NEW RECORD
BY NAXWELLS
NEW ECONOMY MARK OF 45.6
MILES TO GALLON OF GASO-
LINE is REGISTERED BY A
MAXWELL.

Recent motor car performances in
the west have focused the attention
of the automobile public on Maxwell
cars, says Mr.. Slaughter, who handles
Maxwell cars locally. During the
month of May, stock Maxwell cars
have been put through various PAGES
along the Pacific coast and in every
instance have established records that
proclaim dependability, strength and
the all-important item of economy.
Ray Mcnamara, who has piloted
several Maxwell economy runs, and
who established record in Detroit
early in April when he drove a stock
touring car A miles on a gallon of
gasoline, broke his own record in
California, when he drove car from
Oakland to San Jose, the speedometer
showing 45.6 miles when the engine
stopped after consuming its supply
of one gallon of gasoline.
In connection with McNamara's per-
formance, a report comes from Seattle
that a Maxwell touring car made the
run from Seattle to Tacoma on
gallon of gasoline. A distance of AZ
miles was registered and the car
carried five adult passengers and two
children.

Most motorists make the mistake
Of dropping Unexpectedly into the
service station and repair shop and
insisting that their work be done
and the car released at a certain hour.
Sometimes no hardship is occasioned
by these demands, because the shop
may be slack, but more than likely
the owner will select a time when
many of his fellows have taken oc-
casion to have their work done, and
the shop is overloaded with work.

SHIFT BOSS IS KILLED AT
 ELLAMAR.
(valdez Prospector.)

VALDEZ, July 4.--Oscar Johnson, shift boss at the Ellamar mine. was killed while working in the shaft at the mine Friday night and the body was brought to town yesterday.
 Johnson was alone at the time of the accident, and the exact time and manner of his death is unknown From the incidents surrounding his death, it is surmised that something was not just right in the shaft or that Johnson so believed. The shaft is a Accompaniment one, in two of which hoists cages are operated, and the third is man shaft with ladders and frequent landing stages. Some time during the night, before midnight, Johnson had evidently taken a wrench and other tools to make some repairs at the 100-foot level. On the plat form where he was working was piece of timber, which in some way he must have showed aside in such a manner that one end projected over into the cage department, and des- cending cage struck the timber in such a manner as to bring the other end in violent contact with Johnson's head, crushing his skull. Some time later another employe of the mine saw light on the platform and went to in VeStigate He found Johnson lying on the platform, still alive, and gave the alarm The man was brought to the surface, and given medical at tention, but he died in short time.
 Johnson was 27 years of age and unmarried. His only known rela- tive is brother at Butte, Mont. The deceased was a member of the West ern Federation of Miners, and the in- terment will be held under the aus pices of that organization.
