The long train of freight cars whined
and grumbled as it strove to stop. In
the doorway of a great low building a
white capped and gowned woman re-
leased a sunny smile and, turning so
her voice carried into the building,
called out, "They are ours; get ready

Just how she could tell they were
"ours" would be hard to explain, for

1t is a fact not generally known
that the largest coal pulverizing
plant in the world has recently
been installed by the Nevada Con-
solidated Copper company at the
smelter at McGill. By the installa-
ton of this new system, coal in
stead of oil is used as fuel in the
reverberatories, with the resultant
conservation on a large scale of oil
SO essential and used to so large
an extent for war purposes by the
United States government.
The method employed is the
Cole-Holbeck system of pulverizing
Goa to burn in reverberatories. The
reserving bin with a capacity of
1O,OO0tons is served by a, single
track, upon which the loaded cars
are delivered and the contents
dumped nto the eight compart-
ments comprising the main bin. AS
the temperature of the coal is a
matter of serious Importance, as
evact record is kept by thermos-
ouplers that register automatically

RAIL OFFICIALS
ON VISIT HERE
C.. h. ZABRISKIE AND "WASH"
CAHILL ARE MEMBERS
OF PARTY

A party of men, composed of Off
cials of the T. & T. railroad and
of the Pacific Coast Borax COM
pany, arrived in Goldfield yester-
day by auto from the north and
continued south last evening for
Death Valley, after a visit here
with General Agent David Aspland
of the T. & T.
The party included G. B. Zabris-
kie, first vice-president of the Tono-
pah & Tidewater railroad and gen.
eral manager of the Pacific Coast
Borax company; c. r. Dudley.
western manager for the Pacific
Coast Borax company; w. w. Ca
hill, superintendent of the Tonopah
& Tidewater railroad, and F. w.
Corkill, superintendent of the Death
Valley plant of the Pacific Coast
Borax company.
Mr.. Zabriskie had not visited
Goldfield for a number of years
but was well known here in the
early days of the camp. He now
makes his home in New York and
expressed a desire to be of any as
sistance possible to drafted men
from here who may be stationed
near New York City before sailing
for France. Mr.. Zabriskie met an
old friend in Sheriff ingalls,, whom
he knew many years ago in Can
delaria and other northern Esmer-
aida county mining camps of the
early days.

SAVINGS STAMP
DRIVE TO START
MILLERS HAS ALREADY START
ED CAMPAIGN AND RAISED
BIG SUM

The county council of defense
met last night in the court house
with the block captains and reports
were made regarding progress of
the W~ar-Savings stamp campaign.
1t developed that few captains had
started the campaign in their dis
tricts, but the next few days will
see the distribution of pledge cards

1t appears from talks at last
nights meeting and from converse
ton with captains that friction is
developing between the council and
captains. The main causes seem
to be that there is a general be-
lief among the captains that new
ones should be appointed, that when
captains express a desire to resign
their successors should be appoint
cd by the council and that the coun-

EAGLES PICNIC IS
PRONOUNCED A
SUCCESS
SERVICE FLAGS OF TWO AERIES
WE'RE DEDICATED
SUNDAY

A large part of the populations
CT Goldfield and Tonopah moved to
Alkali hot springs yesterday after
noon and evening to attend the
open-air picnic and barbecue given
by the Goldfield and Tonopah
eeries of Eagles and many visitors
were there from other camps in
the southern part of the state. The
picnic proved the biggest event of
the kind ever attempted in this
vicinity and hundreds of people
visited the springs during the day
and night.
The Eagles band of the Goldfield
and Tonopah aeries furnished music
and the large new dancing floor
and the swimming pool we're we'll
patronized. The 40 camp offered
many attractive features for the
entertainment of the crowd and
during the afternoon there were
games and races for the old and
young and a plentiful supply of
barbecued beef and mutton.
Judge j. A. Sanders of the state
supreme court delivered a speech
when the service flags of the two
aeries we're dedicated.
The cool weather of yesterday
was ideal for the picnic and resi-
dents of both towns took full adj
vantage of it, following the ex-
tremely hot weather of the past W
weeks.

NEVADA CON-. COAL PULvERIzER
Effects Big SAVING OF fuel

ed by 14-inch belt cOnveyors feed
ing upon inclined Belts that carry
it 10 the drying plant, the coal be-
ing automatically weighed in its
progress from the bins to the dry
er. Any Jumps of coal coming out
of the bins are crushed by single
roll crushers to one-half inch di-
mension.
The coal is next delivered to the
Ruggles-Cole's dryers, 55 feet by
80 inches, where the moisture is
driven off. When thoroughly dried
the coal is next sent to 36-inch Bon
not pulverizers, and crushed to
1OO-mesh size. With the conclu-
sion of this treatment, the coal has
been reduced to powder-like pro-
portions of the fineness of flour.
1t is then ready for fuel purposes
and by means of a ten-ounce blast
is transported to the reverbs in
the proportion of one pound of
coal to SO cubic feet of air. The
system is automatic throughout
and self-regulated, mixing air and
coal dust at a fixed proportion.
The coal in it's passage to the
furnaces travels in a closed circuit
and the amount delivered to the
reverbs is always in excess of the
amount used. This excess is return
&c to the coal plant and coal de-
posted from blast and again placed
in the circuit.
All moving parts of the system
are driven by electric motors by
direct-connection special reducers.
Some idea of the capacity of this
pulverizing plant may be gained
from the fact that 500 ons of coal
per day can be converted into fuel
powder, with it's consequent saving
of oil. The fuel product of the
pulverising plant is similar to arti-
ficial gas composed of pounded coal
and air.
Work on the installation of the
plant was started about a year ago,
and completed the latter part of
April. The results are proving very
satisfactory and meeting in every
way the expectations of the COM
pany.-White Pine News.

JAMES HUGHES IS
ACQUITTED OF
MURDER
JUROR REFUSES TO. SHAKE
HANDS WITH HIM FOL
LOWING VERDICT

The Hughes murder case was
argued last night and submitted
to the jury at midnight. At 2:45
this morning the jury returned a
verdict of not guilty.
When the jury rendered the YER
dict Hughes walked to Lee B.
Davenport, the juror nearest to him,
and attempted to shake his hand,
but, with an exclamation, Daven-
port waved him away. 1t evidently
had been Hughes intention to shake
the hand of each juror in turn, but
he went no farther.
The verdict of the jury reads:
I'VE, the Jury, are of the unani-
nous opinion that the defendant,
James H. Hughes. is guilty of the
crime charged in the information,
but, in the absence of sufficient
proof thereof in the evidence sub
mitted. to us in the case, we are,
under the instructions of the court,
IcluCtdutly COhlPCtACU -
verdict of not guilty and therefore
we find the defendant, James
Hughes, not guilty" The verdict
was signed by A. H. Howe, as fore
man of the jury.
Hughes was released from GUS
tody.
The local draft exemption board
met this morning and chose Hughes
to go to Camp Lewis on June 26, to
replace one of the 10 men already
selected for that date.
Following his arrest on a pre-
vious occasion, Hughes was releas-
ed on condition that he enlist, but
was rejected in San Francisco be-
cause, it was reported at the time,
he was found to be mentally de-
ficient. There is some question as
tc whether he will be retained in

CANADIANS BUY
BLUEST0NE MINE
CAPTAIN DELAMAR DISPOSES
OF FAMOUS COPPER
PROPERTY

One of the largest mining sales
that has ever been made in this
section of the west was consummat-
ed the fore part of this month,
when j.. r. DeLamar sold the con-
trolling interest in the Bluestone
Mining and Smelling company to
the Dominion Reduction company
of Canada. The new company has
taken charge of the property, and
Maurice w. Summerhayes, a we'll
known mining man of Carson is in
charge as general manager.
The Dominion Reduction COM
pany is one of the largest mining
companies in Canada, and is at
present also operating the Porcu-
pine Crown Mines, Ltd, at Tim
minis, Ont, and others at Cobalt.
Their purchase of the Bluestone
speaks volumes for the merits of
the mine.
A flotation mill of 400 tons daily
capacity is now in operation on the
property, but the management ex-
poets to crowd it to 500 tons. In
building this mill, the crushers and
filters of sufficient size for a 1000
ton daily plant were installed, and
it is expected hat another unit
will soon be added to those already
in operation.
In view of the fact that materials
have been very difficult to obtain,
this plant has been built in record
time. In order to do this consider
able efficient work had to be done.
The mill has. been running about
Is days to date, and without any
trouble or break down, such as
are usually attendant upon the
starting of a new plant. The mill
Is turning out A tons of concen-
trate every other day, which aver

a loss in the tailings of less than

which is run through the mill some
800 tons of oxide ore is being ship
ped daily to the Thompson Shelter.
A general survey of these mining
operations shows efficiency to be
ever paramount. From the time
the ore is mined until the copper
concentrate is shipped, in an oper-
alton of the least possible labor.
The ore which goes to the mill hill
and smelter is mostly handled by
gravity. The company has built
it's own railroad to the property
and has transportation facilities for
an exceedingly large output.
Before the mill was built better
than a million IONS of ore were
blocked out, with the possibilities
of more ore being developed at a
lower level, which in itself assures
considerable duration to the mine.
