NEW DEVICE CUTS
CABLES OF MINES
MENACE TO VESSELS IL MADE
LESS by LATE INNEN-
TION

ROTTERDAM, July 20. - EXper-
iments with a newly invented device
intended to cut the anchor chains of
floating mines and to prevent then
from coming in contact with a yes
sci passing through a mine field,
have been conducted here, it is
claimed, with success. The contriv-
ance was invented by Rear Admiral
Goedhart of the Dutch navy.
1t was affixed to a steamship of
the Batavier line for a series OF
tests. The vessel steamed through
a field of harmless mines with the
result, it is asserted. that every mine
which barred her course automatic
ally was pushed aside and its anchor
chain cut.
The invention consists of a steei
prolongation of the ships bow,
which is easily hoisted or slowed
away. 1t extends IS feet under the
water and is designed to push the
mine anchoring chains or cabie1
aside to a distance of Is feet from
either side Of the vessel. At that
point the cables or chains are clipped
and the liberated mine rises to the
surface Is feet from the vessels side
Having once been passed safely, the
plan is to explode the floating mine
by shooting at it.
After the clipping of the chain of
one mine the apparatus is intended
automatically TO become ready TIC
deal with the next.

YELLOW Pine HAS
POSTED DIVIDEND
PROPERTY IN SOUTHERN DIS
TRICT MAKING AN EN-
VIABLE RECORD

At the meeting of the board of
directors of the Yellow Pine Mining
company held in Los Angeles Mon
day last, the regular dividend of
three per cent was declared and an
extra dividend of two per cent,
making the dividend payment for
August $4,000. The dividend is
payable to owners of stock of rec
ord Aug. 10. Following their
usual patriotic impulses, the direc>
tors advanced the date of payment
of this dividend from the 31st to
the 25th, in order that their stock
holders could have the extra money
in time to meet the insta]lment due
on their Lioerty bond subscription
on that date.
The August dividend brings the
total payments for the yea 1917
to date. up to $4,000, being 20
per cen on the capital stock.
Since July 10, 1912, the Yellow
Pine company has paid in dividends
to it's stockholders, the very COM
Portable sum of $1,9S3 ,00S.19, be-
ing an average of almost 100000
per year for the five-year period.
This wonderful record, considered
in the light of the fact thlt the
Yellow Pine mine is today in the
matter of it's ore reserves, far grea,-
er than at any previous time in its
history, explains why it is that there
is no Yellow Pine stock on the
market. Asa matter for inquiry, we
wonder why it is that orders for
the purchase of Yellow Pine stock
at a figure several cents above the
Loss Angeles stock exchange quo
tations cannot be filled? Or to put
it differently, why is it that the
quotations on this stock given out
by the exchange are considerably
lower than the bids for the stock?
The great ore body of the Vel
level, north drift, has proven of
still greater size than supposed as
the development proceeds. The
body was opened for a distance Of
100 feet, north and south, on the
strike of the vein. Work has been
prosecuted through a fault toward
the north for a further distance OF
80 feet and the orebody is found to
continue to this point, of the same
character as before, making the
known length of the ore body at
this time is 1870 feet.
The expectation was, at the time
the previous statement was made,
that the orebody would be found
continuous in the raise being made
to the 800 sub-level. This raise has
now been connected and the judg-
ment of Manager Fred A. Hale, Jr..
found to be correct, the orebody ex-
tending solidly the whole distance.

GOOD PROPERTY
NEAR VIRGINIA
MINING PROPERTY OPENED NOT
FAR FROM STATE
CAPi1AL

A trip was made yesterday by a
Representative, IF the News to the
pi property of the Nevada and Wash
ington Development company's prop
Virginia City and 10 or 12 miles
from Carson City. The estate of the
company comprises 200 acres, and an
excellent road has just been com
pleted which connects with the Lin
coin highway ION the east side of
Washoe lake.
The company is composed mainly
of people who reside in B~ellingnam.
Wash, with two Carson City men.
Il. O. Dubois as president and Oren
II. Dubois as general monager. Dur
ing the past several years active
development work has beer done CT
this property and at once place an
inclined shaft to a depth of $50 feet
has been run on the vein which, &C
cording to General Manager Dubois.
carries values to the extent of $36
per ton across four feet.
Mining engineers and biologists
nounced it one of the most interest
ing workings in the state, and that
there is no doubt. from the present
systematic development that has
been done, but that ii is a mine
which will soon take it's place among
the good ones of Nevada.
A new Accompaniment shaft has
been sunk to a depth of 100 feet and
at the present time a hoist Is being
installed for the purpose of sinking
until the main orebody is
tered, which will be about at the
200-foot level.
Many thousands of dollars have
been spent on the property. Last
year a 1O-stamp mill was installed,
and with about a months work
would be in shape to start work on
the ore on the dump at the incline
shaft, where there are approximate
ay 500 tons which will average better
than 81, but Manager Dubois states
chat the mill will probably not be
started until the ledge followed by
che incline shaft is tapped by a new
shaft and a sufficient body of ore
blocked out to guarantee a steady
: run.
A number of substantial buildings
have beel erected on the property,
including a boarding house capable OF

ASKS ANNULMEhT OF
fLOTATION PATENTS
AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS-
SAYS MONOPOLY INTER
FERES WITH WAR

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Aug. IL
To make possible the most efficient
conduct OF the war, the American
Mining Congress urges hat one of
three drastic steps be taken with re-
gard to the patents OF the Minerals
Separation North American Corpor-
alton. The suggestions made by
the Mining Congress. which are con-
tanned in the forthcoming issue of
the Mining Congress Journal, are
as follows:
1. That the Minerals Separation
company shall Immediately adop;
a liberal policy by the fixing of a
fair and justifiable charge for the
use of it's process and the reliE-
quishment of its apparent purpose
of establishing a continuous and
burdensome monopoly.
2. That the government. through
the Council of National Defense,
shall fix a reasonable charge for
the use of the process.
8. That Congress shall annul the
rights granted by the patent.
BY making the use of its flota-
ton process practically p%rohibitive,
the owning corporation is respon-
sible for a material reduction in the
output of various essential metals
necessary to the effective prosecu-
ton of the war, according to an
unqualified editorial statement from
the American Mining Congress. The
way in which the company con
ducts it's business is outlined as fol-
lows in an advance copy of the edi-
torial:
1T absolutely refuses to deal with
those companies which have been
experimenting in the development
of the many oil flotation processes
until such companies have settled
in full it's demand for alleged patent
infringments.
1T demands hat it's licensees
shall give it the full benefit of any
invention or discovery made by
them which may be an Improve
ment, modification, or addition
or may be useful in carrying out
any of the processes thereby pro-
tected" and the right to patent for
it's Owl use any invention made by
its licensees and further requires its
licensees to bind their employees
to assign or transfer to the licensOr
any invention made by such EN-
ployees."
at requires its licensees to pay a
royalty "in each and every instance
computed on the entire metal value
recovered from all ores and material
treated by the licensee, provided tiny
portion of such value has been re-
covered by flotation.'

Precedent Set BY Commission

The Nevada industrial commits
sion has rejected the claim OF Ora
Whiting, who on July IL sustained
"A fractured collar bone while in the
employ of the Reno Power, Light
and Water company. In June the
company signified its acceptance of
the new industrial insurance act,
but did not pay premiums in ad-
vance, as required, and the failure
to pay is now held as a rejection
of the act. This means that an en-
ployer must actually have his
monthly advance payments in the
hands of the commission to ecure
favorable action on accident claims
by men in his employ.

GOOD RACES ON
FOR LABOR DAY
WINGFIELD'S GREAT MARE CT
LESTE WILL BE AMONG
STARTERS

In the announcement of 40 horses
listed to take part in the two-day
Labor day horse races. are revealed
entries for what promises to be the
finest exhibition of horse flesh ever
witnessed in Reno, says the Reno
Journal.
George Wingfield's famous mare
Celeste, world record holder for a
mile and one-sixteenth and holder
of the local track record, is head
and shoulders in prominence above
everything scheduled for the meet,
but there are a great number of
horses from Canada, Tia Juana
Colorado, Wyoming and other parts
of the country that surpass any
thing ever witnessed on the Reno
track. 1t is believed Celeste will
be entered in an exhibition race.
Hundreds of people from all parts
of Nevada and from California are
expected to be attracted to Reno
for the Labor day celebration sim
ply because OF the racing card.
Eel Mahdi, belonging to George
Miller, has made a goo record on
the Reno track in former meets,
but at no time has he come to Reno
with such a splendid record as he
does now. He has o the last
nine races in which he was entered
and is in better condition than
ever before. King Dick, ~oeiolging
to Getchell and Mills, is Il hien-
class horse, as is Seneca, an English
bred animal. Fine Feathers, a
much better horse than most of
those entered in the Fourth OF July
races. has come back for the labor
meet. Fine Feathers was bread on
the Nevada stock farm.
Another carload of horses, many
of which will be entered in the
Labor day meet. is expected to ar
rive in Reno Monday.
The list of horses already quar-
tered at the Reno track, most of
which will be entered in the Labor
way IiCSt, was dlluOuICtu last HlSHt
