GLASGOW & WESTERN PLANT

From the enlarged plant Of the Glas-
gov and Western Mining company at
Golconda, Nevada, there came upon the
market yesterday a carload OF matte
for which Cashier Boyd received a
check amounting to over 50, 600, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. This is the
second consignment Of the kind with
which the company has arrived on the
local market during the past few days,
and arrangements having been made
with Manager Jones of the American
Smelling and Refining company. the
Glasgow aud Western will in future
send its product TO this point. The
matto Is among the best that has ever
reached this market, the analysis show
ing over 90 per cent copper, over 80
ounces silver and an average better
than $50 gold per ton. Since the en-
largement of its smelter, the Glasgow
aud Western has decided to abandon
the shipment of concentrates and crude
ore, and will convert every thing into a
matte, in which form 1t will go upon the
market. In this way the cost OF trans
portation is greatly reduced, and with
the smelter now under perfect mastery,
the shareholders may begin To crane
their necks for dividends. Manager
Stalmann, who came in from the mine
recently, il To be congratulated that
the equipment of the big undertaking
has now been completed, and that from
this time tie filling Of the treasury will
continue.

THE AUTOMOBILES HISTORY.
4 story Covering One Hundred and
Twenty-Five Years.

The growth OF the general use of auto
mobiles in this city makes it interesting
10 trace the Development Of the vehicles
history back for many years. This has
been done in a little document issued by
the Government. II says that from the
most reliable sources il has been ascer-
tanned that automobiles were made more
than l25 years ago by Cugnot in France.
II was a steam propelled wagon Of an ex-
tremeIy crude appearance. but was the
fOrerunner of the successful motor yehi-
cles now seen in operation. II might be
stated. that Paris. up to year or two
ago. has always been he hotbed Of auto
mobiles some OF tn glcat inventors IN
this line being Hancock, Church, Dietz.
Gibbs. and Frazier.
Hancock did his York during the year
OF 1925. but did not complete his first mo-
tor until after fse years work. II was
known as the infaut according TO the
automobile history. bu. alter i've or three
runs was declared to be hardly a success.
A year later he built another wagon that
cost about $500.
IL burned about twelve tons Of coke per
hour and weighed about three tons. 1t
could only travel on the best Of roads at
a speed OF ten miles an hour. but withal
could be termed the first successful motor
vehicle.
Church, later on. built vehicle to carry
fifty passengers. being all out OF proDor-
ton, and a few years previous to this
time one Quincy built a carriage ia Eng
gland propelled by steam. that made such
frequent trips to the repair shop it IVES
retired. IL could not stand the severe
strains of the uneven roads
At that time the railroads were being
paid to automobiles. 1t was along in the
SOS when Richard Dugeon constructed a
wagon propelled by steam, to carry ten
people.
Ten years ago France began to talk Of
the automobile industry, and has advanced
with rapid strides, until it is now con-
sidered by many to lead in this line. with
America close on its heels. All classes Of
motors are in use in Europe including
hydrOcarbon, gasoline electricity. and
steam. with the gasoline most in favor.
1t was not until six Year, ago that
America began to pay much attention TO
the business, and even a race organized
in the fall Of 1895 was won by a German
automobile. In this lace. in Chicago.

said that if a railway train killed a child
its parents should be satisfied with one
dollar damages. because children were not
a source Of pecuniary benefit TO their par
ents. Now here comes Justice Robinson.
OF the Supreme Court Of Connecticut VINO
says that II a man is killed painlessly on
the railroad his relatives should be salts
fed with ten dollars. He adds:
''The relatives must prove that the dead man
suffered pain 10 get more. The fact that the body
was mutilated does not prove it
The part of this astonishing decision
which the justice does not explain is how
the relatives are TO prove their case. Spir-
itualistic communications are hardly ad-
missible as evidence, and the dead man
cannot come back TO tell the jury whether
he was hurt or not. Neither is it possible.
in the great majority Of cases. to get a
deposition from him before death affirm
ing that be was in pain. man who has
been killed by a railroad train is gem
orally slaughtered in sucn a way that no
one knows anything about the matter till
the victim is dead.
Moreover, how much is human pain sup
posed to be worth in American money?
How would jury go to work to put a val
uation on the agony suffered by a human
being dissected by an engine. or crushed
between two car seats. or cremated in
Pullman? Ii would be like trying 10 meas

or course, the purpose Of a law award
ing damages 20 relatives and friends OF
people who are killed in this way is two
fold. It is supposed that il some penalty
is imposed for such accidents the cor
pOratiOn may take more care that they do
not happen. IL is also supposed that, in
the case Of a poor man. or a poor mans
child. some compensation is due for the
pecuniary benefit which the deceased per
son might have bestowed upon his rels-
tiyes. In the case of brakeman, for ex-
ample. who daily risks his life and health
for a comparatively small sum, it is only
fair that if he is killed in the perform
ance Of his duty his family should be pro-
vided for. II the company neglects proper
precautions and thereby causes the death
Of a child, the parents lose the money
which that child might have earned for
their support in old age. There is. OF
course. no possible compensation for the
pain of bereavement That is out Of the
question. But in the case of the poor it
is only simple justice that those bereaved
should not be forced to suffer want through
the neglect and selfshness OF a rich cor
poration The damages" should at least
be large enough to cover the funeral eS-
penses. whether pain was suffered by
the dead man or not.
