prominent Americans who
were anxious to see war avert
ed, and as a result of these
conferences he decided to
make final appeal for peace
to the German people and gov
ernment through the columns
of the Cologne Gazette. He
did not work in secret, but on
the contrary, submitted his
message to Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and that official
had it transmitted to Germany
by government controlled
wireless operators.
In his appeal DR.. Barthelme
said: "My informants assure
me most emphatically that the
people of this country are not
for war, and will be for war
only when forced into it. Only
certain very small circles are
clamoring for hostilities, but
huge majorities are praying
for peace with honor. l feel it
my solemn duty to inform you
about these sentiments and of
the opinion entertained by
men of highest standing and
noblest character"
Germany Urged to Concede
The doctor proceeded to
urge the German government
to "avoid everything which
would make the, maintenance
of friendly relations impossi-
ble"-to refrain from destruc-
ton of American ships and to
make it clear that Germany's
submarine warfare would be
confined within the narrowest
limits compatible with military
necessities"
He made other suggestions
along the same conciliatory
lines, and so great is his infu-
ence, that his government i'm
mediately adopted many Of his
ideas and endeavored to re-
sumo negotiations with this
country through the Swiss min
ister. President Wilson re-
iected these advances, and l
have no disposition to question
the wisdom of his decision.
DR.. Barthelme, so far as the
record shows, was not guilty
of the slightest improperly.
Apparently he was actuated
by a sincere desire to prevent
a break between his country
and ours. He addressed a
truthful, manly appeal to his
people and it was needed in
part by his government, but it
did not satisfy our govern
ment.
l believe he is entitled to the
thanks of the American peo-
pie, not to their kicks. Yet
some of these Eastern papers
insist on treating the doctor
like an unconvicted criminal
and apparently some of the
minor officials of the State De-
partment would have well
coined an opportunity to give
him his passports. Fortunate
ly, our foreign policy is not de-
termined by the minor officials
of the State Department and
the President and his advisers
are not prepared to father the
doctrine that the man who
raises his voice for peace is a
public malefactor who should
be sent to Jail or driven out of
the country.
| believe now is the time to
sanely discuss every phase of
our quarrel with Germany. In
that way we can get the facts
before the people and the. Con-
gress, and the latter will be
prepared to render an intelli-
gent decision on the question
of declaring war. If that dec
laration should be made-and
God forbid consideration of
the facts will be impossible,
for every American will stand

PARTIAL DICTIONARY OF
ATTITUDES FOR NEVADA

Bulletin 654 of the United States
Geological Survey, Department of
the Interior, which shows the re-
suits of spirit leveling in Nevada
during the last 20 wears, has just
been published, and a copy will be
sent free to anyone applying to the
Dictator of the Survey at Wash
ington, d. c.
This book gives the exact eleva-
ton of about 1000 points in Me-
vada, where special marks have
been established, consisting of metal
tablets cemented in rock or of iron
posts that are firmly fixed in the
ground. Engineers and others who
are preparing to make special sur
veys should get this bulletin and
use these bench marks as starting
points or as tie points in their
work.
The bulletin includes an appendix
which should be of more than mo-
mentary interest to the merely cur
ious as we'll as to the seeker after
information, for it gives the
approximate elevation of about a
hundred towns, mining camps,
passes, and mountain tops in the
state. The lowest point in the
state is 40 feet above sea level
the surface of Colorado River; the
highest is the east peak of the
White Mountains, which stands at
an elevation of 1915 feet.

'tP
the company has continued it's stop
ing operations there as we'll as in
the Desert Queen workings, without
interruption and under practically
the same conditions that have in
variably been reported in recent
weeks.
Cash Boy Cons.
Substantiating the promises made
previously, the Cash Boy Consolidat-
ed Mining company is now engag-
ed in stopping ore from the big vein
at both the east and west drifts,
and in consequence the tonnages are
mounting rapidly. Unfortunately,
the car situation has not been re-
lieved to any great extent, and the
company is handicapped by it's in
ability to procure sufficient cars to
haul away the ore that is piled up
in the bins. 1t is expected, however,
that this condition will be remedied
within the near future, which will
allow the company to make more
frequent shipments to the smelter at
Keswick, California.

Everything at the MacNamara
mine and mill is running satisfac-
torily, according to the latest re-
port. New exploration work, In the

body, and since being commenced
is making good progress. Else
where in the mine the conditions
are about the anne as previously re-
ported, all the slopes and develop
ment workings showing the. same
satisfactory aspects as mentioned
III prior weeks.
The ore treated at the mill dur
ing the week amounted to 470 tons,
the mill having been idle for one
whole day while the millmen were
putting a new lining in the tube
mills. The daily average, therefore,
vas nearly so tons, the maximum
claimed by the company.
West End Cons.
The scope of development IN the
Ohio vein in the West End Consoli-
dated Mining company's western
area is constantly being enlarged
by means of drifts running in vari-
Gus directions along its course and

the vein is being pierced by such
workings ore of exceptionally good
grade is continuing to be disclosed.

There has been no slackening of
development plans in the North
Star, and considerable satisfaction
is expressed by the management in
the progress that was made during
the past week. The main raise
from the 1050-foot level has devel-
oped a better width of good grade
ore as it approaches the level above.
The other workings have progressed
as usual, with conditions about the
same as previously reported.

whose husband Is a miner, hastily
daubed the tears from her eyes at
the recollection Of the two days and
nights OF agonized waiting. and of the
joyful news which was then brought
to her that the bloodhounds had found
her nitle girl still safe in the care Of
Bob.
For Ellen and Bob were resting at
the front Of Copper Rock when the
hounds and the leaders OF the search.
ing party came upon them after a con-
tinuous hunt Of almost as hours.
The two we're IL miles from home

Bob's nose was full OF porcuplne

He handed the leashes over to a
sturdy veteran miner.
In less than four hours he fell down
a 50-foot cleft IN the rocks and was
seriously injured. The dogs were in

when they found the lost girl.
The bloodhounds were rushed to
the Sugarloaf district by auto 100
miles from Colorado Springs. after "a
hours Of searching had failed.
Every mine and mil in the district
was closed so the friends OF Mike
Grimes might give their entire time
to looking for the girl.
After the hunt had continued FOR q
day the searchers became so certain
they would find the little girl-either
lifeless or in a serious condition-if
at all-that they summoned a physi.
clan from Boulder and kept him with
them for emergency services.
