more fervent devotion, than ever before.

BULLION SMElTER
STARTS GOING UP

Captain VIM. Patterson, John ID.
McFarlane and F. C. Buick, the latter
the engineer in charge. will leave to.
morrow morning for Bullion to start
preliminary work upon the cOnstruC-
tiion OF the smelter at that camp.
Two or three men will be put to work
at once and as quickly as the work
shapes up the force will be increased
to about fifteen. 1t is with great pleas.
ure that the Independent welcomes
the coming OF the smclter TO Bullion.
Captain Patterson and Mr.. McFarlane,
with their associates have surmOunt-
ed almost innumerable difficulties in
getting the plant here and they, as
well as the whole county, may feel
justly proud of their achievement.
The machinery is purchased and
ready for installing. The best part OF
the whole matter Is that not one cent
of Indebtedness will lie against the
new plant when il is completed. Every
wheel in il is entirely paid for. Toe
often have plants been constructed
upon extended credit only to fall il
the end because of the enormous pay
mcnts of interest upon borrowed capi
tai, but Captain Patterson has guard
ed against this. The Captain say
that there is enough ore in Bullion {,

that thcr is positively no chance 70
the smelter to be anything but a gi
gantic success. Elko should appreCi
ate the building of this plant Othe
towns have hidden for it, and have
even offered TO finance the building o
roads, etc. but the men behind tn,

GERMANY SPEclALIzES IN

PARIS, Feb. 5.-To meet the allied
aviation program for 1918. which is
10 be vastly strengthened by Ameri-
can machines and pilots. Germany has

dard types, one OF which is distinctly
different from anything they have
used before.

Is lightly armored TO protect the pilot.
4 very powerful fixed motor operates
the FOkker triplane, but French and
British experts who have examined a
model Of the machine which was shot
down almost intact inside the British
lines recently, believe that il is too
heavy for its short wing spread and
will fail 10 live up to German cxpec-
tations. The extra buoyanCy OF the
third plane permits the armoring. and
also gives a certain stability TO the
machine which biplancs do not poss.
ess.
The Albatross type D-3 model, the
former fighting machine used by the
enemy. has been refined in certain
parts to insure speed OF more than
100 miles an hour at 10000 feet clc-
vation. This is considerably below
the best speed attainedby yeithcr the
S. T.. a. d. or the Sopwith Camel. The
Albatross climbs to $4,000 feet in
twenty.four minutes.
