Improved Method Of Blasting.

Mining and Scientific Press: In
shooting down holes in mine blast
ing, q substitute for tamping and q
modification Of the method of loading
that successful use has demonstrated
to be an improvement, consists in the
use of water. The hole after being
cleaned out thoroughly is filled with
water. The paper wrapping of the
powder sticks is removed and the pow
der is dumped into the water and sinks
through it to the bottom Of the hole.
The primer is put in and the paper
then is pushed through the water
till in contact with the powder.
So loading, the powder charge is
compacted in the bottom OF the hole,
the strongest part; and a charge
that loaded the ordinary dry way
would fill 20 inches depth of hole is
compacted into or 10. The water
does not seem to affect the explosive
power of the powder, and it's position
at the bottom of the hole adds to itf
power for breaking the rock.

THE PROSPECTING HABIT.

Salt Lake Herald: The fascination
which prospecting has for it's devotees
often excites the wonder of people
who have had no personal experience
with allurements Of searching for hid
den wealth in the mountains. Once
the prospecting habit gets good hold
OF man it usually sticks to him until
he is too feeble to follow mule up q
mountain trail, il, in the meantime,
he has not had the good fortune to
strike bonanza. Even then he is
liable TO sell out his claim for a mere
trifie before he realizes its richness,
and start after another. Starvation
often stares him in the face. He
sometimes escapes death from expos
ure and frost bites only by a miracle.
But neither hardships nor privations
can induce him 10 give up his chosen
calling.
The secret of this mysterious en-
chantment is revealed in brief dis
patch from Boise. Idaho, printed in
Wednesdays Herald. Three brothers
had just returned from the Thunder
Mountain District. bringing with them
from 81, 900 to 10000 in gold. This
comfortable cleanup was taken from
the ground in about eight days. The
men have for years been placer miners.
They may have picked up but little,
yet strike OF this sort was always be-
fore their eyes, and now that il has
come years of fruitless toll is repaid by
the returns of few days.
II is just such chances as this that
keeps the prospector ever hopeful, be
his discohragements and disappoint-
ments never so numerous. The same
which attaches to gam
bling fascinates the hunter of mines.
He knows that there are big odds
against him, but the stake is also big
one. He hazards a days work in the
hope of winning fortune. The days
pile up into years and the years often
become a lifetime without the capital
prize being struck. But there is al
ways the thought that it may only be
one day or one week distant, and he
keeps on putting up his labor for an
other turn OF the wheel. He has added
and still is adding untold wealth to his
country and 80 increases the chances
for prosperity OF you and every other
person in the land. When he makes
winning the whole country shares it
with him, and no one is the loser.

Even il the bicycle had been invented
100 years ago touring could hardly
have become very popular. at all events
for solitary cyclists. The old guide

The traveller approaching York is
directed by the guidebooks to turn

mills" and the road out to Durham
is between the gallows and Croke-
hill" Going out of Wells you 'cross
the brook and pass by the gallows."

WHERE PURE AIR Is POUND.


The chemical composition of the at
mosphere differs little, IL at alb

tbe surface of the sea the relation Of
oxygen to nitrogen and other con-
stituents 10 the same. says a scientific
authority. The favorable effects
therefore. of a change of air are not
to be explained by any difference m
the proportion of its gaseous con-
stituents. One important difference,
however, is the meteorological one.
The air of high attitudes contains no
microbes, and is, in fact, sterile, while
near the ground and some 100 feet
above IL microbes are abundant. In
the air of towns and crowded places
not only does the mScrobic impurity
increase, but other impurities. such
az the products of combustion OF
coal, accrue also. Several invesH-
oAtors have found traces of hydro
gen and certain hydrocarbons in the
air and especially in the air of pine,
oak aud birch forests. It is to these
-.
of essen tial oils, to which the curative
properties of certain health resorts
are ascnbed.
Thus the locality of FIR forest Is
said to give relief in diseases of the
respiratory tract. But. all the same.
these traces of essential oil and aro-
matte products must be counted,
strictly speaking, as impurities, since
they are not necessary constituents
of the air. As recent analyses have
shown, these bodies tend to disap-
pear in the air as a higher altitude
is reached, until they disappear alto

All this is due to better understand

because the ore has been found to
carry any larger values than it was
supposed to possess in former years.
"The low-grade deposits are not,
of course, worth anything to a poor
