Deputy Inspector to BE
Elected by Local
Amateurs

Fairmont vii have a dollar
asgear man" In the government
radio service, II recommendations
OF the amateur committee OF the
recent Radio Telephony Confer
ence In Washington, held under
the auspices Of the Department
of commerce, are accepted by the
officials of that department.
This Information was set forth
IS communications received by To-
cal men interested in radio work.
The committee recommended that
for the purpose OF self-policing
among the hams, as amateur
operators are called, deputy ra-
do inspectors be created, elected
BY the amateurs Of each locality.
Upon such election, It was rec
Commended, the radio inspector In
the district would appoint the
man elected as a deputy, "serv-
ing without compensation or for
the sum OF one dollar per year II
compensation is legally requir-
ed The deputies would be
clothed In all authority necessary
70 the enforcement among amat-
eurs Of government radio laws
and regulations in their district.
Among other recommendations
OF the amateur committee were
the following: ~ That the ex-
net status OF the amateur be es-
tabliahed by law, C2) that the
wave leugth band allocated to the
amateur be from $50 to 275. me
tiers, and (3) that the amateurs
continue to be under the jurisdic-
tion OF the Department OF Com
merce.
The committee also suggested
the following definition for the
word "broadcasting": TRANSMITS
sion to an unlimited number Of
receiving stations without charge
atthe receiving end" This was
differentiated from toll broad
casting" which was defined to
signify "broadcasting by a pub
lie service radio telephone COM
pany as a paid service"
It was recommended also that
direct advertising in radio broad
casting service be not permitted
and that indirect advertising be
limited to a statement of the call
letters of the station and of the
name OF the concern responsible
for the matter b~roadcasted.
Among the interesting sugges-
tions from the nomenclature COM
mittee is one recommending that
instead of the word wireless"
and names derived from 1t, the
prefix radio" be used, as radio
telegraphy," and radio teleph-
ony." Instead OF States or
KS" It was recommended that
atmospheric disturbances" or
aatmospherics" be used. For the
generic title Of the vacuum tube
lot any number Of electrons, "elec-
tron tube" was preferred.

this ore is very hieh grade and is

indicate that the ore will average

ing in silver with a small lead con-
tent. Great reliance can be placed
on panning to estimate the value of
the ore as mines from the Lyndon
property and an experienced opera
tor can closely estimate the silver
content. An account of its desirable

ment charge is levied by the smelt-
ers on the Lydon ore and the total
cost of mining, transportation and

PLAN TO RESUME DEVELOPMENT
WORK AT VIRGINIA LOUISE MINE

With their affairs in first class
shape as a result of the recent
shake-up, the Virginia Louise Min
ing company plans to finance the re-
sumption of development work or
their property. A number of attrac-
tive offers have recently been made
to the officials for the financing Of
this work and the providing of up
to-date surface equipment in addi-
tion to the funds for underground
work. Offers have also been receiv-
ed for the marketing OF a small tom
mage of fiuxing ore which indicates
that the smelling situation is be-
ginning to approach normal condi-
tion.
Active work was discontinued nj
the mine on May 9th, last year, and
the resplts of the last work, accom-
plished were of great interest. A

put up to catch the upper ore beds
