With the view to locating potash

completing the location work on a
group of claims, C. W. Gaby. Abe
Shalenbarger and Bud Ross left
here Tuesday morning for the Rail-
road valley country. The opera
lions of the Railroad Valley Saline
company have been of such an
encouraging nature lately that
public interest has increased as to
the possibilities of the valley, and a
number of residents of Ely have

TEDDY AND THE BOSSES

The Taft and Roosevelt bureaus
at Washington are sending out
barrels OF literature that will
make splendid democratic am
munition in the event that either
receives the nomination at Chicago.
A sample nf this literature is
the following, taken from a recent
issue of the Silver State. Taft
supporter:
Theodore Roosevelt was Presi-
dent of the United States from
September l6. 1901, to March 1,
1909.
During the whole of that time
Senators Nelson w Aldrirh, of
Rhode Island, and Boies Penrose,
of Pennsylvania, were members of
the United States Senate.
Joseph G. Cannon was elected
speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives in 1908, two years
after MIR. Roosevelt became Presi-
dent, and served in that capacity
throughout the whole Roosevelt
administration.
Thomas c. Platt. the boss" of
New York state, who first suggested
Roosevelt for Vice-President, was
member of the Senate in the
Roosevelt administration until he
died.
Senator W. Murray Crane, of
Massachusetts, was elected with the
cordial assent of President ROose-
welt ard was always cordially
welcomed at the White House as
long as MIR. Roosevelt remained
there.
Senator William Lorimer served
in the House # Representatives
through the whole of the Roosevelt
administration and Mr.. Roosevelt
said of him: ''Lorimer was my
friend before my star was in its
ascendancy. and | am Billy's friend
now"
Roosevelt sent William H. Taft
to Akron, Ohio, to den punce boss"
Cox, of Cincinnati. and then later
ate at the same table with Cox as
an intimate friend.
Whsn Gas" Addicks was turned
back at every move by the decent
element OF Delaware Roosev cit had

tinn in 1904.
Will an body point out specie

when Theodore Roosevelt ever
denounced any of these men while
he was President?
Did he ever try to defeat Joseph
G. Cannon for speaker?
Did he ever refuse Nelson w.
Aldrich or Boise Penrose an open
door and a cordial welcome at the
White House?
Did he ever refuse Tom Platt

he could serve his own selfish ends

USE OF COINS IN
JEWELRY IS ILLEGAL

not so popular today as il was
once, say the jewelers.. Never the
less. coins are still used to some
extent in this way and that is why
Washington jewellers were interest
ed in report from Denver
recently that out there the local
head of the secret service had re-
eceived orders from the treasury
department to see that the federal
statute regarding the DETACHMENT
of current COINS was enforced.
This law which is section $3.50
of the revised statutes, has been a
sort of hugaboo for jewellers for
many years because from time to
time the use of certain coins in
Jewelry has been a fad, and not
every jeweler has been aware Just
TO what extent it came within the
law. For instance, a man may
have one of the old gold dollars
and have hankering to wear it
on his watch chain. The simplest
way of doing this is to take it 10 a
jeweler and get him to punch a
hole in it.
No doubt there are a good many
people who would be surprised at
the curt refusal they would get
from most jewellers if su:h are
quest were made. Should
jeweler accommodate you the
secret service man whu caught
you wearing that punctured coin
on your watch chain could put you
in jail and the je"eIer, too, and it
wouldn't make a bit of difference
how old the coin was you were
wearing. Curiously enough. you
would be in the same class with the
counterfeiter and the man who
plugs coins.
Not long ago when the Lincoln
cent first came out some of
the jewelers., struck by the artistic
merit Of the coins and the popu-
larity they met with, thought ii
would be a nice thing to make use
of them to be used for watch
charms and brooches and pins.
Then some of them happened to
think of the law, and decided to
find out how far they could go.
The law says that any person COM
mits crime who "fraudulenty, by
any art. way or means, defaces,
mutilates impairs, diminishes.
falsifies. scales or lightens" the
gold and silver coins Of the United
States. While this made no men,
tion of copper coins, the jewellers
concluded not to embellish the
popular Lincoln cents in any way,
and there the matter ended.
1t often happens that some body
digs up a gold or silver coin of an
ancient vintage and gets a desire
to have his monogram nicely
engraved on it for use as an orna-
ment. Jwelers frequently get
requests to do such work, but
there again the law comes in.
Cutting a monogram on a coin
lightens it and again brings you
into the class Of those who tnmper
with the currency.
On the other hand, suppose you
ask jeweler to cut a gold dollar
in the shape of n diamond and
make stickpin out of it. This he
would gladly do. and with such a
pin in your scarf you could go into
the treasury building at Washing.

Sam wouldn't have a word to say

TIRE INDUSTRY
CROWS RAJ |DLY
Expert Figures $4,000, 1000
Worth Will Have Been Used
During 1912.

A statistician in one of the trade
journals estimates that in the year 1912
$12O,OOO,OOO worth of tires will have
been sold in the United States.
He based his figures on the fact that
there are 100000 automobiles in use
! In the country, and that each car re-
quires six tires, according to the esti-
mate Of automobile tire manufacturers.
This means the total output of the en-
tire country will be 100000 tires. Fig
uring the average cost Of a tire to the
car owner a $50, this means the Amer
! lean motoring public will spend on
tires alone in 1912 $120,O00,O0O.
From January / Of this year to the
middle of June the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, manufacturers of the
| o-Rim- Cut tire, has placed on the
market 100000 tires, and by the end Of
| the year p w. Litchfield, the factory
manager, estimates his output will
reach 100000 tires.
This" says Litchfeld, means that
The Goodyear company will produce
one-fourth of the country's entire out
put
Every day we are contriving some
improvement, and the motorist is ben
efited by the better quality tire pro-
duced through scientific and systematic
research Of the chemistry of crude
rubber, and in the design and construc-
ton OF the tire with the end in view of
giving the motorist a product not only
economical. but of high efficiency in
point of service"
The Goodyear company made the first
| big effort to place its No-Rim- Cut tire
before the public three years ago, and
the fact that today it is equipping one
| fourth of the cars in the country is sig-
nifiCant that American business meth

to such an extent in three years is sure

! can progression.
In April. 1910, the Goodyear Tire and
| Rubber Company had 1925 names on
its payroll, and on the last roll there
were $500.

EXPENSE OF TRUCK

There are a few simple rules" said
r. d. Barr, manager of the local Fire
stone tire branch, that every user of
motor trucks would do well to instin in
the minds of his drivers:
For instance, overlooking and over
speeding are the two greatest causes of
excessive tire expense Rubber has a
certain amount of life and if over
worked can not reCuperate.
Another thing that Shortens the life
is brakes that are out of true If one is
tighter than the other one tire takes
most of the strain. Wheels should be
trued up, and oil and grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on the tires.
DRIVERS should be careful to start
and stop gradually. not with a jerk and
always in a straight line
