AEROPLANE RECORDS
OF THE PAST YEAR

A year ago the highest altitude at
tained was about 5000 feet, the great
est speed sixty-seven miles an hour,
the longest continuous flight 246 miles
in FIVE hours, the longest overwater
flight forty-fve miles, and three was
the largest number Of passengers car
ried. Since then an altitude of H.
476 feet has been reached, continu-
Gus flight of 3S8 miles, and an over
water flight of .40 miles have been
achieved, and as many as thirteen per-
sons have been carried in an aero
plane.
Within the year past the most haz-
ardous trips have been successfully ac-
complished. Snow-capped mountains,
yawning ravines and lakes and seas
and canyoned cities have intreped air
men. The icy Businesses of the Alps
impeded the progress Of such indomi-
table conquerors as Hannibal and Ma
poleon. But the daring and lamented
Chavez, rising 1000 feet high and bat
Ting with wind and storm, scared
over them in flight that will always
remain an epic in the chronicles of
aviation. The Harz and the Pyrenees
have become mere "bunkers' in the
sport, over which the aeroplanes raced
triumphantly just a few weeks ago.
Niagara Falls, the Irish sea, the Gulf
of Mexico, Long Island sound and the
Gulf of Genoa have all been flown
over, and airmen have toyed with the
surf of the Atlantic and the placid
waters of the Pacific. As for tn Eng
lish channel, that immemorial barrier
between England and Franee-it has
been reduced practically to an aerial
ferry. How the world applauded two
years ago when Bleroit, taking the
wings of the morning, cleared the dis
tance between Calais and Dover, and
dropped down upon the surprised
Britishers. Yet in the past twelve
months the channel has been crossed
and recrossed, not simply from coast
to coast, but from capital to capital
as Pierre Prier flew, going from Lon
don to Paris, $50 miles, in little over
three hours, and rs did Tom Sopwith,

SEASIDE PARKS FOR
GREATER NEW YORK

At last Greater New York, built up
on one of the finest ocean fronts in the
world, is to have its own seaside
park-two of them, in fact. The
board of estimates has adopted the
proposals to acquire the site of the
burned over tract of Dreamland on
Coney island and the 250-acre strip of
ocean front at Rockaway park, the one

The Rockaway beach front may not
yet be reached so quickly or so cheaply
that the masses of the city can use it
for recreation, but the growth of
Greater New York is in its direction,
the means of transit thither will be
ample. Meanwhile, the hospital for
tuberculosis children, for which a fund
or $250,000 raised by the Association
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor, has been waiting since 1907, will
be erected upon the Rockaway site

valescents, relieving the pressure on
the city hospitals, will also be placed
at Rockaway. Doubtless extensions

NIGHTS YAUD-
.Ey|LLE AT AERODOME

For tonight and Sunday night
Messrs. Evan & Stidd are able to offer
to the patrons of the Aerodome an un-
usually good bill of vaudeville, as well
as moving pictures. For the chief
feature they have secured the ser
vices of the australian comedy Jug
gler, Matiera,' who has just com
pleted tour of the Pacific coast
Judging from the complimentary no
tees received by him from the coast
papers, his feats of juggling should
furnish a rare treat.
One of the best and most interest
ing moving pictures shown here for
a long time is the feature film, entitl-
ed Herod and the New Born King,
which will be run both nights.
As usual on vaudeville nights, the
price of admission for adults has been
raised to 25 cents.
After the show this evening the
weekly dance. which was postponed
last night, will be given at the Nixon
opera house.

BONN|F|FLD RESI-
D[NCE SCORCHED

At 2:15 this afternoon the frebell
rang a sharp alarm, which was prompt
ly responded to by the department, as
well as citizens generally. glance
showed the fire to be at the residence
of Recorder Bonnifeld, corner of Fifth
and Bridge streets, the blaze burning
up fiercely from the rear of the house.
Although it seemed an age until the
water was turned on, it was probably
not more than two minutes from the
time the alarm was sounded until a
full stream was playing on the fire,
which was soon extinguished.
The fire was caused from the explos-
ion of coaloil stove in the kitchen,
over which Miss Blanche Bonnifeld
was standing, and this young lady had
a narrow escape from serious injury,
the blaze slightly burning her about
the face and head.
At this hour it is hard to estimate
the full damage to the house and con-
tents, although it is probable the
greatest loss was oceasioned by smoke
and water.

MRS. BELL TEN
Derby LAID TO REST

A large concourse of relatives and
friends attended the obsequies of the
late Mrs. w. j. Bell at st. Paul 3
Catholic church yesterday afternoon,
paying a silent tribute to the esteem
in which deceased and her family are
held in the community.
Without attempt at oratory, Father
Meehan, in words spoken from the
heart told of the many Christian vir-
tues possessed by the departed, urging
that all the faithful offer up prayers
for the repose of her SOUL
Music appropriate to the occasion
was furnished by choir composed OF
George Evan, organist; Mrs. P. b.
Roberts, Miss Minnie Bell, Miss
Electa Hurst and Miss Lucy Laveaga,
concluding with the beautiful hymn,
" Nearer, My God, to Thee
At the conclusion of the simple
services, the casket was wheeled out
to the church entrance, where the con-
gregation was given an opportunity
to take a last look at the features of
the departed one. The pallbearers,
Judge f. Ducker, J. Sheehan, G. W.
Muller, G. B. Brown, G. d. Mackay
and G.. M. Rose then reverently placed
the casket in the waiting hearse and
the funeral cortege was formed, which
was one of the largest ever seen in
Winnmucca.
Interment was in the Catholic GENE
terry, where the last rites of the church
were performed by Father Meehan.

TOCOLON|zF LANDS
ALONG new ROUTE

The Canyon Construction company
has been organized at Caldwell, Idaho,
for the purpose of colonizing the
lands along the line of the "Golden
Gate Route,' now being built from
the Idaho town to Winnemucca. The
new company is composed of promi-
nent citizens of Idaho, with f. r.
Place general manager. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Place was the
original promoter of the Golden
Gate Route,o selling same to the
Hartman interests bout year ago.
The Silver State is in receipt of the
following letter, which explains the
offer being made by the company to
intending purchasers:
Editor Silver State:
We want ten thousand people to go
to Idaho: more articularly do we want
them to purchase lots and go into bust
ness along the new railroad now being
constructed out of Caldwell, Idaho.
This new line, owned and to be operat-
ed by the Oregon Short Line railroad,
passes directly through the great
Payette Boise government reclamation
project-water now being furnished
the settler which assures him a positive
income from his land for all time to
come.
The Canyon Construction company
owns the townsites of Greenleaf and
Wilder. These two sites are ideal in
their location, being situated right in
the midst of the most highly product
i've lands in Idaho. Our faith in this
favored land is so great that we are
offering to the investing public the
following proposition: IF you will
sell, say, ten lots at any price quoted
in our sale price to ten different invest
ors. collecting the purchase price and
placing same in escrow with any bank
or banker in your city, we will con-
sent to the purchaser choosing any
one of their number to visit the prop
erty at our expense, we furnishing

ervation, dining car and hotel ex-
penses. etc IF, after a thorough ex-
animation Of the properties in ques-
tion, the representative finds that we
have misrepresented, in any way,
shape, form or manner, the lucky one
Of the ten has had vacation at our
expense and the purchasers draw down
their money.
IF. on the other hand. we have
"played fair the purchase money
is ours less the commission paid to
you for securing the business. Anoth
er feature that we believe should ap-
peal to the intending western settler
is that. to all purchasers of lots to
the value of $3.50, we viii allow rail
road fare one wav. We are not at
tempting to sell something for moth

sition strictly upon its merits.

NEED OF GOOD ROADS
IN THE STATE OF NEVADA

There is no place in the world
where good roads can be built as
cheaply as in Nevada. and there is
probably no other section of the
United States where such an invest
ment would bring better returns.
Good roads will not only bring thous-
ands of autoists through the state,
but they will also materially assist
in opening up the fertile valleys and
developing the latent mining re-
sources. Nevada can make no better
investments than in the building of
good roads, and plenty of them.-Ely

DATE FOR THANKSGIVING
SET BY PRESIDENT TAFT

President Taft, is is learned, will
designate Thursday November both,
as Thanksgiving day this year.
1t always has been the custom to fix
the last Thursday in the month. This
year there has been some doubt be-
cause November happens to include
five instead of four Thursdays. The
White house has been besieged by
theatrical managers and those in
charge of college football games to
settle this doubt so that definite ar.
rangements could be made for the use
of the array of special performances
and sports that mark the day.

COMPROMISE ON
WOOL BILL EFFECTED

The wool bill as agreed upon by the
conference committee, will be report
ed to the senate by Senator LaFol-
lette and to the house Of represents
tives of Congressman Underwood.
These men will direct the course Of
the bill in those two bodies.
The bill was so amended 80 to re-
quire that the proposed law shall take
effect October l instead Of January 1.
as provided in the senate and house
measures.
The conferees hope to have the re-
port adopted in both houses today. The
president is expected to veto it.
The free list bill was under consid-
Grafton about fifteen minutes but the
conflict between the Representatives Of
the two houses was SO pronounced that
lit became necessary to postpone ac-
tion.
After fixing 20 per cent ad valorem
as the duty on raw wool and chang
ing the wool classification so a. to
conform to the language of the house
bill, the conferees soon reached an
agreement on the other matters Of de-
tail.
The change of classification has the
effect of fixing q flat duty ON all woods
and while it reduces the rates ON ordi-
nary woods from 35 per cent 40 pro-
vided in the senate bill, and increases
those Of the house bill from 20 per
cent, it also increases the rates ON ear
pet woods from 10 per cent, ~ pro-
vided in the senate bill, to 90 per cent
fixed by the conferees.
| In most respects the duties on the
manufactures of wool were increased
over the rates Of the house bill and
reduced below those Of the senate bin
SO as to make them correspond with
the raw wool rate; but in some in
stances they were made higher than
those Of either measure.
One rate of 20 per cent on nolls and
wastes was agreed to, while rate of
"a per cent was determined upon for
combed wool and tops, including row
ing and roping, and SO per cent on
yarns.
There was a compromise in the
matter of classification on cloths,
dress goods, clothing, weddings, blan-
kets and flannels. In the house bill
these subjects were covered in Ave
paragraphs, whereas in the senate bill
all were embraced in one paragraph

QUARANTINE ON WESTERN
SHEEP WILL BE LIFTED

Recent inspections of sheep in Wy
oming and other western states, con-
Quoted by the United tates bureau Of
animal industry, indicate that the
lip and leg liberation has been elimin-
ated from the western herds. As a
result of these findings, the quarantine
order issued by the bureau some time
ago has been revoked, quarantine no
longer being deemed necessary. The
order lifting the quarantine from the
western herds became effective on

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECTED FOB BELMONT MINE

A deep shaft and extensive explora-
tion of the Goldfield properties on
commensurate with the recognized
merit of the proposition are among
the plans announced by M. B. Cutter,
president of the Tonopah & Goldfield
railroad and one of the largest stock
holders in the Goldfeld Belmont Min
ing company, who has been in Gold
fild for several days on business con-
nected with his mining and railroad
interests.
"The owners of the Goldfield Bel
mont company have great faith in the
possibilities of the property and we
now propose to develop it in manner
that will prove its worth to the fullest
extent" said Mr.. Cutter. "The new
shaft will be located on the Quartzite
No. claim, and east of the Black
Butte. We have some men prospect
ing the ground to determine the best
location for the new shaft, and work
will be started as soon as it is possi-
BILE to get preliminaries arranged.
"We have had this matter under
consideration for some time, but Mr..
Bradshaw, general manager of the
Tonopah Belmont, who is also manager
of our Goldfeld Belmont, has been SO
busy recently with the new mill and
other work on the Tonopah Belmont
that he has not been able to get start
ed on the proposed new work on the
Coldfield Belmont.
"It has not been definitely decided
as to just how deep we will 60 with
this new shaft, but we will keep going
Just as long as the showing of the
property iustifes. There will be ne
more leasing on the Goldfeld Bel
mont. but the company will develop il
with the idea of making as big mine
as il is possible to make out of this
property. We know that the property
is in a heavily mineralized zone ant
we have large acreage. The pas
record of the Belmont and contiguous
properties. including the Black Butte
and Daisy, together with their presen
showing. is sufficient to Justify the ut
most confidence in the future of thi
section.
"The work will be directed by Mr.
Bradshaw. whom we consider one o.
the most capable mining men in th'
country. He has certainly made goot
to our entire satisfaction on the Tono
pah Belmont. and we believe that h
will make big mine out of the Gold
field Belmont.
development will also be continu
ed in the present Belmont workings
We will follow the ore that is nov
exposed and also expect to open othe
ore shoots in that neighborhood. Great
er depth will be secured either b.
sinking the present shaft or by
winze on the ore that is now bein
developed, and an energetic eampaig
