Profits I'm Oil.

There is no occasion to marvel
at the growth and wealth of the
Standard Oil monopoly. Accord
ing to the sworn statement of the
company's officials now in the
hands of the attorney general of
Ohio, the total cost of barrel of
refined oil, including the crude ma
terial and all the expense of refine
ment, is 20 cents, or two fifths of
cent a gallon. This leads the Den
yer Post to comment as follows:
"From this it would appear that
some one is making an outrageous
profit by charging the consumer 20
cents a gallon for an article which
costs but two-ffths of a cent to
manufacture. " it'll each gallon
the consumer pays for the manu-
facture of barrel. The oil could
be produced and delivered at two
cents a gallon in any part of the
United States, and il sold at five
cents gallon would bring an inn
mense profit.
"But the oil trust does not want
want conditions that way. In max
ing a price it goes to the limit. 1t
has discovered by actual trial that
people can be made to pay 20 cents
for that which costs two-fifths of a
cent to produce, and therefore 90
cents gallon is the selling price,
and no retailer is permitted to sell
for less, on penalty of having his
supply cut off. No matter how
lavish nature is with her gifts to
man, she can't prevent the trusts
from cornering nine-tenths of his
earthly blessings.

Piute Wedding.

Piute society circles are in fut-
ter of delight over the marriage of a
pair of very popular members of
their tribe. Uhe groom is Chief
Chew-to- Back, alias Fish Lake Joe,
the Medicine Man. He is well
known to the pale faces for a dis
lance of twenty miles. His noctur-
nal yelling over his unfortunate
patients is not unlike the yelping of
pack of hungry coyotes. His
awful voice has brought upon his
head the anathemas of slumber
broken people.
The bride, Miss Min-nie-h a- ha- ha !
Eat Um-Bug is the lovely daughter
of Chief Lousy Pete, and is the ac-
knowledged belle of the tribe. She
is an expert washer of dirty clothes
(other peoples), and can carry a
big load on her head, All the Pi
ute Bucks are envious of Joe's good
luck.
The happy couple will spend the
honeymoon in Hawthorne and in
the Spring Joe says his wife will go
to Keller to shovel soda and he will
go to the Reservation for a rest.

Miners Should Know.

When the temperature falls to
about AZ degrees Fahrenheit, and
nitroglycerine powders in the form
of giant powder, dynamite, dualin,
etc, are liable to freeze and become
hard, if used in this condition, be-
comes inactive; therefore it is nee
essary to resort to the thawing out
process by increasing the heat. If
this is done by the radiation of
warm air in front of an open fire, it
has the effect of causing the nitro
glycerine in the cartridge to collect
on the surface of the paper covering
and if the heat is allowed to be ex-
cessive, to collect drops, which when
over-heated, either take fire or ex-
plode. Every mine manager ought
to prohibit this manner of thawing
powder. The proper and safe way
of thawing powder is to have bot
tie of hotwater outside of an inside
and smaller kettle, on the plan of
carpenters glue pot or a farina bot
tie, with tight, closing covers, and
place the powder in the inside of it
having first placed dry sawdust, or
infusorial earth, or fine, dry salt
in the bottom of it, to absorb all
oil from the cartridges. This should
never be placed on the fire, but fill
ed with hot water and protected so
as to retain the heat as long as
possible and to avoid having to
empty it and refill it too often. The
habit of thawing powder in aack
on top of a boiler. or in a black
smith shop or mine Office, is Gus
tom, which is fruitful of accidents
to life and great cause of fire
Placing the powder in hot water OF
in steam is equally dangerous, as i,
is sure to cause the oil to exude
Many of the powder companies sci
proper thawing boxes or kettles
made of zinc, and recommend theil
use to consumers, 80 that there il
I no excuse for the mine manager or
owner, who does not provide such
an appliance and see that it is used
