INSTALLATION.
Followed by Literary Exercises
and Banqnet.

Last Saturday evening about 100
members of the local Masonic lodge
and of the Order of Eastern Star
attended the annual installation of
officers OF the respective organiza-
tions at the lodge room at Butler
hall.
Past Master Fox served as install
ling officer and Nathan Croker as
marshal, the latter presenting A. L.
Smith for installation as Worshipful
Master for the ensuing term. Mr..
Smith then assumed the duties of
officer and installed the following
officers; Fl. N. Stevens, S. w; Key
Pittman, K. W; M. Sheridan, treas
urer; NJ. G. Ish, S. D.; James Nc
Cambridge, j. d.; VIM. Mccain,
Tyler, and Robert Martin and A. f.
Ackermah, stewards.
At the conclusion of this service
the w. NJ. called on T. H. Eckles for
an address, and he responded with
an interesting talk on masonry, Civ
ing its aims and objects.
The lodge room was then turned
over to the Order Of Eastern Star,
who installed their officers for the
ensuing term as follows: j. j. Owens,
W. P; Mrs. Alice Sheridan, w. M;

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
THE COST OF POWER IN
TONOPAH.

Now that the custom mill has been
running at full load for a reasonable
period, results are becoming measur-
able. Interesting, instructive and
very economical results are being OBJ.
tanned from particularly the Diesel
engine. Much has been promised Of
this engine, both by the manufacture
ers and their agents in San Francisco.
Its performances thus far, although
a trifle erratic at first, seem now to
be amply fulfilling the most liberal
claims of those interested. Under
its normal rated load of 125 horse
power, its consumption of fuel per
day of "a hours approximates ITO
gallons. The oil which is being used
is said to cost II cents per gallon
laid down in Tonopah. On this basis
OF cost and consumption the cost per
horse power per year Is $3S. 90.
There is necessarily something to be
added to this amount for the oper-
alton of the auxiliary engine which
actuates the air compressor that is
used in connection with the Diesel.
But the amount is no doubt a frac-
ton OF the principal item. This type
OF engine promises to revolution the
cost OF power, not only on the desert
but ever. in the heart of the oil fields,
and indeed right under the tolls of
the great hydro electric plants of
California. But we are interested
with what the machine will do in
Tonopah. To be SURF in arriving at
the aggregate cost per horse power
per annum we must add together all
items that 10 ically enter into such
cost. These include lubricants and
waste, attendance, depreciation, re-
pairs and interest on the cost of the.
machine. But all of thoseitems should
oe roughly the same Tor all classes of
oil burning engines. For the pur-
poses OF approximate comparisons
they may all be eliminated, and fuel
along considered. The original cost
OF the engine and the interest charge
are nearly double the amount of that
involved in the American types. But
the interest charge is not enough to
materially increase the unit cost of
power.
In this comparison two fairly typ
zeal local plants were taken, both
however of much smaller capacity.
