The Dumdun1 Bullet

Since the present European war began much has been
written about the use of dumdum bullets and the terrible
wounds they make have been described; but the fact is over
looked that the modern small caliber, high-velocity bullet
will, under conditions that are not fully understood, pro-
duce wounds that even an experienced surgeon might
easily mistake for the work of a dumdum.
Under many conditions, when the high-speed, small
|caliber bullet used in modern rifles strikes a man, it makes
an exceedingly small puncture and passes through both
bone and tissue alike, with terrible injury. Although the
man is incapacitated for the time being, he suffers no per
manent injury. This is what was aimed at when the small
calber rifle was adopted. Unfortunately, the bullet does
not always act this way, for the so-called "Spitz' bullet,
which has been introduced in Germany and adopted by sew.
eral other countries, behaves in 4 most uncertain manner.
Being quite short and conical and with a gradual taper, the
center of gravity is thrown back near the base. Conse-
quently, it is very likely to be disturbed in its flight, when
it turns sideways. Instead of making the small, clean-cut
perforation expected, it tears its way through the tissues,
making a terribly lacerated wound very similar to that
which would be produced by a dumdum.
Another kind of wound which is not infrequent is the
one that appears to have been made by an explosive bullet,
but is only another effect of the high velocity bullet, which
is we'll known, but probably not thoroughly understood.
One explanation is that by its tremendously rapid transla-
ton both through the gun barrel and the air, the bullet is
set in vibration, and the effects it will have upon the tissue
of the human living body will be relative to the capabihty
or incapacitv of the tissues to take up and transmit the Vi
bration or wave motion. This can be better understood
from an experiment made in studying the subject. A to-
mato can was filled with water and the bullet fired through
it. The entrance hole was small and almost as II cut out
bv a punch, and the edges but slightly inverted, while the
exit hole was an inch and one-half across and very irregu-
lar. Moreover, the front end was badly bulged out, the
rear end torn nearly loose, and the sides partially col
lapsed. The indications were that the pressure or force
acted after the bullet had passed through the can and as a
vibration or wave would act.
Many wounds of the character above noted have been
observed in the past, and 1t IS evident that the apparently
small and humanitarian bullet, now almost universally
but has been the cause OF decided but unmerited suspicion
in several quarters.

Financing Mining Properties

\ mining engineer who spends nearly all his time III
the valuation OF mining properties for large financial inter
ests recently expressed the belief that the chief reason why
the business of financing mining properties is SO dull is be
cause in nearly every instance mining properties are sub
mitted to possible investors under circumstances and on
terms which would not merit a moments consideration
with any other form OF investment says Mining and Scien-
tnic Press. In selling real estate. for example, no one
would expect to gain even a hearing from investors unless
he were able to produce a valid and properly guaranteed
erty, a map showing its exact situation, and a set OF verifl-
value. The title to mines offered for sale is all too fire.
rarely available, and any exact records of width stopped.
been mined are as rare as snowballs in midsummer.
Then comes to mind the case of a good sized mine
which had been paying dividends for some time, but which
oosed that the recent workings should be mapped it was
found necessary to survey the whole mine, since the prec.l
ing surveyor had 'nade a very attractive map of the work
ings, cut had not established anywhere, in o. ahon, the
mine, any permanent marks to which the survey could be
referred. Needless to say, there were no records OF the
tonnage stopped in past years or its assay value. and devel-
opment work in that district was frequently guided by the
recollections Of miners who recalled that in abandoned
workings good punches OF ore appeared to pitch in this di-
rection or that. The record in the books of such a COM
PAW showing the operating expenses and the net proht
could not be relied on as an indication of the probable value
of the mine, since a period of good profits might indicate
the mining of rich ore and the expenditure of large sums in
deve1onment work, or the mining of low-grade ore without
doing development work.

NEVADA is PRODUCING
ONE-FOURTH OF SILVER

In a note to the Gazette, E. w.
King. president of the Nevada New
Mines company of Rawhide. draws
attention to the fact hat Nevada
produced in 1913 nearly one-fourth
of all the silver output of the Unit
ed States and Alaska.
I'm looking over the Oct. "a is
sue of the Mining and Engineering
World" said Mr.. King, 81 find on
page 754 a table of the production
of gold and silver in the United
States, including Alaska, for the
year 1918. The production of the
four highest states is as follows:
Colorado = Gold, $1S,109,7OO:
silver, $5.393,S $40; total, $23,5O3,-
$50.
Nevada = Gold, $11,977,4OO;
silver, $~9,394,44O; total $21.371,-
$40.
California = Gold, $2O,241,3OO:
silver, %$S52,9OO; total, $21,O94,2OO.
alaska = Gold, 1901 800;
silver, $220.02O; total, $15,421,320.
This would make Nevada the
largest silver producer by over four
million dollars and fourth in the
production of gold and second in
the production of both gold and sill
yer.
"The total production of gold and
silver in the United States, includ-
ing Alaska, in 1913, was $12S,SS2.-
400, and one-sixth of this amount
was produced by Nevada. Out of a
total production of $780, 500 ounc-
es of silver, Nevada produced 49,
657,400 ounces or almost one
fourth of the total amount."-Reno

Extending Foreign Trade

Since the breaking out Of the war in Europe there have
been many suggestions in relation to Americas opportu-
nifty for extending its foreign trade. Answering an in
quiry along this line Daniel Guggenheim, president of the
American Smelling and Refining company, recently made
the following statement:
My suggestion, therefore, is that when the trade com
mission which is to have supervision of corporations is APP
pointed, it should be allowed a reasonable sum each year
SO that it can maintain a special department for the pur-
pose of Investigating and making recommendations how
best the export business to foreign countries can be secur-
ed. The commission will have 1T its disposal all necessary
information gathered by Our consuls who can keep the
commission informed where business can be had, and all
details as to the various classes of merchandise wanted,
prices, quantities and other information of Importance.
The commission could make recommendation to congress,
after careful study, as to what is necessary in the way of
transportation. Congress, if it sees fit, can and probably
would do the needful in that direction. 1t would be nee
IeSsary to provide proper financial arrangements. The
comm ssion could consult with the federal reserve board.
which would be able to make recommendations to the COM
mission, or to congress direct, as to what is necessary, and
in this way financial difficulties could be overcome. In
fact, all details could be obtained and worked out through
the agents of the United States and distributed at a cen
trail bureau, or through a chamber of commerce to the mer-
chants throughout the country.
The central idea of my suggestion is that the trade
commission should do for business much the same as the
agricultural department has been and is doing for the farm
es of the country. 1t is evident, as conditions are at pres
ent, that the smaller merchant cannot develop the OppOr-
tunity of charging our export trade which now is before
us. Certainly the present generation would get no benefits
|therefrom. The commission should be impressed with the
importance or nj faCt tnat II Is not 20 De 4 DOQN appointed
by congress for the purpose Of curtaiing business, but
quite to the contrary, for the purpose OF developing bust
ness and getting greater opportunities for all.

1t is not uncommon in cities situated in gold mining
sections of the country for workmen to encounter gold
while digging post holes, eNcavating for cellars, etc.
A rather unusual find of rich ore is reported having been
made in the city of Helena, Mont While digging a trench
for a pipe line in front of the Jockey building on F Ter
avenue. so the report states. the workmen uncovered a
large piece Of rock rich in gold, silver and copper ore. No
effort was made to explore in order to find the vein from
which the piece of rock came.
