ovERHEATING MAY BE DUE
TO FAULTY IGNITION

A pamphlet just issued by the Stand
ard Oil company, entitled Engine
Overheating, Mechanical Bulletin No.
80 throws considerable light on the
problem of overheating of automobile
motors. This bulletin says, in part:
Gone of the common causes of over
heating is due to ignition. A late spark
overheats the motor; the charge is ig-
nited after the piston has started
downward on the power stroke; eonse-
quently the hot gases are not expelled
from the cylinder before the second
charge is fred. This will continue UNI
til the cylinders become so hot that pre-
ignition will take place. That IS, the
gas will ignite before the piston has
reached the correct point, resulting IN
what is known as spark knock
"By advancing the spark lever on
the quadrant, the mixture is ignited be-
fore the piston has reached top center,
so that when the piston does reach the
center and starts down, the expansion
of the gases is complete, and they are
exhausted at comparatively low tenn
perature.
"Missing of one or more cylinders
has a tendency to overhead the motor,
as the fresh gas is taken into the miss
ing cylinder and ignited by the outgo-
ing charge from the working cylinder,
which causes muffler explosions and
back pressure on the cylinders which
are working.
'The right kind of lubricating oil is
great help in keeping the motor cool
and many of the leading automobile en-,
gineers and motor experts say that oil
made from western asphalt-base crude
has less tendency to break down un
der cylinder heat than oil made from
other crudes, and is, therefore, more
efficient aid in keeping the motor
cool"

INTERESTING LECTURE ON
CONSERVATION OF THE EYE

DR.. II. Alexander Brown, the eminent
eye and ear specialist of Reno, dellv-
cred lecture last evening in the High
school auditorium. DIR. Brown is one OF
a number of lecturers sent out by the
American Medical society, to aequaint
the people with the Importance Of tre-
quent examinations of school children
for physical defects.
While the subject of the lecture was
given as Conservation of the Eye,
the discussion was along the lines OF
the necessity of examination of school
children for diseases of the eye, ear,
nose and throat, and proper care of the
teeth. DR.. Brown stated these lnspee-
tions should be made by the schools and
the conditions found reported to the
parents. At the present time twelve
states have laws providing for these
examinations, as well as the city oil
Reno.
DR.. Brown reached Winnemueea from
Reno on Southern Pacific No. yester'
day afternoon, returning ON No. TINS
morning, and durig his brief stay was
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Adam

fine PROGRAM FOR
THE CHAUTAUQUA

When Winnemucca Chautauqua folks
get out their program, ballot and vote
on what they must see, whether they
see anything else or not, they are going
to wind up by voting the straight tick
ct. 1t is program of such uniform ex-
cellence, such a surprising variety of
single number.
Here are the orators, artists, musi-
clans, dramatic players and feature at
fractions of the most pretentious Chau-
tauqua program ever presented in the
West. Look them over.
The Comus Players are a welcome in
novation to Chautauquans who love
high class drama. They will give one
of the best modern plays, and a favor
ite selection from Shakespeare. Wood
Briggs is the inimitable platform enter
tainer from Kentucky, sparkling with
a wealth of dialect and drollery from
the old South. The Riner Sisters are
femininity plus, of indescribable charm,
vivacity and versatility. They are
queens of pantomime, mimicry and i'm
personation.
The Balmer Kaffir Boy Choir is the
biggest single novelty attraction ever
featured in a Chautauqua program in
the West. They are wonderful singers
and their costumed ceremonies, antics,
and war dances will be the talk of the
town.
Alexander Won Skibinsky, the emf
nent Russian concert violinist, with
Mary Welch, contralto soloist, and
Alice Wright Baker, pianist and ac-
companist, present an instrumental and
vocal concert of unusual merit. The
international operate company, COM
prising a personnel of English opera
stars, present an opera in costume, in
addition to popular and classic selec-
tions. The Sequoia Male Quartet up
hold the best traditions of this most
popular of male voice arrangements.
The bringing of the New York City
Marine Band to Western Chautauquas
registers the high water mark in must
cal attractions.
The 1916 Chautauqua lecture course
is of unusual interest, as it includes
such men as Sylvester A. Long, presi-
dent of the International Lyeeum asso-
citation; Lou J. Beauchamp, honorary
president of the same body; DR.. Thomas
| E. Green, international oiplomatist and
president of the American Peace Con-
ference-in charge of Sir Douglas Nav
sons Antarctic Expedition evening
with the famous Mawson moving pie
lures taken in that region; and Robert
Parker Miles of the editorial staff of
the largest chain of newspapers in the
world.
June 9 to 16, inclusive, are the Chau-
tauqua dates.

ELKo MEMS PRELIMINARY
CONTINUED UNTIL JUNE /

In the justice court Wednesday morn
ing, Jacob Clark, justice of the peace
of Tuscarora township, presiding, a mo-
ton was made by Attorney G. A. Cant
well in behalf Of Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Saunders, for a continuance of the
preliminary examination of J. M. Ia
Der, III. U. Castle, and II. A. McMur-
trey until Thursday morning, June l,
at ten o'clock, says the Elko Independ-
ent. The continuance was consented to
by the defendants and their attorneys,
and the motion was granted. Judge
Curler appeared as counsel for Messrs.
Castle and McMurtrey, and Attorneys
Van Fleet & Mcnamara appeared for
Mr.. Taber.
Tt is understood that the defen aants
will fight the case at the preliminary
examination, and they believe that such
a showing will be made that they will
not be held for the grand jury.

MUZZLE PLACED ON ELKo
FREE PRESS EDITOR

The editor of the Free Press is placed
in a peculiar position. Over his EN-,
phatie protest his name was drawn and
he was notified to report TO the court
as one of the panel of jurors drawn Tor
the June term. AS prospective juror
he is denied the right to express any
opinion whatever on any case that
might come up in the district court for
trial.
When the first arrests were made IN
the Connell case he was warned to be
very careful how he handled the story,
and since that time he has merely given
his readers the facts-just the news.
He is prohibited under penalty of con
tempt of court, to express any opinion
whatsoever.
We trust this explanation will make
it plain to the public why the matter
has not appeared in our editorial col
umns.-Free Press.

FOUR PERISH IN
COMST0CK FIRE

Fire broke out in the Yellow Jacket
mine in Virginia City about 10 clock
Tuesday night, says the Appeal. From
reports secured the fire was the result
of the fuse blocks in the compressor
station in the main south drift blowing
out. Sixteen men were at work on the
lower levels at the time and all but
the four employed ON the 1600-foot
level made their escape. An alarm was
sounded and rescuing party composed
of Fred Hays, Fred Craze, Jess Midg
ley, /. Peterson, Tom Chegwidden and
Henry Foote went down the mine with
helmets and began the work of attempt
ing to rescue the men.
The miners who had escaped formed
party to prevent the spread Of the
fire. Andrew Segale, the shift boss, had
a marrow escape, being overcome by the
gases, and was taken to the surface to
be revived. The smoke and gas was
blown up the Belcher shaft, making 1T
possible to work through the Yellow
Jacket shaft. Tom Mcdonald, Felice
Casali, Enrico Segale and NJ Battagia
were the men on the 1600-foot level
who could not make their escape and
were suffocated.
At an early hour this morning the
body of Tom Mcdonald was found or
the 140Ofoot level, he having elimbe
the ladder from the 1900 level to the
400 and then died; two others wer
found together near the 1000 level ar
the other about forty feet below the
1900 level. All the bodies have been
brought to the surface. The fire at ?
0 clock was still burning, but will be
confined to a small area. The joint IN.
cline where the pumps are is safe. TIE
mine people at this writing are irving
to start the pumps on the 1600-foct
level. At O'Clock the fire is reported
under control and the damage will be
small. The loss of the four lives has
east gloom over the entire eamp. 1t
cannot be learned if the unfortunate
men had families or not.

MILLIONAIRE CLASS

Elko county has some novelties in
the way of mining, but the latest up-to-
the-minute and most unique money
making project that ever appealed to an
enthusiastic inventor, has been over
looked, says the Tonopah Bonanza. Ac-
eording to reliable advices brought to
the Bonanza it is nothing more or less
than a mountain of potash that the buy
ers claim win yield $22 per ton. The
lucky owner is Frank Hertzer, the we'll
known linotype operator formerly en-
ployed on the Bonanza, who is figuring
on buying yachts and automobiles with
his surplus income.
Hertzer has an option on the old ash
pile of Tuscarora mill in Elko county.
This forms a mountain and establishes
the unusual precedent of mine above
ground. The mass consists of what Is
estimated to be 100000 tons of ashes
derived from burning sagebrush. 1t is
well known that sagebrush is rich in
potash and the only drawback has been
to devise some way of preserving the
contents without establishing an incin-
Grating plant. At Tuscarora thirty years
ago the plant was operated by steam.
The fuel was sagebrush hauled in from
the surrounding country, which was de-
nuded for a distance of twenty or thirty
miles. The grubbing was done by Chi
nese contractors who employed several
hundred men in the field. 1t took an
awful lot of sagebrush to keep the fur
naces of the Tuscarora going and when
the mine closed down, the ashes were
stacked up to a height of between so
and 100 feet covering several acres. The
value of the deposit was not appreciat-
ed until the coming of the Nevada
Chemical company into southern Neva-
da to prospect for potash. About the
same time a story appeared to the ef-
feet that Phoebe man had devised a
system of extracting potash from sage
brush by erecting kilns and treating the
ashes.
Both stories came under the eye of
Hertzer as he had to set the type.
While his fingers played with the key
board his mind was actively engaged
in formulating a scheme to gain pos
session of the Tuscarora deposit. Hert-
ger spent the early part of his life in
the vicinity of the old mine and was fa-
miliar with the conditions. He resolved
to buy the property or at least secure
an option which he did without any SO.
rious trouble. The ashes were velvet to
the company and a reasonable price was
fixed.
It is estimated that the ash heaps
represent at least 100, 900 tons. which
carry seven per cent of potash, making
the residue of the steam plant worth
approximately $22 per ton, or total Of
SO 100000. Hertzer says the potash can
be extracted at a cost of $50 per ton,
so he is in fair way to the million
aire class. Until he gets under way in
the potash trade he will hold down his
job in the newspaper line.

w. Decker, advance man for Birth
of a Nation which will be put on the
screen at the Nixon next Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, is in town to-
day, completing arrangements for the
production.
Mr.. Decker is a veteran advance man,
having been ahead of some of the great
est shows in the country during his 80
years in the business. His last visit to
Winnemucca was several months ago,
when he was ahead of the Bird OF
Paradise" A."
Owing to its geographical position,
Winnemueea sees many of the greatest
shows on the road, and when they
reach San Francisco they invariably
have some story to tell of their expert
ences here, and Mr.. Decker tells the
following with great relish;
Owing TO Southern Pacific No. 10 be
ing several hours late On the night
"Bird of Paradise (" was here, the com
pany was late in reaching the opera
house, and the curtain did not 90 up
until after 1890 Manager Giroux al
ternated between taking tickets at the
door and "jollying" the audience from
the stage, TO keep it in good humor.
One patron made frequent trips to
nearby saloon, calling for a return
check each time. Finally, at the tenth
or twelfth trip, Manager Giroux sad
to him: "Oh, that's all right; III
know you when you come back"
"Thash hardly the idee," was the
reply. 81 got drunk waiting, and want
10 give my ticket to sober man, who
can tell me all about it in the morn
ing"
He was given a check.
