NEW AUTOMATIC RIFLE.
Former salt LalSer Expects Great
Things i'm Test of Invention.


n. c. Schellinger, formerly of the Bell
Telephone company of this city, and
now consulting engineer at Hartford,
Conn, is the inventor of a new ana
powerful automatic rifle. In letter
TO friend in this city, Mr. Schellen-
ger says:
Just word about my rifle: Its
principle of operation makes It possl-
Bile to work independent of the Varia-
tons in breech pressures which are
met in the service ammunition; the
range required and which no auto
matte gun has ever been able to stand
up under Is a minimum breech press
ure Of $4,000 pounds to the square inch
and maximum of $4,000 pounds to
the square inch. Also, my gun has
but rs separate parts, whereas other
automatics run as high as 236 parts"
Mr.. Schellenger says that he expects
to fire the first shot in giving tests at
Hartford ON Sept. /. He adds: There
are three guns. An automatic military
shoulder arm, an automatic rapid fire
held piece, machine gun, and an auto
matte pistol, They are all based on
the same principle of operation"
Mr.. Schellenger says the guns have
been examined by experts who pro-
nounce them perfect. He expects to
remain in Hartford until about Nov,

$4,000 less than those submitted by Mr..
Hanley
Both gentlemen made n vigorous pro-
test against the acceptance of the ten

PROMPTLY ACCOMMODATED
BUSY AT KENILWORTH.
Independent Coal Company Engaged
In Much Construction Work.

The Independent Coal company OF
this city, and Kenilworth, Carbon
county. is expending $4,000 in making
improvements at the mines. one OF
these improvements is an attractive
two story and attic hotel to be erected
on the town plat, and be known as
Kenilworth Inn. There are also fine
schoolhouse, n store and residences to
go up, and the plat is so laid off that
it can be made highly attractive from
q landscape gardeners point of view.
Material has been ordered, and Is now
in transit for three nationality houses,
for the three different nationalities Of
the help, each to be one story and BOX
100 feet, the store building will be 30X5O
feet, and there Is to be a comfortable
dwelling for the superintendent. Thea
the water system for dwellings and FIRE
purposes, is to be introduced. There are
now in use 20 modern dwellings, for em-
ployes.
ENCHANTING POWER.
The management has bought 20
ton Sullivan air compressor with which
to work the drills, which will furnish
1t with the very latest and best form
OF eNcavating power. a new feature
has been adopted in mining, by reduc-
ing the width of the rooms" from 80 to
20 feet and increasing the number ~
rooms. 1t Is believed that this VIII
establish the margin of safety on
perfectly satisfactory basis, so that no
apprehension need ever be felt for the
stability of room supports. The en-
gineer has prepared underground plans
showing large groups of rooms which
are being steadily opened, so that tho
output of the mines which had been
reduced by the contraction of room
width. is now fast regaining the for
mer figures, $50 tons per day. AS the
improvements and facilities are in
creased, the daily product will be push
up to 1000 tons per day.
The management has already eXpend-
ed $4,000 on the property, since the
first start n yeas ago last March, in
which time wonders have been accom-
plshed,
