cents a gallon.

MT. Henderson found that kerosene increased the motors efficiency. This he discovered was due to the fact that the new fuel has a higher heat unit than gasoline. The explosive power, however, is not greater. It took less kerosene vapor than gasoline in the cylinders. No carbon devel- oped in the motor. but on the con- trary, the new fuel prevented the forming of carbon deposits.
 MT. Henderson Interestingly com mented upon the cheapness of motor ing with the new fuel He said:
 Edward Payson Weston is said to have worn out fully 20 pairs of shoes in his coast-to-coast trip five years ago. That was not less than $100 ex- pense. So at s6.5O a passenger. for fuel. it is cheaper to drive an auto mobile to the coast than it is to walk or travel on a railroad. In one spot we drove 25 miles on second gear owing to road conditions. That meant the motor was revolving about three times as fast as on high gear, yet at this tremendous speed, the ker- osene was turned into vapor just as effectively as at slower speed. The problem of vaporizing kerosene is the thing that barred it as a fuel prev ious to our success. In the higher attitudes, where the average motor car loses ? per cent. of it's power for ev- cry 1000 feet upward it travels, our 1 cars showed no loss of power what ever. At 12,OO0 feet the average car loses -25 per cent. of its power. We have driven in high attitudes before and have measured power-1oss accu- rate1y, but we were surprised to find no such occurrence on this occasion y
 The trip encountered every possible l condition-naud, sand, mountains, 1 rocky passes, high attitudes, dry des- | oI,4 1fT nd Ia nf

 ed to develop the least untoward con- 1 duct.

 around the globe by writing their ex- | periences.
 They had finished the first 300 mile
 lap of the journey, from Indianapolis 1 to New York, and were jubilant over 1 the prospects for the remaining 26,- 1 900 miles they will traverse before en- 1 tering Indianapolis from the west
 Leaving Liverpool they will gc 1 through Scotland, England, France Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, China, Japan, and sail from there tc San Francisco. Then they will re-
 turn to Indianapolis along the route
 of the proposed $1O,0oO,00o coast-to-
 coast highway. It is expected that
 they will have covered, when they
 reach Indianapolis, approximately 27,- 1 900 miles, about 5000 miles of which ] will be water travel.
 An intensely interesting phase o1
 the trip to motorists, in view of the 1 present high cost of gasoline, is the 1 fact that the globe-notorists will dc | away with the use of that fuel. IT l France, England and other countries the price of gasoline is as high as 6( cents g. gallon. In America it range. from 20 cents to 40 cents a gallon Kerosene, the fuel they will use, ran

On Again, Off Again

Monday evening the town was
dashed into darkness when the pow
er of the Truckee River Elect ,ic
company failed, occasioned by ice
trouble at the company's plant on
the Truckee river. There was a
rush for candles and the business
houses and residences utilized the
tallow stick to a certain degree of
satisfaction.
While the town was in darkness
the farmes that secure their lights
from the Douglas Power company,
whose power plant is on the Carson
river, had continuous service, in
fact their lights seemed to shine
forth just little brighter than they
ever had before.

Buckskin Back on The Map.

Reports brought in from the re-
vived mining camp of Buckskin
which is located on the line between
this and Lyon county, are to the
effect that the future of the camp
never looked as bright as at this
time. The Kennedy copper prop
is making daily shipments to the
Mason Valley smelter while a dozen
or more smaller properties are be-
ing worked by their owners and the
ore shipped to the smelter. By the
smelter accepting small lots OF ore
it is enabling the prospector to de-
velop his property, inasmuch as the
returns from his ore gives him a
revenue and his property is thus
self sustaining. The properties in
Buckskin carry good values in cop
per and as development work pro-
ceeds the values increase. One
property that wasnot deemed worth
jumping a year ago brought its
owners a $1,000 last week and they
turned it down. This shows the
change that the past few months
has brought.
I 1t is also reported that the Copper
Belt railroad is figuring on running
/ its road into the district and in this
event the camp will have shipping
facilities that will aid wonderfully
/ in the advancement of that district.

DRAINAGE Water
Mdy Be Uti-
liZ6d

The Dangberg Land & Livestock
company is figuring on plan,
which is successful, will furnish a
supply of water for those who are
farming in the Haybourn tract,
aside from that already obtained
from the river.
During the irrigation season a
large amount of drainage water
finds it way from the East ranch TO
the lower ground of the old river
channel east of Minden. For years
this water has been allowed to seep
away being many feet below t1e
surface of arabic land. The present
plan for utilizing this waste is the
installation of an electric pump to
elevate the water from the channel
and send it on its way to the Hay
bourn tract there to do its share in
reclaiming aridlland.
An engineer is figuring on the
feasibility of the plan and what
action that may be taken depends
upon his report.

BANKS IN
fine SHAPE
0lerpralts Cut Down and Solvent
Notes in Their Stead, Says.
Bank Examiner.

In his report for 1912, submitted
to Governor Oddie, State Bank Ex-
aminer Howell gives interesting
data. He examined into the condit-
ion of each an / every bank in the
state, considering separately every
item of loan, overdraft, expense,
real estate, bond, security, etc.
The examiner says in his report:
"All banks are found to be inn
proving their condition right along,
and all are mindful of the law and
doing their best to live up to it, and
excess loans have been cut down in
many instances.
THE bane of banking, overdrafts
has in some banks been eliminated
entirely. while other banks ere
coming into line and are using every
endeavor to have their overdrafts
paid or taken up with solvent notes
and are allowing no new oyerdrafts.
In January prior to the passage
of the present banking law, the
sta.e hanks were carrying over
drafts amounting of 1886, ,21S.15,
which have been cut down to S59,
46727."
Mr.. Howell reports that during
the year the Bank of Wells, in Elko
county was organized with capt.
alzation of $4,000. duty paid in
cash. He also notes that the Bull
frog Bank & Trust company, which
suspended in 1909, has remunerated
its creditors to the amount of 534
per cent, while Receiver Tallman
expects to pay dividends to deposit
ofs amounting TO 5 per cent. There
were no bank failures duling 1912.
As an addenda To the report appears
detailed statement of the financial
condition of each of the 2l state
banks.

CORPSE FOUND
IN CABIN
Coroner krummes Leaves For
Old Jew Ranch to Get
Body.

Wednesday c. M. Krummes, cor
orner of this county, received noti-
fication from the Yerington authori-
ties to the effect that parties had
found dead man in a deserted
cabin at the old Jew ranch, which
is located in the extreme eastern
part of Douglas county midway be-
tween Dayton and Buckskin. The
telegram was very meager and gave
no details concerning the case.
Coroner Krummes and Constable
Ramsay left yesterday morning for
the Jew ranch and will bring the
corpse to Gardnerville. They will
also investigate and endeavor to
ascertain how the man came to his
depth. The ranch where he was
found has long been deserted and
the cabin has been used by prospect
ors and others as a shelter when in
that vicinity, 1t is very probable
that man, whose body was found,
had taken shelter there and perish
ed from exposure or some sudden
illness.
To reach the place calls for
round trip of 130 miles and the Hell
berg auto was pressed into service
by the officials.
