For this tree, which has just been discovered, stands on gov ernmcnt land. The trea is a redwood. The discovery was accidental and was made by party of hunters.

Regarding Explosives.

In paper read by J. H. Kaakeet
before the last meeting of the Lake
Superior Mining Institute the follow
ing precautions in handling high ex-
plosives were recommended.
Never attempt to thaw frozen dyna-
mite by roasting, toasting or baking
it. Never put it in heated vessels or
on boilers, or before fires or heating
metals.
Never put cap into charge or
primer until you are ready to use it..
After it is made never let a primer
leave your hands until it is in the
hole.'
Keep the caps away from the dyna-
mite. Never let them come near each
other, except when they are to be
used.
Never allow smoking or other fire
near the powder or explosive, as it
burns rapidly. specially when loose,
and may fire caps incautiously left
near by, and thus bring on an explo-
sion.
Never use metallic hammer.
Do not get nitro-glycerine on your
fingers. 1t will be absorbed by the
skin and give you headache.
Invariably prepare your primer at a
distance from your explosive.
Before handling wires, grasp some
metal in moistened contact with the
earth, or place both hands against the
moist walls of the tnnnel, this dis
charges the electricity of the body.
