high to those who have little confidence that

Virginia sFootlight; Professor W. F..
Stewart has returned from Peavine Dis
trict, ten miles northwest Of Reno, where
be has been to examine the famous
Golden Fleece mine. He reports the
district as being one Of the richest in the
country. The ore of the district, though
very rich in gold and silver. is OF the
rebellious order. and contains zinc, tin,
sulphur and other minerals. Many pro-
cesses have been tried during the past
ten years to probably work the ore, but
none OF them proved successful. The
Professor says the same kind OF ore is
worked without any trouble in many
places in Colorado, and it is the lnten-
ton of the owreIs of the Golden Fleece
to erect similar works at Peavine. They
have already cut through the ledge,
which is well defined one, GO feet with
out reaching the wall. If the company
succeed in profitably working the ore by
the process which they are about to
adopt, Peavine will be one of the richest
districts in the world.

When will our miners become thor
oughly posted on the use Of giant
powder? The other day two miners, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. while thawing
ing out powder on forge in Tuscarora
had narrow escape from being blown to
atoms with the can and the forge. 1t is
not long since two men were killed in
Bingham while thawing out giant
powder, and there are men now in our
hospitals crippled badly by premature
explosions. Men should handle giant
powder with caution, never forgetting
that the death of dozen is right in one
cartridge. Never attempt to thaw the
powder out by boiling over fire. Never
cover it in hot ashes, as it is liable to ex-
plode at any moment when confined.
Never place it in your boot legs as it is a
very unreliable neighbor. II it cannot
be placed in the sun, the safest way is to
boil can of water, take it off the fire
and place an ore sack over the top OF the
can, upon this sack place your giant
powder, and throw over all few sacks,
and the steam will thaw out the powder,
and yet there is no danger Of an explos
ion, because there is no possibility Of
any of the nitro-glycerine getting into
the water. Empty the can after the
powder is thawed.
