MINE RESCUE
 GAR COMING
Real Demonstration of How Government Aid Corps Works Will Be Made Dur ing American Mining Con- gress Next Month.

Mine rescue work, somewhat simi lar to that shown at the state fair, W1ll be part of the program of the American Mining congress at it's ses- sion here next month. Acting Secre tary E. L. Walcott received word yesterday that the Colorado district mine rescue car would be here during the week the congress sits.
 On Friday, Director J. c. Roberts of the mine rescue work in Colorado will lecture on the work at the high school. All the apparatus from the pulmotors to the canary birds will be demonstrated. Why. certainly, canary birds The little songsters are just as much a part of mine fire fight
 ing outfit as the oxygen tanks or the helmets.
 They are the white rats of the mines-the little warmers of the pres ence of poisonous or inflammaple gas. Even when fire damp or choke damp are present in quantities too small to be detected by mems organs of smell. the birds sense the danger and give warning.
 The demonstration at the high school will be very complete. It will include not only the practice of pen etrating burning mines, but will also show how first aid is rendered. Doc tors, nurses. high school folk, mining men and the general public will be ln- |! terested in this lecture. Many of ihe mine people are located way off 1 from railroad, and never have seen 1 the mine rescue car or in fact any ! of the governments equipment for safeguarding the lives of the miners.
 So this will be an opportunity for 1 them to come in and see the latest attachments and to learn how things Lare done in a big mining country l Out of the coming session, Arlzona lis likely to earn mine rescue and a mine experiment station, according Ito Mir Walcott, who is looking out flor the interests of the Arlzona miners as well as those of his con- gress

Fire Prevention a Municipal Function.

An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure. No matter how efficient the fire department O. Phoenix is may become, the fire problem will be satisfactorily solved until the matter of prevention is given proper attention.

 ways .......................... 231 Structural alterations, fireproofng, etc ...... 1881 Repairs to electrical equipment .............. 475 Removal of dangerous conditions heating

 Among the most important innovations introduced In New York are the monthly inspections, which have resulted in enormous cleaning up of rub hish piles, which acknowledged to be the prin- cipal fire breeders.

He has come to Nevada to paint
some of its scenery. He has been in
duced to visit this section through
hearing of its natural beauties
through his wife, formerly Mrs. Pat
terson, who was a resient of this
city couple of years ago.
To an Appeal representative he
said: This is my first trip to Nevada
and 1 am delighted with the pros
pect of being able to put some of
the rugged and characteristic feat
ures of your Landscapes on canvas.
| have been treated to a number Of
surprises already regarding Nevada.
The views are delight, as are the
gorgeous sunsets and the clear air
and the perpetual sunshine. also
am surprised at the extent of your
agricultural resources. The people
of the east are in the habit of speak,
ing of this section as desert. 1t is
a desert along portions of the rail-
road but when off the main line one
realizes the fact that the state is
more agricultural than mineral.
shall remain here some time making
a study of the landscape features of
the country and l feel certain that
| will be able to take something
back that will attract attention in
the east
The landscapes have a character
and individuality that belongs solely
to this section"
Mr.. Groll represents twelve differ
ent museums in the United States
and England. Among these are the
National museum at Washington,
