How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar inn
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of
silver case was made Of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity Of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
Of one solid piece Of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering sohensit.
To test the superiority Of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 8 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make viii give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

James Boss and keystone watch Cases are made.

Butler Nominated.

The National Greenback Convention re-
assembled at Indianapolis on Thursday and
adopted resolutions denouncing subsidies
to corporations and demanding the re-
clamatiOn of lands forfeited by nonful-
fillment of contracts. They call for Congress
SiOnal regulation of inter- State COM
merce, the establishment of government
postal telegraph system and a graduated
income tax. A wise revision Of the tariff
laws is favored, but as an economic ques-
ton the tariff is declared far less import
ant than the financial issue; it is demanded
that farmers and manufacturers be furnish
ed money as cheaply as it Is now furnished
to the banker. An amendment to the
Constitution granting suffrage without
regard to sex, and also on the subject Of the
liquor traffic is recommended to popular
vote.
The roll Of States was called and C. E.
Cunningham, Of Arkansas, nominated Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler, which nomination
was seconded by Mr.. Chase, Of California,
and by the representatives Of the other
States until Georgia was reached, when Mr..
Craver, of that State. nominated Jesse
Harper, of Illinois, Mr.. Jones, of New
York, nominated E. P. Allis, of Wisconsin,
and Mr.. Atwood, of Pennsylvania, nomi-
mated T. B. Armstrong, of that State. A
ballot resulted in 1923 votes for Butler, SO
for Harper and few for the other candi-
dates. Scion Chase, although not placed in
nomination, received two votes. General
Butler was declared the nominee.

THE POCAHONTAS MINE.--A Chicago
special to the New York Herald says =
Stuart Buck, of Coalburg. w. Vail. Fl;
BramWell, of Roanoke, Va, and E. III.
Williams, of Bethlehem, Pa. a committee
appointed to investigate the Pocahontas
IVA. )mine explosion of March 18th, sub
mitted their report at meeting Of the
American Institute Of Miners to-day.
They say it is an exceedingly dry and dusty
mine. The dust floating into the cham
bers was among the causes leading to the
disaster. The ignorance Of under bosses
in having unimp0rtant doors tended, while
the main door was left fastened open dur
ingithe night, was another contributing
canse. The committee found that subOr-
dinates were not only careless but failed to
follow the rules Of the company in report
ing such state of affairs to the superin-
tendent. 1t was found that powder had
been carelesSly used in blasting from the
solid without making the necessary un-
dercuts. There was bare possibility, in
the committees estimation of very
slight amount of fire damp, as shown by
thespersistency of fame In blown-out shets,
and when smoke from the blast was sub
sequently ignited. No trace of gas was
found in any part of the mine before ven.
tilation was resumed. All the causes
named were harmless singly, but combined
were sufficient to cause the explosion, and
dust was the agent for extending it.. Had
it been gas it would have been local. The
mine was well ventilated, and the carry
ing out of the rules Of the company by its
employees would have spared the necessity
Of investigation.
