PROTEST IS FILED
BY T0M0PAH MAN
VICTOR sARNDT OBJECTS TO
GRANTING OF PATENT
TO LAND

Victor Barndt of Tonopah has filed
with the commissioner of the general
land office protest against the
granting of patent on alleged fraud
ulent locations upon some $4,000 to
10000 acres at Searles lake, to the
California Trona company, which is
said to be owned by the American
Trona corporation, financed and con-
trolled. he alleges, principally by an
English corporation. the Consolidated
Goldfields of South Africa. He has
recently gone to Washington and has
appealed to Senators Newlands and
Pittman to aid him in getting a hear
ing before the commissioner of the
public land office.
Mr.. Barndt alleges that the valuable
deposits at Searles Lake actually
cover only about $4,000 acres, but
he is convinced that these lands hold
some of the most valuable deposits
of soda, borax and potash In the
United States. He holds that the
equity of the Trona company will be
fully recognized and that all present
and future investments will be rem
dered highly profitable without injury
to the public II the Trona company
shall receive the first choice OF fed
eral leases at Searles Lake, as con-
templated under the pending conser-
walton bill.

TONOPAH MAY NOT
GET MINES SCHOOL
OTHER SECTIONS OF STATE ARE
cLAMoRlNo FOR SIMILAR
ENAcTMENTs


CARSON CITY. Feb. 27.--There is
now possibility that Tonopah win
lose in the senate the bill passed
almost unanimously by the house,
providing an appropriation for estab-
fishing and conducting a school of
mines In Tonopah This Is due to
the fact that the success of the
Schmidt bill has caused number Of
similar measures TO be prepared
asking for schools at Ely, Jarbige,
Pioche and elsewhere. The multi
pliclty OF requests for appropriations,
II is believed. will initiate against
the success OF the Tonopah bill.
Winter of Elko has introduced a
county referendum bill II provides
that whenever petition is filed with
the county commissioners containing
signatures equal to 20 per cent Of

any county measure passed by the
legislature. In case the voters Of
the county sustain the measure II
can only be disturbed by another
referendum election and In case the
voters OF the county defeat the bill
the act is automatically repealed.
The bill was referred to the commit.
tee on elections.

In the olden days. Immediately pre-
ceding the discovery of Tonopah, Me-
yada was like milkless cocoanut.
II was suffering from dry rot and at
times the scrip of this county was
hardly worth the paper It was printed
on. But the find was made on the
slope of Mt. oddie and the entire
state revived. while Nye county be-
came and still is mighty prosperous.
White Pine, on the other hand,
after period Of prosperity, went into
decline and seeks to recoup its
finances by stealing from Nye one OF
It's richest farming communities, while
Clark, which has started and lost
more attempts to conquer its ledges,
looks to the Manse and Pahrump re-
gions to restore its fortunes.
The southern end OF Nye county
is in railroad and telegraphic com
munication with the county seat,
while II is but four hours ride from
Duckwater, and Sunnyslde is but 100
miles removed from Tonopah, a mere
bagatelle in this land OF magnificent
distances. while the roads from both
communities are among the best In
the state, made SO by nature.
II is understood that the bill slic-
ing on these rich areas from Nye's
territory will be fought by the Nye
county delegation, but the Bonanza
urges that the people in not only
the areas affected. but in the entire
county. send strong petitions that
this wrong might not be committed

- oAL dust and fire damp. deadliest
enemies of the coal miner, are
slowly retreating before the ad-
vance of science. The miners themselves
are mostly to blame for the accidents that
have occurred in coal mines since 1908,
when the federal government began to
investigate mine explosions. Always in
the presence of their lurking, unseen. but
dangerous enemy. the men grew care
less, forgot the precautions urged by
the inspectors. and a tremendous explo-
sion, with frightful loss of life, shocks
the entire nation.
AS proof of this, records show that
but one explosion has occurred since
1908 in mines where safety lamps were
used altogether Safety lamps are only
safety devices when properly used. II
tampered with in the presence of coal
damp an explosion follows If laid on
the ground and knocked over the flame

lows. if the dread damp be present.
While the use of permissible explo-
sives for shooting" and proper care OF
the safety lamp have reduced fire damp
and coal dust explosions to the minimum.
other precautions must be taken by the
miners. Proper ventilation is an es-
sential in the prevention of accidents.
Much has been learned by the recent
scientific Investigations into mine disas-
ters that has aided materially in the
fight on fire damp and coal dust explo-
sons.
All dry dust of bituminous coal and
Ignite, when unmixed with shale, clay or
rock dust is explosive when raised into

An explosion of coal dust may be
started by an ignition of a pocket of fire

Modern field artillery consists, for the
most part, Of 3-inch field guns and 6-inch
howitzers. The extreme ranges OF these
guns vary from $500 to $500 yards. The
projectiles weigh from fifteen to twenty
pounds. The German shrapnel contains
from 800 to 500 round lead bullets, hard
ened with antimony. which vary from to
Is cm. in diameter. and in weight from
ten to sixteen grams.
In the present war more than so per cent
of the ammunition used by field guns is in
the form of shrapnel. A 3-inch shrapnel
shell may be described as steel or brass
tube with a solid base and detachable
head in which there is time fuse. At the
base there is a charge of about three
ounces Of black powder, and in the center
of the tube is core of guncotton to assist
in the explosion. Surrounding this core
are placed lead balls, which are in turn
surrounded by the smoke-producing ma
trix. This latter serves as an index to the
gunner to locate the point of explosion
Shrapnel will kill at $500 yards. at
which distance it has velocity Of 565
feet per second. At the moment Of the
explosion an additional 800 feet per sec
ond is impaired to the lead bullets
thanks to the powder and guncotton. The
time fuse can be cut so as to cause the
projectile to explode at any given one
sixth of a second during its flight. The
number of effective fragments varies from
500 to 1900, and area Of dispersion,
from 400 by 200 yards to $50 by 75
yards.
The Germans have an 11-inch howitzer
with a range Of eight miles, which shoots
a projectile weighing 74S pounds. This
strikes with an energy Of 5000 foot-tons.
1t requires a blow Of sixty foot-pounds
to kill human.
The terrible efficacy Of modern artillery
has not been exaggerated In any degree.
Shrapnei wounds are more frequent than
rifle injuries, and are often multiple.
Thus, in ESQ wounded French soldiers.
169 were injured by artillery projectiles:
127 by fragments of shells; forty-one BY
shrapnel bullets: only ninety-nine by rifle
shot
wounds caused by artillery differ
chiefly from rifle wounds In that the
missiles are apt to be larger. and, travel
ing at . lower velocity. they carry more
