HOW INVENTIONS WERE STOLEN
Taken Before Days Of
Patents to Preserve Trade Secrets.

Patents to Preserve Trade Secrets.
Before patents we're granted for In
ventions, the inventor had but one
way To secure a return from his in
vention. That was to keep it secret.
Secret inventions were the most
valuable possessions Of many families
and guilds. But in proportion TO
their value, they tempted the cupidity
OF competitors. The secret of making
Venetian glass was greatly priced and
was most jealously guarded. A Vene-
tlan named Paoli, who possessed the
secret, left Venice and wandered
northward practicing his art. He
was stabbed in Normandy with a dag
ger marked Traitor measure
taken to preserve the secret.
In 1710 the Elector of Saxony
learned that a man named Bottger
had discovered the secret of making
porcelain. He accordingly confined
him in the castle of Albrechtsburg
until the discovery had been perfect
ed. The workmen we're sworn to Sc
crecy, and the drawbridge was kept
up except to admit those especially
authorized Thus was the manufac-
ture of the famous Dresden ware be-
gun. The secret was soon carried to
Vienna, where a royal factory was
established, and to France. where It
was the foundation of the manufac-
ture of the famous Sevres pottery.
The stealing of the secret of making
east steel" is an interesting example.
A matchmaker named Huntsman was
dissatisfied with the watch springs the
market afforded. and in 1860 con-
ceived that IL he could cast the steel
into an ingot, springs made from 1t
would be more homogeneous. His
| conception was successfully carried
! out, and a large market was estab-
lished for "Huntsmans ingots" Large
works with tall chimneys we're soon
built.
Every effort was made to keep the
secret No one was admimtted to the
works. The process was divided, and
persons working on each part were
kept in ignorance of other parts of
the work. One bitter night man,
dressed as farm laborer, came to
the door apparently in an exhausted
condition and asked admittance. The
foreman, deceived by his appearance
into thinking the man was incapable
of understanding what he would see
let him in.
The man dropped down in sight oI
the furnaces and seemed to sleep
Through furtively opened eyes he saw
the workmen cut bars of steel into
bits and depositing them into cruel
hles, put the crucibles into furnaces
and urge the fires to the highest pitch
The workmen had to protect them
selves from the heat by wet clothes
Finally the stel melted, he saw tn
cruclbles were withdrawn and tn
steel was cast into moulds-and TIL
secret was secret no longer-Amer

STEVENSON FOR GOVERNOR.

In one respect at least politics may
be compared to pugilism. When a
man becomes prominent and then drops
out Of the limellght's glare he rarely
ever returns in after years to an I'm
portant position. It is the general rule
in both these professions that "once a
back number always a back number"
But the Hon. Adlai f. Stevenson Of
Illinois has come forth to make him
self an exception to the rule in so far
ms It applies to politics. After he served

Cleveland was president and his can

IS ATTACHED BY
CAPTAIN THATCHER

A $4,000 attachment was yester-
day served on Thomas Hooper, E. H.
Mead and George A. Manning, prac-
tically tying up all of their property.
The action originated in Nye coun-
ty, and is brought by Capt. George w.
Thatcher. 1t is asserted that Hooper
and Mead contracted to buy from
Thatcher substantial interest in the
Bushwacker property at Rawhide for
the sum of $4,000. payments to be
made at stated intervals. In Jpne,
July and August there was to be pan
$50, 900, or $4,000 a month, so the
story goes, but none of this money
has materialized Manning is made
defendant, as it is claimed he was a
party to the transaction.
The attachment, which was receiv-
ed and served by the sheriff's office
here, resulted in seizure of Man
ning's interest in the Atlanta, Orc,
Great Bend Annex, Vulture at Won
der, and Hooper-Manning leasing
stocks; also Hooper's interest in the
Hooper-Manning leasing stocks, Vul-
ture and other securities. Goldfield

SHELTER SHIPMENT
TO BE RESUMED

With the resumption of work by
the Tecopa Consolidated, the new
town of Tecopa has taken on consid-
cradle life, and the wiseacres proph-
ecy that nothing can stop the build
ing of fair size town at that place.
The Tecopa company, operating
the MONDAY and Gunsight mines, is
employing more than forty men con-
stantly and everything is moving
along smoothly with big things in
store for the future. The two teu-
drill compressors have been installed,
and with this improved method of
breaking ground, excellent progress
IS being made in extending the de-
Selopments in the mine.
In the MONDAY, machine drills are
used in four drifts and one raise, and
in the Gunsigh in two drifts and one
raise. On the 2O0-foot level in the
MONDAY, the drifts have been ex-
tended about $50 feet, 480 feet south
and $50 feet north, all in the ore. On
the 3O0-foot level, the drifts are out
1875 feet each way, all in ore.
The vein in the MONDAY is from
ten to sixteen feet in width. On the
footwall, the carbonate ore, carrying
lead and iron, is from two to four
feet in width, and goes about 16 per
cent lead, while the concentrating ore
averages from to IL per cent lead
with a width from eight to twelve
feet. The ore carries about one-half
ounce of silver to one per cent of
lead, and about $3.50 ton in gold.
Owing to the breaking of large
quantities of shipping ore in extend
ing the development work, Superin-
tendent James H. Lester states that
it will be necessary to ship the high
grade, and he will put on one or two
teams in the near future to haul the
ore to Tecopa for shipment to MUIR
ray. The high grade is really in the
way, clogging up the works, and has
to be removed, so it will be converted
into development money. The main
object of the extensive work now in
progress is not to take out shipping
ore, but to open the concentrating
reserves.
At the MONDAY, Superintendent
Lester has recently installed huge
blower, which will handle $4,000 GU
bic feet of free air per minute, and
with this equipment the mine has an
excellent circulation of air. Mr.. Les
ter has also secured distillate tank
that will hold the contents of two
tank cars. and will set same up at
Tecopa. Large tank wagons Will
haul the distillate to the mines.
Murphy brothers, proprietors of
the general merchandise store at Te-
copa, are enjoying good trade, ow-
tn revival brought about by
the reopening of the mines, and the
general activity displayed by the pros
pectors who are getting into that sec
ton.
The construction of the Tonopah
and Tidewater railway through the
Tecopa country has induced opera
tors to get busy and has been an In
centive for prospectors to make loca-
tIons In that section, heretofore iso-
ated owing to lack OF transportation
facilities. -Rhyolite Herald.

erty interests. general management. and
rates we're considered.
II was said that nothing extraordinary
was done. but that since Judge Prltchard.
by his appointment Of the receivers, had
as a court taken charge Of the road, il
was desirable that counsel for the re-
ceivers should confer with him concern
ing the interests Of the road
Counsel for the receivers said the Sea-
board could not profitably carry passen-
gers at less than 8 cents mile. and
asked the court for orders as TO whether
or not the receivers should agree to the

by the legislature now In session. This
matter was held open awaiting the action

HIS DOPE WENT WRONG.
Attempt 20 SmHggIe Opium in Rolls
Fails with JaiIer.

New York. Jan. 26-To Albert Hall. Gus
todian Of the West Side courts prison an
mex. appeared this afternoon young
man bearing within a paper bag two
sandwiches and addressed the jailer in
this fashion
I'm a friend Of May Hutchins a lady
that was locked up here yesterday for
disorderly conduct and has got 10 go 20
the Island tomorrow. Meanwhile Mary's
hungry. I'm well acquainted with her
appetite, and believe she would thrive
but lily on this dismal prison fare. So
two sandwiches have I brought one Of
chicFen and one OF pork, and viii you
kindly pass EN- along and say they're
from Frank Kent. and that Frank has
not forgot?'
With that Frank handed the parcel to
Hall and went away. The jailer opened
the bag and peeked in. He lifted the
half roll which was the lid Of one Of the
sandwiches. lifted the slice of pork, and
from q pocket in the half roll which was
the floor Of the sandwich lifted six dark
brown pellets. Such also was the archi-
lecture Of the chicken sandwich.
Chase that man. Levy rOaTed Hall
Levy. the court officer, whisked out and
found Frank Kent on the sidewalk and
brought him back
'Smuggle opium to Mary. would you?r

So Frank and Mary are now in the same
Jail on the same charge.
