ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
ARE SOLD BY MILLION

The sale of household appliances
by the electric and generating COM
panies of the country dates from
only a few years back, but at the
present time their manufacture and
sale form one of the big branches of
the electric trade. Estimates made
not long ago by one of the big man
ufacturing companies show a long
list of electrical appliances which
are steadily gaining in popularity.
At the head of the list is the cleo
trio flat-iron, 100000 having been
sold, while not far behind are cleo
trio fans, there having been $780,
900 of them marketed throughout
the country. Other appliances in
common use are cleaners,
400 900; disk stoves, 235,OO0; wash
ing machines, $4,000; electric
grills, $4,000; percolators, 100000.
In all there are 6,000,O 900 of these
appliances now in use in American
homes, the balance being made up
heaters, heating pads, chatting dish
es, dish washers and many other
devices calculated to lessen house
hold labor. The demand for them,
it is said. is steadily increasing

NINE ACCIDENT VERDICT

The jury in the inquest into the
deaths of the four miners recent
ly killed in the Yellow Jacket mine
at Virginia City. brought in a
verdict that the miners came to
their deaths 'by suffocation caused
by incOmpetency by certain en-
ployes of the Jacket, Crown Point
and Belcher Mining companies"
The testimony given at the hear
ing proved that had the men in
charge of the station where the
fire originated, by the blowing out
of the fuse, thrown a few shovels-
full of earth on the flames when
they were first seen. the fire could
have been easily stopped. Appaf-
emily at the first sign of danger
the men lost their heads and al
lowed the flames to get beyond
control. The testimony given and
an inspection of the apparatus at
the mine proved that the necas-
sary precautions had been taken
ly the company. and that the
mine was properly equipped as re
required by law
