Explosion of Carbide.

Last week Earl Jones, a

Wash, was painfully and per.
haps seriously injured by an
explosion of carbide. The boy
found a can, in which was
some carbide, such as is used
in making acetylene gas, and
poured some water into it. 1t
formed a gas and then the boy
lighted a match and held his
face over the can, which had a
small hole in the top, while he
pushed the lighted match
through the hole. The result
was an explosion which burn.
ed the child's face painfully

BIG BUFFALO DEAL.
Major Wood Satisfied 1t Will
Go Through.
Boise Statesman, Nov. 2.

Boise Statesman, Nova
Major J. r. Wood; who has
the Big Buffalo mine at Buffa-
10 Hump under bond for $ $780,
900, spent day in Boise on
his way from north Idaho to
Chicago, to which place he is
going to meet those who are
interested with him in the
deal.
Major Wood stated while
he was here that he was salts
tied the deal would go through
He had succeeded in getting
the factions that have been
warning over the Big Buffalo
together so there was no fear
of buying a law suit. He was
very favorably impressed with
the property and he believed
his people would buy it.
Major Wood is associated
in the mining business with
Governor Tanner of Illinois,
President Gates of the Illinois
Steel company and the presi-
dent of the wire syndicate.
These gentlemen some time
ago secured control of proper.
ties at Warren, including the
lola. Major Wood brought
with him the lola output for
the short summer run-5I2
ounces of gold worth $40 an
ounce, or $Sro2.
1t is the belief of Major
Wood that Buffalo Hump is
going to be one of the big
mining camps of the west.
He is going back there in the
spring, and if his plans do not
miscarry he will begin some
very extensive operations.

LITTLE GIANT IS A BIG CLAN I
George Riebold, One Of the Chief Own
ers Of This Property Tells OF
Its Development.

Geo. Riebold, the mining
man from Warrens, arrived in
the city from that place
this, Thursday morning. Mr..
Riebold is operating the Little
Giant mine at Warrens, the
firm name being Riebold &
Schieler. Incidentally,it would
be well to mention that the
plant on this property is the
only power rock drill plant in
the county. TO a PRESS re-
porter Mr.. Ricbold said: 1--WE
have now reached a depth of
900 feet, which makes our
fourth level, inclusive of the
tunnel, and we have a tele.
phone located at the fourth
level pump station, which con.
meets with our dwelling and
also postotfice in town.
awe are drifting west with
a power drill, making about
four feet per diem, through ex-
tremely hard rock and follow
ing the vein. We are al
feet now west from the shaft,
and have been running through
ore all the way, but what we
deem our richest ore is still
further west and it is to that
destination that we are max
ing, in fact it is the ore, SINH
lar to that which we sent to
the Worlds Columbian EX-
position, and which took the
prize there. The vein where
we are at present working is
nine inches in width and con-
tains some of the rich black
ore, which carries such won
derfully high values in gold
and silver. We get returns
from this vein of about 500
per ton and these values con.
tinuc right along the vein, but
this is only a general average,
for we can get wonderful as.
says from picked and selected
samples. What we are pre-
pairing to do is to get this big
rich chute of high grade ore,
which we are confident exists
at short distance west, as we
have always encountered it OIL
the upper levels and then as it
carries besides the gold values,
very high values in silver, we
intend to reopen the silver
plant in the early spring and
operate it right through. We
can then handle our concen
trates, of which we have about
$4,000 on the dump, at the
present rate of silver"
Mr.. Riebold is in the city
after more machinery and doe.
not know how long he will re
main, but he will remain any
way until the machinery ar
rives. Mr.. Riebold is one 0

TWO MORE GOOD STRIKES


LARGE Body Of Ore Opened in Hitherto
Worthless Territory.
The recent discovery of a
large body of ore in a section
of Newsome district which has.
always been considered non
mineral bearing adds to the
rich district a large territory
and widens the mineral belt
more than a mile. The terri.
tory referred to lies east and
south of the Iron Crown and
Gold Crown Co.'s ground, d.
rectlv across Bear creek.
Some two years ago Henry
Pope. ]. H. Wilds, Walter
Saunders and Fred Gmith To-
Gated claim called the Mas
colt, and started a drift into
the hill. Last year when they
quit work they had driven 40
feet and had not encountered
anything encouraging. Be.
lieving that the territory was
good they decided this year to
continue the drift into the
hill. After driving about 10
feet they struck a vein that
Law almost horizontal, and de.
cided to make an upraise and
cross.cut it in that manner.
After they had put off the first
round of shots they were graf
fled to find that the vein mat.
ter was highly mineralized and
in panning, numerous colors
were obtained, giving them
encouragement to continue.
The other day they completed
their work and have a body OF
IL feet of gold ore exposed. A
sample across the vein gives
$12.57 per ton and the boys
now only hit the high places
when they come down to New
, some.
About one mile below New
some, at the mouth of Bear
creek, w. B. Houston and as
sociates have made a rich dis
covery. They have opened a
foot vein that promises to be
a wonder. In some of the rock
; gold is visible to the eye ane
the panning tests show tha
,, the whole ledge carries pay
values. The lead is very &C
