rxnosition in San Francisco on last
Thursday the one hundred per cent
team from the Concentrator OF the
Nevada Consolidated Copper company
won the grand prize. and in the blaze
Of glory to which Captain Mink and
his men are entitled. they will car
~ back to McGill with them silver
cup two feet high.
The contest was held on Septem-
ber % and %. The first day was
devoted to what was known as state
elimination contests" and the WIN
ners in those events were thereby en-
> titled to representation In the inter
national contests on the day follow
ing. The Nevada Consolidated team
by finishing first in the state con-
fest then became known as the state
of Nevada team and was so STYLED
in the International events. In all
the local men participated In seven
events and finished with a general
net average of 80 per cent. After
winning the two men event, the nom
or of first place In the one man event
resulted in "A tie. To decide this the
mon drew straws and In this pure
game of chance the local man was
unfortunate. This operated against
the boys at McGill in the general av-
eraee. so IL will be readily seen that
to score ninety-nine ont OF a possi-
ble one hundred. with luck against
them. was n great achievement. The
star team from the concentration
would have had first place in all
events had II not been for mere luck
being against them In the draw. the
local boys have never made study
of the game of drawing straws. but

beyond question that the best first
aid team in the world In to be found
ut McGill. In five OF the seven
events the team made a perfect score
of 1Oo per cent. In the two remain
9s and 95 per cent respectively were
made
Safety First is subject in which
the whole world is quite naturally
much interested. and the high stand
ard set by the Nevada Consolidated
team is one of which everybody Is
Justly proud. These boys from the
Concentrator have attracted great
attention locally. and. glorious as
their record in the International con-
test is. II does not surprise us when
We glance over their performances
In the past few years. II will be re-
membered that after winning honors
in contests held in this district the
team went to Reno about year ago !
and there captured first prize with
the perfect score of 100 per cent. |
something Heretofore unknown or
unheard OF In First Aid contests. On |
Labor day last In Ely. with one new |
man on the team composed OF six
men score of 96h per cent was |
made on very difficult problem. |
The judges in that event did not hesi-
tate to express the opinion that the |
team was destined for world wide |
honors, and IL took less than one
month for the boys to prove that the !
opinion OF the judges was correct. /,
The local management of the Neva- I,
da Consolidated Is to be congratulate
ed on the success which has attended
their great efforts in the Safety First
movement and Manager Jenkins has
Just cause to be proud of his boys.
