of the wave motor is also applied to
windmills. and it is claimed that these
wave motors are the most sensitive
ever devised. In fact, they are said to
be 20 per cent more sensitive than the
thermometer used by the weather bu-
reau. They are being built in sizes
ranging from 1 to 800 horse power.
In places where the wave motors are
installed they will be used to supple
ment the power of the water-driven
wheel. As the wave motor works all
the time. the energy in the form OF
electricity is taken off and utilized
through a storage battery, which in
emergencies acts as a reservoir OF
power.

Mime. Helen Therry. who appears here
next Monday with the italian Grand
Opera company made a big hit IN ST.
Louis, when she sang the title role of
the opera Fedora The st. Louis Star
says of her:
Nine. Therry so intelligently improved
the ample opportunity afforded by the
title role as to be the justly dominant
figure throughout the evening. The de-
mand made upon her was more trying
in its dramatic than in it's vocal aspect,
and 1t was met with a competent au-
thorit ativenesS that stamps Therry as a
player OF undeniable. power. Alike in the
piteouS emotion of the first act in the
compelling dramatic intensity of the
second and in the overpowering force
of the sudden transition from exquisite
joy to ineXorable tragedy in the third,
she was at every moment mistress of
her art and so thoroughly surrendered
to its requirements as to give her work
a distinction most uncommon in opera.
Vocally, also, she was in complete SYM
pathy with the role, Communicating a ca
pacity for musical expression of dra-
matte feeling which justifies her choice
as an interpreter of this exacting Gior-
dano score. Her triumph last night was
signal and well deserved, the big au-
dience responding with the l5eenest en-
thusiasm to its appeal of artistry of the
first order.

Eureka Can Use 1000 q. P.

The bringing into Eastern Nevada Of
electric power should prove of i'm
mense benefit. especially to the mining
industry in Eureka and adjacent camps.
where the cost of fuel for power figures
as one of the highest operating ex
penses.
From the amount of work now going
on, and that already p'auned. the
SENTINEL is informed by officials of the
mining companies that this district can
utiliz, from 500 to 1000 horse power by
the first Of next July.
The Eureka Windfall Mining Com.
pany has plsnned to install a power
plant at the Eureka & Palisade Railway
depot here and transmit the current to
its mine aud mill. a distance of about
FIVE miles. aud is now negotiating with
several of the Eastern electric com.
panies for a 500 horse power plant.
If the Nevada California Company
intends putting its line through Eureka
to Ely Immediately, it would seem that
the installing Of the Eureka. Windfall
plant would not be necessary, as the
former company is reported to have
ample power to supply all Eastern
Nevada.

BAD AIR CONDITION OVERCOME
New Air Shaft Completed at
Windfall and Work Resumed
Throughout the Mine

Supt. @. T. Wiedman informs the
SENTINEL that the air shaft connecting
a drift ON the 200-foot level by an in
cline upraise Of 1873 feet to a similar
drift on the 100 level, was completed
this week, aud good air has now been
obt ,ined throughout the Windfall
mine.
Mr.. Wiedman and the men engaged
in putting through the air shaft feel
particularly proud of this piece of
work. in that the AKA upraise of 1873 feet
was completed in IL days. Thi Is is o n
sidered extraordinarily fast work. for
bad air general makes uprising for
any considerable distance slow and
dj sicult work. This trouble was over
come by bringing in the air pipe to the
face Of the upraise aud keeping the
men employed on the work constantly
supplied with good air from the sur
face. The upraise Of 1873 feet is re-
ported to have been run through ore
the entire distance. blocking out an
immense body of milling ere between
the 100 and 200.foCt levels.
AS the completion Of the air shaft
now gives good ventilation throughout
the mine. the work Of cutting out and
timbering the new station at the 1885,
foot level will be commenced next
week. Crosscnttipg aud blocking out
the ore bodies to be extracted when the
new cyanide mill is completed is being
carried on throughout the different
workings 10 the mine.
The stormy weather during the week
has considerably delayed the oonstruc.
ton work on the new mill. the bad
condition of the roads greatly inter.
fering with the delivery Of Lumbar and
other material at the mine.
