new ARMY MACHINE GUN
IS TERRIBLE WEAPON

A nav weapon has been provided
for the u. S. army which is far
mora efficient than any heretofore
adopted. 1t was invented and is
used by the French military au-
thoritics and alresdy nearly hun
dred have been purchased in the
United States. The new gun which
is described in the June Popular
Mechanics Magazine, weighs but
80 pounds and can he easily car
ried by soldier. Two men are
required to operate il. both Of
whom lie fiat on the ground, pre-
scnting small mark to the enemy.
One man feeds the cartridges into
the breech of the gun in clips of
25 each, while the other aims the
weapon and directs the firing mech
anicism. The gun will fire separate
shots or will operate automatically,
in which case 800 shots may be fir
ed per minute. At long range a
third soldier ascertains the range
by use of binoculars, and reports
the effect of the bullets.

RECEIVERS TON OF
STOLEN ORE

After several weeks of diligent
and clever work, Charles S. Rel.
mer. special detective of the Ne
vada Nine Owners association
early yesterday morning located in
a cabin in Tonopah the cache Of an
organized gang of high graders and
recovered about one ton of rich
ore that had been stolen from the
mines of Tonopah and Goldfield. 1t
is likely that the arrest of at least
twelve miners, mostly of Tonopah
will prove the sequel of the rtcov-
cry of the stolen ore, as Detective
Reimer has gathered a great mass
Of evidence on the operations of the
gang.
Going to the cabin of the gang
in the silver camp yesterday morn
ing, Detective Reimer found and
covered with a revolver seven Of its
mcmhcrs guarding the cache. AL
though two of them had revoivers
and the remainder were we'll armed
with knives, they were so COM
pletely taken by surprise by Dctec-
tive Reimer that they showed no
disposition to use their weapons and
Immediately obeyed his command to
throw up their hands. Sirgle-
handed, Detective Reimer searched
the pockets Of the seven miners of
the gang in he cabin. Consider
ing that the recovery cf the ore
was Of more Importance than the
immediate capture Of the seven
thieves. Detective Reimer permit
ted them to leave the cabin and
temporarily make their escape,
since he was without aid to march
them to the county Jail. The high
graders cache contained twenty
sacks of ore that is easily worth
$4,000. Much Of It is specimen
rock. After finding the ore Detec-
tive Reimer hired three automo-
biles and removed it from the cabin.

ANCIENT COINS
FOUND At BELMONT

Gerald Stimlsr, son of H. C.
Stimler, while rummaging around
in the ruins Of what onre was a
Chinese laundry in Belmont. one
day last week, found a package
containing twenty dollars. The
coins bear the date of 1876 and are
of the issue known as the trade
dollar" On one side of the coins
the description, Trade Dollar
420 grains. 800 Fine" is printed
and the opposite side the Goddess
of Liberty is shown sitting on q
bale of cotton, beside sheaf OF
wheat and holding aloof an olive
branch.
Old timers say the trade dollars
were much in use in the seventies
and the finding of the coins by
young Stimer brought back to
them many memories Of the past.
Ten dollars were taken to Los
Angeles ny mining man, and ten

by MIR. Stimler at prices ranging

One old.timer remarked that a

does these days. and he expressed

PREVENTING COMPETITION

Gilbert Ross, secretary of the
Nevada Panama Pacific directors,
is doing his level best to curry
favor with builders and contractors
of his home town by limiting ad-
vertising for construction work to
the papers Of ma. city. This mar
row pinheaded policy is strictly in
accord with the cramped conceit
Of the lieutenant governor, who
cannot sec beyond his nose in a
business proposition. In contrast
with the course Of the exposition
secretary it may he sail that the
Nevada School of Industry is sd
vertising in oItstde papers for bids
for the construction of q home ut

currying favor with some instead
of adopting a broad gauge policy
of throwing bids open to all tax
payers of the state who have help
ed pay the meal ticket of the lieu
tenant governor for these many
years-TOnopah Bonanza.

GOVERNMENT COST
INCREASING

One potent cause of the high cost
of living is to be found in the high
cost Of government among the lead
ing nations. a cost that is mounting
by leaps and bounds. Within the
past 35 years in the United States
the annual appropriations of Con-
gress for ordinary expenditures
have increased l6O per cent. Ths
British budgets have increased $50
per cent in the same period, and
expenditures now almost touch the
billion mark. If the money spent
for the support of the postoffice in
the United States is included in the
total cost of government the total
will not fall much short of the sum
spent by the British. In Germany
the increase in expenditures has
been still greater, the German bud
get for 1913 being 494 per cent
more than in 1880.

EXCURSIONS FOR
MURDERER URIE

!, In the Hotel Golden arrivals at

names ID. S. Dickerson, N. Uric.
While it was known that Dickerson
is warden of the penitentiary, it

they learned that this prisoner, for
whose conviction and Imprisonment
they spent thousands Of dollars, is
now chauffeur ior Warden DicKer-
son, taking frequent pleasure jaunts
to outside points, during which he
puts up at first class hotels.
This news following so closely
upon the parole of Preston would
seem 10 indicate that the penal
laws of Nevada are only joke and
the penitentiary playhouse. Uric
was convicted Of one of the black
est crimes ever pcrpetrated in the
state-the murder of the QuiIicis,
husband and wife at Inlay. But
for the stupidity of n bIunderiny

younger man and in measure an

pcet of ever being hanged, the
