LATEST LIFE
 SAVING DEVICE
 FUR MINERS WILL PROVIDE THEM WITH oxY- GEN FOR HOUR AFTER FIX
 PLosIoN OCCURS CAN BE CARRIED IN POCKET BY GOVERNMENT FIX PERT WHO REFUSES TO
 PATENT IT
CAN BE CARRIED IN POCKET

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 20.- Within q short while a device will be within reach of every miner, at cost of DO cents, which will maintain life for at least half an hour after an ex- plosion from gas in the mine in which he is working. It is expected this will be the means of saving thousands of lives.
 The invention is the work of Clar- ence Hall explosive expert of the Geo logical Survey, who is in charge of the experimental explosives station at Pitts burg. Mr. Hall, who has just left Washington for Pttsburg, describes his invention as follows:
 "The respirator, as it may be call ed, is nothing more nor less than two cans, with a device to conform to the shape of the face, through which the fresh air is inhaled and the breath ex- haled. In the bottom can is q quantity of sodium peroxide. and in the top can certain quantity of water The water when the apparatus is in use is allow ed to drip, drop by drop. on the sodium peroxide, creating gas which gives off free oxygen. A water jacket sur rounds the lower can to keep it from becoming too hot from the chemical re. action.
 ''The residue in the bottom can be- comes pure I've, which absorbs the pois. onous breath, or barcon dioxide, the air which we all exhale. This device. capable of maintaining life for at least half an hour, is of such size that it may be put in the miners pocket.
 ' As the result of investigations, I have found that after explosions in mines, miners have been found on their hands and knees, with their fingers and knees torn and bleeding This is the result of the instinct for self -preserva- tion, which is strong m us all, the min CTS knowing that the strength of the poisonous gases on the floor of the mine is much less than at the ceiling of the tunnel.
 "When they display such presence of mind in such an exciting moment, there is no doubt they would rse this new device and thus be able to walk ln an upright position, and in many eases reach the cage at the outlet of the mine and thus escape.
 As l invented' this while in the em. ploy of the government, l will not take out q patent, and hope that with in a short time it will be manufactured so that miners can purchase it for at most half dollar

Identified by his hat as the man whc "rolled ' J. o. Manley, early yesterday morning, G. c. Sears was arrested last night and locked up in jail, w.th q charge of robbery standing against Jim
 Sears has been positively identified by Manley as the man who robbed him. He will have hearing in Judge Hin son Thomas court within the next few days.
 According to Manley's story he was drinking in lower Broad street saloon, early yesterday morning and before he had quenched his thirst, he was pretty well under the influence of Old John Barleyeorn.
 After leaving the saloon, he had moi proceeded far, when he was attacked and relieved of about $l6, which was all the money he had on his person at the time.
 Although relieved of the money. Man Icy managed to secure the hat of the man who held him up. He kept the specimen of male millinery and later in the morning, turned it over to the city officers.
 It was immediately recognized as be- ing that of Sears, who had just been released from jail after serving short term in the county jail for creating a disturbance in "Dock" Mum $ saloon.
 Sears, who has been without f;mds for the past few days, was plentifullv supplied yesterday when he was seen at several saloons. Last night he was picked up by City Marshal Bob Andcr- son and locked up.

 The specific charge against the boys i, that they stole eight bottles of whis- tsv from the ruins of the Pinoeer sa- l,on which was destroyed by fire, early Thursday morning.
 Two of the boys, it is claimed, ap- ,-orriated the booze. Later they dis no.cd of two bottles to another lad, rbo was to sell the whiskey and pay them for it later The two boys who ,eurcd the liquor attempted to sell q nart of it, according to the officers, without success.
 Asit is. the youngsters will probably he placed on probation, unless, on in- re,tipation it is found that they are ;n,ogrigihle and should be sent to tha reform school.
 Probably without realizing what they did. the boys who stole the booze not only committed petty larceny and de- frauded an insurance company, but vio- lated the federal. territorial and city laws for selling liquor without li-  cense and for furnishing liquor to min Ors.
 The theft of the liquor was discov cred by the city officers yesterday, and the loot taken from the youthful of fenders last night.

Midsummer Madness

The compiling statistician who, with
sleepless eye and never-quiet finger
notes and computes all things, has de-
cided that the month of June-beautiful,
peaceful, joy-inspiring June-is the
month of greatest crime and greatest
tragedy.
The Siegel case and the Woodill case,
two sickening tragedies, have occurred
in this period, and now the disgusting
details of the Gingles case in Chicago,
unfit to print, are coming out to swell,
as it were, the tide of crime, although
the affair happened several months
ago.
Was it midsummer madness that
drove Harry Thaw to slay Stanford
White in Madison Square garden2 These
might all be termed ''hot weather
crimes" Butte's period of torridity
lasting though it did only few days.
brought two frightful tragedies to mar
it's history.
June torridity is more severe because
of its suddenness and its contrast with
the benign weather of May, which pre-
coded it. One gets accustomed to the
hot weather of July and August.
Mortality and criminal statistics show
every year that June is the premier
month of emotional crime. Perhaps the
same spirit which sends the mad dog
snarling through the streets breathes
from the sun god and enters the souls of
men burdened already with grievance.

Governor Dickerson has made the fol
lowing statement in regard to the suit
of the John Breuner Company of Reno
against the board of capitol commission.
ers for awarding the contract to furnish
the governors mansion to Donnels &
Steinmetz when the bid of the Breuner
Company was the lowest of the three
bids made:
THE board delegated me the author
ity to make selection. The three diff
ferent bidders presented for examina-
tion their samples, color schemes and
photographs of furniture,
After opening the bids and examin-
ing the prices named in the respective
bids, the board turned the matter over
to me for decision. 1 examined the
samples of the different bidders and it
was very plain that the quality of those
submitted by Breunner was, in my
opinion, inferior to that of either Sloan
or Donnels & Steinmetz AS to the
quality, the choice lay between these
two houses; as to the price Donnels &
Steinmetz was much lower than Sloan.
1 also knew that Donnels & Steinmetz
are a Nevada house. Mr.. Bruener lives
in California and the Sloan house is out
of the state. The fact that both DON
nels and Steinmetz are Nevada men did
not hurt them any with me.
Having in mind the quality and
price, I decided the bid of Donnels &
Steinmetz was the lowest and best bid
and the board ratified that
IF there be any blame at all it at
taches to me. There would have been
no suit if Breuner was the successful
bidder. 1t is a case of sour grapes with
him.
"Of course the governors mansion
might be furnished for as low as one
thousand dollars, but 1 40 not believe
the people of the state want cheap,
shoddy furniture in the home where the
governors of their state for years to come
are going to occupy. Such is beneath
the dignity of the state
