BID Balloon May Come

Los Angeles friends of DR.. F. ].
Fielding of San Antonio, Texas, will
invite him to bring his mammoth bal
loon now being built by H. r. Honey
we'll at st. Louis to Los Angeles for
it's trial trip. DR.. Fielding is having
the balloon built with a capacity OF
100000 cubic feet or five times the
capacity of the United States" Dick
Ferris racing balloon.
His intention is to make an attempt
with Mr.. Honeywell to go from the
United States across the Atlantic
ocean. Before doing this he will make
a trial ascension, and several friends
living in Los Angeles think this would
be the ideal place to try out with a
possible record from the Pacific to
the Atlantic across the country as a
starter All the climatic and other
ideal advantages of Los Angeles will
be set before Mr.. Fielding.

French Senate to Promote Aviation

The senate of France recently pro-
nounced in favor of an appropriation OF
100, 900 francs for the promotion OF
aerial locomotion.
NJ. Delagrange is preparing for an ex-
tensiye series Of trials at Savigny-sur-
Orge, France, where he win shortly try
no fewer than four different machines
including two double-deckers, a. three
decker and a Wright aeroplane.
For the first time in all his expert
ments Wilbur Wright, the American
aeroplanist, now in Europe, succeeded
Friday of last week in making a start
with his aeroplane directly from the
ground without the use of the derrick
which he has previously used He
circled the field twice on this flight and
then came to the ground.

Russians rake Pot shot at Balloon

A German balloon that passed over
Russian territory recently was fired on
by Russian frontier guards. No less
than fifteen shots were fired, and this
in spite of the fact that the balloon
was flying the German flag. The bullets
Kissed all around the airship, and one
of them pierced a sack of ballast and
was imbedded in the sand. The aero
nauts made a hurried descent and sue
ceeded in landing on German territory.
They were not hurt. The balloon be-
longed to the Silesian Aero club. The
a voyage of several hours the aeronauts
approached the frontier in the vicinity
of Zerkow, and it was here the firing
took place.

Dick Ferris has ordered a special
Zerbe forty-rater for next seasons
tour. He has exacted much from the
designer this time, as the machine
must not only be capable of carrying
forty passengers, but will be called up
on to take, in the lower compartments.
about $500 pounds of scenery. Dick says
he intends to book no one night stands,
as the speed made by the smaller
shows these days makes them capable
of covering a distance of 800 to 1000
miles without difficulty. Road" shows
have much easier time these days,
when every theatrical company owns
its own transportation system and the
sleeper has no jolting propensities.

Rubber Tires to Cost More

That the price of tires will be ad-
vanced within a week or so is the ad-
vice received by f. o. Nelson from the
factory of the Diamond Rubber COM
pany. The price of rubber has been
steadily advancing for the past two
or three months. and where it was
$122 per pound before the recent cut,
which was made on account of drop
to SO and 80 cents, the price is stead
lily going up and has now reached $1.3O.
All of the leading makers will doubt
less advance prices uniformly and at
the same time. No new contracts are
being made at the old prices, and
there will doubtless be a rush to get
in before the advance, which is sure
to come within a few days.

AMERICAN MOTOR NOTES

Assuming that there is to be a Gid
den tour in 1909, two entries have all
ready been made.
Two hotel garages in the White
mountains in their fifteen weeks sum-
mer season had over HOO cars regis
tered with them.
Motorists are required in Toronto to
slow down to four miles an hour when
passing a street car discharging pas
sengers.
San Francisco dealers supplied a
whole fleet of cars for the tag day re-
Gently held in that city to further the
work of the charitable institutions.
A police rule of Toronto requires all
slow-moving vehicles to keep to the
curb, which allows automobiles clear
way through even the busiest streets.
The outlook for next year is so good
that one firm has decided thus early
to increase its output 100 cars above
what it had set as the limit for 1909.
Georgia and North Carolina are
gaining rapidly in the direction of good
roads for motoring, some of the mac
adam surfaces in the latter being
especially good.
Cars returning from the Savannah
races are to be given a chance at
short distances on the Long Island
motor parkway December 5, three
events with automatic timing being
on the card.
Motorists contributed largely toward
the fund being raised to save the old
mission at San Juan Batista, in Cali
fornia, hundreds of them motoring to
the place for the Sunday celebration.
With New York bidding for the
grand prize race of next year even
before Savannah has had chance to
show what it can do this year, Lowell,
Mass, has come forward with prop
osition to have the race there.
There is often chance to save a
good deal of power through frequent
examinations of the rear wheels to see
that they revolve freely, there being
many causes that result in friction and
consequent demand for more power
Speaking from long experience, a
motorist says that white horses
should be passed very carefully, as
they are the most likely to cause
trouble while sorrels may be passed
with impunity, blacks and bays COM
ing next in point of safety.
The federal government has declined
to pay state or municipal taxes on any
of it's official automobiles or motor
cycles, declaring that they must be
free to move from state to state as
ordered without the delay incident to
obtaining tags.

Dumont Has New MonopIane

Santos Dumont is bringing out a new
monoplane, the shape of which is some
what like that of a butterfly, the wings
measuring 10 feet from tip to tip. The
propellers will be driven by a 24-horse
power Antoinette motor at a speed of
700 revolutions per minute and M. Du-
mont estimates that he will have to at
tain a speed of about thirty-six miles
an hour before the machine will rise
from the ground. The plane surface is
only little over nine square yards

Fourier Wants Monte Carlo Prize

Henri Fourier, while in New York
last week, before his departure for the
south, where he was to participate in
the Grand Prize race, stated that in
the near future he would give up auto
mobile racing for aeroplaning. In the
opinion of Fourier, races in the air
will ere long be in great favor. 1t is
his intention of taking up the newer
sport in February of next year, when
he expects to handle an aeroplane in
the contest for a $4,000 prize offered
by the Monte Carlo Casino for the
aeroplanist who pilots his machine
from Monte Carlo across the bay to
Cape Martin and back again, a dis
lance of eight miles.

AREONAUTIC NOTES
Flyers offered $4,000 Cup

The recently formed Aeronautic
league of Paris has received an offer of
quite an important aviation prize. 1t
will take the form of a $4,000 cup,
which will be awarded every six
months to the aviator who holds the
record for a straight-line flight. AT
the end of three years it will become
the property of the aviator who has
accomplished the longest flight unless
during the period any person shall
have made flight of 1000 kilometers in
five hours, in which case the cup will
become his absolute property.

The new machine is a cellular biplane.
which has been fitted with a system of
warped wings something similar to the
Wright method. The new Maurice Far

coke went into the. days feed, and
 this amount will be largely increased
 and considerable lime rock for Aux
 and silica ore for converter Things are
 used which will also, of course, be
 used in increased quantities in pro
 portion to the added capacity of the
 plant.
 Many more operatives will be given
 employment, even though to double ca pacity does not mean to double the force of employees, and thus do the plans still further tend Q to Douglas growth and prosperity.
 The policy of the company in the
 past and at the present time, the
 opinions of the most expert of mining
 men that the mineral holdings of the
 Calumet & Arizona company and the
 Bonanza Circle are as rich as any in | the wonderfully rich Warren mining district, the character of the men be- hind the enterprise, as demonstrated in past and at present, lead to the cer- tainty that in the future the Calumet
 & Arizona smelter is to be one of the
 largest and most successful in the southwest .. ! When it was found that the imme- diate vicinity of the company's mines [ did not give room for future expan- sion. it was decided to come to Doug [ las, on the main line of the Fl Paso II & Southwestern railroad, and a site was obtained which is two miles west : lof the present city, connected there 2 with by the railroad and the Douglas ; street railway. The construction work r was started under the direction of D. F E. Heller as superintendent, after y wards superintendent of the shelter C work when the plant was started, and d A. J. McDer;nott as general foreman. e which position MT. McDermott still D holds. Mir. Heller remained in the su- T lperintendency until in August, 1905,
 when James Wood resigned the super !. llntendcy of the Copper Queen smell Y Iters, a position he had held for sev- n eral years, and came to Douglas and if assumed those duties for this com Q pany. Prior to going to Bisbee MT. s Wood had been in Utah and still pre- t viously had been active in smelter con- h struction work in many sections of the e country. In Bisbee he set in operation $ the first converter plant ever in oper- c ation in Arizona, for the Parrott com ,r Ipany in Butte he helped erect and put a in operation the first converter plant D. to operate in the United States; he a built the first converter plant for the D. Anaconda company, and ne directed h the construction of other plants at
