HAGUE SEEKS CONTROL.
Bill introduced for Government
Power Over All Radio.

Government control Of both radio
transmission and reception is sought
by a bill recently filed in the Neither
lands Second Chamber, Commercial
Attache Van Wicket reports to the
Department of Commerce from The
Hague. Not only government control
but a close censorship of broadcasts
is proposed-"so that nothing con-
trary to the safety Of the state or
public order may be broadcast"
Governmental permits to install and
operate all sending and receiving ap.
paratus are required. The installa-
ton and operation of all transmitters
would fall under the state control,
but the location of stations, wave
length and power assignments would
be subject to license, the report states.

DAMP AFFECTS ANTENNA.
Leakage Likely to Develop if It Is
Uninsulated.

In damp weather an uninsulated
antenna will develop much leakage of
intercepted radio energy and will
prove very unsatisfactory.
If the lea6-in wire is taken from the
middle of the antenna, which forms a
TYPE antenna, the wave length will
be, somewhat decreased unless the
whole antenna is heightened accord
ingly.
A stranded phosphor bronze wire
makes a good antenna because it is
a good conductor of high frequencies.

ADVERTISE FOR
BIDS FOR BUILDING
OF HIGH WAY
Widening of Highway From
Las Vegas To Jean Is Step
Preparatory To Oiling.-
Surface Will Be Oiled as
Soon as Contract Finished

The second step toward the oil
ing of the Arrowhead Trail
through Las Vegas was made this
week when bids were requested
for the construction of a twenty
four foot road bed with an eight
cen foot gravel surface from Las
Vegas to a point six miles south
of Apex, near the West End Chem
ical road. These contracts include
work for widening the road south
of Las Vegas to Jean. This work
consists in extending the roadbed
to twenty-four feet from eighteen
feet and the gravel surface to
eighteen feet from fifteen feet.
The widening of the road is
necessary before any federal aid
can be had for this particular type
of Ofling.
According to c. c. Boyer, di-
vision engineer of the state high
ways department, the construction
and widening project should be
completed early in the spring and
the oil will he applied immedi-

Miles, Work Will Cost
Twelve Hundred Dollars.

A new road which will shorten
the distance from Las Vegas to
Eidorado Canyon by ten miles,
making the distance thirty-fOur
miles insead of forty-four is the
aim of prominent mining men in
the EldoradO Canyon district.
The route will be more direct
than the old road and it is claim
ed that it will be a much better
one and more cheaply maintained.
The estimated cost of this road
will be twelve hundred dollars of
which mining men in the EldOradO
Canyon expect to Furnish six
hundred.
Following is petition which
will be circulated by Mr.. c. E. L.
Gresh among the business men of
Las Vegas and Nelson who would
be directly benefited by the
change. Mr.. Gresh has subscrib-
ed for 300 of the amount:

They say that it will cost twleve

road and that, if I will find six
hundred of this amount, the
County will supply the balance
and that the road will be built at
once. In view of the good pros

Street Commissioner Smith
Says Law Will Be Enforced
Small Fines imposed on
LaWbreakers.

The motorists of Las Vegas will
have the opportunity to see how
their brakes work as soon as the
new biulevard stop signs are put
in place. In all probability the
city will be repaid for the signs
in a short time by the small fines
that are imposed and paid. The
garage men of the city can also
eNpecte an increase of business in
the brake adjusting department.
Strete Commissioner Oh. Smith
has announced that the signs will
be placed next week.
The following streets will be
graced with the handsome red and
white, dividend paying signs:
Main from Carson to Stewart; I;
Fremont from Main to Fifth and
Fifth street south of Fremont.
Watch your step brother motor
list, the price will probably be a
dollar for the first offense and
maybe more for the second.

MILL PRODUCTION
EXCEEDS ESTIMATES
Modern Rod Mill Capable OF
Working 1000 Overload
Operations on Definite
ScheduIe.-Flirst Car Ore
Shipped.

Through mill tests conducted
during tine first week of actual
operations at the properties OF the
Argentena Consolidated Mining
Company, it has been found that
the capacity of the mill was un-
derestimated, and that the mill
under normal conditions can
handle twice the mount of ore or
iginaMy estimated, according to
George A. Tweedy, engineer in
charge of operations at the mine.
Prior to the completion of the
plant 1t was estimated that with
the equipment installed by the
company the capacity of the mill
would be so to so tons per day.
During the past week, however,
the first week of actual milling
operations, a daily average of 20
tons per day was established, and
it is believed that when the plant
is operating at its maximum eff
cheney the reduction of 100 to 120
tons of ore per day can easily be
established and maintained, Mr..
Tweedy said.
The increased capacity of the
mill is ascribed to the fact that
it has been found that the char
adter of the rock is such that it
is very easily crushed in the mod
ern rod mill installed by the COM
ipany. 1t is estimated that suffi-
cient ore OF this character, car
rying high values of lead, zinc,
silver and vanadium, has already
been Booked out by the company
to keep the mill operating for five
years.
Mining and milling operations at
the mine are now on definite
schedule. The company, on Satur-
day, shipped a car of nigh grade
ore from Jean, Nevada, on the
Union Pacific railroad. This is
the first car Of shipping ore sent
out since the completion of the
mill.
