Magazine prints an article about her in which the writer says: "The most impressive piece of work that Mrs. Warren and Miss Koehler have put through is a type hitherto universally conceded to the male of the species. It is a wall five hundred feet long, five feet thick, and from twenty to forty feet high, built of solid masonry, and reaching down to bed rock alongside an arroyo whose tur bulent waters at the rainy season threatened to undermine the business portion of Silver City. Mrs. Warren was the engineer for this monumental piece of masonry. She cut from her own quarries the huge rocks used. She hauled lumber for the scaffolding from her own sawmill. She installed steam derricks, steam shovels and steam pumps. She and Miss Koehler worked superintending relays of Mexicans, fighting the rising' water to give the mortar time to dry. There were over three hundred Mexicans on her pay rolls in those days, but only Miss Koehler on the skilled workman list.'' Teuton Diplomats .-j.'i.im mm Will Not Talk War Washington, D. C, Jan. 16.
