Aim at Trial Deadly.
At the Sandy Hook trials the gun
WAS operated by an electric motor OF
one-half horse power The machine
was hurriedly constructed and many Of
the parts were far from perfect. The
ammunition used was two-ounce cast
iron balls. These were shot mile and
a half in a calculated range and direc-
tion with such accuracy that fifty OF
them were found within two-foot
radius. The gun was set up on grass
plot. no platform or mounting beng
necessary. as there Is no vibration
when the proiectile is released. Forty
seven balls were projected in one sec
ond 1t il estimated that the new gun
will throw three pound balls seven or
eight miles.
Mrs Stanton Is most enthusiastic
over the success Of the gun. "My in
terest in such destructive force sur
prises me-" she said Yesterday, and her
appearance bore out her statement.
The Jewels she wore hardly belonged
TO an armament maker. But when !

wasn't enough powder in the United
States 10 last a week in time Of war, !

laughed "Wc all believe in prepared

~ did not think the principle Of the
gun practical at first. but my wife
convinced me- Practically the same
idea was tried out in Russia recently,
but the gun or thing, rs ! call II
Was squipped with barrel which
ruined its success. Mrs. Stsnton's gun
is thoroughly practical. II has the ad-
vantage Of utilizing so per cent Of the
force generated. There is no loss from
friction when the missile is released, as
i'm the gun with a barrel. The impie-
ment is mechanical and is a 5 simple aS

will explode in water or any substance.

HERE'S WHAT TEACHERS THINK
OF LOEB TREATMENT
What the teachers of one city, far
removed from the Jake Loeb" fight
of Chicago, think about the treat
ment accorded their sisters here, is
shown by a resolution forwarded
from the High School Teachers
union of Washington, D. c., to the
Federation of Women High School
Teachers of Chicago yesterday. 1t
reads:
Whereas, The Chicago school
board has recently discharged over
so teachers who were rated as eff
cient, for no apparent reason except
their membership in a teachers
union;
Whereas, In the city of Washing
ton principals, superintendent and
school board members have uniform
ly encouraged the formation of
unions among the teachers of the
capital city;
Whereas, In the city of Washing
ton prominent citizens, leading
newspaper men and high officials
have shown no opposition to the
union movement among teachers,
but have encouraged the same;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the High School
Teachers Union of Washington, in
meeting assembled, this 10th
day of October, commends the atti-
tude of the Washington public to the
Chicago school board and condemns
the action Of the Chicago school
board in dischaTging union teachers
as an unwarranted usurpatfon of au-
thOTity, thoroughly reactionary and

--------D- ----- THE OLD SILVER KING

A recent announcement that has proven of news interest was that of the resumption of work on the fam 1us old Silver King mine, work hay ing a-commenced July 7 The Silver King mine is reported to have pro duced over $id00,0e above the ,000- foot level. This was many years ago. when it was harder to mine and fur ther away from railroad transporta- ton. A railroad is now within two miles of the old Silver King mine. It was closed many years ago at the same time that the old Silver Queen was closed due to the decline in price of silver metal. and increase ol copper values in ore as depth was attained.
 Pros Wr. P. Blake, in his exten- sive report. states That the strength of the ore to the lowest level is very encouraging for the future of the mine below, and il indicates also that the upper levels may be more exten- sively opened to advantage So far there is nothing to indicate any going out Of the ore at depth
 Alexander B. Downe, A. l. M E. has stated that as soon as the Silver King is partially unwatered he ex- poets to commence shipments of about 100 tons of ore carrying al least SIC C the ton weekly and that this will be increased as development progresses.
