remarkable novelty of the kind ia

shell which bursts into flame in the
air and acts as temporary search

army. The projectile Is French in

Scientific American cup, and won in

turned out embody many of the ideas

this country of SO minutes 30 seconds

which is now the record flight for the
Scientific American cup for 1900.
Mr.. Curtiss' machine which he took
to Europe is practically a duplicate
OF the one he used here with the ex-
ception of the motor and therein lies
the secret of his success. Instead Of
using a four-cylinder motor he built
a special eight-cylinder one, water

The mill at the INLAY mine near
Humboldt House, Nevada, will go
into commission about July 1, says
the Salt Lake Herald. 1t has a ca
pacity of fifty tons daily, and the
General Engineering company which
is erecting the plant, declares that it
will be the first and most perfect
mill of its size in this western coun-
try. uperintendent j. H. Turner
reported that the building is practi-
cally completed, mortar bricks are
in and the engine is on it's founda-
ton. Most of the shafting is set and
the other machinery is being speed
lily placed.N The Inlay mill will be
lighted with electricity. 1t has three
60-horsepower boilers.
The mine is equipped with a fine
hoist and compressor, sufficient
supply of water and, in fact, every
thing required to do good work.
The ore bodies are opening up bet
ter and better all the time and Mr..
Turner writes that from new strike
on the incline level he has obtained
the finest gold paintings he has oyer
found in that country. The 300
level is highly mineralized quartz
and is now only forty feet from the
big ore shoot on the upper levels.
The drift south on the $50 level is
in splendid quantity of shipping ore.
Superintendent Turner declares
that he will have no difficulty in sup
plying the mill with fifty tons of good
ore per day for an indefinite period
and that he will soon have news for
the stockholders that will cause re-
| jOicing.
