 Bowers says this ms1hoa is successful
 only aS to the ants that ~aJ il, but Jha
 number ia 90 small ii comparison ] with the whole number Of the pests
 that the method is practically use | less. Beside it doesn't interfer@ with | the propagation of another set of ants. | A1r Bowers was once employed at the | asylum as an attendart when the ant l question was under consideration.
 The shortcomings of the tomato can i process had been discovered and AIr 1 Bowers was about to employ another | pan. when sudden charge of ad-
 mfnistratiOn occurred and thousands | of ants Were spared. He has since
 depopulated many an ant hole by
 means of it. He bores q small hole
 with crOwbor on each side of the
 amr hole and puts in table spoonful
 Of bisulphide of carbon. He covsrs
 this with dirt thoroughly tamped The | fumes of the destroying drug thus perlneate the earth in the vicinity of the nest and alI the insects as weN as
 eggs are destroyed.
 A GIANT BOMB was an
 explosion of a gigantic bomb last night near the corner of Washington and Center streets. which shook the earth perceplibly for blocks around
 An upper front window of the Keefer drug store opposite the place of the explosion, was shattered. This was probably the result of concussion. al though fragments of the bomb were lying on the sidewalk under the win dow leading some to believe that the bomb had struck the window The pieces denoted that the bomb was lC- cally made, and that the ex- plosive was nitro-glycerine. This is the second window which was broken by the explosion Of a bomb yesterday, and the first one was clearly the re- suit of concussion. The last bomb ex- ploded was the size of ten ordinary bombs. While it was in the street ready to explode at any second, two or three people passed it, and when the explosion occurred one of them had just passed /it few yards. A street car travelng slowly came up within a few feet of the bomb when it burst. The forward trucks Of the car were thrown off the ground and the car was almost deIaled. The speed of the. car was greatly checked and 8 few window panes were broken. !
 4 MINING DEAL-R. J. Holmes of ! Kirkland was in town yesterday He recently sold his mine. the Monarch, i about two miles northwest eff Fishers { mill in Peoples valley, to A w Fish ] CT, for S20 GOO. The deal was practi- ] cally cash. The property has been i well and although the ledge ! is small it runs a good grade of ore i which is easily miEed. 4 te1-staInp ! min IS on the property Mr Holmes , has other claims closer to Kirkland i which hme will develop from the pro- csads of the Monarch, and ha believes . them to be even more valuable than the mine just sold. He says the f Monarch could nct be bought now for twice the sum he received. His Cthsr ] bear larger and more prom inent veins Nclr them are other owned by other people and all recent discoveries. .Ar Holmes says that the prc-pect Of Jack Owen will in his Cpini1n develcQ ilto a large mine. IL $ only 3 prospect, but the immSnSe V5il. nins,y feet il cross section at the mouth Of the shaft, shows signs Of continuity as the de- velOpment progresses. The as5ly re turns on this ledge show an average of 516 in gold. The veins as far as ex- pIored runs free milling ore On all the properties in that section the gold ore veins arg large. One on MT. Holmes prospect measures ffty-two feet at the mouth of the shaft. MT. Holmes is confident that tEat section will be heard from on a large scale soon. He believes that ultimately gccd camp will be established, and at east he is willing to invest his money Il an attempt.
