different values bearing dates from
1864 to 1863, receipted bills from and
to prominent business men, some
of whom are still in business ia other
localities. One boy received 80 cents
for giving up receipted bill from
w. S. Mccormick to Joe Evans for IS
feet of lumber which cost $3.50, or
20 cts per foot. Mccormick is now
banker in Salt Lake City and Evans

LIFE ON DYNAMITE BOATS.
NOnehalance Of the Men Employed on
the Graft.

h-NEW AHth LD5t-J
Sleeping, eating, cooking. living day and
night over enough stick dynamite TO blow
q good-sized building to flinders may not
seem a very attractive mode Of life, yet fl
is enjoyed, apparently, by the crews of
the powder Boats that are anchored off
the Jersey flats. Among watermen. in
fact employment on one Of the powder
boats is regarded as a soft lob" The
work is not hard and a man has com
parat1Vely easy hours. And as for nerves
well, the powder crews don't have
nerves. They are careful.
The powder fleet comprises half d dozen
boats OF various descriptions an old rev.
enue cutter, slOOp and several barges.
Some Of the boats are built of iron. 9th
erS or wood, and they were seaWOrthy
vessels once on time. Now they arc
aalchored IN shallow water, and at low
tide they rest on the mud. When there
is heavy sea on the boats roll and pitch
somewhat. but the idea that the dynamite
may be shaken up does not trouble the
crews
The dynamite stored I'm the powder fleet
IS simply the reserve for use in this city
Much dynamite is exported from New
York, but IL is taken directly 10 the
steamships, Only freighters with maya
zines carry cargoes OF dynamite and high
explosives. 1t is forbidden By Information

cargoeS- After a vessel has been loaded
at her dock with her nOn-explosfve cargo
she is anchored off Gravesend bay. where
her load Of dynamite is taken from a tug
and stored away I'm her magazine.
Most OF the dynamite used hereabOuts
is made at factories in the RamapO noun
tains,- and Just enough to supply<the i'm
mediate demand is stored i'm the powder
fleet. The powder boats are anchored
about two miles from shore. and their
stores are received from tugs that run up
alongside Of them The sticks are packed
in sawdust in wooden boxes, and the
process Of loading a powder boat consists
simply in passing the boxes from one man
TO another from the tug down into the
hold OF the powder boat

Murray of Butte Gets Best Copper
Prospect.
Pocatello, Ida, June 1S.-The day aft
er the opening Of the Fort Hall reser-
walton has been notably quiet. AS re-
ports came in this morning it became
evident that the "sOOners' had secured
both the best lands and the most prom

land entries and mineral locations.
Details We're received this morning
Of the great race for the Belle Marsh
copper mine. believed to be the best
prospect on the reservation. There
were more than 100 after it. Senator
Clark of Montana had party in the
race, and so had James A. Murray, the
Butte millionaire, as well as DR.. Du-
bOis. a brother of Senator Dubois of
Idaho. The Clark men got to the mine
first but found some of the Murray
men in possession and were driven off.
The Clark men will contest.
Reports today indicate that the
opening was accomplished without ViO-
Ience and with no accident worse than
a broken arm sustained by one man
who was thrown from his horse.
