The motor boat belonging to Chas
Thompson and which was being run
by him, cdught fire Sunday afternoon.
when he was just above Blake's Is
land. by back fire from the engine.
The flames Immediately spread all
over the boat, which indicated that
gasoline had saturated the woodwork
probably from leaky pipe. The occu-
pants Of the boat. Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson and Mrs. Higgins. fought
the flames with their coats and the
cushions. but were unable to extin-
guish them. Finally they called for
help and a rowboat came to their as
sistance. The motor boat was left to
burn. The fire soon burned itself out.
however and later the boat was towed
to Oakland.
The damage was not very large, be-
ing mostly confined to the fittings and
the inside woodwork.

safety is being carried forward in a reasonably satisfact-
DRY manner says DIR. Holmes. "The states are already
spending in their inspection and poice-supervision on work
more than the federal government is spending in all of its
Investigations in behalf of mine safety. Thus, for example,
a single state, Pennsylvania, maintains a well organized
and efficient inspection force at "a cost of $2I3,ooo each
year.
MANY of the mine owners have begun a system of
operations in which safety is considered of first import

Report on Mine Rescue Work

The life savers of the United States bureau of mines
have, according to the statement of DR.. Joseph A. Holmes,
the director, rescued more than 100 entombed miners from
certain death. More than this, he asserts in his annual re-
port that volunteer rescuers in the employ of mining compa-
MES and trained in rescue work by the bureau have saved
many other men. AS a result of the example set by the bu-
reau, rescue and first-aid organizations have been estab-
lshed at many mines and more than 1000 sets of rescue APP
paratus have been purchased by mine owners. These sta
tions are expected to save the lives OF many men in the fn-
ture.
The bureau in the furtherance of its work now main
tains six mine rescue stations, eight mine rescue cars and
one rescue motor truck, located in the mining districts OF
the country. The cars visit the various mining camps and
train the men in rescue work and also in first aid to the in
iured. This movement has reached the point that whenever
there is a mine disaster it is now possible to obtain a suffi-
cient number of trained volunteers to take care of the res
cue in an orderly and systematic manner and without the
great loss of life so frequently found among the rescuers in
the past.
Director Holmes declares that there should be fifteen
rescue cars. instead Of eight, to take care of the needs Of the
million miners in the United States. "The work of the

Wheat exports in December aggregated ~2S,S75,2I7
bushels, or five times the quantity in December, 1913,
namely 5,z24.o27. The average export price last December
was $I25 per bushel, against % cents in December one year
earlier. Of flour the months export movement was 6S I-2

$4,oo3,223 in December, 1913.
Oats showed a larger total in December than in the en-
tire calendar wear 1913. The outward movement totaied
5.2o2 RAJ bushels in December last, against 3O70S bushels
in December, 1913 and 5,2o2,7I7 IN the year ending with

White Caps Mining company, operat-

sufficient stock is voted in favor of

The glory hole operations on the

sents a total of approximately 400
tons of rock broken and hoisted each
day. The large proportion of the

the crusher is too small to break
enough tonnage to keep the mill
steadily employed.

FRANK P|ANNA
PROBABLY DEAD
ON DESERT NEAR SILVER
PEAK

Frank Pianna, a resident of the
camp since the early days, and who
for the past few years has been en-
gagged in doing odd jobs of assess
ment work on mining claims in
many of the neighboring mining dis
tricts, has been missing for several
weeks, and is believed to have per-
ished on the desert between Goldfield
and Silver Peak as the result of an
attack of delerium tremens.
Pianna was addicted to the drink
to sober up, having been more or
less in a continual state of intOXica-
ton for several months, that he
made the trip, which has undOubted-
ly resulted in his death.
Knowing that Joe Shirley had sew
eral potash claims near the salt
marsh about fourteen miles north
west of Goldfield, Piaana approach
ed him toward the latter part of De-
cember and asked for the job of do

he wanted to get away from the
camp so as to get the booze out of
his system. 1t seemed that the only
way he could let drink alone was to
go some place where it was not OBJ
'ainable, and he was often known
to make make periodical trips mere
ly for that purpose. Shirley hired
him. provided him with grub, and
sent another miner, named Wallace.
along with him, the latter having
been hired to work on claims several
miles farther away. Before leav-
ing Pianna purchase a quantity of
whiskey, which he expected to use
in tapering off from the habit. Ar
irving at his destination Piana
pitched his camp in an abandoned
tunnel. while his companion con-
tinued on to his place of work.
Two days later Wallace returned
to Goldfeld and on the following
morning went back to Pianna's camp
! with some additional groceries. Not
finding Pianna at the tunnel Wallace
left the articles on the table and pro-
ceeded to his own camp. 1t was at
least a week later when Wallace,
returning to Goldfield, stopped to
witt Pianna and found the articles in
the same position on the table in
which he had left them. He report
ed the matter to Shirley, and the lat
ter Immediately got into cOmmuni-
cation with the surrounding camps
and sem out a searching party. Ar
irving on the scene it was ascertain
ed by the searchers that Pianna had
not eaten a thing while there, the
grub having neevr been touched,
and that he had done at least two
days work on the property. The
men in the searching party by this
time were of the belief that the un-
fortunate man had lost his mind and
was wandering over the country.
This theory was borne out by the
finding of tracks zig-zagging back
and forth across the desert.
Following the tracks. the search
ers travelled over eighty miles
within a radius of ten square miles,
finding at several points along the
trail holes in the ground where the
demented man, using his fingers,
had instinctively attempted to get
water to satisfy his thirst. A coat
and sweater soaked with blood and
