AIRCRAFT
IS NOT POPULAR

LONDON, July 25.-Althougn il
has been announced in the house of
that the British govern :
ment has giant aeroplanes under
construction, this type of aircraft
does not command the entire conf
dence of experts.
The idea of the giant flying ma
chine came from Russia where the
Russian constructor, Sikorsky, had
even before the war built a our
engine car, with two engines, each
driving a propeller to each side. This
car developed 500 horsepower and
it is said that one car flew for six
hours with 16 passengers. Sikor-
sky is also credited with having TAX
en- two dozen at once on a short
flight. A modified type of $50
horsepower is now used for war pur-
poses by the Russians.
One serious drawback to the giant
aeroplane pointed out by g. G. Grey,
a we'll known writer and expert on
aeronautical subjects, is the difficult
ty in finding a field large enough
for starting and landing. A machine
of such a size needs a long start. Bnt
even more important is the objection
of putting too many eggs in one
basket. A giant plane carries an
enormous amount of explosive, which
is ordinarily distributed among a
flock of small machines. On the
Ostend raid, nearly 40 machines took
part with the loss of only three.
More than a score were sent by the
French against Karlsruhe, of which
but two were brought down.

SCHOOL,

The University of Nevada opens
Monday, Aug. 80, and from all re-

sitt is educating the young men and
women Who will become the future
leaders in professional, industrial and
public life in Nevada and on whom
tie future development and well
fare of the state must rest. The
fact should not be lost sight of by
parents and the boys and girls Of
Nevada that the university at Reno
Is the one institution in the coun-
try which trains students to meet
the requirements of success in Ne
vada and inculcates loyalty to the
state and the states best welfare.

cognition of the thoroughness of The

one with 400 or 500 students, q

lessons and instructors and an
equipment for technical and voca-
tional instruction such as possessed
by the University of Nevada.

ELUDE SENTNElS AND
REACH FRENCH TRENCHES

DUNKIRK, July 2O.-The zone of
the armies is defined by a dead line
over which a stranger had better not
cross without all sorts of documents
proving he was born In his own
country and documents that all sorts
of officials, civil as well as military,
may examine from many different
viewpoints without finding that there
is a link missing.
DR.. Henri de Rothschild, who do
mated a splendid portable field hospi-
tai to thke army and his friend,
Pierre Wolf. the author, had a hank
ering to see something of life imme-
diately behind the front and started
out in a motor car without a permit.
They made 125 miles without obsta-
Gle, and were approaching the front,
when an astonished sentinel stopped
them and took them to headquarters
under arrest.
Your case is grave " said the Of
icer on duty, and he took them be-
fore staff officers, who asked them
how they happened to be there.
Instead of treating us as malefac-
tors, you should thank us for the sig
nal service we have rendered"
What service?"
1--WE have proven that one can,
without a permit get to the front.
In u cas- it is of no consequence
because we are honest men, but sup
posing we were spies?"
Shut up" cried the colonel.
What is your name?"
pierre Wolff"
Wolff? Hum-hum! That's a
name that doesn't sound we'll at the
front. And this gentleman is your
doctor, you say"
He is a doctor, but not mine. His
name is Henri de Rothschild."
Doctor, doctor! What folly to
set out toward the front without pa
pers! Here's a safe conduct for
Paris for you and your. companion.

MONTANA LEASE
MAKES SHIPMENT
IS MAKING GOOD, SAYS
MANAGER

A shipment of so tons of an excel
lent grade of ore was made yesterday
by Messrs. Mckay and Gerum. who
are leasing in the Montana. Two
other sets of tributers have been on
the shipping list for some time and
two more are about ready with car
load lots each, while three or -four
others are in ore. The leasing sys-
tenn is proving quite profitable TO
the Montana company and to the
men who are working "lays." The
success of the latter is Indicative
that the Montana may shortly re-
sumo work on company account. de-
pending, of course, upon the state
of the silver market.
A telegram from Mr.. Knox states
that the Commonwealth mine, an
Arizona holding of the Montana,
milled about 10000 tons of ore dur
ing July. He said that the report is
not yet out but that the indications
are for the yielding of a very neat
profit. = Tonopah Bonanza.

WRECK OCCURS ON

TEN FREIGHT CARS DERAILED
But NO PERSONS
ARE HURT

The southbound train of the Las
Vegas & Tonopah railroad that de-
parted from Goldfield Tuesday af-
ternoon at 1:45 O'Clock was wreck
ed 10 miles south of Bonnie Clare
at 4:10 o'clock. Nothing definite re-
garding the cause of the accident has
been learned. Nobody was injured
Ten freight cars were derailed but
the engine and passenger coach re-
manned on the track. News of the
accident was te%legraphed to Las
Vegas and Goldfield and relief trains
we're sent out from both towns. The
relief train from the south took the
passengers of the regular incoming
train from Las Vegas.
Another accident on the same
railroad occurred Tuesday night when
two motor speeders collided between
Bonnie Clare and Goldfield. One OF
the motors was bound for the Gene
of the wreck and the other was on
it's way from Bonnie Clare to Cold
field. The workmen on the speed
ers did not see each other until it
was too late to avert the collision.
All the workmen on the two spee,l-
ers received severe shakeups but be-
yond a slightly lacerated side, suf-
fered by one of the men, nothing
serious resulted.
