FIRE ALARM
ABOUT READY
SIMPLE MECHANISM THAT WILL
ENABLE CITIZENS TO DIRECT
FIRE DEPARTMENT TO vICIN.
ITY OF THE DANGER

Probably with the end of today's
work the Gamewell fire alarm sys-
tenn which the city is installing will
be in condition for actual operation.
The fire bell has been put in place
and the connections are being made.
The little red boxes are objects of
much interest in all sections of the
city where they are placed. There
are 25 in the city and each box is
numbered, ,-. -..,. -a.-
The method of turning in the
alarm is very simple. In the front
of the box is a small compartment
covered with glass containing a key
in place. BY breaking the glass the
box can be unlocked and as the door
opens a lever is in plain sight. Pull
ing down the lever once the mech
anism is set to work that will do the
rest,
The fire bell will be rung four
times in a combination giving the
number of the box At the same time
there will be displayed at the central
fire station the number of the box
from which the alarm was sounded.
and bell will also be rung at Chiet
Martinson's house giving him the
same number He is in a position
then to direct the work of the de-
partment with exact knowledge OF
the immediate locality Of the fire.

Rountrec, Creighton and Drum Have

II. E. Ferguson came in from
Sprucemont Tuesday. His story
agrees with that of everyone else
who knows any thing about that
camp; to wit, that it is looking better
and better as development work adj
vances. Mr.. Ferguson himself has
one of the best showings in the camp,
and is engaged in prospecting for
more ground, and doing his annual
work on the properties he now has.
Mr.. Ferguson thinks it will develop

ports that Joe Scott has made a fine
strike near the Bluebell. The find is
gold, lead, silver and copper, and is
near the old Monarch mine, which
has always been great producer.
Mr.. Ferguson thins it will develop
into one of the richest mines in the
district. He is very enthusiastic over
the outlook for Spruce, and ex-
presses himself as believing it will be
one of the best in the state before
long. He says that Rountree, Creigh-
ton and Drum have opened up fine
body of rich ore on the Iron King
group. They are working several
men on their properties and doing
some large development work.

LANDER COUNTY
PROSPECTS ARE
VERY GOOD
FORTY CLAIMS, ALL RICH IN
COPPER ON THE SURFACE,
IN ONE DISTRICT.
GOOD ASSAYS AND BETTER VALUES
The Property Located Five Miles
Southeast of Battle
Mountain.

Lander county, particularly that
section of 1t lying close to Battle
Mountain, in this state, is to become
one of the richest mining sections in
Nevada, says an exchange, in the
opinion of William H. Bray, who ar
rived last week from Battle Mount
ain. Mr.. Bray is one of the principal
owners in the Bray-Boyd property
one of the largest estates in that Sec
ton. 1t comprises forty copper
claims, all with rich surface show
ings. Bray and his associatse made
the last payment of $4,000 on the
property a few days ago.
"A force of men is now at work on
the property. A shaft is being sunk
and two crosscuts are being run. A
distance of 10 feet has been attain
ed in one of the crosscuts, and for
the entire length excellent ore was
cut. Assays from this average $500
in gold and per cent in copper
The property is located five miles
southwest of Battle Mountain and
within sight of the main line of the
Southern Pacific. Bray, who is rec
ognized as one of the leading mining
men of the country, went into Battle
Mountain about year ago, and it
was on his report that the present
property was purchased and is now
being developed. He is associated
with prominent capitalists of Ely in
the the venture.
Battle Mountain Is geing to be
one of the liveliest towns in Nevada,
said Bray, At the present time
seven SiX-hOrSe teams are engaged in
hauling ore from the district sur
rounding us. We will soon be ship
ping, and other properties near us
are equally fortunate, so, you see,
we have a bright future, indeed

dozen or more other very common
domestic uses of copper are men,
toned.
In the manufacturing world the
uses of copper and brass innumer-
able. One concern in the Naugatuck
valley of Connecticut buys copper in
ten-ton lots, monthly, solely for the
making of watch dials, all of the bet
ter-grade dials being of copper, en-
ameled. The common pin requires
hundreds of tons of copper yearly,
insignificant as a single pin may
seem. Balls for shoes and tips on
rubber-tipped lead pencils are re-
sponsible for surprising depletion
in the stock of the metal.
In addition to the consumption OF
the metal itself, tens of thousands of
tons of copper sulphate are required
for the arts and manufactures, and
for horticultural purposes, in spray
ing fruit trees, bushes and vines. 1t
is very evident, from a perusal of the
book in question, that copper plays
vital, and far more import
ant part than commonly supposed in
twentieth century civilization.

THINKS" AND COMMENT

The average man, if asked to
name, offhand, the uses of copper,
would be likely to reply that the
metal was used mainly or coming
pennies and making wire, yet these
of the copper that is produced. On
second thought he might smile at
naming copper coinage as an import
ant consumer of the metal, yet his
first thought would be nearer right
than his second, for the Chinese en-
pire has used fifty thousand tons of
copper for making new coins within
the past two years, thereby increas-
ing the circulating medium of the
country to the extent Of four ounces
for each inhabitant-for while fifty
thousand tons of copper is a large
quantity of metal, sufficient to lond
a thousand freight cars of the heav-
lest type used on American railroads,
it is but a quarter of an avordupois
pound among four hundred million
people.
Only the expert, or those engaged
most actively in the copper industry,
have the slightest idea of the diversi-
fed uses to which copper is put, as
shown by chapter on the uses of the
metal in the new edition of the Cop
per Handbook, published by Horace
j. Stevens of Houghton, Mich. Ac-
cording to this book, copper enters
into almost every form of human ac-
tivity, and the multiplicity Of its
uses is most surprising. Electric
light, power and traction are i'm
mense consumers of the metal in the
form of wire, and telephones and tel
egraphs find it indispensable, yet cleo
tricity requires only trifie more
! than a quarter of the metal made
The engineering trades consume
more than half of all the copper pro-
duced, mainly in the form of brass
but there are about a score of riction
metals and alloys, each having its
specific use, into which copper enters
as component part
The building trades are enormous
consumers of copper, and this sort OF
consumption is increasing rapidly
Copper roofs, cornices and fronts
adorn the exteriors of BUSINESS build.

COPPER MUST
BE IMPORTED
The United States Needs More
of the Red Metal Than
Mines Produce.

For the first five days of
August copper imports to-
tailed 2,170 tons, principally
from Mexico. In the same
} length of time exports of cop
} per totaled 1,946 tons. So
long as the demand for the
} metal in this country exceeds
} the supply, prices cannot sink
} much below their present
} level. The deposits of copper
} in this district are great be-
} yond belief; generations shall
} come and go, and our chill
} dren's children shall grow
} rich from the same beds of red
} metal we are now uncovering.
} The coming age will be
} known as the electric age.
} Electricity will be harnessed
} by copper wires to do more in

} every pound of copper used
means more prosperity for

High artistic merit marked the Arion

Kruger Auditorium last night, where the

enjoy the program. When the last note
of the singers had died away the floor was
cleared for a dance that lasted until early
his morning.
Julius LOrenz, the conductor OF the Arion-
ties, had tho men of music well in hand
and secured from the choruses particularly
fine and effective VIZ rk. The several parts
were well balanced and the old favorites
as we'll as the new songs secured a pientl-
tude Of well deserved applause. The chorus
work.. besides being the most interesting,
as 1t is that which holds the society to-
gether, was easily the leading feature or
the program from a purely popular point
Of view. The society'a ensemble work was
never in better form during its long his
tory and there was a nicely Of shading and
precision OF attack that was most COM
lmendable and led directly to : the pro-
nounced success OF the singers.

WORSE THAN sARDINEs.
Riis Would Rather Be in Their Place
Than in New York Tenement.

PATTERSON, Nov. 22.-Jacob A. Riis,
Former newspaper reporter aud now one of
the eountry's foremost philanthropists and
biographer and intimate friend Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, addressed a large audience
in the Sunday school room OF the Second
Presbyterian Church last night, the sub
ject OF his theme being my Neighbour"
Mr.. Riis, in referring to the tenement
sections of New York, said the people there
live like sardines in a barrel, only the sar-
dimes are better off because they are dead.
He said we grew prosperous and in the
selishness which always comes with pros
perity we mad a big mistake, we forget
our neighbor. The hearts Of humanity are
true when seldshness has not cracked
them.
Mr.. Riis gave many Of his experiences
and said that his message to them was TO
go out and find their neighbors and then
put themselves into the work.
