DR.. Maurice Fishberg is authority
for the statement that the number of
deaths from tuberculosis among the
Jews is one-third that observed among
the non-Jewish population around
them and living in the same urban en-

this remarkable vitality of the Jews,
and their immunity to sickness in gen.

for over 1000 years dwelling in the
city and are thus able to withstand

NvENTs HOIST CONTROLLER
Makes IL impossible to Have Accident
On Gage as Machinery IL Easily
Controlled by Apparatus

The Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company has just equipped the Cler-
mont and Mohawk shafts with a new
safety apparatus which is designed
TO prevent accidents from oyerwind-
ing which might result In death or
serious injury to men or great dam
age to the gallows frame and hosting
plant. The safety apparatus is a
hoisting engine controller, and is the
invention of c. r. Welsh of Salt Lake
City. who Is represented by Charles
NJ. kinsey as western agent.
Quite a number of mining men
have witnessed tests OF the invention
since IL was installed on the Clermont
and Mohawk hosting plants, and
after repeated unsuccessful attempts
To run the cage up through the sheive
wheel, the verdict has been that there
is no possible chance for an accident
while ascending, even II the engineer
should drop dead at his post while
the engine was in motion. The cage
or bucket stops at its usual place
above the collar of the shaft as
surely and as steadily as though the
engineer was at the brake, because
the controller shuts off the power at
this point, and renders the engine
motionless.
The apparatus consists of COVER

neeted by a chain belt TO the drum

levers that the engineer handles.
thereby making 1t impossible for IL
to ever fail 10 work. The engineer
can not hoist the cage 10 the surface
without slowing up fifty feet below
the collar of the shaft. he having
his engine under control at this point
and If he should fail TO have II under
control. the safety apparatus auto

reached.
Several other properties in the
Goldfleld district will soon be equip
ped with the controller, which has
been seen In action by many of the
leading mining men. Many OF the
largest properties In Colorado, Utah
