TRAINING MEN TO
OPERATE SIGNALS
Pennsylvania R. R. Opens
Schools to Improve En-
plOyes in the Work

The Pennsylvania Railroad has insti-
tuted a new plan of training men to
maintain and operate its signals. The
demand for greater safety and facility
In operation having resulted in an ex-.
traordianary growth in the number of
block signal installations by reason OF
the increasingly intricate nature of
modern signal work, il was considered
that special means should be taken to
equip men for this branch of effort
The different divisions of the lines
East Of Pittsburg have started signal
schools where experienced signalmen
give instruction to the division signal
employees IN regard to the proper opera
tion and maintenance of the different
signal and interlocking appliances.
The Importance Of this step is indi-
Gated by the fact that, whereas, in 1902
there were but 1881 interlocking func-
tions in operation on the lines East of
Pittsburg, in 1908 this number was 90
I25-having just about tripled in a
period of six years. These 20, 725 func-
tions are operated by S.792 levers A
total of 12,40S signals are in service
covering 1886 miles OF road or over
20 per cent Of the entire mileage. All Of
Il represents a valuation OF upwards Of
$4,000. 900.
To train expert engineers capable OF
directing and planning signal installa-
tions. the company has appointed six
special signal apprentices: Messrs. j.
G. Stoll. George II. Wion. E. e. Schultz
.C. S. Snavely Allen b. Cooke and Harry
b. Appleton, and located one OF them
on the Now York. Philadelphia, Pitts
urg, West Jersey Middle and Maryland
Divisions. Three of the appointees grad
uated from State College. Pa, and the
others from Purde. Illinois State and
Ohio Normal School.
Apprentices will serve a three years
course. The first year win be spent on
the mechanical end Of the work, with
the repair and construction gangs; the
second year in the office of the super
visor Of signals and the third year on
outside work on electric and electro
pneumatic appliances. They win report
to the supervisor Of signals while taking
this course.
The next place open to these men is
the position of assistant signal inspector
in the signal engineers office. After at
tanning this they Will be considered In
line of appointment to the following DO.

(By Associated Press. J

OMAHA, May 22.-Masked ban
dts held up and robbed the Overland
limited on the Union Pacific a few
miles west of this city before mid
night tonight and secured a number
of registered mail pouches. The ex-
act number of sacks secured is not
known, but they are believed to have
contained a large sum. The robbers
who evidently got on the train at
some town west of here climbed over
the tank and forced the engineer to
stop the train. They then proceeded
to the mail car, where the clerks
were forced to open the door and
hand out the pouches. The passen-
gers were not molested and the rob-
bers escaped. A big squad of police
is in pursuit.

NEVADA HILL
CUTS ORE Vein

From an excellent source of in
formation it is learned that the man
agement of the Nevada Hills at Fair
view has cut at the lowest level, a
magnificent cross vein five feet in
width. The trend is northerly and
southerly.
In some of the upper levels of the
Nevada Hills punches of ore were
encountered, and it was thought that
big fault existed with the ore ma
terial dragged into it, The five feet
now exposed at the lowest level is
said to be solid ore and will run
from $50 to SIS a ton clear across.
The Nevada Hills will undoubted-
ly be taken over by George Wing
field and his eastern associates, and
they will effect a consolidation with
the Fairview Eagle. This plan, once
consummated. the owners will pro-
ceed to erect mill with a capacity
at the start of at least twenty stamps
and which may be increased to fifty
or 100 in the course OF time. The
basis of consolidation is said to have
been changed to Ave to one. on ac-
count of the new find. The new vein
is said to trend directly into the
Eagles territory. Mr.. Wingheld will
be In New York this coming week.
and II Is claimed that he will exer-
else the option at once. The report
of his engineer. Fred selbert, who
left for the Nevada Hills some days
ago to make a final examination. has
been compiled. aud rumor has Il
that II Is more than optimistic.
