Tamping and Ramming Boreholes.

An innovation in mining work is AN
invention for tamping and ramming
boreholes. The hole itself is made of
smaller diameter at the inner end
where the cartridge is placed. A small
wood disk rests against the shoulder
made by the smaller hole and protects
the cartridge. The tamping consists of
blocks of compressed clay, which are
broken up in the hole by tho hammer.
The disk, blocks and hammer head are
all perforated SO that they can be thread
ed on to the fuse wires. Clay blocks
are made at very cheap rate By SIM
pie machine, and by their use uniform
ity in the tamping material is secured.

l. 4. sected rs he carefully crept away.
l. was not enough that the renegades had
rome for the gold, but they were plot
ling against the wagon train and would
uor stop at murder. 1t was clearly his
dr.vy to reach the train as soon as posi-
he cnd warn his companions Of the pres
e,ce and designs of these intruders.
Darkness had come on, but he knew the
general direction of camp and hoped to
be able to reach it some time during the
night.
But what Of the prisoner? Under the
circumstances not more than one man
in thousand would have done more
than to wish that he could help her.
Harkins was that one man He had
been strangely drawn to her, and her
situation aroused al his sympathies.
He determined to attempt her rescue,
even at the peril Of his life. He drew
away from the mass of rock, strapped
his rife to his back, and then crept over
the rough ground on hands and knees
moving to flank the party on the right
It was d rough and dangerous route
leading over great masses Of rock, under
thick pines and across seams orrifts, but
he moved with care until well in the
rear Of the camp.
Then his route was down the side Of
the mountain until all at once he came
upon the wagon. It had been pulled up
out of the valley to be hidden 10y the
trees. The horses he could not see, they
having been lariated out at some spot
where there was grazing.
Looking up at the campfire from the
wagon the Englishman could see the
four rencgades playing cards by the
blaze. Between him and them was the
girl. He hesitated only long enough to
get his bearings and then began creep
ing upward He felt now that more de-
pended on the girl than himself. If she
was asleep she might scream out as he
aroused her. If she saw him come
creeping up she might take him for an
Indian and alarm her captors. Even
should all go right up to that moment
would she have the nerve and strength
to creep away with him?
Half way to the fire the brave Eng
lishman halted to canvass the chances
with himself. He realized Che hazards,
but after a couple of minutes he contin-
ued on his way. BY and by, as he ele-
waited his head above q bowlder, he saw
the girl before him and not five feet
away. She was sitting upright and had
her face turned toward him.
Harkins lifted his right hand as n sig
nal.
The girl lifted q haad in answer.

hand, which told him that she was tied

BIG STEAMEROyERDUE
La Gascogne Should Have Arrived Four
Days Ago.

Days Ago.
NEW YORK, Feb. mo news has been
received of the French line steamer La
Gascogne, Capt Baudelon, from Havre.
She is now nearly four days overdue.
The White Star liner Teutonic. from
Liverpool, has not yet been sighted She
is over day overdue.
The marine underwriters begin to
show excitement in connection with the
delay of the La Gascogne. Early in the
day the rate on the steamships cargo be-
gan to crawl upward.
The value of the LaGascogne's cargo
is between $30O,000 and 100000, and
it consists principally of hides, wines, dry
goods and fancy groceries.
Among the passengers on the LaGas-
cogne is Edward w. Mix, one of the Paris
representatives. of the Thomson Houston
Electric company; NJ. Joaquin, New
York dry goods importer; M. Jacquet, a
Chicago wine merchant; and NJ. Mata-
grin, Partisan glove dealer.
1t is the general belief among steam
ship people that some part of the Gas
cogne's machinery has broken down and
that she is proceeding slowly toward
port; having only two masts she could
not spread any great quantity of canvas.

WHEN CHINA is WHIPPED.
Then the "Powers" Will Take a Hand in
the Settlement.

the Settlement.
LONDON, Feb. "A dispatch to the
Times from Paris says that some of the
Russian ENJOYS has received instructions
as to the attitude which Russia, Eng
land and France and through Russia's
Intervention the United States, intend to
take on the question raised by the war be-
tween China and Japan. According to the
Times correspondent it has been decided
that the eventful Intervention of these
powers at the proper moment shall be
absolutely disinterrupted. China will be
asked in her own interests as well as in
those of the civilized world to open her
ports, seeing that the present system has
led to China's powerlessness and ruin.
The powers will wait until China ad-
mits herself vanquished and sincerely
negotiates for peace. 1t will then be
pointed out to Japan that Europe cannot
allow her to annex an inch of the Chinese
mainland. But the same impossibitity
does not exist IN regard to other annexa-
tions which will be open to discussion.
There will be no Intervention concern
ing vessels, arms and other booty. nor as
to the war indemnity. This question
must be settled between the com batants
No objection will be raised to Japan re-
tanning certain positions as pledges of
payment. But no commercial stipula-
tions to the disadvantage of the powers
will be permitted.
The whole world is to profit by any
opening of ports, or liberty to penetrate
into the interior of China. Finally the
powers will insist that the Chinese cur
rency in future is to be on the European
system. in order to facilitate the new
foreign loan to which China will be
