copper, bornite and chalcopyrite.
The Mair's property. consisting of
seven claims in the same district, is
Goldfeld. The first payment has been
made and work on these properties has
shown splendid bodies of very high
grade copper oxides carrying as high as
80 per cent copper, $50 gold and IA
ounces silver per ton. The ledge is a
contact between lime and granite, out

ready blocked out and in sight and
every miner that Superintendent Eva

AFTER AMERICAN HUSBANDS
One Thousand and Two Marriage
able Girls Arrive on Steamer
From Europe

New York, September 2S One thou
sand and two marriageable and be-
ribboned girls came into port from Eu-
rope yesterday on the White Star liner
Baltic looking for good husbands, be-
lieving that there are 1902 such in this
country who want wives that are low
ing, pretty aud good cooks. Few of
them care about staying in this city,
and they are going North, West and
South into the country-''where men
appreciate wives'-as one of them. Miss
Susan Thompson, said. All of these
girls are in the steerage.
1t was the greatest variety of girls.
with the greatest variety of colors, and
the greatest variety of faces that has
ever come into this port or into the
country.
This great influx of maidens is the
result of the circulation Of reports in
Europe that good husbands are plenti-
full here. The girls in the United
States, the reports told these girls in
Europe. were too highminded, wanted
too much and were above marrying a
man who wss not as rich as Pittsburg
millionaire. 1t would seem that these
1909 came to the conclusion to come to
this country at the same time, for the
movement was not an organized one
and few Of the girls knew half dozen

SAFE HANDLING OF DYNAMITE
Useful Details Explaining How This
Explosive Should BE Thawed Out

The Denver Mining Reporter pub
hshes the following article on the use
aud handling Of dynamite which con.
tains suggestions. that IL followed,
may be the means Of averting accidents
from the careless manipul .tion of giant
powder:
Ii Is best to use the strongest cap oh.
,ainable in the exploding of dynamite.
Inc cap should be placed in the box
with the open end down. The car
boxes should not be kept in the same
room or building as dynamite.
Manufactures of high explosives rec
onmenf the thawing kettle as the safest
method of thawing dynamite. This
consists of two water tight kettles, the
smaller one OF the two to be the recep.
ticle for the cartridges and the space
bstween the two kettles to be filed with
hot water of temperature of 1876 to l4O
degrees Farenheit, and both kettles is
TO be fitted with cover TO retain the
neat; under no conditions should the
Kettle be placed over a fire for heating
the water-if more heat is necessary,
empty the cold water and refill the out.
er or larger of the two kettles with hot
water.
The use Of warm manure will be
found safe in the thawing of dynamite
underground.
The miner, as well as the mine offic.
lai, should have a knowledge of the
quality Of powder used the indifferent
handling of 40 per cent powder under
the belief that it is 20 per cent grade,
undoubtedly tends to increase the num-
Der OF accidents. Manufactures now
label each box and sometimes each stick
so that the purchaser may know the
quality; it is equ ally as important thai
the miners should know and it is the
duty of officials to inform them.
The above are some Of the recon-
mendations of the Pennsylvania coal
mine inspectors.

The Federal Grand Jury at San Fran.
CISCO has returned five Indictments of
124 counts against the Southern Pa
cific Company and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, charging VIOLA
lions of the Interstate Commerce law.
These indictments, if followed BY
convictions. are sufficient to render the
corporations liable to fines aggregating

mum fines prescribed by law on each
count being $1,000 and the maximum

ed of secretly cutting to 81 the publish
ed rate of $l.25 on through shipments
from Kobe, Japan, to San Francisco.
and thence throughout the United

Two indictments of eight counts each
were returned against the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, which transported
the cargo from Kobe to San Francisco,
and one indictment of eight counts and
two indictments of 30 counts each were
returned against the Southern Pacific
Company for forwarding the cargo in
broken lot shipments from San Fran
cisco eastward. The published rate for
such shipments. as fled by the defend
ant corporations with the Interstate

the grand jury charges that the Pacific
Mail and the Southern Pacific accepted
the goods from Joseph Wilde & Co..
Taylor. Cooper & Co. and Smith, Baker

ments were returned in the United

Why Reno Wants Gambling

The salary of the gambling interests
of Reno amount to more than 1000
each month. More than 100000 are
spent in Reno each year by class OF
men comparatively unknown to large
majority of the residents OF this city.
This information was given out recently
bv one of the men who control large
share of the gambling business here.
That same man recently figured up the
number of men employed in operating
the different games now running here.
He placed the number at 500. The aver.
age salary paid these men is So per day.
Dealers receive from 81 sc. to % per day,
while the game managers are paid an
average of about $40 daily. The num-
erous assistant employees" are paid al.
most anything from 50 to 50 day.
"At least one redeeming feature OF this
big pay ROLL" said the gambling man,
sis that practically every cent OF IL Is
spent here. The men who receive this
money wear good clothes, believe in hv-
ing we'll and are not afraid to pay Tor
