Following Is bis account Of the acci-

'"There was a very narrow escape
from what might have been terrible

these set off the balance of the pow.

though the blacksmith shop he was
occupying was blown to smithereens.
According to MIR. Rusk's account.
1t was this way: French, on account
Of his lame leg, was given permission
to thaw out the powder on the dump,
instead Of at the powder house, some
distance away In the snow. He took
the magazine to the dump, and to
expedite matters and hasten the
thawing process, he removed one of
the tins, and In short time there

a terrific explosion, filling the air
with timbers, tools, In fact every

stood solitary aud alone amid the

RADIUM WILL SOON Be
ADRUG ON THE MARKET

A New York special to the San
Francisco Examiner says: A little
more than q year ago Stephen P.
Lockwood, Princeton graduate, sent
some ore from Utah to Professor W.
+. Magic, Of Princeton, with the re
quest that IL be tested to ascertain II
It possessed radio active properties.
Professor Magic tested the ore
with an electroscope. He tells Of
the result In these words:
"It took me only about ten min
utes to determine that It possessed
great radio.activity. The demon
strations were very marked, and I
turned 1t over to Professor Alexander
Hamilton Phillips In order that he
might extract the radium from It.
Professor Phillips did all the hard
work."
A reporter saw Professor Phillips
In his laboratory at Princeton today.
1.-THE specimen was between twep-
ty.Ave and fifty pounds in weight"
said he. 1T was not the pitchblenie
used by the Curies in the manufac.
ture Of the French radium. 1t was
carnotite, an ore of a canary color,
containing, as l found. after expert
menting with 1t, oxide or uranium
aud vanadium combined with other
oxides that produce radiuni.
''ln my opinion, radium will soon
be so plentiful that 1t will be within
easy reach Of all branches of science.
The increased production will nat
urallly decrease its cost and there
need be no fear of exhausting the
American source of supply, for ! am
informed 1t Is practically limitless. ="

W. q. Calder aud j. n. Doane re-
turned Saturday night from their

road to travel. They took two teams

Burnt river contingent, aslo we'll
supplied with men aud teams. The
road WAS eHectually broken. and is

About the only thing necessary to
do to get the highway In shape WAS

was no small undertaking. This was
accomplished by tying logs to the
sleds aud sleighs aud going over the
ground. The trip from here Ia
Kings ranch can now be made by
way Of the new road In seven hours,
very materially shortening the time
aud distance. Another delegation Of
Burnt river ranohers. with products
