ARTIFICIAL HANDS
WITH MOVING D|C|TS
TRIUMPH OF INGENUITY FOR THE
THE USE OF DISABLED
MECHANICS
ny Associated Press. }

MUNICH, May 81. One of the
many remarkable artificial hands in
vented during the course of the war is
one just perfected by a mechanic
named VIII, who claims to have sol
we'd the problem of creating fingers
which can be moved independently of
one another and which will grasp an
object as does the human hand.
The fingers of this artificial hand
are made of slender pieces of steel,
three to finger, connected, and at
tached by tiny hinges to the metal
constituting the palm. BY a system
of fine wires running to the elbow or
the shoulder the fingers can, it is
claimed, be crooked to any desired
degree so as to supply the power to
grasp. A twist of the arm releases
the grasp of the fingers on the OBJ
jects they hold.
Wits invention was made possible,
it is declared, by the German Museum
OF Munich, one of the worlds famous
technical institutions. VIII conceived
the idea of the hand and laid it before
the museum authorities. who then
placed at his disposai the necessary
means and assistance to perfect it..
Now that it is completed the museum
has given the details to the larger
scientific magazines of Germany, and
offers to equip free of cost anywhere
shops or laboratories ror manufactur
ing the hand on larger scale The
faith of the museum authorities in the
invention is considered by many per
sons as proof of its practicability.

There is a rumor afloat that bas-
ketball game which in spectacular
play will surpass anything ever held
here before will be played some time
in the near future. Several of the
University of Nevada team living in
the Sigma Alpha frat house on Bryan
avenue have challenged any team in
Tonopah or southern Nevada for a
post-season game. A team composed
of men from Stanford combined with
some of the local lads have accepted
the challenge and training will begin
immediately. The Sigma's will prac-
tice at the gymnasium and the other
team surnamed the All Stars will hold
out on spare nights at the Airdome,
where a new court will be marked
OFF. Both teams are endeavoring to
get up side bet of fifty dollars and
should this be done the game will GER
tainly materialize.
The local quintet are IN debt at the
present time owing ito the throw

team agreed to meet Tonopah on the
local court and then after all arrange
ments had been made and the locals
had gone to considerable expense

ANTIQUITY OF GAS
BOMBS ADMITTED
FIRST USED BY THE SPANISH IN
LATTER PART OF SEVEN
TENTH CENTURY

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May 81.
The poison gas bomb employed in
trench warfare today in Europe ap-
pears to have a history dating back
several centuries.
Attention has just been drawn here
to a discovery made during the carry
ing out of repairs to the naval defen-
ces of the port of Flushing, near the
southern frontier of Holland in 1857.
Some curious stone jars were found
in a cleft in the outer wall of the fort
ress, on the east side of the naval har-
Dor. In form they resembled gun
shells, and we're found to be filled
with asphyXiating materials. A chem
ical investigation showed that the con
tents included finely ground Spanish
pepper and pepper seeds, gunpowder,
fine pitch and anthony, these ingre-
dents give rise, in state of combus-
ton, to an asphyxiating gas.
NhoiCpNtl, oH luNcStlSdtlIS twenty
five of such jars, though untitled. were
actually found still stored in an old
lumber room of the Dutch arsenal at
We're. They must then have been
centuries old. The jars agree in form
with those described in works on pyro-
technics of 1914 and 1851.
When the enemy in those days
stormed the ramparts of fortress he
was pelted with these unpleasant mis-
siles, which were used also in close
quarter fighting at sea. According
to work dated 1879, they were re-
placed towards the end of the 18th cen
fury by pots, containing such ingre-
dents at pitch, resin, saltpeter brim-
stone, colophony, coal, horse-hoof fill
ings and poisons of various kinds.

CAPITALISTS CONE
To CAMP
CONTINUED from Page II

West End is going after the ore in
the litigation winze as though conf
dent of an opinion by the supreme
court in its favor, but at the same
time Jim Butler is doing development
work and extracting ore as though of
similar mind.
Tonopah Mining company of Neva-
da has always had something up its
sleeve, exclusive of its outside inter
ests. Now 1t is in che Sandgrass,
where the Murray VEN has entered
in width and value, both eminently
satisfactory.
West Tonopah has concluded the
installation of its heavy equipment and
is ready to run laierals.
Cash Boy is awaiting the deepening
of the Victor shaft, so that its water
level may be lowered.
Gypsy Queen is sending its shaft
down with three shifts. 1t started
from the 1850 with the 1900 in per-
spective and that point IS rapidly
neared. The water is being held with
ease.
Montana has not yet determined up
on resuming work in mine and mill
on company account, but the tributers
are proving up new VEINS.
Having reached the 1900 point in
the Tonopah Bonanza, Manager Ma
gee has decided that it would be bet
ter to run down to the 100 or per-
haps to the 1900 foot point before
sending out aterals. He has the
water conquered in the Great West
ern, where stringers of commercial
grade were encountered, just before
the water fissure was cut.
Monarch Pittsburg is looking bet
ter than it has for a rong time.
The After All Mines company has
been incorporated to take over the
Umatilla holding of SO acres and a
similar surface of the Montana. It
will be developed on the 1910 level by
means of a crosscut from the Victor.
Rescue-Eula has ore in SIX openings
and is constantly developing and
producing. Superintendent Sherwin
is still in charge of this property. His
successor will be named at the annual
meeting of the shareholders.
The new equipment of the Tonopah
Extension Mining company's mill is
working as comfortably as an old shoe
and the tonnage has been increased
from 1900 tons a week to 800 tons
daily.
Ore, extraction and development
work are in progress on three levels
of the North Star. The management
plans to soon install diamond drill
to prospect the formation at greater
depth. One interesting feature of the
North Star ore is that it carries the
/ highest proportionate gold content oil
any ore in the district.
The MacNamara is now being devel
oped at two new points of attack.
All in all, the district bids fair to
largely augment its production this
year, considerably exceeding its pro.
duction of $13,30O000 during the year
1915. The tonnage will be larger and
the difference in the price of silver
will swell the grano total. Develop
ment in the tributary districts con-
tinues to be very encouraging. The
