COST OF LIGHT MUCH REDUCED
WeIsbnch Invention Hurts Electric
and Gas Companies.

Chicago, May 1.-THE announcement
today at q private exhibition that the
now famous Welsbach light can be ap-
piled to student and other lamps in which
gasoline is used for fuel, and that pat
ents have been issued for this improve
ment on the Welsbach invention, is re-
garded as another telling blow at the
electric light, if not the gas, trusts, and as
especially calculated to send electric
light stocks still further a-kiting. At the
exhibition today it was demonstrated that
by the adoption of the Welsbach hydro
carbon incandescent light to an ordinary
student lamp one pint Of gasoline would
give a light equal to 70 candle power for
a minimum period Of eight hours This,
1t is claimed. reduces the cost Of light
to a minimum never before reached and
which is practically nominal.

DYNAM|TERS AT WORK
BLEW III THE F!.tME, At THE
BUNKER HILL AND SULLIVAN.
Mill and Applied IA Torch when
Men Were Lnnching

Wardner, Idaho, May n.-An attempt
was made last night to burn the Bunke,
Hill and Sullivan Concentrator. The Per
petrators Of Tic outrage may have in
tended also to blow up the conecntrd oI
with dynamite. About n:30, while the
millmen were at the boarding house tax
ing their midnight lunch, Il terrible ex-
plosion was heard. SO heavy as to shake
the houses in kellogg, three-quarters OF
a mile away. 1t was found that about V
feet of the companys water fIume which
furnishes power Tor the mill and electric
light plant, had been blown out at a
point about 80 rods from the mill. JUS
about this time it was discovered thUy
the north end of the mill, next to the
railroad track, was Oh fire, but as the
flames had not gotten under headwaS
they were soon smothered. The parties
who started the fire had climbed up ii
ladder and poured several cans Of OF.
on the building and on a box on tn
ground. 1t is supposed that il was the
intention of the tireDugs 10 put dynamite
in the tiume With a slow fuse attached
some distance from the mill, with the
intention that it should explode close &
the mill while all hands were at lunch
This would cut off the water supply 3no
the electric lights, and as the men al
lunch would be attracted by the explo
sion it would be some time before til,
fire would be discovered. Fortunately ont
of the mill men takes his lunch wit
him and was eating it in the back en0
OF the mill and noticed the flames bef0rt
they had done much damage ana gavt
the alarm.
There is no clue to the perpetrators ot
the deed. MI. Yarbaugh who lives jus
below the mill, was awakened by th5
explosion and when he went to the doo
he saw a man running down the track
Another man was seen running up TIL
track just before the explosion. Men wer,
put at work repairing the flume today anu
1t will probably be running tonight.

". L. Culbertson, manager Of the Tiger
Poorman company a Burke, came dow
from that place last night. The attemp
to blow up the MILL he said, was a fail
ure owing to the perpetrators having
made miscalculation in timing the fusa
The tiume is an open one, a mile and "a
half in length They put the powder H.
the tlume some distance above the mill
calculating that the fuse would set it oil
about the time it struck the mill. In
stead, the fuse went off about 1Q0 fee
above the mill, tearing away about
feet of the tlume and doing no other dam
age. Had the fuse not gone eff till tn
powder reached the mill it would no douk
have blown the mill to pieces. The mi
was Shut down today While repairs ar,
being made. The fume was almost re
paired when we came along and they
expected to be ready to start up again ths
evening""
There has been no recent trouble b.
tween the Bunker Hill ana Sullivan com.

months. The company does not recognil
