Tom Reed hiuh Grade


 Ever since the development of the Bald Eagle ore body, by the Tom Reed Gold Mines Co., there have been reports of high grade ore being taken out and sold. One shipment was lost in transit and the shipper formerly employed at the Tom Reed, had the truck driver arrested. The case fell through and the complaint ant disappeared.
 This week Paul Kowel, employed as hoist man at the Aztec was charged with larceny, the alleged theft having consisted in taking several pounds of ore from the Bald Eagle workings worth $500 per pound or at the rate of $10,00O per ton. The ore was found in his possession. He was released on bail but failed to show up for preliminary examina- tion

NEW WRITING TOOL
 NOT PENCIL NOR PEN
(Popular Science)

A writing implement composed of d mixture of wax and finely ground pumice stone. containing particles of ink, has been invented by William c. Geer, of Akron, Ohio. to take the place of ordinary and fountain pens, pen cils, crayons and all other writing im- plements.
 As the body of the new writing de- vice is composed of mixture of wax and pumice stone, which is easily worn away when rubbed against d paper surface, the inventor claims that the cells of ink intermixed with the wax and pumice stone will also. be liberated, giving a uniform supply of ink.
 The device is made by mixing the wax, pumice stone and ink together. When it is heated to the proper tenn perature it is suddenly immersed in cold water. This chills and solidifies the wax mixture, producing a body having regular structure, each cell being filled with ink.

During the recent convention of state geologists and directors of bureaus of mines held in Washington, D. C.. ways and means were discussed for increasing the production of the minerals necessary for warfare, which are now being imported, and thus re- lieving a large tonnage of ships.
 Manganese is one of the most i'm portant of these minerals. We are importing yearly from Brazil 400, 900 tons of this mineral, using a large number of ships, when ships are at a premium and when there is plenty of manganese in this country to supply the demands. In the matter of man. ganese alone, enough ships could be released to keep 30,000 soldiers in France supplied with food, ammuni- tion and supplies.
 Arizona is regarded as one of the most promising fields for the develop ment of manganese Dr. F. L. Ran some of the United States geological survey recently made a trip through the state making a survey of the manganese resources. Dr. Ransome is one of the foremost geologists of the country, and has written a num- Der of the bulletins of the survey which have had great bearing upon

against extensive military Intervention
in Russia at present, has had n dis
couraging effect upon former Premiers
Lvoff and Kokovsoff and other promi-
nent Russians, who are now In confer

tho fact that they did not expect an i'm

cause OF the lack OF uniecation Of the
forces opposed to the Bolsheviki and
the inability of the remote provisional
governments to coordinate their move

CONGRESS OPPOSES
US. RAILOWNERSHIP


and the President have been in long
distance communication for several
days on the subject OF his successor
and 1t is possible that the new Direc-
tor-General will be named tomorrow.
Announcement of the Presidents
choice may occasion some surprise in
view OF the fact that he is a man lit
tie mentioned for the place.
Mr.. McAdoo expects to leave public
life the first Of the year, as soon as
his successor qualities for his duties.
He expects to put in n day or two
with the new man.
The new Director General will as
sumo the post under many difficult
ties, not the least of which is the
uncertainty as to the future OF the
railroads. II is generally believed the
present control will cease within a
few months and this is having its
effect upon railroad morale all down
the line. Operating officials OF the
railroads, many Of whom at heart
have felt a divided allegiance under
Government control despite their 10y
atty TO the Railroad Administration,
are in an uncomfortable position.
Even Owners Are Undecided.
Mr.. McAdoo has been striving to
keep the pressure on" but uncer-
tainty Is being reflected No one
knows just where or how the roads
are going and in many instances even
the owners OF the roads are OF I'M
certain mind as to what IL best 10 do.
Should the railroads be turned back
to their owners. as is threatened by
the President in the event that the
present Congress fails to act, the new
Director will have many diff
cult questions on his hands. The
agreement with the roads provides
that they shall be returned an good
condition" This phrase is elastic and
susceptible to varying definition.
Whether 1t will cover competitive traf-
! fic lost, ticket offices closed and loss
OF exclusive use of terminals and other
facilities may be brought UP. It Is
possible that equipment ordered by
the Railroad Administration may be
/ questioned and its ALLEGATION made an
| issue.
A majority of the so-called rental
agreements, the contracts between the
Railroad Administration and the differ.
ent roads, have not yet been signed. I;
is suggested that attorneys may find
in this situation much subject for con-
test on final settlements.
! Director General McAdoo is CON
WINGED that further constructive work
cannot be done without assurance OF
reasonable permanency OF Govern
ment control. and his successor will be
in the position in many respects OF
taking up the death watch and help
ing to alleviate the griefs OF all the
relatives. He will not have the bene-

sacrifice anything TO win.

Many Of the main details OF the

Ebert Is Popular.

Friedrich Ebert, the present Pre-
mier, personally has immense popu-
larity and prestige. He is not an
object OF hero worship In any
way, but owing to his conspicuous
honesty and sanity he possesses the
confidence OF all parties in Germany
in really remarkable degree which
no other man can hope TO achieve. As
a candidate for the Presidency Of a
German republic he could have no Sc
rious competition. All parties. except
the very extreme Right and Left, will
support him.
There are abundant signs, however,
Of a rapid revival Of non socialist lib-
eralism. There Is a strong feeling
even in the Socialist party itself that
a purely Socialist Government Is UNI
desirable because 1t would probably
be unable TO obtain financial credit
abroad. which every German recog-
ntzes as the foremost OF the country s
necessities.

Correspondence Associated Press)
French Front. Feb. 25.-How the
Germans prepare TO resist an assault
by the allied troops, who continually
harry them along the entire front. is
Just fallen into the hands of the
French. This paper points out that
it is necessary to be prepared for
every eventuality and to establish
in advance ample dumps OF ammuni-
ton for several days fighting for
the field and position guns as we'll as
for the trench mortars, since it must
be expected that the allies will, in
case the operation should be on a
big scale. employ poison gas in
large quantities and at the same
time put up barrage fire between
the German front lines and their
communications with the rear.
The essential reserve of ammuni-
ton for the trench mortars Is laid
down at $50 projectiles for each
light mortar; 80 projectiles for each
trench mortar of middling calibre,
and 40 projectiles for each heavy
mortar. The mortar emplacements
should be surrounded by barbed
wire entanglements and the gun
ners should be provided with a plen-
tiful supply of hand-srenades for
use in case the allied troops should
storm the positions.
AS to the field and position artill-
cry, each battery should have on
hand sufficient ordinary ammuni-
ton to last three days and half,
and also have ready for use a supply
of poison gas shells.
Great stress is laid on the value
of maintaining communications be-
tween the infantry engaged and the
staff in the rear. Each regiment is
, ordered to appoint an officer res
ponsible for this service, whose duty
shall be to reconnoitre the line oc-
cupied by his regiment and send fire.
