AN AERIAL. TRUST.

The commercial opportunity OF avia-
t1on has no more immediate and mater
iai evidence than in the formation of
a million dollar corporation in New
York for the manufacture of the Wright
brothers machines. The incorporators
include some of the richest men in that
city. The installation of a plant for
production is already indicated in Ohio.
1t Is rather early to predict that the
possession of the Wright patents COW
ers the entire scope of man-f1ieht; but
the formation of this trust so prompt
ly indicates the entrance OF aviation
into this field of rivalry in transporta-
tion which has heretofore been occu-
pied by railroad and steamship lines.
1t is a marvellous development of an
art which is Yet in it's infancy. But
It has vast possibilities. We are just
beginning to learn that men can fly.
What may we not look for in the near
future under the guidance of CONNER
cial interest directed by commercial
energy ?-Boston Herald.
NEGLIGENCE IN INSURANCE.
Insurance is the most neglected and
least thought of item in the affairs
of American business men. The same
neglect and apparent carelessness in
other departments would soon bank
rupt all but the freaks in commercial
pursuits. Several incidents have oc-
CURED recently TO support these state
ments, yet the average business man
has not been impressed with them.
The daily press is continually record
ing instances where fire companies
have failed for want of capital or
character; foreign Lloyds and indi-
viduais have declined to pay Ameri-
can losses; mutuals have gone the
way of the wicked, ETC., but the aver
age business man is still ready to place
his insurance with any concern that
comes along with a Autographed
policy form, and is willing to write
the policy for little less than is ask
ed by the old and substantial concerns.

Radium for Everybody.

Arrangements will shortly be made
by the Austrian government for the
public sale of radium for medical and
experimental purposes
A considerable quantity of radium
in an impure condition was recently
received here from Joachimstha1. The
process of publication will be COM
pleted in a fortnight. when at least
gram will be available for public pur-
chase. 1t is stated, however, that
among the intending purchasers pref
erence will be given to Austrian sub
jects.
According to Sir William Ramsay,
at the laying of the cornerstone OF a
new radium factory at Limehouse,
England, week ago, radium. which
not so long ago sold at 81 miliigram
is now worth SEQ a milligram, or $2.-
10000 an ounce.
The total quantity of radium which
has been thus lar recovered for scien-
tific use throughout the world is esti-
mated not to exceed a quarter of a
pound.-vienna dispatch to the New

EXPLOSION OF

The explosion of gasoline stove
caused the fire department to respond
to a blaze in the building used as a
kitchen in the rear of the residence
of d. H. Mcneil on Florence avenue.
at 1890 o'clock last night. Mrs.
Mcneil was engaged in preparing
edibles for a crowd of the younger
set who had gathered there for the
evening, when the stove exploded. In
throwing it outside the gasoline
spread and in second the front Of
the building was in flames. The
quick response of the department
saved the building and prevented the
fire from spreading to the residence
situated only about ten feet away.
The interior and front part of the
kitchen was somewhat charred, but
it is thought that the loss will not
exceed $3.50. ~

made grab for the lines and natur-

started out to break the derby rec
ord. The driver did not like the
pace and jumped. But not so with
Mr.. Fox, who handling the lines like
a veteran, managed to stop the
wagon after coming in contact with
the corner of a house. The horse
continued on his way rejoicing but
later was captured. The wagon sus-

Will PLAY The
GOLDFIELD BALL
TEAM SUNDAY
VOLUNTEERS WILL DEMON
STRATE A LOST ART TO OUR
SISTER CITY.

Tomorrow morning the Volunteer
ball team will go to Goldfield, where
they will meet picked nine from
that camp. The Goldfielders have
promised a side bet to the local boys
and If they make good their promise
they win have no trouble in having
any amount covered. The game will
be played in the afternoon and the
team will return on the evening train.
The lineup of the Volunteers will be
as follows: O'Hara, catcher; Seitz,
pitcher; Kusche, first base; Hurd,
second base; Mcneil, third base;
Perry, shortstop; Miller, left field;
Hatton, center field; Young, right
field.
SeitZ, who will occupy the box for
the Tonopah team, is one of the best
pitchers in Nevada and prior to COM
ing to this camp, played with several
of the eastern universities. He will
undoubtedly make short work of the
Goldfield team.
