BADLY INJURED
BY AN EXPLOSION

Frank Moreland, an old prospector
who has spent many years searching
the Nevada hills for wealth, was nearly
killed by a premature explosion of
giant powder in a prospect hole in the
Big Pine district, near Hawthorne, last
Sunday afternoon, and is now in Reno
receiving surgical treatment, says
Wednesdays Gazette. He had a very
narrow escape from death, and for the
remainder of his life his face will show
the result of the explosion.
Moreland was working in a small drift
and had put in a charge of powder, but
it exploded before he expected it to,
and he was still in the drift when the
explosion occurred. He was thrown
several yards by the force of the ex-
plosion and one side of his face was
nearly torn away. Moreland was rem
dered unconscious by the blast, and il
was several minutes before he regaineC
his senses.
He lay on the ground for nearly al
hour unable to rise, but at last sue
ceeded in reaching his tent, where HI
bandaged his face. He then started Oh
a long walk across the desert to Haw
thorne to have his wounds dressed
He had to walk for a whole day an,
was in a very weakenedcondition wheI
he reached Hawthorne. He had hi
wounds dressed there and then took tn
train for Reno.

FINE LOOKING
SILVER ORE

Some of the finest looking silver
,ead-pold ore that has come into this
city for many a long day was brought
in from the old Bullion district, south
of Beowawe, New, says the Salt Lake
Herald. The samples were taken out
of the carload consignment that mas
reached the samplers here and which
will be disposed of during the next two
or three days by Lee Lakin, a former
Salt Laker who with R. l.. Colburn and
!. P. Kane of Goldfeld, is operating
the property under a bond secured upon
it during the month Of July. Mr.Lakin
would not undertake to say how the
ore would run, but as it had the APP
pearance of the richer classes OF lead
silver ores that come from the Park
CITY camp, it will undoubtedly show up
well. The property, which is known as
the independence group, was worked
at great profit by the "chlorinders" OIL
the early days, but no attempt was
then made to gain any depth at all on
the ground. We have 98 tons Of the
ore here now, said Mr.. Lakin yester-
dav. tsand another carload will be
shipped during the next few days. We
are sinking a Wine in the ledge from
the tunnel level and it is from this
winze that the ore is at present being
taken. We shall raise out to the sur
face from the tunnel and then install 9
good whim and follow the vein down
The property looks good to us, as does
the entire district. Our ground Il
located about six miles west Of the new
town of Teanbo and not far from thu
old Gray Eagle, Silversides and othel
mines of note in that section which ar
still producing. Across the valley t.
the east of us the famous Cortez prop
ertv and the mines that have beel
located on the great gold belt, whicl
seems to parallel the lead-silver bear
ing vein system. Colorado men ar
now rushing things in the Tenab
region and the Goldfeld- Tonopah ope
rators are just beginning to awaken t
the Importance of the district. W
went in there with an auto in July an
it did not take us long to realize tina
we were in one of the richest miner;
regions in the State of Nevada,
country far ahead of the camps to tn
south, as far as natural conditions wen
concerned. There will be a boom thei
lust as sure as fate, for nc camp in tt
State has an edge on it for either go
or silver-lead-bearing lodges. I.
Rigney, the Salt Lake engineer, hi
been responsible, largely, for the Unfit
of Colorado operators to Tenabo and
understand that he and his friends ha'
some splendid properties in course

mind but what the ore to justify
building will be opened up there duril
the next year."

Black Sand

Prospectors should investigate all
deposits of black sand. The U. S. Geo.
logical department has found that this
sand usually carries platinum, which is
more precious than gold. Other valu-
able minerals, useful in the arts, are
found in black sand, which is plentiful
in the western States, especially along
the big streams. Platinum is worth $40
an ounce. 1t will remain in the par
with gold and a be distinguished by
its bright silver color. The grains are
usually smaller than gold grains.

departments of the least fit who can pass a
minimum fest and the setting aside Of the best

equipped they would not need preference. The
extension also involves the further restriction

AVERTING YELLOW FEVER.

An efficient system of defence against yelio"

chiefly TO be feared, to arrange for prolhpter
and more efficient warnings of danger IN future
than have been supplied in the past; and on
their return to the United States this week they
expressed the opinion that their expedition had
been successful.
When one more safeguard has been adopted
the South may well feel secure Nobody seems
TO doubt that the outbreak in the French quar-
ter Of New Orleans last July was caused by
italians who had come there from some point in
Central America where the fever already pre-
vailed. That would not have been possible, 1t
is evident had there not been lax admlnlsra-
ton at the quarantine station near the NOUN
of the Mississippi. How much blame attaches
to the oversight is a question which there Is
now no occasion to discuss, but 1t is important
to provide for the exercise of greater watchful-
ness or greater frmness at the outpost referred
to- If, as a result of action by Congress this
winter, or of a formal request from the authori-
ties of Louisiana, the federal government should
take charge of the quarantine station, general
confidence in the efficiency Of the service would
be justified. If, on the other hand, the State
Board OF Health retains its present RESPONSE

its ability to learn from experience

WATER LEGISLATION.

There would be something distinctly comical
~ there were not so much that is omnous OF
something little short OF tragedy in the status
of the New-York water supply question at AL
bany. Note, for example the manner in which
1eglslators are trying TO deal with the State
water Commission. That body was created last
year for the immediate purpose OF supervising
New-aorks acquisition OF water IN Ulster
County and of protecting the rights OF the pcople
of that county, and for the general purpose Of
supervising the utilization OF water supplies
throughout the state. Yet the very influences
that were foremost IN securing the creation of
that commission are now taking the lead In try
ing TO make il superfiuOus and useless. for they
are urging law forbidding the taking of water
from Ulster County by any corporation outside
OF that county. That, Of course would exclude
New-Hork But if that principle is TO be ap-
piled there, il may with equal justice be applied
TO every county, in which case each county
would have monopoly of its water supplies and
general state commission would be unneces-
sarv.
This proposal to exclude New-YorIk from the
Ulster County water supplies IS OF course. n
not unnatural sequel 20 the former acts by which
II was excluded first from Suffolk County and
then from Duchess County. but like those. il
is unreasonable, inequitable and vicious in prin-
ciple Ulster County is glad enough TO get the
money OF NEWCOMERS which gives 1t its chief
Income and prosperity. Its people are glad
enough To visit New-YorlS and enjoy the hospi-
tally which the metropolis affords Yet they
are apparently unwilling TO let New-York pur-
chase, for IFS own most urgent needs the floods
OF water that yearly run 20 waste in that region
1t would not be easy 10 imagine anything more
oiscreditable Ulster cannot use the water, and
It VIII not let it be used by those who can and
who absolutely require IT, Such an attitude
