BLOWING UP OF E-2 DISCLOSES
FOREIGNERS USE EDISON BATTERY
1 otos copy right. 1916. by American Press Association.
[Naval and state authorities began searching Investigations of the explosion on the I'niteil States submarine E-2 tn the Brook
lyn navy yard in which explosion four men were killed and ten were Injured. The R-2 was the only submarine In the
• ivy equipped with Edison batteries, for which the chief merit claimed Is that they do not give ofT chlorine gas. Also the
E-2 had no gas line aboard, as her power is generated by a Diesel oil burning engine There was no explosive powder
aboard If an accumulation of hydrogen caused the explosion, which was one explanation offered. It was gas which had
accumulated between the top of the steel battery Jars and the electrollte. Thomas A. Edison's persoqpj representative and
chief engineer. I>r. Miller Reese Hutchison, defended the Edison battery and doclared *vhat the Edison submarine
safety battery was In use In war by one power. It had been supposed that the United States had an option on the
exclusive use of the device If the tests to which it was to be subjected proved satisfactory. Tho photographs show:

RICH STRIKE IS MADE AT NOME
NOME, Jan. 20.—Although little
information has been given out in
side information is to the effect that
Maus & Co., working on Dexter creek,
have located rich pay. The details of
the strike have been kept quiet, as the
prospectors fear litigation, but from a
reliable source, it is learned that they
have three feet of pay that will aver
age 25 cents to the pan. The pay is
found within five feet of the grass
roots, so that it is easy ground to
work.
The strike is within a short dis
tance of Kathleen creek, where a rich
strike was made last winter. There j
is much prospecting in progress in
the district now and others have
hopes of finding the same pay.
Maus & Co. have sunk three holes
a hundred feet apart and have pay in
all of them.—Ex.
