Do You Know

Failing in her plan to end her life,
after seven different attempts In as
many months, Laura Griffith, Of At
lanttc City, has developed a more
cheerful view of life, and has signed
on as a bareback rider with a cir
Gus. As a persistent fatalist, Laura,
who is about IS years old, holds the
record. She has tried the poison cup,
the glittering dagger and the more
prosaic method of taking a running
start and butting her head against a
telephone pole. So regularly was she
admitted to the city hospital during
the past year that a cot was labeled
Laura Griffith" and was held in
readiness for her at all hours Of the
day and night.

Railway Station DESTROYED

Fire destroyed the station building
of the Tonopah & Tidewater Railway
Company Saturday morning at
Beatty, and the wife of the station
agent, Harry Naylor, was severely
burned about the face and arms.
Mrs. Naylor was engaged in cleaning
a dress with gasoline. So far as
known there was no fire or light
nearby, but suddenly the gasoline
exploded in the can and the room
was afire in an instant. The smoke
brought aid from the neighbors, but
nothing could be done.---Goldfield

10 Prevent Mine Explosions

An apparatus for the prevention
OF explosions in coal mines was dem
onstrated last week by Prof. Fritz
Haber, director of the institute of
physical chemistry, in the presence
OF Emperor William of Germany at
the annual meeting of the Emperor
William scientific foundation at Ber-
lin. The apparatus combines the
principles of the Davy and electric
lamps, and has been tried already in
the government mines. Many scien-
lists in Germany have been endeavor-
ing to invent such an apparatus since
the Emperor in October last year
suggested the idea. Prof. Haber ha.
named the apparatus The Fire DamI
Whistle" 1t consists of a pair O.
whistles, one supplied with norma
air and the other with mine air, an,
it gives an unmistakable screecl
when the danger point in the min
atmosphere is approaching.

STOCKMEN ARE HIS FOES
Lieutenant-Governor Ross of Ne
vada Tells Coast Paper They
Want His Goat"

In an interview given to The San
Francisco Bulletin during his recent
trip to the coast, Lieutenant Govern
or Ross is quoted as declaring that
the cattlemen Of Nevada have prom
ised to get his goat" for his ac-
tivity in engineering the Tax Com
sion bill through the last Legislature.
The Bulletin article containing the
Lieutenant-G Governor interview fol-
lows:
"You know, we have more square
miles to the man in Nevada than any
other State of the Union. And yet
| believe we have as many square
men to the mile as any State"
This was the tribute to his State
of Lieutenant-Governor Gilbert G..
Ross, leader in the successful tax
reform movement in Nevada, in the
course of an address at the weekly
luncheon of the Home Rule in Taxa.
tion league at a Market street res.
taurant.
Lieutenant Governor Ross de
clared that the Nevada assessors are
being converted to the single ta1
idea as a result of the agitation thai
grew out of abuses in the taxing
system.
" For years past in Nevada, sale
Ross, the burden of taxation has
fallen on the small residence holder
and the business man in the various
towns and settlements. The mar
who owns immense herds of cattle
and hundreds of thousands of acres
( on which to pasture them has rela.
lively paid no taxes
The mall householders and
store-keepers were often taxed for
more than they could sell their prop
erty for, while land that could not
be bought for $50 an acre was as
sessed at $40. And at taxing time
we found that lot of our cattle had
disappeared from the State. The
official reports showed that three or
four times as many sheep were dipped
each year as were taxed.
Conditions became so bad that
Senator Newlands, Governor Oddie,
Senator Massey and myself issued a
call for the organization of a 'Citi-
zen's league We got our bill pro-
viding for tax commission through
the Legislature after a hard fight.
The cattlemen told me they would
increase their herds by one member,
and that member would be my goat
The new tax commission has
procured the raising of taxes as much
as 600 per cent in some cases. AS
SCISSORS have been prevailed upon to
assess improvements as low as pos
sible and they are becoming single
takers at heart

INcANDESCENT LIGHTS
IN UNDERGROUND WORK
Good Lights In the Mine Show
That Miners Work To Greater
Advantage

Ietson Ballet, manager of the
Buckeye Belmont, has an interesting
article in the latest number of the
Colt Lake Mining Review on the use
Of candles underground. His obser-
vations follow:
eff you can put good light and
fresh air into the underground work
inos of the mines you will see the
workers become efficient, more salts
fed with their work, and you will
have less sickness and fewer acci-
dents. Few mine managers realize
the close relation of good light to
safety.
Candles have one virtue: the
fame will warn a miner when the
air becomes foul, if the miner knows
enough to heed the warning. Can
dies have another use, namely, most
miners like to spit their fuse, when
blasting, with candle flames, but the
electric delay fuses are better, surer,
and safer, so that it appears but a
matter of education until electric
fuses will relieve the candle of its
duty in blast firing.
Considering the cost of candles,
we will take the average price of
s3.25per box of 240 candles as basis,
or over | IA cents per candle. A
miner takes from four to six candles
underground with him, at least,
sometimes more. Frequently he has
several burning at one time. Some
times he fastens three or four in q
bunch and burns them all at the
same time. Sometimes he has three
or four in his pocket that he breaks
when he sits down. Sometimes he
lays three or four down on a timber
or in the face, and forgets them when
he blasts, and they either fall behind
the timbers or are covered up in the
muck.
Besides the great waste of candles
the candle light is wholly inadequate
for any economic use. A miner
should have Is candles burning at q
time to equal one l6-candlepower
light. There never was a candle
made that yielded sufficient light to
enable miner to see his work dis
tinctly and to work efficiently. When
working in your Office or reading by
your fireside, would you be satisfied
with the light produced by one OF
two candles? q? Could you think the
miners can work any more efficiently
for you than you can work for your
self?
To figure the costs of working by
candle light, add the costs of the
candles used to the time lost on ac-
count of poor lights and lost lights.
For example, miner in a dry tun-
mel drops his candle and it goes out.
Cropping in the dark to find it, re-
three-quarters to one cent per min
