grain gunpowder IS slower burning
 than rifle grain powder. although
 weight for weight they may both
 develop the same power, but with a
 different result. This retardation
 causes lithofracteur to act with
 greater rending effect than in the case of other nitro glyceriue com pounds, which have a smashing ac- tion. With lithofracteur the rock is not merely crushed to powder within limited area around the bore hole, but is rent and fssured-lifted, in fsct-to a very wide extent, so that at each shot the miner gets much more ground. This has been proved by the use of lithofracteur, and the fact being recognized by practical men, it may be concluded that It's merits only require to be better known for it to take it's place with dynamite as useful blasting agent. But whether this be so or not, it in no way alters the fact that there is wide and increasing field for any ex- plosive which enables blasting oper- atlons to be carried on with rapidity, and economy, and that ex- plosive at the present time IS unques- dynamite.

Pathetic Story of a Parrot.

There IS fruit and poultry deal or in town who owns talking parrot
 and the quaint, phllosophic utter ances of the wise-looking creature furnish much amusement to passers- by. The parrot talks necessarily, and the owner some months ago re- fused largo Lrice offered for the bird by married man. who said he wanted it as a sort of stand-off for his wife. The poultry dealer posit- lvely refused to sell, however, but confidently remarked to the other: "Fact is. that's what I keep the par rot for myself. When anybody starts in scolding, you observe, that bird takes the rrst hand in the jawing match. Nobody else can get in a word edgeways, and if you swear at her, why you'd think you'd woke up half a dozen angry bull-whackers. "No, sir" he added, looking sYmps- thetically at the other married man, 'I won't part with that bird at any price, but l will set up the beer for you"
 An oviparous story Is told con cerning the parrot, the burden of which falls, as a matter of course, on an Irishman. He had never seen a blrd of the kind before, and had been listening for half an hour to its wise sayings,with keen interest, not unmix- al with Rtya

Modern Blasting Agents.

One of the first requirements il
 carrying out mining, qusrrying and
 tunuelihg operations, is, says Iron re
 gently, the dislodgement of large
 masses of rock and other similar
 natural formations as quickly, safely
 and eheaply as possible. For many l years the only explosive at command
 WAS gunpowder, and in many cases
 the process of blasting was slow and
 unsatisfactory, particularly i'll wet or
 very hard ground. In the course of time, however, chemistry came to the rescue of the miner, and gave him the
 means of blasting in the wettest ground and in the hardest geological formation. where he was, in the one case. unable to "keep hls powder dry, !" and. III the other, to get any ground at sll, especially in vertical holes. Modern chemistry has produced a long list of explosives of far more powerful character than gunpow1er, some of which have found theIr way largely into practice for mining ahd gen -ral blasting purposes. The ten dency of invention in this direction has been to produce an explosive com pound which shall develop greater power than guapowder. and which snail c1''s qa n,iy perform an equal 0: ,reater a,n0ult of work with 8 .ssser quantity oI explosive, and above si., Yalch sba,. lOt be explCd- dble except under the actual cundi- tIOns If work. Of the numerous at tempts which have been made to snperseds gunpowder for blasting purp )ses, only few have succeeded, owlug to the delicately sensitive nature of the ingredients or to some other equally opjeetional feature, These unsuccessful atten pts form long list which 1t is not necessary here to consider, our object being to indicate the practicable results of scientific research in this direction of late years. Tho successful attempts can be counted on the fingers ends; they relate mainly to nltro-com- pounds, of which gun-cotton, dy- namite and Iithofracteur are the chief.
 Although gun cotton and kindred explosive agents possess a wide sphere of usefulness, especially with regard to military purposes, that sphere does not include mining operations. The rigidity of gun.cotton and simi, lar cartridges IS great disadvantage in charging the bore-hole, the charge being liable 10 stick fast, and this
Mohave County miner., 1883-12-30

has, in fact, been the cause of acci
 dents in the past. The plastic ma
 ture of dynamite and lithofracteur
 on the contrary, permits of the car
 fridge adapting itself to any irregu
 laritles that may occur in the bore
 hole, so the operation of charging is
 facilitated, and one great source of
 danger IS absent. Hence the nitro glycerine compounds are greatly pre-
 ferred to those explosives winch in
 their nature are rigid and incompres
 sibie. As nat1ral result. and seeing
 that the power of well-made standard dynamite that is, dynamite contain ing 75 per cent of nitro7glycerine and 9 per cent of kieselgnhr-is equal to that of pure compressed gun-cotton, dynamite has taken 8 firm stand as one of tine most practically useful explosive agents for industrial pur- poses. Tbe practical introduction of dynamite in this country took place in 1867, and We well remember the first public demonstration of it's power aud usefulness at some qnar. ries in Surrey. According to stats tics given by Sir Frederick Able in hls inaugural address ss President of the Society of Chemical Industry, and published in our issue of Au- gust 3I, 1883, it appears that in 1867 the sale of dynamite was II tons only. The sales, however, rapidly increased year by year, so that in 1877 the an- nual sales from Nobel's dynamite factorles alone were $500 tons, whilst in 1882 they reached $500 1 tons. This however, by no means tre total amount of dyna- mite made and used, for Sir Freder- lck states that ke does not include several other factories on the Cont aent, where considerable quantities of dynamite and simil,S Ire made.

 he, "who does as he agrees, and

 ''that the redskins have great deal of respect for brave man, and le.

 "How did it happen?" inquired the reporter.
 Il will tell you," resumed the old gentleman, and after taking 8 chew of tobacco about the size of hens egg, he began: Ut was in the Fall of 1878 when I was in camp at Big Stone lake, near the boundary line of Dakota and Minnesota. I had everything in fine shape for the winter, and expected good season at trapping. One night when I was busy on four quart pan of beans two Sioux bucks suddenly made their appearance and asked for some thing to eat. gave them some beans, some bread, and a slice of about everything I had, but they kept asking for more all the time and I'll be darned if they didn't eat as much of my winter stock of pro vIslons as would have lasted me for week. This made me kJnd of mad, but 1 said nothing, and when they were so full that they couldn't crowd any more down they took their de- parture. Very soon after they had left l put OH my overcoat, took my gun in hand, and started to visit my traps Well, sir, everyone of those traps was gone. I Icouldnt find hide nor halr of them, aud thinks I, this is sort Q strange. By and bye 1t came to me that perhaps those bucks knew something about them; so I started after them. 1 had not fol lowed their trail far before I dIs- covered them down in little hol- low, laughing and chuckling over my traps. l didn't stop to breathe a very long prayer over them, but raised my piece and put just twelve into each of their carcasses, and then dumped them into the river. l told the magistrate of the nearest town of what I had done when came out of the woods in the Spring, and he said to me: I am glad oft, wish you had killed the whole tribe The other time was Rhep couple of young bucks let |

 certainty and safety, dynamite has
 come to be an indispensable necessity wherever mining operations are carried on. But although possessing many advantages, dynamite has two slight drawbacks. h tue iirst place it develops nitrous fumes after shot has been fired. This causes great loss of time in close workings, where the men cannot get back to their work until the noxious gases have cleared away. The development of these fumes is dae to the fact that during combustion the atoms ot nitro-glycerine are converted into gas with such enormous rapidity that ln their divided condition-that is, when mixed only with an inexplosive absorbent, such as kieselguhr-they have not time to communicate explo sion to each other throughout the whole mass of the charge, and a DOT ton IS consequently blown out of the b0re-hole unconsumed The energy developed by the explosion of the main bulk of the charge so acts upon the unconsumed portion of the nitro glycerine as to convert it into vapor, which mixes with the atmosphere, and with the smoke from the fuse, hangs about the face of the work for considerable time. This it is which causes the fumes which are detri- mental to health, and which enforce idleness on the part of the miner while waiting for them to clear off. On the other hand, the use of litho- fracteur is not accompanied by thls disadvantage, for it does not develop any fumes by its explosion if pro- perly used, as has been demonstrated by practical experience in its use. The reason of this IS that, whilst lithofracteur contains a smaller per. centage of nitro-glycerine than dynamite, 1t also contains other in gredients, which, while acting as perfect absorbent. assist also in the and enable every atom of the nitro-gl !cerlne to be exploded in the bore hole, thus preventing any portion being projected into the air in the form of poisonous gas, tbe re- suit of imperfect combustion.
 The second drawback possessed by dynamite IS, that it's action being. exceedingly rapid, is more or less locally intensified, producing a | smashing rather than a rendiug effect on the rock. Fms rapidity of ! action is due to the fact that nitro glycerine Is the sole explosive, the development ot the power due to its combustion being enormously rapid. Lithafrocteur, on the other hand, eontists of nitro-glyeerine, combined with large additional percentage of other combustible and explosive ab Borbent media, and but a small pro portion only of uncomfortable matter. The result is that the action and re- action of the ingredients of litho- fracteur are nicely balanced as to cause retardation of the explosion. In other words, 1t Is slower burning than nitro-glycerire, just as large

, ranging themselves in such man 7 Ter that not long hence the mineral agricultural and grazing resources of the Territory will each commanc all the capital that will be needed for the entire development to tho
 utmost production point. Up to tht present day the great elements oi
 wealth within our borders have gone
 begging for money and enterprise tc
 unearth their riches and give it to the world at large. The trials oi that period are fading as does the drop of dew beneath the ardent sun of June. Arizonians themselves have had but an inadequate idea of what was in Arizona in the way of material wealth. Our mines have been the chief attraction, and through ignor- ance of their requirements they have oftea proved more of au elephant than thoir owners could manage. Mining in Arizona is an art per SC. It is not mining in Nevada; it Is not mining in California; it IS not min ing for precious metals as conducted in any other portion of the United States, New Mexico. perhaps except ed. The conditions are widely diff feront on the whole, and their char acteristics were to be studied in the field and mastered by experience. That experimental period is now be- ginning to reveal its results. and our miners shoulder their picks and go into the mountains full of confidence in their ability to obtain abundant reward for actual work. We believe that Arizona to-day has four out of six of the most important miniug dis tricts in the United States-gold, silver and copper being in consider ation. We have faith in Tombstone and the Quijotoas; Clifton and the United Verde have passed from tho limits of faith to the realms of fact. l When men exerclse sense enough to understand that where litigation l steps in capital steps out, there will be moro noted mining districts In Arizona. Experiepce ID tbis respect has taught Arizona cost less she ought to profit from it; s11e haA profted by it. Before ansther year capital will be grabbing for good mining property.
 The agricultural experience of Cal lfornia will in general way prove to be the Experience of Arizona. i Not many years hence what are now regarded as worthless lands will be burdened with grains and fruits in wonderful profusion and perfection. But agriculture, like mining in Arr zona, has peculiar characteristics of
  it's own that can only be mastered and understood by experience on the gronnd. The experience of other localities may be an advantage, but success will only come from 8 thor ough knowledge of the conditions here present. In thls line of busi- ness the experimental period is just now eliminating in the establish ment of valuable facts which being known make grain and fruit growing B success among us.
 Stockraising has few difficulties ,o contend with. It is 8 success here IS Tn all the southwest, but the ad vent of railroads has given it more prominence by giving it readier markets.
 Spe aking of railroads, mining and agriculture both demand better fa- ,ilities of this klnd than they yet nave. They will have those facilities rom some source; they are obliged o have them and will build them.
