SECOND ARTICLE
InAafiOm

The car owner Of today is fast
coming to the realization that the
mileage he gets from. his tires depends
upon the treatment they are given.
Mileage is built into tires at the
factory by scientific methods. The
user can get every inch of that in
built mileage out of the equipment
by the proper care and use of it.
The motorist ordinarily places so
much confidence in tire equipment,
probably because of it's rapid develop
ment and wonderful performances, that
it does not receive the inspection and
attention considered necessary for the
car. Hence the loss to the average
car owner of thirty cents ON every
dollar spent for tires, and the oppor-
tunity for these articles, which are
designed to enable every car owner,
who reads them, to save his share of
thea$105, 100000 wasted on tires each
year.
1T has been aptly said that the
pneumatic tire is of the most para
doxical construction in the entire field
of automobile engineering. 1t must
beqwery resilient yet withstand pun
ishment worthy of armor plate.
Two tender substances, rubber and
cotton fabric, must be so blended and
built up that they will resist the air
pressure within, the weight of the auto
mobile and its load without, the thrust
of,the motor, the transverse strains on
turns and the blows of thousands of
obstacles. And upon the successful
construction of the tire has depended
the. entire success Of the automobile
while the selection of the right type
and. size, correct application and pro-
per treatment of tires are all necessary
to obtain the best results, the simple
matter Of initiation is probably the most
important point in the care and use of
equipment, as its abuse is the prin-
cipal cause of tire wastage.
Proper Imitation Means More
Mileage.
The iudieious use Of air win GOA
long way toward giving the tire user
the maximum mileage. Because the
resiliency and long-wearing qualities
of a tire depend almost as much upon
proper in1ation as they do upon the
rubber and fabric.

MET ITS DESERTS

After having been defeated, following
the most acrimonious debate to mark
the preesnt session of the legislature,
the Senate bill fproviding for changes
of venue in district courts Wednes-
day awaited a motion by Fulmer of
White Pine to reconsider the vote OF
the day before. The bill was lost by
vote of 20 to 10, with Beard of
Washoe absent. Fulmer, who led the
supporters of the measure, changed
his vote before the result was an

During the debate on the floor OF

PROPERLY TABLED

The Williams gambling bill, which
would close the lid down tight on ali
forms OF games and make it unlawful
to have cards in ones possession, was
tabled i'll the Assembly by the surpris
ingly close vote of II to Is. Speaker
Luce declared that he would not order
the roll called on the motion to lay
the bill on the table, SO there was no
individual record of the various men,
bers OF the Assembly. With the ex-
ception of Washoe county, which
voted solidly to table the bill, the del
egations were most OF them divided
on the motion to table.
The bill was taken up on special or.
der late in the day. Coryell of Elko
offered an amendment to the first sec
ton OF the bill. The amendment pro
vded that the bill would not relate to
betting on horse races by the pari-
mutual system as designated in the act
of 1915. There was no discussion on
the amendment and it was defeated BY
a standing vote of IA for and l.
against.
Villains of Clark. the father OF the
bill, then sent an amendment to the
chief clerks desk, but it was never
reaed. While the page was on the
1, Il 4 l. l..
OF White Pine moved to lay the bill
on the table.
The Williams amendment would
permit social card games for drinks
or cigars when the drinks are served
individually during the progress Of
the game and at the table where th'
game is in progress. provided no 'bin

ton of personal privilege. Fulmer' S
charge came after Hardy had opposed
his motion for the Assembly to go
into committee of the whole for the
purpose of hearing William Forman
of Tonopah, who spent several days
in Carson working for the bill, speal
in its favor. Duborg of Washoe sup
ported Hardy and Fulmer's motion
was voted down.
Heidtman of Washoe finally ended
a discussion that was growing more
bitter every minute by moving the pre-
vious question. The motion carried

to further debate roll call was or.
dered by the Speaker.
Ducker of Humboldt, brother of the
district judge of that county. and
Hardy of Humboldt were the leaders
of the opposition Ducker said it was
aimed at southern Nevada Judge
and had been drawn by Tonopah at
torney to fit particular case. He
said that the Tonopah attorney and
an attorney from Washoe had been
busy lobbying for the measure for the
last several days.
Hardy at the outset of his remarks
said the bill would be "monstrosity'
if enacted, and declared that it was a

LUDWIG ORE RUNS UP
TO $4,000 TO THE
GAR LOAD

During the month of January the
ore shipped from the properties oi
the Nevada Douglas Consolidated
Copper Company averaged something
over $1,000 per car, amounting to
about 100000. Much of the ore ran
as high as II per cent metal.
The teaching plant during all this
time has been in operation, and the
output constantly increasing.
While this institution is not yet
ready to accept ores from other prop.
critics there is little doubt but that
it will when the plant reaches its ca
pacity, from $50 to 500 tons per day
With the increasing force of men
at work the output from the different
properties worked and owned by the
company is increasing.

marks Mr. Hardy spoke of the strong

YER|NGTON MOUNTAIN
GIVES PROMISE OF
A GOOD SUMMER

Joseph Wilson, Jr., the young
rancher from Nordyke, who raises
pure bred prize Berkshire pigs, is
also very much interested in mining
Sunday last young Wilson went to
Copper Mountain to inspect some
property in which he is interested
with others, and confirms the reports
of activities at the Copper Mountain
properties owned by Ed Lappat and
others.
Speaking of this property the Cold
field Tribune says:
Reports from the Copper Mountain
Mines company, recently taken over
under favorable option terms by the
Jumbo Extension Mining company,
are to the effect that the construction
of the camp has practically been COM
plet,d. The machinery is now being
installed, and it will only be matter
of few days until machine drills will
be in operation in the sinking of the
new shaft that has depth at this
writing of 80 feet.
Some delay was occasioned by not
having mine timber at hand, but the
delivery has been made and the shaft
is now being timbered to permit of
enlarged development being inaugu-
rated, Consulting engineer J. X. Tur-
ner states that the various leasers on
this old time copper property, situ-
ated in Mineral county, are maintain
'ng steady output of good grade ore,
with every prospect that the produc-
ton will be steadily increased.
Under the direction of the Jumbo
Extension company the Copper
Mountain mines give promise of de-
veloping into unusually heavy pro-
lucers. The shaft is to be lowered
With view af thoroughly exploiting
IN area of ground, the richness OF
which was long ago demonstrated.
On his trip Mr.. Wilson also visited
he Rand camp, and found the same
progressive spirit manifesto as at Cop
oer Mountain. Rand is a gold camp,
near the old town of Bovard.
