PUMP Is COVERED
BY FALLEN ROCK

Gazing earth in the Belcher mine
at Virginia City is believed to have
covered one of the two pumps In
use prior to the fire that broke out
on Sunday for unwatering the North
End mines, says the Reno Gazette.
The earth on the level where the
pumps are located is said to be very
soft and moi thoroughly timbered. 1t
is now feared that the expensive
equipment may have been perman-
emily lost.
But little information is available
as to the progress of the fire. 1t
had been the intention to cut a man
noie in the bulkhead across the joint
incline where the fire started and
send a man down to investigate. II
possible, but a great amount of gas
aas been escaping and it is likely
that the effort will be delayed for
somt time.

not believe the case could be reached
through the federal law but action
could be taken and extradition Sc

The biennial report of ]. P. Don
nelley, superintendent of the state
police, has been issued and reviews
the work of the department during
1918 and up to December 1,1s14.
The report contains some very inter-
esting reading for persons Interested
in criminology and the methods of
tracing criminals. The Bertillion
system and finger-print method of
Identifying criminals is gone into in
detail and the work explained fully.
The report shows that during the
time which it we the Bertillion
measurements, photographs and fin
ger prints of 1876 convicts have been
taken. Captain Donnelley recon-
mends an appropriation of not less
than $4,000 for the use of the de-
partment.
