new EQUIPMENT
lMPRVES MINT
THREE FURNACES INSTALLED
WILL INCREASE CAPACITY
AT CARSON OFFICE

CARSON, Sept with the ad-
dition of three new furnaces TO the
equipment of the mint at Carson
City it is expected that four times
as much work will be turned out
by Superintendent Colcord. Where
it required nearly forty minutes to
"make a melt under the system
formerly in use at the institution,
seven minutes will be all the new
apparatus will need.
A three-horse power dynamo fur
nishes power to high pressure
blower in the new furnaces, and
the whole outfit is of the govern
ment's most improved type.
Some time ago Superintendent
Colcord found it necessary to turr
away a ton of bullion because the
Anticipated furnaces then in the
building could not handle thu
stuff. With the present system in
stalled there will scarcely be +;
limit to the amount the mint will
be able to treat.
According to the Carson officials

the furnaces are the first of num-
Der of improvements to be made.
PLUNGED INTO
TANK OF CYANIDE

A. H. Harness, a workman at the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. mine, prob
ably owes his life to the fact that
he had sufficient presence of mind
to keep his mouth shut in time of
danger. Tuesday, while
working over the cyanide tanks, he
lost his footing and fell into one of
the large watts of poisonous fluid
so deadly poison that +. takes but
a few drops in a mans stomach to
cause almost instant death. He was
completely submerged in the fluid,
but kept his eyes, nose and mouth
tightly closed until his fellow work
men who had witnessed his fall
came to his rescue and hauled him
out of his dangerous bath. Anti
dotes were promptly administered
to counterfeit the effect of any O.

tered his system, and his poison sat

GOLOFIELD WATER
RATES REDUCED

A material reduction in water
rates will probably soon be an
nounced by the Consolidated Water
company.
The reduction will be in order to
secure the cooperation of as many
consumers of the district as posi-
BILE, and will place the necessity
within the means of practically
everyone. The company takes the
position that it would rather serve
100 than SO patrons, If the reve-
nue. in each case be the same.
The maximum domestic rate at
this time is three-quarters of a
cent per gallon, with a 10 per cent
discount if paid by the tenth This
is at the rate of 1918 per 1000
gallons. The company intends to
increase the rate of discount to
about thirty-three and one-third pei
cent, making the charge only S.
! per 1000 gallons, if the service be
paid for by the tenth of the month
The company is at this time sup
plying about 100000 gallons o.
water to consumers each day.

with pencil resting behind his ear in
business fashion. got into the same
car. The shirt-sleeved and hatless per-
son got OF the car at a top floor, where
Danny and the professor also left it.
With warning gesture. the shirt
sleeved and hatless one motioned the
other two to a distant corner of the
hall There he was introduced to the
professor by Danny as an old friend
who had charge of the racing wires
over which the odds and results on all
races were transmitted to the pool
rooms throughout the middle west
rs 1t all right?" whispered the
breathless Danny.
AS right as a compass. Does your
friend understand that I'm to get half
of the winnings?'
mo. / haven't had time to explain to
him yet. l know he's all right,
though"
The flattered professor beamed at
Danny's enthusiastic words of indorse-
ment, and then it was explained to
him that Mr.. Brown, the Western
Union race wire manager, could with
hold the result of each race after 1t
came in until he had telephoned Danny
and given him time to get down a good
bet in the poo room before they knew
that the race was off. Danny promised
to explain matters more fully to the be-
fuddled professor on their way to the
pool room. AS soon as they had taken
leave of the fictitious Manager Brown,
the latter walked downstairs to the
second floor, where he had left boy
holding his hat and coat, and DOMINIC
these he was out and away from the
building five minutes behind Danny
and the professor.

this time thoroughly bewildered Herr
Oberman, when they had reached

and then Wen hurry upstairs and get
a bet down.
Just so Well be certain everything
will go through all right, well only

then IL 1t is o. K. we can pick out a

After that, there's nothing TO hinder us
from taking in some of the other rooms

Herr Oberman wiped his Derspfring

The two waited for ten minutes, after
which time the operator announced
that the finish of the fourth race at

to the bar. Before they had taken

such wealth easily acquired from the
pool room men. He thought this about
the cleverest scheme he had ever
heard Of and so expressed himself with
much show OF enthusiasm. The two
conspirators had just finished drink

planning to the bartender that he was

booth before anyone else could beat
him to It,

quented by a much smaller though a
more select crowd of patrons than the
ordinary pool room. Danny whispered
to him that Military Man was the horse
in the fifth race, but that the odds
were only even money. He rendered a
hundred dollar bill to a prosperous
looking person to bet on the horse in
the fifth race at Los Angeles.
The operator called off the descrip-
ton of the running of the race from
start to finish, and Military Man was
not heard from until the stretch was
reached; then he was making one of
his famous home-stretch runs, and as
was expected by Danny and the pro-
fessor. Military Man was announced as
the winner.
That night Danny Roberts reported
still further progress to Doc Floyd
and Jack Cleland. He had parted with
Herr Oberman with the understanding
that they were to meet at the lunch
hour on the morrow and pick out a
race that gave promise of paying big
odds for the winner. Accordingly the
appointment was kept and the fourth
race on the Los Angeles track was
selected as the one giving greatest
