TAKE NOTICE

Until the voters of Nevada elect
sound citizens to represent them IN
the Legislature, we can expect to
see the need for tax commissions
and the like, while the taxpayers
are obliged to pay the freight.
Some counties are represented by
good men while others are sadly
lacking in essential qualification
that would tend to create laws for
the betterment of the state. The
next Legislature could do well hy
abolishing some of the useless COM
missions and thus stop the extrava-
CANT waste of state funds. High
taxes will retard the growth of 10

NUMBER 4e
NO BlSMUTH MINED

So far as known to the United
States geological survey no bis
muth Was produced in this country
in 1912, although little ore taken
from a mine at Leadville, Colo,
in 1911, was sold in 1912. The
ore was rich in gold and carried
l5.47 per cent bismuth. A con-
siderable quantity of bismuth was
produced as by-product of smelt-
ers, and it appears entirely possible
that in time enough bismuth may
be produced from the various
smelters to supply the domestic
market. The Imports of bismuth
in 1912 amounted to lS2,S4O
pounds, valued at $3l6, ,44O.
Metallic bismuth is employ ed in
making low fusing alloys or
chinche metals, which are used in
automatic fire sprinklers, fuses for
electric wiring and solder. Some
OF the salts have smooth, unct-
uous feel and are used in face and
toilet powders and in medical pre-
parations. Bismuth is also en-
ployed To small extent in making
optical glasses.

SHOT BY A HUNTER

The Yerington Times says that

ranch of Pete Dominica, few miles
south of Yarington, came near los.
ing his life last Sunday at the hands
Of some careless hunter. Pardini
was walking along the hitch on The
ranch when from the other side of
the ditch where there is thick un-
dergtowth of willows and sweet
clover came the discharge of a
shotgun and the shot peppered Par
dini from his knees to his should
ers. He hallowed that he was shot

shooter seemed to hurry off through
the brush. Pardini came to Yer
ington Immediately and called DR..
LeaVitt who extracted about a doz-
en- No. s shot from his flesh, sumo
of them having penetrated the flesh
to depth Of one inch. More shot
was found in Pardini's clothing
and several in his shoes. Every
shot that penetrated the skin car
ried with it small particle of fab
ric from the clothing. but it is not
thought that any of the wounds
will prove serious. The discharge
of the gun was from distance,
probably, of not over % or 80
yards. II is supposed that the shoot
ing was simply piece of careless
ness on the part of some hunter as
Pardini does not know of anyone
who would deliberatly shoot at
him. However, it happened Par
dini's had . close call, for had the
shot struck him in the head it
would probably have killed him.
Whoever did the shooting has not

GOLD BY TRANSFORMATION

Again bobs up the specter of the

base metals into gold, this time

ton OF base metals may some day

achievement Of that dire result.

old alchcmist theory of the trans

The facts are that King waived
his right to be taken to the justice
court and consented to be locked

with orher matters at the time
King arrived in town. He was al
so arrested on warrant from Salt

upon Sheriff Harris and deputies

NEVADA IS GREATEST
BATTLESHIP AFLOAT

Broadly stated, the guiding prin-
ciple in the design of b b,ttleship is
TO obtain the maximum amount Of
hghting power upon a given dis
placement. Displacement. that is
to say, the total weight of the
ship and her equipment when she is
atioat, is the capital which the
architect has TO draw upon in get
ting out the plans for his ship.
Thus in the case, let US say of
the Nevada, ship of 1850 tons
displacement is devoted TO the hull,
so much to the motive power, so
much TO the armament, 50 much to
the stores and miscellaneous equip
ment. As the result of the appur-
uCnmcnt of weights to these differ
ent requirements, we have in the
Nevada ship 575 feet long. 95I
broad, protected by 1874 to lS-inch
arTor, with a sea speed of 20.
knots and carrying a battery Of ten
l4-inch guns. This represents an
allotment Of weight to the various
elements of the ship which results
in what we believe to be the most
effective battleship of her displace-
ment in the world today. Some
| other naval architect however, rea-
liZing that he had the great dis.
placement of 81, 500 tons at his dis
posal, might have decided that such
ship should carry a heavier bat.
terry and he might have designed
one of the same sizes mounting
twelve in place Of ten l4-inch guns
But in doiLg so he would have
been obliged to sacrifice some other
valuable feature in design. H,
would have found it necessary, lei
US say, to reduce the thickness ot
the armor to that of u battle-cruis
er or it would have been necessary
to reduce the amount of coal car
ried and give to the ship a less gen
erous amount of ammunition anC
stores; in short he would have beer
obliged in some one or in segera
ways to sacrifice certain feature.
which make the Nevada such a fine
all-round fighting unit.
One of the largest drafts made
upon the displacement capital OF q
warship is that for the boilers, en-
gines and fuel supply; and fUI
many years it has been realized
that if some change of motive pow.
er or some radical change in exist.
ing methods could be made involv,
ing a reduction in weights with
it might be possible, on the same
displacement, tn produce a ship of
greatly increased fighting power.
When the steam turbine made its
appearance as a practicable drive,
it was predicted that it's high effic.
iency and decreased weight would
render this possible; but that these
expectations have not been realized
is shown by the fact that the Okla.
homa, sister ship to the Nevada and
of the same displacement and arm.
or protection is being equipped with
triple-expansion, reciprocating en-.
gines. 1t was hoped that the heavy
oil engine Of the Diese type would
make possible the desired reduc.
tions in weight; but at the present
writing it is agreed among the
most experienced builders of oil
engines. that there is little hope Of
this type of drive being installed
in battleships for many years to
come.
