The gold strike in Torres noun
tans has caused general stampede
in the southwest Hundreds of min
ers and prospectors have already
started for the scene of the new FL
Dorado. The location of FL Tigre
mine is about eighty miles southwest
of Douglas. The most direct way to
reach the new strike is by way of
Turicachi, on the Nacozari railroad,
and from there to Ell Tgre by mule
or horseback over the noun tans.
The gold fields are located in the high
mountainous country, and are reached
over steep trail About tour feet
of snow is on the ground in the Torres
mountains, and very little work can
be done by prospectors at this time.
1t will be month or six weeks before
the snow melts sufficiently to enable
the prospectors to travel over the
mountains.

main line between the working faces

strictly prohibited, if necessary by
legislation, as in such sitha TONS the
powder is constant menace to the
lives of men employed. Nevertheless
the construction of an underground
magazine in dry portion of the mine
has been recommended, as 1t keeps
the powder at uniform tempera-

Air as a Source of Nitrogen.

Air as source of Nitrogen.
In view Of the growing scarcity of
nitrate 0f soda and the absolute nee.
essity for its use In fertilizing grow
ing food products, it Is interesting 10
look for source for this material
outside of mineral deposits. While
there are said To be indications. of
the presence of nitrates in the desert
regions of Southern California, as
well as in Nevada, yet Chile has been
the main source of supply in the past.
Several years ago Sir William
Crookes pointed out that sthe Chilean
product could not possibly supply the
demand for any great period of time,
and moreover, that the soil of the
various wheat and corn growing
countries of the world was becoming
exhausted, requiring the addition of
heterogeneous fertilizers in constantly
increasing proportions. This distin-
guished scientist, however, declared
that in the atmosphere itself there
existed plentiful source of this nee
essary element He had been able
himself, TO make nitrate of soda syn
thetically in his laboratory, deriving
his elements from sea water as
source Of the alkaline base and nitro.
gen from the air.
This discovery Of Prof. Cro0kes'
has been carried beyond the point of
mere theory, as it has been demon
strated at Niagara Falls that the
process of electro-chemical genera
tion Of nitrate Of soda is entirely
practical from commercial stand
point. Recent inves LEGATIONS have
also shown that lime may be used as
basis for the liberated nitric acid
to act upon. Nitrate of lime is said
to be better fertilizer. and this form
of heterogeneous chemical can be more
readily assimilated by plant life, Nj
trate of lime, it is claimed made by
this method, will cost not more than
Sl2 90 per ton. All things being
taken into consideration, it would
seem probable that it is in this direc-
ton we must look for our supply of
this valuable fertilizer. OF course, if
mineral deposits are found so advan-
tageously situated as those of Alta
cana, no doubt they can be mined in
competition, but any that may exist
in remote regions, where transporta-
tion is expensive, will doubtless re-
main undeveloped. It is interest ting
to speculate ON the effect of the grad.
nal removal of nitrogen from the air.
1t is possible this may be compen.
stated for by the decomposition of or
ganic substances, but on the other
hand, this chain of reactions may not
be gone through, and our descendants
may breathe "a much more highly OK
ygenated and celebrating atmos-
phere than we have had. Pacific

HOW PARKS HELD EN- UP,
A Curious Combination of za- aud HI. hHay-
man According to Witnesses.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The first witness
Parks on she charge of extortion was
Benjamin Thackara, who took the stand
when court opened today. Thackara is
the man who, it is alleged, was sent by
the Tiffany corporation to see Parks TO
ascertain Why the men employed by it
stopped work on some buildings IN his
city last December. He told OF his meet
Ing with Parks and Of having asked him
why the men had stopped work. Parks
said. according to the witness, Tiffany Ii
fined $500 and if you're not prepared 10
settle, send Tiffany to see me-
Thackara said that he asked Parks to
go and see Tiffany but that the accused
replied:
YOU go back and tell Tiffany to go
to, and Jerome and the whole crew.
David Frazee, general superintendent,
employed by the Tiffany studios, told of
his interview with Parks in a saloon when
Parks again said that Tiffany was fined
$500. Later in the same day Frazee ac-
c~Cmpanied by Louis Schmitt. Of the Tiff
any corporation, visited Parks in his own
home. Schmitt asked Parks, the witness
said, why the fine OF $500 was imposed
and PARKS replied:
Now you're fined $500 and you are
getting Off light. 1t ought to be 81, zoe.
I am not IN this business for my health
and you're getting off easy"
Schmitt, according to the witness, then
said:
we have to pay this money in order
to do business"
THAT'S about it." said Parks, "but it
is for "initiati0n'; that sounds better
Louis Schmitt's story Of the interview
with Parks was in the main corroborative
of Traces testimony. Parks told them
that the fine should be paid and until Il
was not a bit of work would be done on
the Tiffany Jobs. The Witness said that

the money WOuid so, was 1T goes to
