and exploration, this work now being
under way. During the past month a
drift from a 60-foot shaft has been
carried out under the big outcrop q
distance of 225 feet, which reaches a
nernendicular depth of 100 feet, and
where important ore has been enter
ed. This crosscut is expected to be
carried in at least 1000 feet, and head
ings carried off in other directions.
Two other crosscut tunnels are to
be driven toward the south from a
point 1900 feet east of the shaft, these
tunnels to be carried under the in
closing hills at least 1000 feet. The
shaft is ito be carried to a depth of
500 feet, laterals to be carried off at
the 200 and 300 levels. Three shifts
are to be worked on the tunnels ana
in the shaft. At the present time IL
men are employed but when the two
tunnels arei STARTED next week the

understood that the amount of money
to be expended in the carrying on of
this work will be fully 100000, and

Another Demonstration
of Water Measurement
at ChGs. White Ranch

Another water measurement demon
stration was held in the Double
Adobe community Tuesday, May 25,
at Charles White S rarck. The demon
stration consisted of showing the
proper methods used in the measure
ment of irrigation with a Cipoletti
weir. The length of the crest of
the weir was two feet as compared
with the three foot crest used in
the demonstration held in the upper
Sulphur Springs Valley last Thurs
day. The demonstration was con-
Quoted by Charles A. Smith, county
agricultural agent.
The plant measured consists of a

inch vertical centrifugal pump. The
total lift is not available.
The maximum discharge of the
plant gave a depth of two and three
quarters. inches over the weir. crest or
an output of 333 gallons per- minute.
After one half hour pumping, the
discharge fell to two and one4quar-
ter inches or the equivalent of 247
gallons per minute at which point it
remained during the rest of the time
the plant was in operation.
Two other plants were weired by
Smith in the same community during
the day. The first, consisting of a
six horsepower engine and a two
and one-hlaf inch vertical centrifugal
pump, showed a maximum discharge
of 1877 gallons per minute Total
lift was Al feet.
The second hOrSepOwer cine

maximum discharge of 247 gallons

The c. & A. company has made his

OF the mining strides made by the men
Who originally headed this corpora

The claims invoNed are disseminat-

late Gen. John C. Greenway brought
to such a successful conclusion, and
which are owned by the men who have

For the past several years Richaro

HYDROCYANIC ACID
USES EXPLAINED
BY P. D. OFFICER

Hydrocyanic acid, a preparation of
potassium cyanide and sulphuric acid
used lin the manufacture of lethal
gas which the state of Nevada en-
ployed so effectively in snuffing out
the life of Stanko Jukish, convicted
of the murder of his sweetheart Il
few days ago, has been used for ages
by mankind for industrial purposes
and as means of combating agents
of the bubonic plague, but only in
recent years has it's worth as a pain
less and humane death producer been
recognized, according to w. B. Cramer
of Warren, consulting engineer for
the Phelps Dodge corporation and
ranking officer in chemical warfare
division of the Arizona department of
the Officers Reserve association.
|. Lethal gas was used in the taking
of human life during the World war
in connection with the gas warfare
campaigns of the Germans, but it was
not employed extensively although it
is an extremely swift and sure means
of death, Cramer stated. It was q
common method of killing rats on
board ship as a means of combating
the bubonic plague and other con-
stagious diseases many years ago, he
asserted. Entrance to the nests of
the rats would be plugged up and d
quantity of the acid injected into
their lairs, producing instant death.
acid has also been used to some
extent in cyaniding coal and in the
concentrating of ores and has proved
unusually effective for these pur-
poses, Cramer stated
whether lethal gas will be uni
formly adopted by the various states
as means of execution of those con-
victed of murder, do not know, but
I believe it to be more humane and
| painless than any method in use at
the present time" the local man
averred.
| The victim of lethal gas never ex-
periences any unpleasant feeling or
agony, according to Cramer, who said
| that the instant the gas, produced by
hydroyanic acid, reaches anyone they
| Immediately fall into a stupor and
| then into unconsciousness
| The lethal gas used in taking the
| life of Jukish was probably manufac~
/ tured in an adjacent building to the
death cell so that the acid could be
| charged into the chamber without the
danger of any of the fumes escaping.
