NATIONAL LEASING
IS A SPECULATION

National Leaing stock sold at J6
cents share a fortnight ago on the
New York curb, and had final of %
cents on Saturday week ago. 1t
sold up to 80 cents q share during the
past week and enjoyed a close on
Saturday of 25 cents.
This stock represents ownership of
a five-year lease on the Charleston
Hill property, adjoining the famous
National mine, which produced FROM
$4,000, 1000 to 100000 in high-grade
ore within a few years. The National
vein. IL is known, penetrates the Ma
tional Leasing Company's ground for
a considerable distance.
The National Leasing Company re-
Gently leased the entire equipment of
the National Mines Company, and is
now drifting on the National vein on
the 800-foot level of the National
Mines Company. being headed directly
into National Leasing Companys
ground.
Progress is being steadily made in
the drift, but no ore disclosures have
as yet been reported. /: is too soon
to expect any. Work was started less
than three weeks ago.
The recent advance in the price of
National Leasing stock is based not
only on the expectation of successful
exploration of the National vein in
National Leasing Company ground,
but on the fact that by its lease on
the National Mines property IL has
secured an operating equipment which
enables the company to explore Its
ground at depth in quick order. there
by Fastening the time when results
may be expected.
The National vein has produced in
National Mines Company ground some
of the richest ore that was ever taken
out of any gold mine in the history
OF the world. A good deal of it nett d
$3.50 a pound.
The National Leasing Company was
incorporated for 100000 shares, of
which less than 100000 shares have
been issued. A million shares of the
treasury stock were not long ago
less 5 per cent underwriting commit
sion. This is the money which has
been made available for mine develop
ment.
The National Leasing Company
few weeks ago took over from tae
National Mines Company a large
quantity of mine supplies, for which
IL paid lump sum in cash, and 1t is
paying the National Mines Company
a monthly rental of s2.50O for the use
of its equipment. Besides this. 1t is
defraying the cost of its own mine
operation
At the present rate of expenditure
IL will cost the National Leasing Corn
pany close to 100000 per annum for
exploration and development
National Leasing Company shares
are purely a speculation at this time,
but speculation of an extraordinary
kind, for the reason that in the event
OF success the prize will probably be
valued in the many millions.

Weighed and delivered at Reno
The market for provisions is de-
cidedly active and further advances
have taken place on all pork cuts.
The advance in the hog market may
be expected to continue for some
time yet and prices will undoubtedly
remain as high as at present for d
long time to come.
1t is apparent that there is a seri-
Gus shortage of live hogs in Nevada,
and farmers who first take advantage
of this situation and arrange to in-
crease their herds will reap profit.
The butter market has been fair
and the demand is greater than the
supply. Butter fat delivered in Reno
brings 4S cents. This is a record
breaking price for this season of the
year.
The market for fat steers continues
weak.
Fat cows are in large supply and
decidedly weaker.
Spring lambs are considerably
stronger and the price tendency is
upward.
The wool market is not showing
any great activity in the East; values
remain the same. The mills seem to
be holding off and will not commit
themselves for any extended line until
government representatives have fin
shed going over stocks recently Of
iered them.
The market for hides is decidedly
weak and a decline has taken place
to the extent of two or three cents
per pound during the past week

shall be somewhat at the mercy Of the
weather. After doing our best, we shall
yet have to trust in q measure to luck.
This meeting will be followed, at a
time not yet fixed, by one when the gov
ernors of all the states will assemble
in Washington on the invitation Of the
President to discuss with him other
problems relating to the war. The sug-
gestion came from Gov. Cox of Ohio,
and was promptly accepted by the
President, who in his letter of accept
ance complimented its timeliness and
value.
In war matters the country looks to
the, national government for leadership
and results. And yet the states retain
many of their powers, and by co-opera-
ton and judicious use of them can
greatly promote national action and sup
plement national achievement. That all
of them are DESTROYS of doing this is
to be assumed, and that very material
benefit will come of the conference over
which the President will preside we may
all be sure. The pull is for all, and all,
with energy, should pull together.

The School superintendent.

Resolutions have been adopted by the
Board of Trade, the Central Labor
Union and other organizations of citi-
zens expressive of desire for the
prompt reelection to his Office of Su-
perintendent Thurston, the present head
of the school system of the District.
These resolutions are timely as indica-
tions of public sentiment in the com
munity in view of the fact that the term
of the superintendent expires with the
current fiscal year, and of the desirable
ity of assuring continuance in Office of
the capable school chief before that
time.
The Star regards as important con-
tinuation of present conditions in the
schools without disruption and friction.
The teaching body should be permitted
to continue to perform their duties IN
the classrooms without disturbance or
needless changes Of administration.
Washington has suffered from expert
ments in the superintendency in the
past, and wants no more experiences of
the same kind. tranquility is the es-
sential element in school work, and it
cannot be had with constant shiftings
and requirements at the head of the
system. Continued progress along sound
educational lines cannot be secured
from repeated substitutions of admins
trative heads.
The District schools are today in bet
ter shape than for years. They have
had three and half years of steady
progress under capable leadership. No
reason exists for change, and the early
reelection of Superintendent Thurston
is desirable as an assurance to the
teachers and the parents of the city that
no change is contemplated. The in
dorsements of the present school admin
istration which have already found ex-
preston are but examples of the gen.
eral feeling which today prevails in the
District regarding the school admins
tration.

turning for their express benefit, but
the everyday action of industrial centsrs
and agricultural reaches will give them
an adequate idea Of the possessions and
possibilities Of the United States.
It is to be regretted that their limited
time will prevent journey across the
continent. There is so much to be seen
in the far west-so much so thoroughly
American-that even hurried personal
inspection would have been both profita-
BILE and enjoyable.
And by that means the visitors would
have arrived at the fullest appreciation
Of what is meant by the waving Of one
flag from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It
was a foreign visitor who, in America
for the first time, had reached st. Louis
travelling from New York to San Fran
cisco and was asked if he was going
west. "Heavens!" he exclaimed. "A
thousand miles from the sea, and asked
if I'm going west!"
When these distinguished Frenchmen
return home they will be able to report
on not only the assurances Of assistance
received, but on their observations as
to the ability Of America to redeem her
promises. They are both hearing and
seeing much. Their receptions are
marked by every evidence of cordially
and welcome. And these manifestations
will appear wherever they 60. They are
among friends.
The visit will be long remembered by
them and by their hosts. 1t is so nota-
BILE it stands out even at time when
great acts are being staged everywhere,
and all the world is aroused to the high
est state of feeling and excitement And
when the curtain descends-when the
grim tragedy is overland peace is re-
stored, they should make second visit
and see us under peaceful skies and cir
cumstances.

The Golfers, Bit.

Uncle Sam needs tiIlers of the soil
this summer as never before. He wants
people at work on the farms who can
dig and hoe and rake. He wants intel
ligent, able bodied labor engaged in the
production of food. Every American
has now been called upon to do his bit.
If he cannot fight he can work If he
cannot work in munitions factory he
may work on farm.
There are several hundred thousand
ardent golfers in the United States.
Some of them are only casual golfers,
but many are habitual, persistent, sys-
tematic golfers. They spend in the
course of year the equivalent of sew
eral weeks on the links. They are in
search of exercise. Entertainment is in
eidental.
Why should not the golfers of Amer
lea turn to and put their trained mus
.les to service in food productions They
are accustomed to swinging clubs, and
the transition from putter to a rake,
or from driver to hoe or a mashie to
a spade would be easy. Some of them
are already versed in agriculture, as a
long trail of divots across the green's
testifes.
Those who find golf wholesome ex-
ercise will find farming even better. It
is perhaps little more strenuous, but
this is an age Of progress as well as an
age of efficiency. In the conservation
of energies demanded by the war as
suredly this opportunity to put an army
of well muscled men at work along lines
of already acquired proficiency should
not be neglected.

May Day in Germany.

May day is perennial nightmare in
Europe. In times of peace 1T has for
years been the day of disturbance and
doubt. of demonstrations by the discon-
tented, of demands by workmen. For
the past two years, however, this day
has not been marked by serious out
breaks Of industrial dissatisfaction ow-
ing to the prevalence of war, yet in
Germany today conditions are believed
TO be gravely disquieting to the govern
ment owing to the prevalence of strikes
proclaimed in advance and designed as
protests against the continuance of the
war.
All doors are closed through which in
formation may come as to what is hap
I pening in Germany today. The Swiss,
Dutch and Danish frontiers have been
effectively sealed against exit. In some
! parts of Germany the publication of
newspapers has been suspended. Every
fprecaution has been taken to keep news
from getting out of the empire and even
from spreading from one part of Ger
many to another.
There is no expectation among Ger
many's enemies that these May day out
breaks will actually change the policy
of the government or compel the insti-
tuition of peace measures. The sternest
means of repression will doubtless be
adopted to check the demonstration and
to compel the resumption of work in the
munitions factories, where the loss of
single day seriously handicaps the ar
mics. In case of need the government
can place all industrial establishments
directly under military control and en-
roll the workmen as soldiers subject to
military discipline.
The real seriousness Of the case from
general point Of view lies in the de-
velopment of spirit Of protest That
wonderful obedience to the governments
will, which has been Germany's main
source Of strength, has been shaken.
The war evidently is no longer popular
The people are suffering acutely from
privations as well as the personal losses
they have sustained. They are not get
ting enough to eat. They can see moth
ing ahead of them but continued sor-
row and distress. They are beginning
to lose faith in the German might. Per-
haps the truth of American interven-
tion has reached them. The example of
Russia, realizing a new freedom in the
enidst Of war, has Influenced them. They
realize their power, for upon them, the
men in the mills. today depends Ger
niany's military salvation. The govern
nient cannot shay them by wholesale in
punishment or imprison them indefinite
~, for they are needed, hour by hour, in
the factories that make the shells and
powder for the armies
However May day may pass, it is a
day of bitterness for the German au-
tocraey.

prevent it. The large majority of high
officials themselves know no more But

American Lives Taken by Germany

American lives have now been lost in
war. Ten United States sailors, one an
officer, have persisted on a merchant
man flying the American flag armed by
a naval gun and crew. The ship was
sunk by German submarine without
warning. The vessel was in the pre-
scribed zone north of Ireland, and
doubtless the Berlin government con-
siders that there is no difference what
ever between an armed and an unarmed
merchantmen save to make the former a
more logical victim of undersea attack
Berlin will probably not acknowledge
the sinking of the Vacuum and the de-
struction of the lives Of Americans wear
ing the national uniform as an act of
war. The German view is doubtless still
that the United States placed itself in a
position to be thus injured by insisting
upon arming its merchantmen with
that this government has by formal en-.
actment declared to the world that a
state of war exists by reason of German
aggressions and offenses against the
American rights it makes but little diff
ference what the Berlin government
claims regarding the relations between
the two countries. War exists and Ger
many has made war, made it hong be-
fore the American declaration, and the
loss of these lives is but another item
in the long list of injuries inflicted upon
this country.
