FOWLER TO START
AGAIN MONDAY

A. G.. Sutro, who arrived in town this
morning ON No. to arrange for Fowl
er's coming, received wire at 10
o'clock stating that the aviator had
made a start but had been compelled
to return to Colfax. He left the Cali
fornia town at 6:45 this mornig to q
good start, and at Blue Canyon, a dis
tance of "a miles, had attained a
height of 1000 feet, considered sufi-
cient to carry him over the summit.
The altitude, however, evidently had a
weakening effect on the engines of the
biplane, and Fowler considered it t e
part of prudence to reinforce them
before attempting to negotiate the
mountains. Having no landing place
in the vicinity of Blue Canyon, he was
compelled to return to Colfax.
Will Start Again Monday.
Positive assurance comes from Col
fax that Fowler will start tgain Mon
day morning. As the engines Of his
machine have been Strengthened, he
hopes to pass the mountains without
erious difficulty. He is scheduled to
stop at Reno for breakfast ana is due
at Winnemucca at 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon. Upon his leaving Love
lock word will be telephoned here, and
the committee has arranged to have
the frebell rung and the whistle blown
at the Western Pacific shops. Citizens
will thus be given the best part of an
hour to reach the ball grounds, where
the landing will be made.

HEAVY INCREASE IN ALUM
MUM OUTPUT OF COUNTRY

Not over ReutrdblOn ago dluHlHum
was little more than curiosity. 1t
was worth SIS or more pound and its
total production in the United States
was less than hundred pounds year,
notwithstanding the fact that alumni
mum is the most abundant of all the
metals in the eaTth's crust, of which
aluminium oxide forms about Is per
cent. The great progress made in the
industry is noted in the fact that a re-
port on bauxite and aluminium for
1910, by w. G. Phalen, just published
by the United States geological sur
vey, shows a consumption in the
United States in that year of 4T,734,
900 pounds, valued at nearly $12,000,-
900. The price has thus dropped from
81 an ounce to about 23 cents a pound.
Mr. Phalen states that although
aluminium has in recent years become
a most important economic metal, it
is at present produced only from
bauxite, comparatively scarce min
eraI, and that even the great discovery
which made this possible is only the
first stage of wrestling the metal from
its various rock and earth eombina-
tions. Aluminium is an essential con-
stituent of all important rocks except
sandstone and limestone, and is found
in all elays. The supply is therefore
practically limitless, awaiting only
theperfection of a process for cheap
the perfection of a process for cheap
May Be Produced From Common Clay
Mr.. Phalen mentions number of
recently patented processes which
show progress in the cheap extraction
of the metal from the common sources
of supply. As aluminium in its various
forms, both pure and as an alloy, pos
sesses many remarkable qualities, it
may be welcomed as a coming metal
of great utility. Should ii become as
abundant and cheap metal as may
reasonably he expected. the industry
holds boundless possibilities. An al

prices wculd make it rather expen-
sive. hut it is claimed to have qualities
as good as Bessemer steel. although II

Aluminium may therefore have wide

material to brooches and hatpins.

Will Open Pos
tai SAYINGS BANK

This morning Postmaster j. A. Rog-
ers received advices from the depart
ment at Washington which stated that
the Winnemucca office had been des-
ignated as postal savings bank,
which will be opened for business on
October 18th.
Although several postal banks have
been opened in the state and are re-
ported to be doing a fair business, it
is not thought that the Winnemucca
bank will be overburdened with de-
posits, owing to the fact that this is
not considered much of savings bank
town.
Postmaster Rogers states that unless
the business should prove to be unex-
pectedly heavy, it will be handled by
his present force of clerks.

TODAY IS JEWISH
new YEAR 5,672

The Jewish New Year, 5672 since
the biblical account of the creation of
the world, was usnered in with solemn
prayer by the Children of Israel last
evening, tn eeve of the New Year, and
the celebration will continue until
dark tomorrow
Jewish festivities always begin with
the eve of the holiday. Rosh Hasha-
nah, Israel's New Year, is observed
during two days by all Israelites, ex-
cept the most reformed, who celebrate
one day only. The celebration consits
principally of solemn sericesv in all
temples and synagogues, commencing
on the evening of the first day during
the forenoon of both holidays and
brief services in the afternoons and
evenings.
The holy season began with the first
of the month of Ellul, which was Au-
gust 25th A feature of the celebra-
tion is the sounding of. the shofar,
ram 'shorn, indicating by its shrill
notes that the devout may break their
morning fast. The orthodox observe
the ancient custom of going to the
bank of some running stream or creek
to "cast all their sins into the depths
of the sea.
The Day of Atonemenf, the most
sacred day in the Jewish year, will be
observed from Sunday evening, Octob-
er 1st, until Monday night, October Cd,
when the sounds of the shofar will
announce the end of the twenty four
hour feast.

THE FORBIDDEN AND UN-
KNOWN LAND OF TIBET

In his recent presidential address be-
fore the Royal Geographical society,
Major L. Darwin said that "the bend
of the Brahmaputra is still drawn by
guesswork on our maps.' About nine
ty miles of the middle course of this
great river is still unknown because
no white explorer or Indian traveller
has yet been able to cross the region
through which it flows. The Abor
tribes have kept all strangers from
passing through their mountainous
country, the Assam Tibet borderland.
On account of the hostility of these
tribes the question of the sources of
the Brahmaputra remained for many
years a geographical conundrum. Ma
tive Indian explorers had traced the
great Tsanpo river along which most
of the population of Tibet lives, within
ninety miles of the Brahmaptura.
There the Ambors stopped them. Some
geographers affirmed for years that the
Tsanpo must be the source of the Ira
wadi river of Burma, but it was shown
conclusively in 1886 that the head
streams of that river rose far to the
east on the slopes of the Nankin snow
mountains.
Then India sent surveyors into Tibet
to put marked logs afloat in the Tsan-
po while other men, hundred miles
south, watched the Brahmaputra for
the appearance of the logs, but none of
them was ever found. The exploration
of the regions east and west of the
Abor country at length showed con-
clusively that the great river of Tibet
could be nothing else than the upper
course of the Brahmaputra; but not
even yet have explorers mapped that
ninety mile gap in the river.
Again and again the attempt has
been made to cross these savage up
lands The first victims of the Abors
were Krick and Boury, who were kill
ed in 1850. The last is Noel William
son, who led a party of two hundred
men into the Abor country a few
months ago. The party was massa-
cred almost to a man. The British
have twice sent punitive expeditions
among these mountains. 1t remains to
he seen how much longer the surly and
inhospitable tribes win defy the Brit
ish power an ddelay the complete ex-
ploration of one of the great rivers Of
the world.-New York Sun.

SAMPLE Y[RNAC-
ULAR OF CROOKS

In "Alias Jimmy Valentine" the
play of reformed crooks, which comes
to the Nixon next Friday evening, the
author has employed large assort-
ment of language in high favor among
the lawless fraternity. Many Of these
words and phrases may be clear to the
layman; others may bemore obscure.
Here is partial explanation of the
talk of Jimmy and his pals:
Alias-included in the title of the
play, is, in the jargon of the crook, a
monaker meaning name other
than ones own.
Copper-an officer of the law of any
SORT Also in the hidden meaning ga
crook who betrays another crook to
the police. In this latter instance it
is the most contemptuous term one
crook can call another.
Sucker-he or that which hath some
thing or one not versed in the doings
or language Of the underworld, who
may be easily deceived.
Bit--a term of imprisonment.
Slough-to arrest.
Kick in-give or give back, as in
"kiek in'' with those chocolates,
which may be considered polite tea
party conversation.
Stool, or stool pigeon-a person in
the employ of the police and in the
confidence of crooks, who betrays the
latter to the former.
Vega tramp criminal, the name
coming from the first tramp, German
named Yegg who, instead Of solicit
ing or begging, took what he wanted
by force. 1t has later come to distin
guish the lowest class of housebreak-
ers. Yegg was the first man to boil
nitro glycerine and gun-cotton into a
liquid which could be carried in the
pocket.
Soup-used in connection with safe
blowing, and the liquid form, nitro
glycerine and gun-cotton, was invented
by Yegg.
Gopher-a safe or strong box in
which valuables are conevaled.
Blow gopher--to wreck safe bv
the old fashioned method of drilling
inserting an explosive, and blowing off
the door.

MARCONrS ASSO-
CIATE in TROUBLE
Especial to the Silver State.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 3d.
PHILIPPE Vignoli, former associate of
Marconi, inventor of wireless teleg-
raphy, who was apprehended in Los
Angeles several months ago on the
charge of obtaining $4,000 by false
pretenses from Antonio Scarpelli., q
local contractor, has made j. Rufus
Wallingford's most ambitious promo
tion schemes appear as the work of a
novice, according to testimony ad-
duced at a trial now in progress before
Judge E. II. Sullivan and jury IN the
Spokane county superior court in this
city.
Scarpelli alleges that vignoi repre-
sented he had an invention in mind
whereby he would be enabled to see
around the world adding that when the
apparatus was perfected Scarpelli
would have no difficulty whatever in
meeting face to face, as it were, his
relatives in Italy at any time of the
day or night.
Vignoli, the principal witness testi-
fed, told him that mountains, sky
scrapers, ramparts of steel, waves ef
the sea and all the obscuring phenom-
ena of the elements must give way to
the powerful lenses and ingenious e IN
trivances as easily as the plate glass
of a show window affords light to the
structure. Scarpelli advanced more
than $4,000 to the inventor on this
representation.
The specific charge is that vig1oli
secured $500 from Bertha ScarDel,i,
niece of the complaining witness, by
telling her that Scarpelli told him he
might have the money. The girl gave
it to him ON the understanding that
the money was to be used in perfectiuS
the inevntion. Instead, however, Wig
noli hied himself to the south, where
he lived as gentleman of leisure.
While in Los Angeles Vignoli dis
patched letters and kilograms to the
Scarpelli family, asking for $500 with
which to complete the invention. His
arrest followed with the foregoing re-
suit.

AT THE BOTTOM
OF MASON TRAGEDY

A Mason special to the Reno Gazette
says that DR.. w. Eikner of that place
has been held responsible by the coro-
ners Jury for the death of w. j. OF
ter. who was an undertaken and furni
tufe dealer of Mason.
Otter was shot and instantly killed
by Fikner at the Mason hotel Tuesday
and the verdict of the jury was that
he met his death from wounds inflict-
ed by a pistol in the hands of Eikner.
The entire community is greatly
excited over the shooting as both men
were quite prominent and each had
host of friends. Otter was shot as he
emerged from the hotel dining room.
Eikner stood Just outside the door and
fred FIVE shots. Two bullets entered
Otter's head and he fell to the floor.
when Eikner fred two more bullets
into the PROSTATE form of his victim.
Otter died almost instantly and Elk,
ner has refused to discuss the t-agea''
since he surrendered himself to t.
officers. immediately after the shn~
ing. 1t Is understood that some 'Ntf
esting testimony will be 'ntr' =
drr'ng the progress Of the prHl "
examination.
prner he's it that F'F~H~ r-'~~-
Otter Of being too irtim"to with Me
F'Nner end warned him several days
avicr - the shooting to cease his at
'entions to her or he would kill him.
Discovering that his injunction had
not been obeyed he sought Otter at the
hotel at an hour he knew Otter would
ne there and carried out his threat
n. de some days before.
Roth parties were highly respected
and vel thought of here. Eikner has
mary friends who contend that his
course was justified. On the other
hand Otter friends insist that he was
not entirely to blame for the trouble
at the Eikner homo.

CRUSHED HIS VICTINS SKULL.
Aiken County Man Also Charged With
J Firing Three Buildings.

Aiken, Aug. 1S.-Three buildings
are burned to the ground and negro,
Ike Sanders, lies at the point of death,
with his skull crushed to a pulp, as
|the result of a wild outbreak which oc-
- rred about 9 o'clock last night on
le place of Mr.. Morgan Holley, some
In or fifteen miles south of here.
ISLANDERS, it seems, had gone to the
Eome of one Lee about dark, and they
had been sitting on the steps talking
4 a friendly manner when Lee went
10 the wood pile, gathered an armful
IF 1ightwood and with an axe entered
he house, turned upon the <unsuspect-
pg Sanders and struck him three rapid
md terrific blows In the back of the
lead with the axe. Lees wife scream
Id and cried for help and her husband
tttacked her. Dragging her into the
lard, be rained blows on her with a
heavy stick and ended by brutally
iashing her to the ground, but she
arose and fed. Lee then proceeded to
IRE three houses in rapid succession
and made his escape and has not yet
been caught.
It seems that Lee is slow Witted
Fellow, and that some of his neighbors
had taken advantage Of this fact TO
Improperly invade his home, Sanders,
ft seems, openly boasting of the fact.
The .condition of affairs eventually
dawned upon Lee, with the result he
undertook to revenge himself on the
guilty parties.
