ers have received notice that the war
department is about to distribute
fifty standard size Army wagons to
the state of which quota each county
Is entitled to a certain number.
The board will consider the mat

is likely that the county will send in
a requisition for several wagons. IL
these wagons are not requisitioned
it is likely that the government will
condemn them and later destroy
them as required by regulations.

A. D. MYERS TO WORK
ELY.CALUMET MINE

AL ID. Myers, the well-known min
ing man and promoter. returned To
Ely this week after an absence OF
thirty-two months. Mr.. Myers Is in
terested In the Ely Calumet Leasing
Syndicate, OF which he is the presi-
dent and manager. and intends TO de-
vote his time and attention to the
work of this company in the future.
His people have fiye-year lease .on
the Ely Calumet property and work
has already been started on the
same. He states that operations will
be entirely different from those pre-
viously done on this property.
Mr.. Myers will leave for Salt Lake
some time during the week and on
his return will bring his wife with
him and they will make their home
in Ely, having already secured a
house.
The Calumet property has always
been looked on as favorable prop
erty by the people of Ely, but the CON-
pany has never had sufficient funds
to promulgate the work and carry on
the developments sufficiently to
demonstrate whether or not the ore
existed in commercial quantities.
This proposition is thoroughly
financed by several leading people.
including w. II. venabel. prominent
attorney in Norfolk, West Virginia;
his brother, f. w. Venabel. and j.
NJ. Hayden. Mr.. Hayden accompanied
Mr.. Myers to Ely. AS soon as Mr..
Myers returns he will at once do all
he can to push the work to the limit
and will ascertain whether or not
there is ore in this ground and II
so to what extent II exists. He has
an option on $4,000 shares of out
standing stock OF the Ely Calumet
company and is prepared to push de.
velopment work.
During Mr.. Myers absence he has
spent a great deal of time in settling
a lawsuit In California concerning the
Paniment Silver proposition located
in Inyo county. He also purchased
the old Pittsburg Consolidated COM
pany in American Fork. Utah. which
he will manage hereafter.
Mr.. Myers has great confidence In
the Ely Calumet and in a conference
with a News representative he stated
that in his own mind he feels assured
that within ninety days of activity
and rapid development this mine will
become a shipper of commercial ore
and he feels assured that he can
prove that the eastern end of the dis
trict is as good as the upper end.
Mr.. Myers states that he was in
close touch with Tex Rickard during
his stay in New York and says that
the latter is now manager of Madison
Square Garden. on which he has
taken a ten-year lease.
In discussing the political situa-
tion, Mr.. Myers said that while New
York seemed to be In favor of Cox.
the remainder of the east. including
Ohio, was all for Harding

Any House in 1920

Smithers. who weighs just about 325
pounds had at last succeeded in get
ting a house. He obtained it "as a
special favor" at an exceptionally high
rent, and it was ready furnished"
Unfortunately the house was not
built to meet such an emergency as
Smithers, for the whole place shook
with his tread as he walked about.
When he climbed into bed that piece
of furniture gave groan of dispair
and collapsed on the floor.
His son, in an adjoining room,
rushed to the door of his fathers bed
room.
Whats happened, dad?" he asked.
"Can l help you?"
Tt's all right" came the reply;
"only if you don't find me here in the
morning, look in the cellar"

Brick-a-B rack With
Healing Qualities

A new method of applying the we'll
known healing properties of radium is
reported in a German magazine says
the Scientific American. Many natural
waters have been found to be radio
active and their presence in the
springs of certain resorts has undoubt-
eddy occasioned or added to the fame
of these, but it has been discovered
that any kind of water can be made
radioactive by the action of radiamn,
consequently some one has had the
ingenious idea of simplifying this pro-
cess by making jugs and other vessels
of radioactive clay. 1t has been found
that certain clays employed in the,
manufacture of pottery readily, lend
themselves to mi ture with radio
active substances without injury to
their ceramic qualities, especially the
property of being readily nodded and
fired. The most important radio
active substances employed are the
uranium pitchblend which is found in
considerable quantities in the Joachim
stall in Bohemia, and the mineral
called Fergussonitic, as also the re-
sidues remaining free from the work
ing of uranium ores. 1..~,-
These substances are mixed with the
clay which is then nodded into the de-
sired shape and fired. Certain pre-
cautions must be observed, however,
during the firing-in especial the clay
must be prevented from becoming too
much vitrifed and contracting too
greatly. It must. on the contrary, pre-
serve as large as as possible an ex-
ternal surface and thus remain porous
in the interior. This is accomplished
by suitable modification of the firing
process. The vessels thus prepared
are first sprayed with fused aluminium
and then receive thicker layer of
metal "copper" or brassl. When water
is poured into a jug thus prepared it
becomes highly radioactive in the
course Of few days. Instead of jugs
clay tubes can be manufactured in the
same manner and simply slipped into
ordinary drinking vessels. The radio
active water obtained in this manner
is used not only as a curative agent,
but it is suggested that it be employed
for the watering of plants, since it has
been discovered that radium is favor
able to the growth of Vegetation.

Trouble Brewing

For four happy years Jackie had
held, with great efficiency. the very
interesting-not to say lucrative
sition of only child. Suggestions OF
possible encroachment on his territory
had always met with emphatic dis
approval.
One day the family was much re-
joiced by the arrival of baby sister
for Jackie. But the announcement OF
a little new arrival seemed to hold but
small interest for him.
Decidedly he was not the one and
only child, and the new baby seemed
to have usurped his place as the center
Of the family interest.
Who wouldn't be just little resent
full? So when he was invited to make
the acquaintance of the little sister he
accepted with considerable hesitation,
and queriously demanded:
"Who brought that baby here?"
"Why, the stork brought her."
where is that stork?" asked Jackie.

see him"

The Ideal Lighting.

In interior illumination what is de-

tute for the sun new 1OO-watt lamp,
for the sky the creamy ceiling of a
living room and for. the tree an opal

Co1ored Gent Wanted

But Duncan followed him out, still
proclaiming his pugilistic prowess and
insisting, There is no argument; stay
here and hear it."
Policeman Frank McQuiley was
called and Duncan was arrested.
When the case was called Duncan
denied all knowledge OF the incident.

The Bubble Busted

The statements of experimenters
that because Of the citation method
of mineral separation the future of
copper production, and therefore Of
the electrical industry, is largely de-
pendent on bubbles is declared by stu
dents of industrial development to be
exaggerated. The electrical industry
is no more dependent upon this pro-
cess, it is declared, than is any other;
but it will benefit more directly, ex-
perts say, from this intensive method
of copper refining than any other in
dustry which does not use copper so
extensively.

High Speed Record
er for Wireless
Apparatus

Newly designed apparatus for high
speed transmission and reception, now
being perfected in the Schenectady
plant of the General Electric Company,
will be installed. No definite an
nouncement has yet been made of the
device to be used, but it is probable
it will be the Hoxie visual and photo
graphic apparatus, which in tests
made at Otter Cliff, near Bar Harbor,
Me, has recorded messages at the rate
of 400 words per minute. In special
laboratory tests of low power mes
sages, the rate has been increased to
5000 words per minute.
Messages received at these speeds
would be secret to other radio plants,
for no human being would be able to
receive at that remarkable speed. The
average operator can take but twenty
to thirty-five words per minute, or but
one-thirtieth the speed of the Hoxie
machine.
The mechanism Of the Hoxie ma
chine is based on comparatively sim
pie electrical engineering principle. A
light weight mirror "flutters" in
electromagnetic tune with the minute
electric impulses coming from the re-
ceiving autenna. The duration and ex-
tent of the mirrors oscillations vary
according to the dot, dash or silence
of the sending station.
The mirror reflects beam of light
on a moving sensitized tape. This
tape, propelled by an electric motor,
progresses up and down through the
vertical pipes which contain the devel-
oping and fixing chemicals.
Automatically, the tape enters the
developing fluid and next the hypo
fixing bath; then it is washed in run
ming water and is dried by electric
heat, assisted by a forced draft-all
invisible effected inside the single ma
chine.
Lii ekthe tape from a stock brokers',
the message pours out of the device
into a basket. There is an average of
one word for every inch Of. tape. The
receiving operator can read the mes
sage at the rate of so to 100 words per
minute. t-.
The time to record, develop, fix,
wash and dry the tape is from two to
four minutes. The rolls of tape are
1000 feet long and continuous mes
sage of 10000 words can be recorded
without reloading the machine.
Countless details Of great technical
interest and engineering Importance
are embraced in the specifications for
the new Long Island station. prepared
by combining the personnel of the
Radio Corporation and the General
Electric Company, an agreement made
possible by the recent merger effected
by these interests and the absorption
of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company of America. Even to the I'M
initiated in technical matters this
gives assurance Of perfection of detail
in design; equally certain results will
follow in the manufacture of the ap-
paratus, which has been delegated to
the General Electric Company, while
the construction of the station will be
under direction of the engineering
stan of the radial corporation.
