ing dynamite into molds which form
dynamite sticks.
All of the women were slightly i'm
jured, but fortunately the building
they We're In did not blow up.
That the punching of dynamite In
the house in which the explosion oc-
Cured is done by machinery accounts
for the fact that there were but three
persons In the building az the time.
The Hercules plant is one of the
largest dynamite manufactures in the
country, 1t produced one-fourth OF the
putput of the United States last year.
The plant is worth half million dol
lars and employs 200 persons.

Cape Haytien, Hayti.-A messenger

troops, has attacked and captured the
town of Dajabon, on the frontier of

J. A. Harvey, a well known Goldfeld
mining man. who arrived last night
from Rosebud, add his testimonial to
the future greatness of the camp. Mr..
Harvey was a pioneer at Tonopah and
Goldfeld and he emphatically states
that in neither camp was the surface
showing anywhere near Rosebud's in
richness.
Nothing can stop Rosebud; IL Is
bound to be one of the big ones, il not
the biggest camp in the state" said Nj.
Harvey. Work has been commenced
on the Brown Palace group. which Is GG

who own the Dreamland. Golden Anchor
and other choice groups are going
ahead with development with character

william Tanner. representing Patsy
Clark, of Greenwater fame, has been In
Rosebud several days n his opinion of
the district is so favorable that there is
no doubt of Clark making heavy invest
ments. Over $50 lots ave already been
sold. the demand for business locations
being especially great.
Deals were closed a few days ago for
the Sunrise and Rattlesnake GROUP at
good figures. The boom is on in earnest
and one will have to be swift to keep up
with it. Don't OVERFLOW this."-Hum-

DRY WASHERS AT ROUND MT.

his lease on the Blue Jay claim, belong
ing to the Round Mountain Combination
Mining company. he has obtained an adj
ditional $40 ounces.
The manner in which Wilson discov-
cred the placer gold at Round Mountain
may wen be termed unique. He had
never worked surface gold before. His
only experience was In watching Sc raj
dry washers at work in Manhattan.
Upon his arrival In Round he
fancied that the same opportunities pre-
scented themselves. He asked Manager
Davis for a lease on a block of ground
500 feet south of the main ledge and
workings, where there were no surface
groupings to Indicate the presence OF
mineral. Scarcely having the courage
to refuse, the never for a mo-
ment believing the applicant could make
1T pay, gave his consent. Wilson went
to work with a will in a barren looking
spot where the soil was two feet deep to
bed rock.
After working this out he gradually
widened his scope and began de wins
into deeper ground to a depth OF 20
feet, where it became necessary to hire
scrapers teams. He found the gold
pretty evenly distributed through the
surface dirt down to the bedrock OF
soft porphyry. This he carefully
cleaned as the work progressed. First
he bought one dry washer and Their an
other, both being conducted on the bel
lows plan with a rotary motion causad
by the turning of a handle-wheel. One
man shoveled into a hopper while the
other turned. Others were employed In
stripping and piling the soil.
Some OF the gold is exceedingly fine,
but by careful manipulation he man
aged to save a large percentage. 1t car

by competent ssayers give it a value
of 1880 to the ounce.

DEMAND FOR COPPER

The demand for copper Is not Of q
speculative character. but IL based upon
the urgent and growing use Of the red
metal In Industrial circles throughout
the world; and this demand Is not tran
STORY. but will continue. and only par
TALLY supplied. for many years to come.
The consumption of copper along In
dustrial lines Is largely accounted for
by its extensive and almost limitless
use IN the application of electricity,
which has made Il possible to supply
electric light and power at prices which
can AFFORD to pay. The ap-
plfcation of electricity as power has
almost revolutionized many industries
throughout the world, and its use has
hardly begun as yet. In time the use
Of electricity will almost displace the
steam locomotive on the transcontinen-
tai railroads of the United States. For
years the elevated railroads OF New
York depended upon steam for power,
but of late trafic has increased 70 such
an extent that the locomotive was un-
able to handle 1t. and now these a
use electricity for power most success
fully and at a lower cost. In some cir
cles It is claimed that 1t is not more
railroads that are wanted and needed,
but better facilities and lower cost Of
operation, and hat operation by cleo
tricity is the solution of the problem.
This wonderfully increased use OF
electricity depends almost solely upon
one Important factor, and this is the
supply of copper The demand for this
supply is what Is sending copper quota
ions soaring skyward. and there Is no
telling what prices the red metal may
command in the future. And for this
reason copper has attained a sound and
substantial basis. 1t is for such a rea-
son that there is an ever-growing de-
mand for copper properties and for good
copper stocks. The demand for copper
tust now is small to what 1t will be hve
years from now. and those possessing a
copper mine productive of payable ore,
or stocks in good copper mining COM
~panies. can rest assured that their in
vestments are along right lines. and
that the future has something most
pleasant in store for them.-Salt Lake
