific ayalanches,

lives and forced the suspension of op-
erations in many mines, are responst-
BILE for one OF the richest mining
strikes in the history of this section.
Tungsten ore running $4,000 to the
ton has been uncovered and men who
fled the snowswept camps in fear OF

According to District Judge w. N.
Searcy, Silverton miners, prospecting
along Cement creek, saw a boulder,
ten feet in diameter, which had been
carried down by slide and had split
on striking the bottom of the gulch,
exposing a six-foot black streak.
The streak, says the report, proved
to be tungsten assaying IS per cent
pure, and said to have market value
of $4,000 ton at present prices.
Mining men say this discovery
would mean a body Of the richest
tungsten over found.
A tungsten fever that is said to
overweight the fear Of avalanches is
reported at Silverton. Claims have
been located for twelve miles along
Cement creek, on Boulder and Sultan
mountains, and up the side gulches.
Miners driven to Silverton by mines
closed on account of the snow have
joined the rush. Other miners are
reported to have left the La Plata dis
trict on snowshoes, defying slides in
the forty-mile trip to Cement creek.
Occasional new damage to mining
properties Is reported from slides, but
SO far no deaths have been reported.
The ore house of the Jumbo mine
was carried distance of several thou
sand feet and buried deep under an
avalanche.
A slide in La Plata cafion has GOV.

held prisoner. So many slides are run
