All this growing primarily out of
/ the fact that Russia did not under
stand the United States and the
United States did not understand Rus
I sia
How could Russia think the United
States was sincere in the war when
I the Russian public was told every
I day that this country was ruled alb
solutely by the munition makers. who
mad driven the gOverI mcnt into war
TO get fat contracts, and having Sc
cured these, We're about to make
/ peace? How could Russians believe
T the United States was in earnest
when they heard on every hand as
surances that the american people
We're opposed to the war and had
been forced into it by thci- despotic
rulers; What impression would Rus
sia naturally get when thousands of
. agents ran about quoting the words
of traitorous Americans as the real
voice Of the American people. and
when all these lies went without re-
futation?
The thing TO inspire Russia was the
spectacle of the American republic,
absolutely united, absolutely deter
mined to wage TO the end this right
eous war, her unselish motives un-
derstoOd. the fact well known that
she had nothing to gain but the lib
erty Of mankind.
Instead Of this. ninety-nime in every
hundred Russians believe that the
,, United States entered the war merely
tO make nd Io
ment she thinks she has made money
enough. Almost as many Russians
believe that the people of the United
States are divided about the war, the
overwhelming majority being against
it.
Either Americans Or Ours.
On the other hand, two-thirds of the
newspapers of the United States have
pictured Russia as in a state of Wild
est anarchy and chaos, and the Rus
sian people as utterly unfit for the
democracy they have undertaken to
set up.
What was required for the solution
of the heavy problems confronting
the United States and Russia was a
close understanding, warm sympathy
and practical working co-operation.

such cooperation and sympathy, and

faction in the catastrophe they have
helped to pull down, but it should be
otherwise with the editors. Their
share in the mischief has been due to
prejudice. lack of information and the
fixed habit of taking foreign dispatches
without analyzing them. Having
helped. nevertheless, to get us into
this appalling situation, they ought
now to tell us what they think of
their work and what they propose

Meantime. the rest of us NAV as
well come out of any trance we may

The situation is of the utmost possi-

WHO KNOWS DEFINITION
OF "CHINCH BUG"'

Just what a "chinch bug" may be
we are not in a position to state.
but some GOldfieldite seems to have
enlightened a paper in st. Paul,
Minnesota, regarding the definition.
And to make the whole affair more
mysterious this resident wrapped
the "chinch bug" in a copy of the
Tribune published during those days
when the district was without power
and naturally the paper appeared in
miniature form.
Now just listen to what this st.
Paul paper had to say regarding
the "chinch bug" in particular and
the Tribune in general: Zone way
to get picked in a dry town is to
become a chinch bug and be sub
merged in alcohol constantly. Cloyd
Smith, manager of the Oppenheimer
cigar store, recently received a
chinch bug preserved in alcohol
from Goldfield, Nevada. The bug
Is about the size of a full grown
tarantula, but has smaller legs. With
the bug Mr.. Smith also received a
copy of the Goldfield Tribune which
consists of one sheet, similar to an
auction bill, except that it has mat
ter on both sides.

NEW ORE VEIN IN
ROCHESTER MINES
TRAMWAY FOR TRANSFORM.
TION OF ORE SOON WILL
BE COMPLETED

Development work at the Roches-
ter Mines company's property in the
Rochester district last week uncov-
cred a new vein, according to Off
cial announcement made Saturday.
The new vein has never before
been ~prospected, or known to exist,
and is an important addition to the
ore reserve on the cOmpany's pro-
perty.
Some time ago We started an up
raise on the 250-foot level to con
meet with the surface for develop
ment and ventilation purposes"
said a statement from the manage
ment.
This raise broke through to the
surface and to our surprise in adj
ditiOn to developing many thou
sands of tons of ore to Il reser-
YES, it has practically demonstrated
that there exists within the con
fines Of the Rochester Mines pro-
perty another new vein.
1--WE have large o~utcroppings of
mineraliZed quartz rock near our
east side lines, which we expect to
penetrate in driving this raise,
however, the raise came to the
surface on a vein forty feet west
of this large m~ineralized cropping
which gives us all the reasons in
the world to believe that there is
another vein ore body.
GAS soon as the opportunity per-
E,its we will start a cross-cut to
our easterly cropping in order 10
demonstrate and prove that there
exists another vein from which no
ore whatever has been taken out, up
to the present time"
The worst of the cold weather IS
now over, and the difficulties, which
were experienced in getting the ore
transported from the mine to the
mill have largely been overcome,
and in the meantime construction
OF the new aerial tramway is going
forward with great rapidity. 1t
will not be long before the COM
pany will be able to transport their
ore for d distance of more than
two miles at a surprisingly low cost
with the new automatic equipment
being installed.-Humboldt Star.

Mr.. and Mrs. Irving Brokaw, the
society couple who r known in
America and Europe for their skill
in figure skating on the ice, had
a large skating party at their place
at Millneck, on Long Island. The
ice was in perfect condition and
the air was crisp enough to make
the sport ideal for those who in
dulged in it. The guests were from
various colonies on Long Island and
from New York.
Music was furnished for the dane
ing and figure skating by a hurdy
gurdy, which was played by Mr..
Brokaw and all the guests, or most
Of them, in turn.

Recruiting Sergeant Samuel Hen
derson of the United States army

II, located in postoffices in county
seats and larger towns and in
charge of postmasters.
Sergeant Henderson states that
recruiting in Nevada is progressing
favorably, but that, in common with
other parts of the country, all re
cruits want to join the aviation corps
and learn to fly. giving as their
only, and to them sufficient, quail
fication that they do not weigh
