DEADLY EXPLOSIVES
Independent Fireworks Plant
at Camden Blown Up.
THREE KILLED, TEN BADLY BURNED
Theory Is That Father of the Vice
President Took ChIOrnte of Pot
ash Out of "A Barrel With Show
ell Containing sulphur.

CAMDEN, n. j., May 24.-Three per-
Sons were killed and ten others injured,
two of them probably fatally, by an
explosion in the factory of the indie
pendent Fireworks company on the
outskirts of this city.
The dead are Simon PeradaZZo, aged
eighteen years, of this city; Joseph
Logolla, sixteen years, of Philadelphia.
and Andraf Orvilla, seventeen years, of
this city.
Those believed to be fatally injured
are Michael Scalona, aged fifty-two
years, and leonardo Pinto, forty-five
years, both of this city.
Robert L. Weser of Philadelphia,
PRESIDENT of the company. and Joseph
Scalona, vice president, were arrested
and held in 81 800 bail to await the ac-
ton of the oroner. Warrants have
been issued for certain other officers
Of the concern.
The plant consists of a two story
brick ~storehouse and four frame sheds,
one of which is used for mixing the
explosive composition placed in the
fireworks. The explosion occurred in
this department. The cause of the ac-
cident is yet to be positively determin
ed. The theory of the workmen is that
Michael Scalona, father of the vice
president of the company, may have
taken chlorate of potash out of Il
barrel with u shovel on which there
was some sulphur. Some of the work
people had very narrow escapes. One
girl was rescued from the roof of II
of the sheds, where she had been car
rled by the force of the explosion.

DEVELOP A COLD PROPERTY.
George Hedges Secures Interest In
Four-Mile District

A special from Grangeville to the
Tribune says George E. Hedges OF the
Hump, who is here today, reports that
himself and brother have bought and
located in the Four-Mile district, about
eight miles west of the Hogan mine, a
free milling proposition in which he has
great faith. He expects to begin the
work of development there as soon, as
cabins can be built and supplies be got
ten in for the winter. The ore is a
quartz, showing coarse gold all through
and the lodges are apparently, of good
size. Some little development has re-
Gently been done, and sample assays
show very high values on twelve to
sixteen inch seam, The property pur-
chased by Mr.. Hedges is just southeast
of the Acacia B. Consolidated Mining
company property which was stocked
last year, and upon which considerable
work was then done. The Acacia peo-
pie state that a contract for a 300 foot
tunnel has just been let, and work will
commence in few days. The principal
owners of the Acacia are Frank Richett
of Grangeville and Pat Leatch.

Revival at Old Warren.

William Hye returned yesterday from
the Warren district, where he has spent
the summer in mining and prospecting
Mr.. Hye brought with him some fine
specimens of float quartz and recently
discovered ledge from which it is be-
lieved that the float came. The ledge
has just been opened and it, is probable
that Mr.. Hye, will return to the camp
to spend the winter and develop his re-
cent discovery. He states that the
Warren camp has been very active
during the. summer and that more than
100 men are employed in the district.
The Little Giant, the Silver King and
the Mayfowe have been working with
full crews and are very promising prop
critics. The Mayfloweris now installing
roller mill that has capacity of ten
stamp mill, and extensive work will. be
carried on during the winter, Mr.. Hye
is associated with Wynn Pefey, who
spent the summer in the, camp and was
called to the city on account of his
fathers illness.
''The outlook for the Warren district
is most encouraging, said Mr.. Hye
yesterday" and we believe the camp
will become one of the most important
in the state. The camp, is nows very
active and much substantial develop
ment work has been done during the
past few months. l have spent four
seasons in the camp and have noted an
increased activity each year. My four
seasons have been spent in searching
for the ledge we now have and we con-
slider our discovery valuable one. The
search has been stimulated by the fire.

The American Mining Congress.

The American Mining Congress final
ly decided to make Denver its perma-
nent headquarters. We trust that this
step will mark the end Of the state of
suspended animation which hitherto has
been the condition of that organization.
The congress, however, cannot rest
on its oars. 1t must do something be-
sides choosing a set of officers. Stating
the case as gently as possible, the con-
gress is not in good repute among min
ing men generally. To gain the respect
and support of the mining public radical
methods must be adopted and the knife
used freely to cut the organization loose
from the influences that have so sadly
hampered it's progress in past. We
speak thus freely because we believe
there is work for such body as the
American Mining Congress. Bona fide
mining men will have nothing to do with
the organization if it goes on in the
same old rut that it has followed for the
last seven or eight years. Yet, we
think, VT speak on behalf Of the indus
ry generally when we say that the
majority of mining men wish it well
md that they hope it will be reorganiz-
ed on such a basis as that they can
cooperate in it's work.
We cannot refrain from regretting
TIE manner in which LATE Pence of
Lewiston, Idaho. saw fit to advance the
claims of Denver for permanent head
quarters. 1t was a disgusting exhibit
ton. The language used in reference
to Utah men and women was unbecom-
ing, not to say coarse.
In our opinion the officers of the con-
gress should take such steps as would
prevent in future any danger of such
remarks being made to it as Mr.. Pence
saw fit to present TO the CO. gress at
Portland. Denver itself wants no such
adcAsacy and there is a general feeling
of i's'lignation among such citizens of
Denver as we have n ct that the men
and women of Utah should have been in
suited in their name. Mining Reporter.

Idaho county has reached a state
where only the best men placed in NOM
nation can count on election. The con-
dition of county politics is such that the
people will not support ticket because
it is republican or because it is demo
cratic. They are rot satisfied with a
democratic rule, and they have not
tried republican administration Of
county affairs. AS a consequence the
general talk is that voters will support
the best man nominated. In this condi-
ton lies the great hope of republican
success. For each county Office there
are aspirants for nomination that are
the very best men in the community.
1t is not time to give it to the man
who wants it, but to the best man, the
man who can be elected. The Sapubli-
cans now have practical assurance Of
thoroughly good ticket. The SHARP
competition will have the effect of bring
ing out only the best men. 1t is true il
every line, competition brings out the
best. Each aspirant may have circls
of friends who will support him, but it
is upon the entire convention that he
must depend for his election, and when
it comes to choise the greater part Of
the convention will choose the right
man. -Grangeville Standard.
