InVents Safety Device

j. Cesarani. a miner of Butte City,
Montana, has invented a device for
safety in hosting mine cages. 1t is
the only practical thing of the kind,
weighs only $50 pounds and occupies
a space in the cage Of only sx10
inches. 1t is capable of being placed
in any position In the elevator or
hosting cage. 1t is claimed by Mr..
Cesarani that his device will solve
some serious hosting problems and
will result in the saving of many
lives. The operation of the safety
patent is two-fold. One lever re-
leases the wings which fly to the side
and stop the rush of the cage. caused

something is wrong in the shaft and

used where something has happened
in the shaft. such as a mar falling
off the cage or getting killed. and so
instant communication may be had
with the engineer.

1914 AUTO OUTPUT

When the present selling sea.o,

down in history as the greatest sell

piled by B. E. Stinson, distributor
in Minneapolis. His compilations
show that 4OO, 900 automobiles. who's
total value is $3.50. 900. 900. will have
been marketed by American bro
ducers.
This phenomenal growth as CON-
pared to 1900, when the industry
was in its infancy. a be traced d.
rectly to the necessity of the motor
car. according to Mr.. Stinson. Four
teen years ago. he says. only a few
hundred cars were built per annum
II was not until 1903 that the indus
try began to grow.
The figures produced by Mr.. Stin-
son show that by 1908 the combined
output of American manufacturers
was Sc. OOOcars.
But the most startling jump in the
production was in 1909, when 49,
900 cars, or more than double the
output of the previous year, were
manufactured. During 1912 the
number Of Ears marketed was 30O.-
900, while last season $780, 900 Ameri-
can-made automobiles were placed
into owners hands.
There are over 500 different lines

Bdqmont Mines In ElkO
County Close DOVE

The mines at Edgmont have been
closed down and all the employees
have been paid of and told that
there will be no work for them IN
the future. This property was taken
over By an English syndicate which
last Winter sent an expert to make a
careful examination of the property.
and the general opinion is that his
report was unfavorable and that the
closing Of the property Is due to or
ders of the board of control. which
is located in England. When the ex-
pert made his appearance in the
early Spring the public had hopes
that a close examination would justi-
fy the expenditure of several thous-
and dollars to complete the develop
ments that had been started. but
now that the mines are closed, there
is little hope that they viii ever be
re-opened as long as this company
has control.-Eko Free Press.

The cutting of Nevada's Panama-Pa-

a stencil that has stirred comment
from various quarters within this
State. These expressions are largely
non-partisan and are based upon

alton for Nevada's representation at

even more general is the condemna-
ton Of the methods that have fol-
