New LeadviIIe PIacers.

Work that will mean the opening up
of vast virgin country in Big Evans
gulch will commence this week. when
the Citizens Mining company. of
which Major Bohn is the head Or
ganiZer. will start sinking on the
Mammoth placer. on which they have
taken a lease, says the Leadville Dem
ocrat. The company is composed
mostly of local men. although there
are two directors from st. Louis. A
contract has been let to A. G. McDon-
aid for the sinking of a shaft which
will commence at once, 500 feet and
deeper if necessary. The placer has
never been operated before. 1t lies in
Big Evans. between the El Paso and
Evansville. and is east of the Paw
nolos. There are no other workings
near it. Ore has already been proved
to exist. for some time ago drill hole
was bored to a depth of 600 feet. and
a ten-foot body of high-grade sulphides
and galena discovered. 1t is to exploit
this that the property will be operated.
The land is owned by John Harvey.
Tingley S. Wood. Henry r. Pendery
and Judge Frank w. Overs. The Citi-
zens' Mining Company, which has al
ready filed articles of incorporation
with the secretary of state, has taken
a ten years lease on the property. and
the work done on 1t will be extensive.
There are sixty acres of good placer

Calcium Carbide Explosive.

German papers state that acetylene
gas, generated from calcium carbide
by the addition of water, has not met
expectations for lighting, which, how
ever, were very great. On account Of
the ease with which a gas for lighting
purposes could be obtained, 1t was be-
lieved that 1t would be used very ex-
tensively, but the boom in the acety-
lene industry did not last long. New
uses for the gas have been looked for
for some time. The latest invention
Is its use as an explosive.
BY means of an air mixture explo-
sive force is obtained which can COM
pete with that Of powder and dyna-
mite. The explosion takes place in an
air chamber and Is caused by an cleo
trio spark. For this purpose carbide
of calcium Is reduced to small parti-
cles. and put into cartridge. consist
ing of a tin box. In this the carbide
lies at the bottom and above 1t Is a
partition filled with water. Above this
is a vacant space with the electric
percussion device. On the side of the
which the. partition between the car
bide and the water can be perforated.
After the drill hole has been COM
