ZEPPELIN HUNTING
AN EXCITING GAME
Battles In Clouds In Dark Of
Night Full of Thousand
Uncertainties.

London, Correspondence of the AS
ISOLATED Press).-Zeppelin hunting is
not SO easy as it seems to the landgo-
ing critics, who think it gross care
lessness that any Zeppelin has been al
lowed to sail over English soil and get
away.
The first message of a raid may
come from q point III Holland or Elan
ders, or some outlying English coast
watch station. 1t gives the time of
passing, the general direction, and the
estimated height of the airship. On
receipt of this at the aerodrome, the
scout planes start out.
Usually the Zeppelin chooses a dark
night for a raid. It's machine gun
amply protect it's giant frame from air
attacks at it's height, level and below.
But the gas bags render it vulnerable
from above. To be at an advantage.
the chaser must arise to a greater
height than the invader. which is able
to attain a maximum height of about
II, 900 feet.
Unlike the gas ship, which can as
cend swiftly at will, h aeroplane has
to circle up slowly and laboriously. The
scout probably starts out in the pitch
dark with clouds to pass through. Aft
err the necessary altitude is reached,
he has to speculate, perhaps vaguely,
as to his position and then settle on
his course. If he is sailing over coun-
try occupied by the Germans, he has to
dodge the searchlights, which. are
touching up the clouds. Once caught,
the shrapnel from h anti-aircraft
guns begin to burst. The scout then
has to dive, circle. reverse and dodge
until he gets out of range and safe into
the dark again. 1t requires all the
nerve the airman possesses to keep
himself under control while the shells
burst with binding flashes and the
searchlights play on the clouds.
Safe into the dark, the hunter
watches for his first clue-a
Zeppelin signal from below in the form
OF fire flashes. This seen, he shapes
his course for it.
II the moon is due to come up at
this time. the work is simplified, for
the form of the Zeppelin may be easily
n impending attack, the enemy's
course is regular, with the long sau-
sage, like form running on a level.
me problem now is to keep clear of
the Zeppelin's ears. The Zeppelin's en-
g1nes can be slowed down so that the
louder buzz of the aeroplane may be
overheard.
IF the Zeppelin detects the noise Of
me attacker, he flashes lights that il
illuminate alt of the surrounding clouds.
once he SECS the object of his search,
his machine guns begin to play.
Ihere is a case %recounted by an avi-
ator where his pausing %aeroplane took
refuge in a cloud and then passed over
and dropped bombs along VIA he
thought was the Zeppelin's probable
course. which he based on the sound of
the enemy's machine guns. At the
same time, the Zeppelin was firing into
the cloud in the hope of getting in "a
chance shot at the pursuer. Each lost
the other in the clouds, and the British
or returned to his base without know
ing whether or not he had damaged
his enemy. The Zeppelin probably did
the same thing.

Does FOREIGN Trade Pay?

American business men and manufac.

the foreign trade record up to date.
There has been a lot of caution, but NOT
much of the aggressive initiative that has
marked the Yankee raider il the domes-

but the increased trade with China, South
America and Japan has not figured prom

the temporary necessities of our custom

rather than daring to find out. Here and
there a representative. has been sent
abroad to study conditions or the gov

of rock caved in the Pioneer mine.

ing the two men for fifty feet amid
many tons of broken rock and fly
ing timbers. Both men are said to
have had a narrow escape from
death. Mr.. Tobin's companion was

was taken to a hospital at Los An
geles, and it is not yet known here
how serious his injuries are. In a
message to a friend in Goldfield
soon after the accident, Mr.. Tobin
expressed the belief that the cave
in had exposed the extension of the
famous old bonanza ore shoot from
which "a large production of high

RAILROAD COMPLETE
TO ROCHESTER MILL
MANAGER COWAN CONFIDENT
CAMP WILL BE LARGE AND
PERMANENT

Confident that Rochester is to be
one of the big mining camps of Ne
vada and a permanent one, and say
ing that the Nevada Short Line rail-
way would be completed to the camp
within thirty days from Mcneil on
the Southern Pacific and that the
new ten-stamp mill located at lower
Rochester would be operating with
in that time, j.. F. Cowan, general
manager of the Rochester Mines
company, returned to Salt Lake City
yesterday, says the Salt Lake City
Tribune.
The stamp mill has a capacity of
100 IONS per t~wenty-four hours. With
the present tonnage that is blocked
out it will have work ahead of it
for 500 days from but one of the
leases on the Rochester mines
ground. Tentative plans are being
considered by the company for the
treatment of custom ores, but for
more than a year the plant will be
taxed to it's capacity to handle the
present tonnage.
The railroad is now completed to
the present mill site and the con-
struction work on the plant is being
rushed toward completion as rapid
ly as possible. Present indications
point to the three small camps grow
lug together. The largest ore pro-
ducers are located at the head of the
canyon, while the mill is located in
the lower end.
Since the discovery of the camp
and the leasing of blocks of ground
by the various lesses there have
been shipped to Hazen about SIS car
loads of stuff, ranging in values be-
tween $40 and $50 to the ton. Up to
Dec. 1 the output of 25,915 tons
showed a gross return of $685.
623,50, of which amount $49,4O6
was received by the companies as
royalties and the remainder went to
the ~lessees.
The Rochester Mines company was
reorganized recently. The present
directors are l.. A. Friedman, w. C.
Pitt, j. P. O'Brien, j. F. Cowan and
S. Plat.
In order to handle the ore from
the mine a tramway is to be con-
structed from a point eqquqal to the
4OO-foot level of the Codd lease for
a distance of several hundred feet
to the railroad. The ore will be
dumped directly into the ore cars
and taken to the mill. In the event
that the road is not completed IN
tilspring and the mill according to
schedule teams will haul the ore.

show a considerable increase for
gold and silver, a large decrease for
zinc and smaller decreases for cop
per and lead. The greater part of
