Huntington, w. We, Dec %, 1918
Mr.. j. o. Marcum, Mayor,
Ceredo, West Va.
Dear Sir:-It would seem from
information coming TO us that there
is much adverse comment towards
granting our company a lighting
franchise In Ceredo.
When this matter was taken up,
1t was by reason by some OF your
citizens who desired electric lights,
and while we never considered that
there would any profit accrue for a
long time, We were willing to make
the investment In order that such
people might be accommodated.
If it is the judgment of the ma
jority of your citizens that this
privilege should not be granted. we
would thank you 10 kindly return
our application without further
consideration by your council.
We also note a great deal of
comment with reference to the dou-
BILE tracking privilege and some
people seem to have the idea that
we are asking for some very valu.
able considerations. All we are
asking is the privilege to spend ten
or fifteen thousand dollars within
your corporate limits to enable us
to give better service, which
would inure entirely to the benefit to
the travelling public and increase the
the amount of taxes that we would
haveto paytoyour municipality with
out one cent additional revenue to
the company; but, rather than to gain
he i'll will of any of your citizens,
by reason of such request, we would
prefer that you also return this
application without further consid-
Grafton.
If at any time il is the sense of
the majority OF your people that
this would be of benefit TO your
community, it viii! be our pleasure
20 again open negotiations.
Yours truly,
w. w. MACON,
Gen'l Mgr.

Dear Sir:-I have clipping
from the Huntington Herald for,
warded from your office. which
purports to give the attitude OF the
city of Ceredo toward Your double
tracking franchise.
Ii this Is correct presentation
of the situation, nv suggestion
would he that you drop all negotia-
tons with the city, AZ the lines Of
this would preclude the posi-
oiiity of our accepting any grant
from that community.
We certainly will not reduce
fares, nor can We afford to pay adj
ditional taxes for the privilege of
this double track.
Very truly yours,
Z. l.. :. TINGLEY,

NINE SAFETY ADVANCES

According to the report for the
year 1913 of Director Holmes of
the Bureau of Mines, during the
few years since the beginning of
mine-safety Investigations there
has been a marked increase in the
general interests taken by miners,
mine owner and the general pub
lie in questions relating to mine
safety and a marked decrease in
the number of fatalities and in
juries Notwithstanding the increase
in the number of men employed
in the mines. The bureau has en-
deavored to organize and lead in
the movement for mine safety and
in addition to its Investigations
has disseminated a large amount
of information on accident proven
ton. In this work it has had the
corporation of state off cials as
well as miners and ~ine owners.
The activity of the bureau has re-
suited i" increased effort on the
part Of mine laboratories and min.
ing engineers to improve mine
practice and better equip the mines
with safety devices and rescue ap-
planes. For instance, at present
there are several thousands sets of
rescu breathing apparatus in use
besides auxiliary equipment for fire
fighting. Rescue stations have
been provided at which groups of
men have been instructed in the
use of apparatus and in mine res
cue work. This work is also con-
Quoted by private agencies and by
mine operators and by the Red
cross; but the demands on the bur
eau for such instruction have not
diminished. During the three years
in which mine rescue and first aid
work have hetn taught 3l,203 min
ers have been trained in the use
of the necessary equipment and in
methods. During 1913 over 49,
600 persons (miners) visited the
mine rescue safety cars and sta
tions maintained by the bureau
nearly $4,000 miners attended the
lectures and mere than $500 min
ers were given rescue or first aid
training.

JARBIOGE

Mr.. John J. Reed, Mining Engi-
neer Of Lovelock and Consulting
Engineer and Manager of the
Buffalo Valley Mines returned yes
terday from Jarbidge with Mr.. j..
I. Creighton. Mr.. Reed states that
this was his first visit to the camp
and that while there is a great deal
of snow in the mountains that he
was able to get a fai. ly good idea
Of the formation and surface geul-
ogy.
That while there he inspected
the workings of the Buster, Sue
cess, Flake, Pick and Shovel, Long
Hike and the Legitimate group in
which Mr.. Creighton is interested.
The workings of the above NAM
ed mines expose ore bodies said
to contain good mill values and he
was we'll impressed with the fact
that bodies of ore of sufficient
dimensions are developed to war
rant the construction of mills in the
district, as it is we'll located in re.
soect to fuel and power.
Owing to the money conditions
'of the past few years it has been
slow work developing the mines
and also the tendency of the owners
to ask such high prices for their
properties with but q small amount
of development work done upon
them.
Mr.. Reed was we'll impressed
that the formation is such that the
veins will prove renumerative al
depth, though unlikely to have
many extensive Bonanza deposits,
but very favorable for making good
producers of milling ores, making
a camp where cooperation between
the mine owner and the moderate
investor in the stocks of these mines
will produce favorable results for
both. The development work
done on the properties so fer proves
a series of parallel veins slong a
strike Of nearly north and sc nth for
distance of nearly three miles and
a mile ia width.
There are 60 men employed in
the camp at this time, Is of whom
are at work on the Elko Mining
Co.'S property and in their !. stamp
mill-wEich has been operating all
winter.
This Co.'S. main shaft has been
sunk to depth of 400 feet and the
Co. is controlled by the Potter
Palmer Estate of Chicago.
In conclusion Mr.. Reed stated
that he had no doubt but that Jar
bidge would soon be one of the best
gold camps in the state and that
further development work would
undoubtedly prove up many I'M
known veins which would probably
be as good Dr. even better than
those now being worked.
1t is a very hard trip to get into
the camp from Deeth at this time
Vt the year as they had to take a
sleigh from Pole Creek, 40 miles
north Of Deeth to Charleston and
saddle horses from there on to the
camp. IL will probably be the first
Of May before the trip can be made
from Deeth to Jarbidge by wagon

TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS
TELEPHONE SERVICE OF TO-DAY THE CREATION OF THE BELL co.

In no line OF human endeavor has the inven-
i've brain OF the scientist contributed more TO
the worlds progress than by the creation Of the
art OF telephony, of which the Bell system is the
embodiment.
Wnen the telephone was born, nothing an
aiogous to telephone service as we now know
1t existed. There was no tradition to Guide. no
experience to follow.
The system, the apparatus, the methodsLan
entire new art had to be created. The art of
electrical engineering did not exist. The Bell
- pioneers, recognizing that success depended
upon the highest engineering and technical skill
at once organized an experimental and research
department which is now directed by a staff of
over $50 engineers and scientists, including for
mer professors, post graduate students, scienti-
nc lnvestlgators-the graduates of over 20 uni
v~ersities.
From its foundation the company has contin-
uously developed the art. New improvements
In telephones, switchboards, lines, cables, have
followed one another with remarkable rapidity.
Whlle Zach successive type OF apparatus to the
superficial observer suggested similarity, each
step In the evolution marked a decided improve
ment. These changes, this evolution, has not
only been continuous, but is continuing. Sub
s~tantially all of the plant now in use, including
telephones, switchboards, cables and wires. has
been constructed, renewed or reconstructed in
the past ten years.
Particularly in switchboards have the changes
been so radical that installations costing in the
aggregate millions have frequently been discard
ed after only a few years of use.
Since 1877 there have been introduced SO types
and styles of receivers and 70 types and styles
OF transmitters. Of the IL, OOO,O 900 telephone re-
ceivers and ~transmitters owned by the Bell Com
pany january l, 1914, none were in use prior TO
1902, while the average age is less than five
years. y
Within 10 years we have expended for con-
struction and reconstruction an amount more
than equal to the present book value of our en-
tire plant.
