Clarence Mackay
Makes Donation
Will Provide Yearly Sum
for Maintenance of
School of Mines

The following, contained in the
issue of the Reno Journal of NAV
10th, will be of interest, as well
as welcome news to all interest
ed in the welfare of the state
university:
Another munificent donation
to the University of Nevada
from Clarence H. Mackay was
announced yesterday, forming a
lifting climax to the numerous
gifts by him, including the
$1OO, 900 Mackay School of Mines.
$50, 900 for the Mackay statue to
be unveiled this June, and $5O.-
600 provided for the improve
ment of the university campus.
The latest gift is not confined
to any stated sum, being out
llhed IN a letter presented by
DR.. Stubs to the board of regents
at its last meeting, in which Mr..
Mackay offers to furnish the
mining school entirely, leaving
the present appropriation of S1l.
900 made by the legislature to
be used for other purposes. He
also announces that he will pro-
vide Sc, 600 per year to maintain
the School of Mines.
The board of regents was
surprised and pleased by this
latest manifestation of the inter-
est taken in Nevada by the son
OF John M. Mackay, whose mil,
lions were made with those of
Flood, Fair and O'Rrien, on the
Comstock. and they lost no time
no time in conveying a. grateful
acceptance,
Iane 10th, commencement
day at the university will be a
gala day, The governor will
proclaim holiday. and in addi-
ton OF Clarence Mackay, many
distinguished men will attend
the unveiling and exercises. =

c. L. Alquist
Goes to Freiburg
To Make Arrangements for
Machinery to Be Placed
On Property

c. L. Alquist, a prominent
merchant of Caliente, also large
ly interested in the San Pedro
Freiburg Mining company, in
which he holds the position Of
secretary and treasurer, passed
through Phoebe the first of the
week en- route to the pro-
perty. He was accompanied by
Mr.. Hall, who is also large
owner. The object of the visit
at this time is to determine on
the necessary machinery to be
installed. The shaft on the pro-
perty has been sunk to such a
depth that it is absolutely imper-
ative to the successful working
of the mine that machinery be
Immediately installed, and no
time will be lost in making nec-
essary arrangements.
Mr.. Alquist was quite jubilent
over the prospects of a railroad
building into Freiburg this sum-
mer. This is the only drawback
the camp has at the present time,
and with proper transportation
facilities it will be a wonder. 1t
is but ninety miles from Ely and
the smelters have already offer
ed a premium on the ore, on ac-
count of its peculiar fiuxing pro-
perties. Freiburg is a camp that
has been much in the limelight
Of late, and will surely prove an
other big producing camp for
northern Lincoln.

One c. c. Allen was ar
rested Thursday evening by
Deputy Sheriff Fitzgerald and
brought before Justice Garrison
on a technical charge of vag-
rancy. The defendant entered
a plea of guilty and the court
promptly imposed a fine OF
ninety days. The fine was sus-
pended, however, to give the
defendant a chance to get out Of
town, which opportunity was
quickly taken advantage of.

LOOK into THIS
SCHEME BEFORE
INVESTING
AUTOMATIC TRANSPORTATION
co. HAS VERY ALLuRlNG PROS
PEcTus, BUT A BIT OF CAUTION
WON'T BE AMlSS.

A very ingenious little car and a
more ingenious appeal to the ereduil'y
of possible investors are the principal
things noticeable in the ."demonstra-
tions" OF the Automatic Transportation
Co, which are held each day In the
company's branch office in the Bamiet
building. This, Is scheme IL which
Detroit and Michigan investors are
asked to put their good money In the
hope OF getting future returns or
very profitable nature.
Ii Is as alluring as a gold mine and
appears TO have about the same sub
stantial basis for hope as the average
gold mining proposition that Is adver'
tised similarly.
George Carr. brother of the Buffalo
man who invented the machine, or
transportation system rather, Is In
charge OF the Detroit Office. His suite
comprises three rooms. the first oc-
cupied by a typewriter and piles or
literature, the second by Mr.. Carr and
a stack OF blue prints, and the third
by track designed to show of a
model carrier OF the new type. which
~ as dDOuI w iSNNiN
tionize transportation methods.
The car runs on an elevated track,
and the great principle OF the device
is the fact that power Is conveyed di-
rectly by the two rails. The rails
are hollow and the power is secured
through roller transmission under
meath one rail. somewhat similar TO
the conduit trolley system I'm vogue In
few cities.
Ii Is proposed TO promote number
OF companies In various cities TO build
these carrying systems through the
country and by means OF them carry
freight. mail and heavier materials.
and. perhaps. even persons in. time.
But the company In which Detroiters
are now offered stock is not To build
any of these lines.
This company will never carry a
pound of freight" says Carr. ut con-
trolls the patents and will make and
of the. stock OF all subsidiary com
panies.
When asked for details as to cost
OF installation and operation OF the
system, Mr. Carr was inclined to be
very indefinite. He could not state
these costs except that they would be
about one-tenth that of electric rail.
way lines. He was very sure that, il
the company's plant were set up now
and making automatic cars, it would
have plenty of orders from companies
to be formed in various towns to OPP
crate the system.
The model set up here shows that
cars can be run with the electric trans
mission system devised by Carr. II
does not demonstrate In any way that
the cars can be controlled as he states.
1t is run by cutoff electric switch.
which is well enough for one car, but
does not give any idea as To the
method TO be used with a large loop
having so to 20 stations, such as Is
deserted in the company's literature.
The Automatic Transportation Co.
may have very good thing-the me-
chanism shown is certainly ingenious
but ii will require the investment of
many millions of dollars in subsidiary
to make the parent com.

The mail collection system shown

The principal argument, apparently,
with the people who are buying the
stock is that the telephone and tele-
graph companies have been great sue
cesses.
How much did you say Bell stool;

IL worth now?" anxiously inquired one
prospective investor.

his brother have invested all that they

number OF electrical experts have also
taken large blocks OF stock.
Inquiry in Buffalo brings the state.
ment that the men connected with
the enterprise are OF excellent bust
ness reputation and that the demon
strating plant OF the concern attracts
considerable attention.
The following paragraph relative =
new inventions is from the World 5
Work. and is reprinted In the Review
OF Reviews with warm Endorsement:
Perhaps the worst mistake that al
inventor can make is TO become pos.
sessed OF the idea that he should back
a new invention. Just at the moment
II is airships. A little while ago it
was talking machines. Thousands II
people in all the civilized countries
OF the world lost much money trying
70 reap fortunes from the much
heralded field OF wireless telegraphy.
IL would be quite impossible TO esti-
mate the amount Of money that has
been thrown away by usually sane and
sensible people during the past ten
years In an effort TO make a substitute
for the. cable and the telegraph and
the telephone"
The Review adds:
The open fact. which Is final with
sensible men who have learned 1t, Is
that famous American bankers strict
ly avoid the underwriting of new in
ventions. They stick to the cities
railroads, and manufacturers that are
already successful, using methods that
have alreary made good. Those are
the bankers who have demonstrate ]
that they are fitted to handle other
peoples money. Such fitness Is not
taken for granted by people who have
seen the inside OF new-invention pro-
