4 Fatal. BLAST,
By Which Ben. Bywater was Worse
Than Killed-Ali Night In . Tunnel
with Thousand Gaping Wounds.

About half past o'clock this morn
ing Ben. Bywater was found in tun-
mel heading, on the West Fork No. 2
mine of the Philadelphia Mining and
Smelling Company, by man who
went in to change "shift" with him
He was mass OF wounds, having
been "perpereti'' with rock, was
bruised about the head and body,
complained of excruciating internal
pains, and was scarcely able to speak
audibly. About ton of rock covered
his lower extremities, aud he lay in a
pool of blood.
He stated, after considerable effort,
that about s o'clock last night, a blast
which he had put in failed to go off,
and he walked back to the heading to
see what was the matter. Just as he
reached it he saw the fuse "spit," aud
turned to run, but was too late. The
blast blinded him and nearly covered
him. Being alone, weak and bewil-
dered, he was unable to xtricate him
self from the debris, and finally gave
up and looked for death to end his
terrible sufferings. After what seemed
to him years of torture he was over
joyed at seeing dim light in the dis
lance, when the morning "shift" went
to work.
A toboggan was rugged up at once,
and four men started to town with
Bywater, but they could not quite ge,
there with him, AS he died at the smelt-
ing works, about half-a-mil from
town.
Deceased leaves wife, who is now
in the East, but no children. The
lady operator at the HALEY Telephone
Oilice-Miss Landpheer, Of Bellevue
was a niece of his. His brother
Charles Bywater, is very generally
known, and is employed in one of the
mines at Bullion.

of her loss by her sister-iulaw, Mrs
Huntington, Of Ketchum.

Ammonia Cheaper than Soap.

Ammonia is cheaper than soap and
cleans everything it touches. A lew
drops in kettle that is hard to clean
makes grease and sickness fade
away, and robs the work of all its
terrors. Let it stand ten minutes be.
fore attempting to scrape off and every
corner will be clean. 1t cleans the
sink and penetrates into the drainpipe.
Spots, finger marks on paint disappear
under it's magical il, huence, and it
is equally effective on floor, and oil
cloth, though it must be used with
great care on the latter or it will in.
jure the polish. There is nothing to
equal it in cleaning the silverware, and
it gives a higher polish and keeps clean
longer than anything else. If the sill
yer be only slightly furnished put two
tablespoonfuls of ammonia into a
quart of hot water, brush the furnished
article with it and dry with charnois.
II badly discoored, they may need
little whiting previous to the washing.
An old nail brush goes into the
cracks to polish and brighten. For
fine muslin or delicate lace 1t is in
valuable, as it cleans without rubbing
the finest fabrics. Put a few drops
into your sponge, battle IN hot wealth
er, and you will be astonished at the
result, as it imparts GOODNESS to the
skin. Use it to clean hair-brushes,
and to wash any hair or feathers to
be used for beds or pillows. When
employed in anything that is not es.
pecially soiled, use the waste water
alterward for the house plants that
are taken down from their usual po.
sition and immersed in the tub Of
water. Ammonia is a fertilizer, and
helps to keep healthy the plant it
nourishes. In every way, in fact, am
monia IS the hous-keerer's friend.
