THE NEW NITRO POWDER.

All Blasting Work.

A LEGAL Invention Promises to Change
All Blasting Work.
To San Francisco belongs the credit of Civ
ing to the wcrl Id one Of the most important
discoveries IN connection with the manulac-
ture of nitro blasting powder ever made,
and two young residents of this city. Eric
Stark and q. Laying are the successful in
ventors and discoveries. Hitherto all the
nitro powders in use Immediately after
being expl Oded in mine gave off such
deadly fumes that not only have men been
frequently Oyerrowered and suffocated, but
In every case they have always had to knock
on work for several hours in order to allow
the tunes To escape, and even then all the
men have suffered from nauseating and Sc
we're headaches. rendering them unfit for
work. SO much so. indeed. and so greatly
do the miners dread the results of the nitro
powder hitherto In general use that they
prefer TO use the old-fsshioned black powder
which is less powerful.
Now these two young scientists have sue
ceeded IN lnventing q smokeless powder
which is 40 TO 60 per cent stronger in its eff
fects than any other nitro powder hitherto
manufactured. No fumes whatever arise
therefrom, aud experiments have been
successfully made in the Idaho mine, Grass
Valley, in the mines adjacent To Nevada
City, Anaconda, Mont, and other places.
and the invention promises to supersede
any other nitro powder used in mines all
over the world

A CONTEST FILED.
E1-Judge Hastings Seeking to Upset the
Will of His Son.

Will of His Son.
Ex-Judge S. c. Hastings, who endowed
the law school which bears his name, seems
determined that the prospective second
husband Of his sons widow shall not have
the enjoyment Of the sons estate if he can
do anything TO prevent it. That contest
of the viii would be in order has long been
known, and the facts of the controversy
have on several occasions been entered into
by the new spapers. The contest has COM
meneed, aud the petition for the revocation
OF the probate Of the will was filed yester-
day afternoon by him in behalf OF his grand
children, Elizabeth Parker aud Henry c.
Hastings. LII short the contest attacks the
validity Of the pretended will of Robert Il.
Hastings, and charges that for some years
pri1r and at the time of making the will he
was completely under the control and
domination Of Mary c. Hastings and con-
tinued in that state of mind when he made
the will in May, 1884, with her as the sole
devisee, and isiuherited the children.
