A GREAT EXPLOSION
 Al LAGUNA DAM
A Half Ton of Dynamite Shook the
 Vicinity.

Yuma, Jan. 31., Special to the Repub- lican.)-One of the most terrific explos- ions that ever took place in Arizona was that which occurred at Laguna dam at 3:30 this afternoon, when one thousand pounds of dynamite in one of the storage powder houses of J. C.. White & Co, went off. A hole twenty feet deep was blown in the ground. Every office. store and residence win dow in the place was shattered. Crock cry and canned goods went tumbiing to the floor in stores, restaurants gave the appearance of a broken pot tery yard and all residents were fright ened out of their wits for a time. Even tents were generally deranged and ex- citement in general reigned for a half hour.
 Luckily, however, no fatal accidents occurred, the only wounded ones being three men and one woman. These wounds were inflicted by flying glass from the windows. The wounded are G A. Girvin, O. A. Walden, Mrs. BigIer and MT DelOire, all being cut about the face or head from the shattered glass. The explosion was caused by a brushheap against the dynamite house catching fire from a passing engine 4 derrick crew, but seventy-five yards distant, saw the explosion and by a nasty retreat and expert lodging es- capped injury. The dynamite was situ- ated near the eastern terminus of the dam

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
Hyomoi a Scientific Treatment foi


 Catarrh by Breathing Medicated Air. Ever since Hyomei has been known, its formula has been given to physi- cians. druggists, and, in fact, to all in telligent people who could apprecIa te healing gums, oils. and balsams, of which it is composed.
 Many leading physicians endorse Hyomei and prescribe it for catarrhal troubles. In fact. quite a few of them use it themselves to break up a cold and prevent pneumonia. They regard i it as a natural, yet scientific way of ] curing catarrh.
 Breathed through the pocket inhalec i that comes with every outfit, Hyomei destroys all catarrhal germs in the air | passages of the throat and nose. soothes and heals the irritated mucous membrane and effectuaily drives from ! the system all traces of catarrhal poi son.
 No one should confound Hyomei with the patent medicines that are ad- vertised as catarrh cures. It is as su- perior to them all as the diamond is
 more valuable than cheap glass. The complete Hyomei outfit, con
 sisting of a neat pocket inhaler, me
 dicine dropper, and a bottle of HyOmei
 costs but s1. and extra bottle can be
 obtained for 50 cents. making it the
 most economical method of curing
 catarrh as well as the most reliable.
 H. Goodman has sold a great many
 Hyomei outfits and has seen sucn remarkable results from it's use. that | he sells it under an absolute guaran-
 tee that it costs nothing unless it cures.

The ground lays just right for subdividing into 5, 10 and 20 acre tracts and each tract fronting on the Christy coun- ty roads.

I am going to put this tract on the market at $10O to $125 per acre for a short time.

enjoying a marked period Of prosperity.
y. X. Tooley has a force Of men en-
ployed upon his group OF Tonopah
claims, adjoining the Spider-Wasp
group, and is now in seventy feet with
a tunnel. Every indication points to-
ward the early discovery OF the ledge.
Surface o%utcropping on this valuable
property showed values of from $40 to
5000 per ton.
w. b. Wiyrick received this week a
six-horse load of lumber, the first in
camp, and it was at once utilized for
building purposes. Y. X. Tooley is
having a dwelling house erected, and
Joseph Herzog, formerly Of this place Is
having a restaurant and saloon building
under course of construction.
Quite a number Of leasers are engaged
upon work in the vicinity OF Victor and
double shifts are being worked. Tn
less all signs fail Victor will soon be one
of the county's most substantial aud
prosperous mining camps.

HOskey Makes Deal.

Attorney IL. W. Hoskey, OF Levers x
Hoskey, Reno lawyers, spent the first OF
the week in Fallon, returning home,
Thursday. Mr.. Hoskey was here prima-
rily in the interests of clients OF his firm
whom he informed US had pu.e chased
the entire interests of William Seymour
and wife, in their Wonder mining dis
trict. The buy ers are said to be L. A.
Colburn, a Colorado capitalist, and W.
W. Kirby, who has been contesting the
rights OF Mr.. Seymour to a certain min
ing claim, which is included in the pur-
chase, but the sale in no wise affects the
litigation, which Mr.. Hoskey informed
us would be continued to the issue. The
consideration named in the papers filed
is $40, 600.
Mr.. Hoskey took occasion while here
to mention his candidacy for the speak
ership of the next assembly, he being
one of three democrats elected from
Washoe's quota of seven, the other four
newly elected members being republic
cans. Mr.. Hoskey is an attorney OF
ability and would serve his
constituents wei if favored with the
honor.

Mrs. Bradley's Husband a Resident of
This Locality.

The husband of Mrs. Anna Bradley,
who on last Saturday shot and mortally
wounded former United States Senator
Arthur Brown, of Salt Lake City, is
well known in this county, where he has
been employed in various capacities for
more than two years. At the present
time he is engaged as nightWatchman
at the r. Andrews construction camp,
near this place. Up to the time that
the San Francisco Construction Com
pany left this county, he was employed
by them as a timekeeper.
While Bradley is an expert book
keeper and accountant, and has been
high in clerical circles in times past,
the conduct of his wife has turned the
whole course of his life, until today he
has given himself over to the use Of
intoxicants to such an extent that he is
no longer the man he once was.
Owing to the fact that he came to
Churchill county under a cloud, having
served a short term in the state prison
for enlightenment, he changed his name
from Clarence \. Bradley to George
Bradley, but he has often been recog-
nized by old-time acquaintance, who
have noted his changed social and men,
tai condition.
No one seems to blame Bradley for his
eccentricities, but attribute his condi-
ton to the evil influences OF his former
wife, who is now a m|urderess and stands
in the shadow of the gallows.

Churchill Hotel Changes Manage


Theodore Wetmore, who has conduc-
ted the Churchill hotel for the past six
months upon a lease from Mrs. Grace
Ferguson, the owner, turned over his
lease today, and in the future this pop
ular hostelry will be under the Immedi-
ate charge of Mrs. Ferguson, who crea-
ted an enviable reputation as a hotel
keeper during her nearly two years OF
proprietorship. Many travelling people
will remember Mrs. Ferguson and her
obliging ways, and she will re-enter the
calling, not as a stranger, but with the
support of her old friends who are le-
gion.
In the future, travellers will be served
in the same obliging manner that char
acterized Mrs. Ferguson's former regime,
and we bespeak for her a liberal patron
age.
Mrs. Ferguson proposes to reestablish
die rates which were in vogue when she
conducted the hotel, at which time
many local boarders made the Church.
i'll their headquarters. The new rate
will enable many OF the local working
people to again board as formerly.
Mr.. Wetmore will leave with his fam
lily for Reno, next Monday. During
their stay in Fallon Mr.. and Mrs. Wet
more have made a host of friends who
regret TO see them leave and wish them
unbounded success in whatever field
they may chose as q location.

The Colorado River On a Rampage.

The Colorado River On a Rampage.
All the millions that the Southern
Pacific expended to control the Colorado
River we're wasted. The river has
broken through in another place, a
fourth OF the stream is again racing
downto the salton Sink, endangering
the towns Of Mexieali and Calexico and
threatening to wipe out many thousands
Of acres now under cultivation in the
Imperial Valley.
The Lew break also means that the
reclamation work at Lagunda dam will
be brought TO Il standstill. Whether
the Southern Pacific will again attempt
| TO put the river back into its old chan
mel is a question; and if the railroad
will not do the work, it will have to be
done by the government. According to
the statement Of the engineers, if the
/ Colorado is not controlled, the back
water will cut into the banks some forty
feel and more, and Yuma would be left
trembling on the brink OF high preci-
piee.
General Manager T.. T.. Calvin said
in an interview that the reports from
Yuma were not encouraging. 81 sup
pose we will have to build a new road"
he continued. "There seems nothing
else to do. | received a wire from Mr..
Randolph, in which he said that the
river could again be controlled, but not
in time to save our main line.
This means that we will have to 60
to work at once and build. We have
not decided as yet whether WI shall
build a temporary track until such time
as the permanent road is built. We
will have to get closer to the hills and
so keep out Of the reach Of the water.
Orders were issued early to assemble all
the men and the teams We could get in
order to begin work on the new track.
MIR. Randolph reports that one
fourth OF the river is TO- pouring in
through the new break and that means

the entire stream will be flowing down
to the sink.
"The scene Of the new break is south
OF the point where Cory did such good
work in stopping the inflow before. He
gave warning that the levee was danger
Gus, and his fears have been realized y
The break in the Colorado River
means that all new work OF the South
ern Pacific will be stopped until the
new track around the Salton Sea is
made. Fortunately for its speedy con-
] struetion, General Manager Calvin has
had stored along the line from Indio
/ east several million ties and rails, and
there will be no waiting for material.
/ The cost that the Colorado has been to
! the Southern Pacific is not mentioned
even by the railroad people. The track
has already changed five times, and for
several miles trains are run on a high
trestle owe the sea. When the wind
/ blows from the south, the waves dash
ever the rails and a construction force
has to be kept constantly on hand to
mend any place which shows weakness
from the onslaught OF the waters.

cope with the important question of
placing eggs where they viii be most

their prisons, each Of which Is closed
above by kind Of trapdoor.
After Il period Of some eighty.two
days the eggs reach their full develop
ment and produce, not tadpOles. but
actually perfect little toads. The rea.
son of this is that the tadpoles, which
require tn breathe the air dissolved In
the water by means VI their external
gills, could not exist in the cells, and
consequently this stage Of development
Is passed through very rapidly within
the egg, In due time the young toads
to the number OF 50 or luW burst open
the lids of their cells, poke out their
noses and make their entrance into the
world, The mother toad rubs of the
