DISEASE ON THE DECREASE
Association for the Study and Proven
tion of Tuberculosis Has Coed
Reason to Be Proud.

While the latest report OF the bu-
reau OF census shows that in 1914
tuberculosis caused over 1O.5 per cent
OF all deaths in the registration area
of the United States. the National AS
sociation for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis points out in state
ment that the death rate from this
disease is steadily decreasing. having
declined from 2007 per 100000 popula-
tion in 1904 to 1868 in 1914. This
would indicate, the association claims.
that the antitubcrculosis movement or
ganized in the last ten years is hav-
ing marked effect on the mortality
of tuberculosis, especially since the
death rate from this disease seems to
be declining more rapidly than the
general death rate from all causes.
Commenting on this decrease in the
rate from tuberculosis, the bureau OF
the census says: "As result of
more general understanding of the
laws of health. the Importance of fresh
air etc. due in part, no doubt, to the
efforts of the various societies for the
prevention of tuberculosis. there has
been most marked and gratifying
decrease during recent years in the
mortality from this scourge of civiii-
zation. In only decadc-from 1904
to 1914-the death rate from tubercu-
losis in all its forms fell from 20O.7
to 146.s per 100000, the decline being
continuous from year to year. This
is drop of more than 25 per cent"

LAMB ENTRUSES
ON WHITE CAPS
PROPERTY is IN GOOD SHAPE
WITH RICH ORE Elk
POSED

THE showing in the raise from
the 21O to the 31O-foot level in the
White Caps mine at Manhattan has
never been beaten even in Tono-
pah," said Walter Lamb Of the
southern silver camp, who was in
Reno last week. 1.-THE White Caps
is a wonderful mine. | have just
returned from there and I went
through all the workings. The
raise | referred to is 1877 feet long,
following the dip of the vein. 1t
is six feet wide and mine assays
shows an average of $35 a ton from
the bottom to the top.
There are three oreshoots east
Of the shaft and two west of the
shaft, all making along the same
ore channel, which has been thrown
over by a fault. The ore makes in
the lime along a lime-shale contact
and in places it widens out to 80
Or 40 feet. West of the shaft, where
the two levels are connected by the
raise | have referred to, the vein
or OreshOot is IA feet wide on the
210-foot level. and II feet wide on
the 80.
There is no telling how many
Of these chimneys or chambers of ore
will be found along this contact
zone. 1t is not %infrequent in a
lime country to find huge deposits
of ore, as limestone is readily re-
placed by mineral solutions.
THE development of the White
Caps and the discovery of working
out Of a process to treat the re-
factory ore, is due to John G.. Kir-
chen of the Tonopah Extension. l
believe he will make a million dol
lars out of his interests in the mine,
and | certainly hope he does. He
is the type of mining man I like to
see go into camp.
Just as fast as possible equip
ment is being assembled for the
further development of the mine and
as soon as the new compressor is
in place and connected up, the shaft
will be sunk to the 450-foot horizon.
It is going to take a few months
to get the property developed and
the mill in shape t o treat the ore
hut the work will be we'll done, and
next year the White Caps will pay
an important part in the gold out
put of Nevada"

work of these projects is divided
up among about eight of the men,
hers of the university faculty and

projects cover eXpericents which are
continuous from year to year, some
having been in progress for six or

ACROSS
BAY IS PLANNED
PROPOSALS FOR VARIOUS TYPES
ARE SUBMITTED TO ARMY
ENGINEERS

WASHINGTON, d. e., Oct. &c
Data on the proposed San Francisco
Bay bridge, by which it is planned
t. join Oakland, the factory cen
ter, to San Francisco, the money
source of the Pacific coast, now are
in the hands of General William M.
Black, chief of the army engineers.
They were received a few days ago
rom Lieutenant Colonel Thomas
Fl. Rees, engineer of rivers and
harbors for the San Francisco dis
trict.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles T..
Potter, engineer of rivers and har-
Eors, Portland, Ore, and Major
George B. Pillsbury, engineer of
rivers and harbOrs, Los Angeles,
Calf, sat with Colonel Rees at
hearings consuming our days in
Oakland and San Francisco.
The papers on file with the war
department disclose that there were
submitted bridge plans, ranging in
cost from $4,000, 900 to $75,OOO,-
600, and tunnel lans, ranging in
costs from $14,5OO, 900 to 100000,
600.
General Black is known to have
favored a tunnel under the bay
when the hearings on the proposed
tridge were ordered. Whether the
evidence as presented at the Cali
fornia hearings has caused him to
change his mind is not disclosed at
the war department.
The principal bridge propositions
as submitted were:
BY Wilbur Watson and Harlan
Miller of the Associated Engineers
Cost. $4,000, 900; length $4,000
feet; $50 to 6OO-foot spans 115-

PRIVATE YARDS
GET CONTRACT IS
GOVERNMENT WILL NOT con-
STRUCT WARSHIPS FOR
WHICH BIDS OPENED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 81
Bids for the four new battleships
Colorado. Maryland, Washington
and West Virginia were opened yes
terday at the navy department.
While all of the tenders showed the
heavy increase in prices due to the
abnormal conditions of the ship
building industry. they were within
the departments limit of cost, and
it is virtually certain that all four
ships will be awarded to private
concerns and that the government
itself will not construct any of these
craft or of the 20 d~estroyers for
which offers also were received.
Prices for the battleships quoted
ranged from $40 ,06O,O 600 to SILL
$4,000, as against the departments
limit for hull and machinery of
$11,500, 900. 1t is believed that the
Fore River Shipbuilding company OF
Quincy, Mass. will get two of the
big ships. and the Newport News
Ship and Drydock company the 9th
er two.
There We're two other bidders
the New York Ship Building CON-
pany and William Cramp and Sons
of Philadelphia. The former may
get one ship on final examination
of the figures quoted. The Cramp
company offer to build one ship OF
the basis of cost plus 10 per cent
commission, a proposal which can
not be entertained legally on the
battleships, but would be in order
for four battle cruisers, bids for
which will be opened in December.
None of the bidders offered fig
ures for the steam-electric drive
/ system of propulsion, preferred by
the navy department. Offers in this
connection provide only for the con
struction of the ship, the govern
, ment to supply the driving machin-
cry. For this reason, quotations on
electric-driven ships were approx
mately $5OO,O 600 lower than similar
figures for all steam-drive. Indica-
tions are that the electric-drive
ships will be ordered.

BIG SHOWING ON

BOOSTERS HAVE VISION OF MIL
LIONS IN CLAIMS
NEAR NINA

One of the liveliest spots in Ne
vada is to be found at the Royal
George group, being operated by the
Olympia Mines company, about 20
miles east of Nina. The company,
composed of California and Utah
men, with Fred Siebert, of San
Francisco at the head and j. H.
Cook, A. K. Herman and J.. p. Mel
SOL of this city as the holders of the
larger Utah interests is doing big
things at the camp.
Mr.. Cook said yesterday that the
and had ready for the mill that is
now in course of construction
enough gola ore carrying at least
$40 per ton, to make conservative
the declaration that more than
81 100000 in gold was literally in
SIGHT.
The site of the mill, the first unit
OF which will be of so tons capacity
per day, has been completed, and
the builders are now employing 40

chinery and other necessary equip
ment to the site. A pipe line six
miles in length, has been construc-
TED and there will be no dearth of
water for the handling of the ores,
which are to be treated by the cy-
anide process.
Arthur Murphy, a mining man of
Sale Lake, who returned yesterday
from Nina, where he took an option
en- 10 claims of the group known as
the Royal George Extension, said
that the money would be ready in
accordance with the terms of the
contract and that he would without
delay begin the development of the
ground, which is similar in charac-
ter to that of the original George.
He added that it did a mining mans
heart good to note the activity in
the region; that many properties
were being developed with favor
able showing, and that the amount
OF prospecting was greater than at
any time for years.-Salt Yake Tri-
