Inventors have been busy lately in
the endeayor to discover a safer and
cheaper explosive than gunpowder for
the blasting of coal. Some interesting
experiments were recently carried out
at Southport. to determine the relative
strength and efficacy of a new ex-
plosive. The conditions of test in each
case were the same, ten grammes OF
the explosive being used. This was
placed in a steel mortar loaded with a
projectile weighing thirty-five pounds.
All shots were fired at an angle of thir-
ty-five degrees, with the following re-
suit. Gunpowder threw the projectile
fifty-one yards, kynite lightweight and
one-half yards. benedite, as the new
powder is called, 155 yards, and dyna-
mite 1914 yards. Benedite contains no
nitro-glycerine, and it was also sub
Jected TO severe tests as regards hand
ling. Unlike dynamite and explosives
generally, benedite could not be ex-
ploded by either blow from a ham,
mer or direct application of fame, an
advantage which assures perfect safe
ty in the use and handling of the ex-
plosive. 1t can only be exploded by
| means of a detonator. For safety
blasting in coal mines series of trials
have shown that when 1t is exploded
in the presence of highly in1ammable
mixtures of pit gas and coal dust, 1t
would not ignite them. 1t is further
claimed for the new safety explosive
| that its cost of production is much be-
| low that of powerful explosives gener-
ally, and it is to be put on the market
| at considerably lower price.

WIN Prospect In aierico.

A limited number of South Side busi.
ness men. firmly believing that gold
mining in Mexico is likely to prove
more profitable and less hazardous
than searching for the precious metal
in the Klondike region, have formed
the Yaqui Gold Mining Company Of st.
Louis Sufficient capital has been sub
scribed to undertake operations in a
practical way. AS yet the company
owns no claims, but proposes to make
locations at the earliest possible time.
As a preliminary it was decided to
send out a prospecting party to explore
the Yaqui river region. in which it Ia
believed, there are rich gold placers.
The prospectors are William @.
Vaughn, George LANCER and Charles
kuhnert. Vaughn is an old govern
ment scout, having served under Gen.
eral Miles on the Mexican border, and
is an experienced prospector- LANCER
is an old Mexican prospector, and q
practical assayer and metallurgist.
kuhnert is also an experienced pros
pector and railroad man. The party
leaves tonight for Guaymas, state OF
Sonora, Mexico. With burros they
will pack" up the Yaqui river, explor-
! ing that stream and its tributaries.
About year will be spent prospect
ing until good claims can be located
and arrangements made TO work them.
Mr.. Vaughn. and his companions have
procured portion of their outfit here,
and will buy the remainder, animals,
provisions, etc, at Guaymas. In addi-
ton the prospectors have letters of in

Mining Notes.

The low grade gold ores of the Mol.
lie Gibson and Argentum-Juniata mines
at Aspen are to be treated at the old
Holden lixiviation mill, which is now
being overhauled for that purpose.
The old Idaho mine at Caribou, which
was abandoned years ago on account
of too much water, and which was
again abandoned by tunnel company
after having driven 700 feet, will be
operated soon by local company. The
vein is twelve feet wide, and the ore
secured in the olden time was high
grade. A force of seven men is now at
work, and the number will be in
creased.
At the Grant Brothers mine on the
North Fork of the John Day river, Ore
gon, one of the giants got loose and be-
gan throwing an eight-inch stream in
circles. b. 4. Grant ran to stop the ma
chine and was hurled aside like pa
per. A miner named Berry was struck
by the stream and had his arm broken
in two places. A boy sitting on boul-
der 100 feet distant. was thrown ten
feet in the air and was badly injured.
Six men were thrown against the bank
and were badly bruised and cut, and an
other man had his shoulder dislocated.

now that the cooler weather has set in
there is a general movement for the
mines out on the desert, and more pros
pectors are out than ever before. Vir-
ginia Dale will be one of the scenes OF
| activity, and a great number of wag-
ons are pushing out supplies. At
Randsburg work goes steadily on and
many improvements are being made.
The May Queen at Randsburg has been
sold for $1,000 cash. and the Mentor

Gold Mining in the south.

There is more activity in southern
gold properties than has been known
since the days of the first discoveries.
DEVELOPMENT work has been pushed all
over the field for six months, and many
a property has been shown up in splen-
did shape. Georgia, North Carolina
and Alabama have been the scene of
the greatest activity. although South
Carolina and Virginia have not been
neglected by any means.
Rich ore has been struck in Lump
kin. White, Gilmer and Cherokee. New
mills have been put up in several
counties. Negotiations are on for a
number of mines over the state. Some
are preparing for incorporation and
there is evidence of Investment in good
properties by home people, although
the northern and western capitalists
are showing more money
The old mines are being reopened in
White. and one new property is being
onened up. The McCluskey, In Hall,
has new mill with ten stamps. A
fiye-stamp mill is about to be put on
the Big Job, in the same county. A
cyanide plant has been put in at the
Merks. and development is going
ahead steadily ON the Gold Hill mine
the same county. A tunnel is being
driven on this porperty to cut the
strike all the way across. One four
foot vein was cut within thirty feet
of the mouth of the tunnel, and in six
ty days more the tunnel should cut the
veins encountered in the shaft 100 fee

The Skies and the Cherokee, in Cher
