Venezuela Isshes u blue Book on the
boundary Dispute.

WASHINGTON March 10.-A valua-
addition to the literature on the SUBJ
ject of the Venezuelan boundary con-
troverSy was made public here today
through the issue of an official history
of the discussion between Venezuela
and Great Britain on the Guiana
boundaries. This is part of the case
prepared by the Venezuela legation
for presentation to the United States
commission, which is at present deal
ing with the vexed boundary dispute.
AS its caption indicates, thois volume is
historical, and in no place does it ex-
hibit line of argument outside of the
diplomatic notes exchanged in the past.
Chronologically the volume covers
notes and correspondence as far back
as 1922, and the history is brought
down to include the celebrated Olney
note of last July. From a careful pc
rusal of the volume it cannot be
noted that any new matter has been
brought to light, and in fact this vol
ume taken in connection with the Brit
ish blue book on the same subject lust
issued, may be regarded as making up
ana setting out all Of the substantial
elements and facts upon which our
commission will be obliged to rely in
arriving at conclusion as to the
boundary line. One feature of the mast
correspondence which, if not new, has
not been brought to attention of the
pubic in detail recently, is the fact
that in 1894 an earnest effort was made
ny the pope at the instance of the pres
Ioent OF Venezuela to compose the Diff
ferences between Venezuela and Great
Britain. The details of the failure of
the project, being recited to the Vene-
zuelan by word Of mouth of the pana1
legate, are not set out in the CORE
spondence, but it is evident from the
book that the refusal of the British
government to entertain such overt1res
was firm and final.

Rhode Island was held here today with
a good attenance of delegates. The
proceedings were marked by no I'M
usual excitement, the denomination of
the present state officers having been
decided upon previously. There was
no opposition to the plan. Gen. Elisha
Dyer, of Providence, was elected chair
man. In the course of a brief address
on taking the chair, Mr.. Dyer said:
1.-THE Republican party of Rhode
Island has always been partial to the
state of Maine, and If this year the
choice of the party at large should
fall upon her most eminent statesman,
it would rest upon no broken Reed"
The platform declares for protec-
ton, and for "a financial policy which
recognizes every dollar to be Of equal
value;" for recognition of the services
of survivors of the civil war: and for
restriction of immigration. 1t also in
dorses "the recent acts of Republi-
can congress to increase the strength
and efficiency of the naval and mill
tary forces of the country"
The present incumbentS of the gen.
eral offices of the state were renomi-
mated by reclamation. They are: Gov
ernor. Charles Warren Lippitt; lieu
tenant governor, Edward r. Allen; Sec
rotary of state, Charles p. Bennett; at

There has been change in the own
ership Of the Minneapolis Base Ball
club. The details could not be Sc
cured last night, but it is known that
Clarence Saulspaugh, of Mankato, has
purchased large block of stock in the
association. Mr.. Saulspaugh, when seen
by the G b last night, was at first
inclined to evade questions. but he
finally admitted that he was one of the
owners Of the club. When asked
whose stock he purchased he said:
"Oh, just cut in and took a piece of
it,
When asked what his position would
be, Mr.. Saulspaugh said:
"Oh, I suppose shall be sort of an
assistant manager. I shall also be
treasurer"
Further than this Mr.. Saulspaugh
would not talk, but from his statement
that he is to be treasurer one might
infer that he had purchased Hal Wat
sons stock. Mr. Watson has been
treasurer up to the present time. The
three owners, John Goodnow, Marcus
p. Hayne and Mr.. Watson, had an
agreement not to sell stock to any one
else without first Offering it to the
triumvirate. Therefore, if Mr.. Sauls-
paugh has been taken in it is a mutual
agreement.

MINERS, METHODS.
They Have Made Rapid Progress In
the Last Half Century.

Helena MONTY Independent.
Few mining men in Montana are bet
ter known than is William Hall, of
Butte, who was for a long time the
superintendent Of the Alice mine, but
is now operating in British Columbia.
Mr.. Hall is an Englishman and a prac-
teal miner. He began in the mines of
the old country when he was q small
boy, and that was something less than
half a century ago. So there is little
about vein of ore that he does not
know, and there are only few things
about the work of developing and
treating the ore that others can give
him pointers on. Among his old-time
associates he is still Familiarity known
as "BilP All.
There is no profession in the world
that has made the rapid progress In
the last half century that mining has,

time on his way home from an expedi-
ton to British Columbia, and refer

urally in discussion of mining mat

thing as steel drill or a steel-faced
hammer. Safety fuse wasn't known
When 1 was yOungSter, and, as for
the rest of the improvements, why no
one would have believed you if you
had predicted the half of them
When the steel drills came out we
looked upon them with a reverence
that amounted to awe. The iron drills
that had been used up to that time
were dull things, and the hammers
were Of the same metal, so that when
a miner struck the drill with the ham

like the falling Of lead on lead. The
steel rung out as clear as a bell and
1t was real music to our ears. There
was a time when we made it a rule
to carry out piece Of cloth to lay the
drills on when they were not in use, but
that feeling gradually wore off, and in
time we came to throwing them around
just like any other tool. But it was
not all at once
Then came the safety fuse. 1t was
a wonderful stride, we thought, and
we were not prepared to believe that
science would ever go step further
We carried bits Of rags in our pock-
cts to wrap around it when we put
1t in the hole. But in the course of
time we learned that it, too, was made
to be useful, and that it would stand
as much tamping as a squib.
What is a Squib? In the olden times
we ran long needle made of Norway
iron down the hole when we tamped
in the charge. Then the needle was
drawn out, and in the hole was insert
ed a squib. 1t was made by splitting
straw and charging it with powder,
with bit of greasy rag on the end.
The straw was creased we'll and the
tallow was worked into the powder so
that 1t was one Of the most inf1amma-
bic things that you could imagine.
The miner would light the end and
run. When the fire came to the squib

WONDERS OF ROENTGEN RAYS.
Important Developments by Euro
pean Scientists.


WASHINGTON, March 1O-United
States Consul General Dekay, at Ber-
lin, has submitted to the state depart
ment interesting reports on later de-
velopments of the x rays, accompa-
MED by a pamphlet, in which Prof
Roentgen, the discoverer, explains his
researches. The consul general gives
many important facts that have been
discovered by European eXperimenters
in regard to the rays which are I'M
known in this country. For instance
he reports that they have been used
to detect false pearls, after an ex-
posture of forty-five minutes, and an
Austrian professor has discovered that
they can also be used to detect false
diamonds. A Berliner has made a
special Photographic paper for the di-
rect reception of the rays. In conse-
quence, it is now unnecessary to make
negative, and so the reserved i'm
preston obvious to the negative is
avoided Moreover, many pictures may
be taken at once in this manner by
using packet of the sensitized pa
per, since the rays penetrated all the
layers. Rector Brender in Spies has
succeeded in passing the rays through
brass counter, the resulting photo
graph showing the inscription on one
side and bird in relief on the other.
New methods of work have been
brought to light. The length of ex-
posture can be reduced from one hour
to few minutes. The heavy charges
of electricity which destroyed so many
