INDELIBLE PENCILS ,
FACILITATE WORK OF
TABULATING RETURNS
LOS ANGELES.—By the substi
tution of indelible pencils for pen
and ink, which a bill pending be
fore the legislature now provides,
r election officials of this county
would save 200 miles of arm move
ment, according to David B. Lyons,
county registrar of voters.
Mr. Lyons estimates that every
tally clerk at precinct voting head
quarters moves his arm two feet in
tallying a vote with pen and ink,
and approximately one foot to blot
his tally. Declaring there are about
.< 350,000 voters in the county, Mr.
Lyons calculates the distance tally
clerks’ arms must travel in tallying
these votes with pen, ink and blot
ter is more than 199 miles.
Earlier returns and more legible
ones will result from the substitu
tion, the county official says.

CALIFORNIA TOWN
WILL HAVE FIRST
AERIAL POLICEMAN
VENICE. Cal.—A proposal made
more in jest than in earnest result
ed in giving Otto Meyerhoffer the
distinction of being among the first
few aerial police officers in the
United States.
City Trustee Edward A. Gerety
at a recent meeting of the board
proposed that the office of aerial
police be created, more as a joke
than anything else. When his fel
low members on the board of trus
tees considered the help which an
aerial policeman could give in set
tling disputes of fishermen off shore
and apprehending speeding motor
ists, the proposal lost its comic as
pect and the position was created
by unanimous vote.
Meyerhoffer will wear the regula
tion uniform of the Venice police
department and will be given a
regular shift in which to work.

HANEY LEAVES
The McGonegal power scow Mary,
which came down from Fairbanks
night before last, left for Roosevelt
this morning with supplies for the
Haney outfit which is engaged in
quartz development work on the
Quigley properties on the divide
between Friday and Eureka creeks.
The shipment was accompanied by
James Haney, who is directing op
erations, and Joe Quigley and Wm
Bryson went along as passengers.
Bryson will cook for the Haney
party.
Mr. Haney took a number of ore
samples to Fairbanks for assay at
the bureau of mines station, and
reports that the results obtained
were highly satisfactory, indicating
an increase in the richness of the
ledge with depth. At the time
Haney came out, he had four men
at work on the property and the
shaft had reached a depth of 20
feet. Two men are also engaged in
moving supplies to the camp from
Roosevelt, a distance of 30 miles,
two pack-horses being used for that
purpose.
The Haney launch was taken
along for the trip out when more
samples have been obtained, it be
ing the intention of Haney to have
frequent assays made so as to keep
accurate tab on the development
work. When the work will permit,
and there are sufficient supplies on
the ground to feed a larger force,
additional men are to be put to
work.
Most of the supplies taken into
the Kantishna by the Mary were
purchased in Nenana, a large part
of the outfit having been obtained
from the X. C. company.

BUREAU 101
SAN FRANCISCO.—Gold mining
in California, which passed through j
hard days during the war, owing to !
the greater cost of production and:
the fact that this ore did not ex-1
perience the advanced prices offered i
for other metals, will be aided in j
every possible way by the Califor-j
nia state mining bureau to recup- ;
erate.
Permanent headquarters will be j
established for field assistants at j
Auburn. Placer county, and at Red-j
ding, Shasta county. All the fa-1
cilities of the bureau will be placed :
at the disposal of miners to aid j
them in solving their problems.
War conditions did much to i
quicken mining in practically all ,
metals used in the production of
ammunition and war munitions, thus I
stimulating an interest in the de- j
velopment of the state’s resources j
in many minerals which heretofore :
have been more or less dormant or
neglected.
The aid of the bureau will be ac-'
corded not only to the gold mining j
interests, but also to the producers i
of the various other metals.

rived in N'enana from the upper;
