Recent Accidents.

The year 1902 which is happily near
ing its close, has been year of more
than the usual quota of accidents, both
on the land, and cn the sea. 1t has not
been any worse in the mines than in
other industries, but we hear of more
accidents recently than is comfortable
for sympathetic person to either listen
to or relate. In reviewing the accidents
even for December, which has befallen
a few in which Custer people will feel
an interest we have these:
First comes the memory of that grand
young man, Horace Ross, who lost his
life by falling down the Puma shaft.
Then came the news that Ed. Campbell,
one of the old time boys of Custer, lad
lost an arm and an eye by premature
blast while working in the iron mines
at Hartville, Wyoming. This occurred
about three weeks ago. Then came the
report of the two men injured while at
work at the Blue Lead, of which we
make mention In another part of this
paper. Next we hear that Theodore
Breeze, while at work in the smelter at
Rapid City got caught in the machinery
and had his arm pulled from the socket,
and his life despaired of. We are tired
of hearing of these things. They occur
all TOO frequently. We have to make
mention of them in the paper, but it is
very depressing to our spirits and we
long for the advent 1903, when per.
chance we may enter upon an era of
happier circumstances and better days.

Thawinx out Giant Powder.

Report came from Hill City Monday.
December 22nd, that Tom Blair and
John Peck (Tex) while working at the
Blue Lead met with an accident by
which Blair lost one arm, and Peck
would loose one eye. Communication
by telephone on the morning ofthe 25th
modify the seriousness of the mishap
considerably. We are gratifed now to.
learn neither are very much hurt and
neither will loose an eye or an arm.
The accident occurred while thawing
out giant powder, allowing it to become
30 hot that it exploded upon being
touched. They were both knocked
down by the conclusion and their face
and hands were peppered by the fine
fragments OF dirt and rock, and both
will soon be able to resume work. 1t is
not good plan to thaw giant by an
open fire. 1t is very dangerous, and
more accidents occur in the winter
among prospectors from this cause than
most any other. 1t is not much trouble
to arrange device on the principle of o
carpenters glue pot, it is always safe
and handy. Take small kettle with q
cover and put it into a larger kettle
without cover. Fill the outside kettle
half full of water and put the powder
in the inside kettle. Put the kettle over
slow fire 80 that the water is kept
warm. There are several devices gotten
up for this purpose and some are patent
ed. but the carpenters glue pot is safe
and reliable and something on that
principle should be used. 1t must be
understood. however, that the inside
Kettle must not be allowed to touch the
bottom of the outside kettle. Some
small pieces of rock under the small
kettle, to keep it of the bottom, will al
low the water to circulate under and all
around the small kettle. In this way
giant powder may be thawed and kept
in good condition for use in freezing
weather, and many serious accidents
may be avoided.

Passenger Tram IN O Bllszard.

According to reports, fifty passengers
on Burlington train No. 302, which left
Denver for Deadwood on Friday of last
week, were unfortunately close to death
for twenty hours. They were rescued
by gang of snow shovelers about fif-
teen miles south of Sidney, Nebraska.
The train met a raging storm near Sterl-
ing Colorado, but as most of the passen.
gers were homeward bound for Christ
mas, it was decided to push on il posi-
BILE. Near Mercer the train was stuck in
huge drift, and in short time ran out
of coal. The terrific gale which was
blowing whirled the snow in blinding
clouds, and it was only few hours un
til the train was entirely buried. The
engine crew soon abandoned the loco
motive and crawlsd back to where they
could at least be out of the wind. There
were but few pounds of coal in the cars,
and there was neither food nor water
aboard in any quantity. After several
hours the passengers were in panic
stricken condition. Women were weep
ing hysterically, and even the men were
seriously studying the possibilities of a
slow death by freezing. A brakeman
at length volunteered to try and reach
assistance. With shovel from the To-
comotive he dug his way out of a drift.
and then for eighteen hours the passen-
gers waited, alternately hoping and dis.
pairing. The brakeman managed to
reach Sidney and relief party of fifty
shovelers started for the snow bound
train. After they reached the spot II
required ten hours of hard work to re-
lease the train. Several of the passen'
gers were in condition Of physical COL
lapse, but it is thought no serious conse'
quences will follow,

How Gold is Lost.

Below We copy an extract from an ar
ticle ia the Boston Mining Bureau OF
December 13. This coroboratss what
we have been saying all along that Our
assayers do not take sufficient pains to
safe guard their charges from yolatiliza-
tion. That the subject has not received
the attention which is 30 imperatively
demanded We have long since been
aware. Particularly In this district
where our gold is in most cases combin-
ed with bismutk and tellurium, the
question of volatilization should be most
carefully studied. These remarks by an
old metallurgist who is master Of the art
should be an eye opener to our assayers
all over the country, and show them
how important it is that this
matter of the application of their
heat should Be observed. We shall
speak of this in q moro extended man.

in passing that in cupeilation as usually
practiced temperature of oyer 1900 de-
grees +. is employed:
"The process ofthoroughly and econo-
mically separating the precious metals
from the baser substances only few
people seem to comprehend. Both the
science and art must be perfect. Any
deviation from the scientific principles
or any carelessness in the application oi
the assayers' art will cause injury and
loss to the owners of the ores. Take
gold, for instance. 1t is fusable at l045
degrees Fahrenheit. But, subjected to
heat of 1850 degrees for an hour, with
little lead in the cupel, one-helf the
gold is eyaporated and lost. The vola

times what it is at 100 degrees. Gold

the rock because the degree Of heat ap
piled evaporated the gold. IN one case

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season ofthe year when the
prudent and careful housewife replen-
ishes her supply ofChamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is certain to be needed be-
fore the winter is over, and results are
much more prompt and satisfactory
when it is kept at hand and given as soon
as the cold is contracted and before it has
become settled in the system. In almost
every instance severe cold may be
warded off by taking this remedy freely
as soon as the first indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in giving 1t
to children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take-both
adults and children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best. 1t always cures.

A Note of Warning.

A timely note of warnings sounded
by the Medical Record in regard to
the danger of rushing young children
too rapidly through their studies. 1t
declares that our modern educational
system is greatly at fault in laying
too much stress upon examinations
and in developing the minds of the
children too oftenGat the expense of
their vitality and health. The stress
of modern education, it says, has
enormously taxed the brains of chill
dren by the multiplicity of studies.
Children cannot assimilate the ideas
in widely differing departments OF
knowledge at one and the same time.
The effort to do SO deranges in many
instances the entire nervous system
of the child. The so-called nervous
child is not only notnormal, but may
be the victim of the educational
methods of the present day.
