NEW BOTTLING
EQUIPMENT IN

Underhill Brothers, owners of
the Coca Cola Bottling works on
North Main Street have just COM
pleted the installation of a COM
plete new bottling plant.
This new machinery now gives
Las Vegas as modern a bottling
plant as is to be found anywhere.
From the time the bottles enter
the machine until they come out,
filled, they are never touched by
human hands Every bottle Is
sterilized with steam and steri-
lizing solution. then cleaned with
revolving brushes both inside and
out. After the bottle is cleaned it
goes through a series Of rinses
where clean water under high pres
sure completes the cleaning job.
The bottle then travels along a
conveyor where it is filled with
Coca Cola, capped and ready for
delivery.
To see what modern machinery
will do is quite astonishing. so
much so that the Underhill Broth
ars expect to hold an "open house"
in the near future, SO that the
public may see how it is done.

Salt Deposits VIII ProUe
Boon to Southern NeUada
il with somethine else

ii with something else.
Chlorine is used as a bleach by
laundries in great quantities. Il
was used during the war in gas
bombs. Recently. breathing Of di-
luted chlorine gas has been dis
covered to be a rapid and almoS.
positive cure for colds, grip and
nasal troubles.
Some years ago it was used in
silver mining by roasting the ores
with Salt Experimental work in
metalurgy has recently been made
by crushing both gold and silver
Cres in rolls, through which chlor-
inc gas has been passed The pro-
cess has not been perfected com
mercially, but gives some promise.
Hence. if we cannot use these
enormous deposits of salt as a
mere matter of food, it IS perfectly
practical to break it up by the use
Of electricity and use the elements
in other combinations

in the world and as a matter of
fact there should be a great deal
more of it used. if for no other
purpose than disinfecting certain
garbage cans and the like.
Enormous quantities Of common

grocery and drug store in the
country, and I've is sodium hydroX-

Obviously Nevada has many pos
sibilities for using its sodium and
chlorine compounds, but this can
not be developed until electric
power plants can furnish sufficient
power at a low cost.
With cheap power and an un-
limited supply Of salt, there are
many things that Nevada could

Southern Neyada's huge salt
deposits are going to prove one
of the greatest assets when
chemical industries begin TAX
ing advantage of these re-
sources and the cheap power
to De generated by the plant
to be built at Boulder Dam.
Nevada is well supplied with
salt. One OF these deposits is near
Las Vegas. One OF the large de-
posits from which salt is already
being placed on the market is near
Fallon. There is another had Of 1t
which could be mined with a
steam shovel near MillerS in ES-

In addition to this, the floor OF
Death Valley is underlaid with
salt. Three diamond drill holes,

the outer holes, were drilled before
the war by drilling crews in search
of potash. The holes were 1000
feet deep and the core for the
entire depth was solid rock salt

there is a mountain Of salt. and We
naturally wonder if there is any
use for so much salt.
When Nature was distributing
the commodities over the earth,
Nevada received its full share Of
salt and Soda-alkah.
The question now arises, that in
asmuch as We have this material
pretty generally distributed, what
can we do with it? Obviously, we
can't eat it all. Hence, if we are
going to make any application OF
the commodity SO layishly handed
to Us by old Mother Nature, it will
be necessary TO break it up into
its component parts and combine

RABID COYOTE BITES
MULE AND DOGS

Rabies again broke out in Hum

found that a mad" coyote was in
fected with the disease feared by
stock and sheep men.
The coyote was not discovered
until after it had bitten a work
mule, owned by the Esparza and
Esain ranch near Paradise hill
and several valuable sheep dogs
owned by Isadore Laucirica, who
also owns a ranch III the same
district. Laucirica was successful IN
killing the rabid coyote Saturday
and an examination of its head
proved that the animal was in

City Will Be Center for Great 20
Mineral Development, Says
New Manager of Local z
Stock Exchange. :. ,.i.,, : ,t'''

Las Vegas is going TO become
the finance center for a great
metal and non metallic miner
al development in the near
future, according to f. NJ. Dor
Sey of GOldfield, Nevada min
ing man for twenty-five years
who was named manager and
assistant secretary of the Las
Vegas Stock Exchange Satur-
day.
The success of the exchange will
be governed wholly by the develop
ment of mineral and non-metallic
mining interests around Las Vegas,
Dorsey stated shortly after his APP
pointment by the board fofi. gov
ernors.
There are vast deposits of sui
phur, fullers' earth anda other nom
metallic minerals which will be
opened for exploitation when Boul-
der Dam has brought cheaper
power to this locality he said.
To Depend on Las Vegas"
Southwestern Utah, northwest
ern Arizona and Southern Nevada,
all rich in minerals. will depend
largely upon Las Vegas brokers for
aid in financing" he added. This
city will become the financial CEN
ter for a wide area extending far
into all three states
Dorsey contrasted the growth he
expected TO see heere with that of
Goldfield during that city's boom
in 1906 Goldfield sprung from 9
town OF $500 to a city of 70 n0l
in less than a year, whereas Las
Vegas is destined to enjoy a more
permanent growth, he pointed out,
due to the mining developments
which are bound to take place.
Las Vegas is now the home Of
flee of most of the mining con-
Germs being founded upon the basis
OF the recent rich strike at Car
rera, and l think this is the nat
ural headuarterS for all activities
through that district. They will
want exchange quotations, and
that's where this exchange will
draw its business. Intelligent pur-
chaSers demand listed stocks now

Old Time Miner
Dorsey, who is also manager of
the PurSel- Martin company, brok-
ers. has had headquarters at Gold
field since 1904, prior to which he
was a member of the Colorado
Springs exchange for the Cripple
Greek mines.
He was one of the leSsees of the
Francis Mohawk mine in Goldfield
in 1906 and 1907, associated with
d. Mackenzie He was one of
group who offered 100000 cash in
1905 or 1906 for the present Gold

Local Lodge Licks Invaders,
13 to I in First lnter-City
Ball Game OF SEASON.;
Redskins to Play Next.

Making seven scores in the
eighth inning in the first ball
game of the season with an
outside team, the Las Vegas
Eagles lodge team played ring
around -the-rosie Sunday with
the Needles tow ii team know
as the Eagles" The final score
was IL to /.
The invadeing Eagles started the
game off looking fine. They went
to bat first, and one OF their men
followed two-bagger with a third
base steal and went home on an
overthrow. That one score, the first
in the game, was the only tally
rung up by the visitors, however.
The locals evened up the score
in the third, and there 1t stayed
until the fourth inning, when
Jacomini made short infield hot
shot. which zoomed right past the
Needles infielder. and brought nome
two men who were on bases, lodg-
ing Jacomini himself on third.
Merry Go Round
In the fifth both sides got men
on bases, but that was all. The
sixth and seventh slipped past with
no more scores made. and both
sides diShed up a fine brand OF
baseball. Men were put out on
bases repeatedly by vigilant pitch
ers on both sides.
In the last half of the eighth
came the merry-go-rOund. The
Eagles lodge boys got three men
on bases, and about that time
the California pitcher blew up,
higher than a kite.
Seven runs came in thick and
fast for the local boys during the
inning before the visitors changed
pitchers, and the score board SAID
