ARENTz BILL UP
FOR DISCUSSION
IsrkcrAL cosaEsroNprscE,

lorhCiL CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, DC, May L.
The introduction last year in the
House of "a bill to revise, amend,
and codify the laws of the United
States relating to the location of
mining claims on the public domain,
and for other purposes" technically
known as H. R. 7736, and popularity
in Congress called the Arentz bill
called the Arentz bill, or the Mining
bill, was followed by a storm of
Democratic billingsgate calculated
to discredit Nevada's representative
in Congress.
The bill, accompanied by state
ment of the United States Bureau of
Mines, was widely circulated in the
West, and it called forth the most
profound discussion of mining law
and procedure ever advanced. Much
unthinking condemnation was show
cred on the head of the introducer
of the measure, although it was
clearly stated at all times that H.
r. 7736 was a draft submitted by
a committee of engineers appointed
by a director of the Bureau of
Mines under another administration.
Testimony called forth at the
first hearing on this bill last Thurs
day before the House committee on
mines and mining, although prelimi-
nary, was well calculated to place
Representative Arentz in a just
light before those who had maligned
him. 1t was developed by the state
ments of H. Foster Balm, director of
the Bureau of Mines, and Walter
R. Ingalls, of New York, the chair
man of the committee Of engineers
appointed to draft this measure,
that the only question before the
committee in the first place was the
proposed abolition of the extra
lateral rights, or so-called "apex''
law. All other propositions in the
present bill we're moot points with
the committee, which it was desired
to clear up.
Asked directly by Chairman
Rhodes if they were in favor of
H.R. 7736 in it's present form, both
of these witnesses answered NO;
and they further declared that their
opinions had been altered by the
mass of technical protest submitted
by mining men of the country be-
cause of the widespread publicity
given the bill by the Nevada Con-
gresham.
Director Balm is leaving for
Alaska to be absent for an indefinite
time. He has promised to write an
extended statement of his views, as
altered by the discussion of the
mining bill. Hearings will be re-
sumed some time this week, it is
promised. Indications seem to be
that a considerable number of east
ern engineers may be present, and
that Congressman Arentz will be
the only one to represent the prac-
tical mining men of the west.

Seek Cheap Power Alcohol.

Gasoline users will be interested to
know that the search for cheap
sources Of power alcohol still con-
tinues. A recent writer In Nature
suggests that foodstuffs are too valu-
able at present for such uses, but
thinks that waste land In Ireland
might be used to produce crops to be
utilized in this way. Arrowroot,
cassava and corn are possibilities In
tropical countries; and a number OF
cellulose materials, such as straw and
sawdust, offer possibilities in indus
trial regions.

TRoWBRIDGE PERFEcTlNe
 NEW TIMING APPARATUS

New York, June 1.-Followers of track athletics are keenly interested in the announcement from Princeton university that Prof. Augustus TroW- bridge is perfecting an instrument that automatically registers the timing and placing of runners beyond possibility of error. On the heels of the dissat- isfaction expressed by some who were displeased with the judging at the Intercollegiate meet in Cambridge last Saturday athletic officials here hope the apparatus will be given an official testing soon.
 Replacing the tape that now is ex- tended across the finish line, which is broken by the first man to finish, Prof, Trowbridge's device consists of a fin ish tape for each lane, the tape to be attached to poles. The parting of the tape automatically records on a film, by means of electrical and reflective devices, the exact time. The film is similar to that used in motion pictures and may be instantly developed, elim- mating delay.
 The apparatus records both the start and the finish, connected by a microscopic arrangement which begins to function with the firing of the starters pistol. The finish tapes are so connected that in addition to the elapsed time shown the instrument accurately discloses the relative posi- tion of the runner. Tests still are un- der way at Palmer Stadium and a perfected apparatus may be available for next autumn.
