Jim CASHMAN'S ESSEX
PERFORMS NEW STUNT
New Achievement Added to the
Cars Record in High Gear
Run to Charleston Park

The Essex car added a new achieve
ment to it's notable record last even
ing by making the run from Las We
gas to Charleston Park, a raise in
altitude of over $500 feet in a dis
tance of SO miles, with the gear
shift locked and sealed in high. James
eastman, of course, made the drive
and experienced no trouble in doing
what owners of other cars claimed
to be impossible.
The test arose from discussion
among local auto enthusiasts, the
statement being made that no car
could make the entire drive from We
gas to Charleston Park camp entire
ly in high gear. Mr.. eastman heard
the statement and proved to be the
only dissenter. Jim, from his knowl-
edge of the performances of the car
gained by him in driving about the
country recently, spoke right up and
said "The Essex can do it." And
when they began to talk money, Jim
was right on deck to cover the wag-
ers.
Last evening at seven o'clock with
the gear shift locked and sealed in
high Jim made the start from in
front of the Las Vegas Hotel, with
quite a crowd of spectators present.
The run from Vegas to the foot of
the grade beyond Tule was of course
easy, but at this point it was expect
ed that the trouble would begin. the
road making a climb of 5000 feet in
a distance of 1S miles. But the Essex
paid but little attention to such a
thing as a grade and hummed mer-
rily into camp at an altitude of $500
feet without even boiling the water
in the radiator.
The achievement of the Essex ap-
pears even more remarkable when it
is known that for the entire Is miles
up the mountain the grade is not less
than per cent, and on some sharp
climbs there is an Is per cent grade.
The car is strictly a stock car-the
same one that Mr.. eastman has been
driving for several weeks-and made
the trial just as she was with no
stripping or other changes.
1t is said that the first and only
famous automobile driver mentioned
in the Bible is the ancient Elisha, OF
whom the Good Book says he Went
up unto the Lord on High" Elisha
must have had car as good as the
sex-almost-and it is a pretty
sure shot that he couldn't beat Jim
eastman as a driver. We know-we
have ridden with Jim.

YELLOW PINE MILL IS
MODEL OF EFFICIENCY
Manager Barnes Extends Cour-
tesies to Party of Las
Vegas Visitors

Mr.. E. E. Smith, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, DIR.
R. w. Martin and C. P. Squires drove
to Goodsprings in Mr. Smiths Essex
Tuesday afternoon and after taking
dinner at Hotel Fayle, spent the ev-
ening hours in visiting friends and
viewing the sights of the camp.
Through the courtesy of General
Manager Charles K Barnes of the
Yellow Pine Mining Company, the
visitors were conducted through the
big milling plant and shown the va
rious processes by which the separa-
tion of the lead from the zinc content
of the ore is made, and the big cal
ciner which receives the wet zinc
concentrates at the end and discharg-
es them at the other into the loading
bins minus about 25 per cent of their
former useless weight.
The whole plant is up to the min
ute and in the difficult process of
separating the two ores of zinc and
lead is very efficient, the loss of val
ues is reduced to minimum.
A feature of the Yellow Pine mine
which is not generally understood by
the public is the increase in silver
values which has come in the lower
levels of the mine. The property
was profitably operated for years as
zinc-lead mine, silver being an un
important incident. However, during
the last year or two the ore from the
700 and 900 levels has been running
so high in silver values that it is said
the mine could be operated profita-
BILE for silver alone, leaving out of
the reckoning the lead and zinc.
Mr. Barnes. who on July l succeed
ed Morris P. Kirk as general mana
ger, upon the resignation of the lat
ter, is not new to the Yellow Pine,
having been in charge of the mill
when the company was first attain
ing a standing as a dividend payer
Mr.. T. J. Renaux, the new mill su
perintendent, is also familiar with
the plant, having previously been en-
ployed in the mill for several years
until he resigned to look after min
ing interests of his own.
1t may also be of interest to some
to know that the Yellow Pine Mining
Company has been financial sue
cess, having paid to its stockholders
close to $3,OOO,OOO in dividends
three times the amount of it's capital
stock-in addition to the disburse
ment of millions for labor and sim-
provements. 1t is also of interest to
know that at the present time the
mine shows greater ore reserves and
gives greater promise for the future
than at any time in it's history.

SLOAN QUARRY FOREMAN
SUFFERS TERRIBLE BURNS

j. w. Rockwell, who has been
working at the plant of the Nevada
Rock and Platter Company at Sloan,
is lying at the Las Vegas Hospital
in this city in a serious condition as
the result of burns received.
1t seems he was carrying gasoline
in two buckets in the performance of
his duties, when in some manner the
fluid became ignited. Rockwell threw
the buckets from him, but was splash
ed by the burning gasoline. Before
help arrived to smother the flames
Rockwell was badly burned from the
waist down and suffered some burns
on his arms.
George Ehret, manager of the
works, heard the commotion, and
went to the scene as quickly as pos
sible. He saw that the burning gaso-
line had run over the ground to the
powder house, the door of which was
already in flames He picked up two
buckets of water" standing near and
started for the powder house to
quench the flames, but before he
reached the place the water" in the
buckets ignited. 1t was gasoline, and
Ehret himself had a narrow escape.
Ehret then got water from a bar
rel and succeeded in putting out the
flames on the door of the powder
house with the aid of others, whe
were attracted to the scene.
When it is known that in the pow
der house were stored IA tons OF
blasting powder, it it easy to appre-
ciate the fact that the situation was
fraught with great danger. Had the
fire made a little more headway ev-
thing in the immediate vicinity of
Sloan would have been destroyed and
probably many lives lost.
Mr.. Rockwell was rushed to the
Las Vegas Hospital and placed In the
care of Drs. Martin and Mildren. 1t
is believed that he will recover.

SAM ARENTz SPEAKS
IN TERMS OF WORK
Congressional Candidate Dis
dains Politics and Talks
of Accomplishment

The press of Nevada seems to be
gladly welcoming the candidacy of
Sam Arentz for Representative in
Congress. This big-handed and big
hearted American born Scotchman is
going at his task of campaigning In
typical Western fashion. He dis
dains methods of Eastern politicians.
His "cards are on the table" He is
simply pointing to his practical ac-
complishments in Nevada life and
telling the people if they want man
who has proved his understanding of
mining, irrigation and ranching, and
railroad building, he is willing to
work for them He has made his
modest "pile"-honestly, every dol
lar of it-he has a beautiful ranch
home near Simpson, Lyon County;
he has paying mines in Nevada and
Utah which he has developed him
self; and, now he offers to work for
Nevada
Many people of Nevada know, at
least by reputation, w. c. Orem,
president of the Salt Lake and Utah
railroad a keen promoter of mining
properties, with reputation for non
esty. He built the Nevada-Douglas
mine and the Copper Belt railroad.
Arentx was his chief engineer and
superintendent for number OF years.
In a recent interview, Orem said OF
Arentz: HE is a human dynamo;
he never undertook thing he d1d
not finish; he sets a pace at work
which few men can follow; and he
never took a dishonest dollar In his
life"
Arentz was afterward chief engi-
neer for the Orem interests in con-
struction of the Salt Lake & Utah
lines, until called by his country to
be a consulting engineer in the Bu-
reau of Mines during the world war.
He attained rank as captain of engi-
neers. He holds college degrees as
Mechanical Engineer and Bachelor of
Science.
Modesty seems the keynote OF the
campaign so far made by Arentz. so
far, at least, he has not talked poll
cies or politics. He speaks in terms
of work and accomplishment. He
firmly believes Nevada should be rep
resented at Washington for what she
really is, and that her interests shoulo
be guarded by practical western
man instead of by politicians OF any
sort.
OF course, it remains to be seen
how old-line politicians may accept
the candidacy of Sam Arentz. Poll
ticians. it may be said, in general
way. are men who believe there is
some sort of science in their modes
of procedure, indicating that because
a man has been "a politician" for
such or such length of time, ne is
thereby entitled to such or such or
flee. But even politicians, along with
most other people, are beginning TO
suspect that there is not the acme
of real accomplishment springing
from the old idea.
To the critical observer or analrs
in Nevada, the voice of the people
sounds clear. Good citizens are de-
manding more of hard sense and less
~ schemes. more of accomplishment,
and less of policy; more real stun"
and less-much less-of going
through the motion"

Pittsburgh Officers Plan to

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 24.ABe-
cause Of the failure OF the police
TO break up crap games for high
stakes played every Sunday on a
high, thickly wooded ridge in Penn
Township, the county officials
have engaged an aviator to fly
over the section where the pig
games are run and after locating
the players swoop down on them.
owing to the topography Of the
country near Lincoln Avenue, the
gamesters, aided by lookouts,
have been able TO Illustrate efforts
10 break up the games. LOokouts
with powerful glasses spot the
detectives q mile Off, and the crap
shooters nre mere picnickers when
the detectives reach them.
The highways in the vicinity Of
the big games are crowded every
Sunday with motor cars, whose
owners come from all sections Of
Western Pennsylvania TO play. In
yesterdays game more than $4,000
