Explosion by Music.

One of the most dangerous Of all ex-
plosives Is black powder called
iodide of nitrogen. When it is dry the
slightest touch will often cause 1t to
explode with great violence. There
appears to be a certain rate of vibra-
ton which this compound cannot re-
sist. In experiments to determine the
cause Of its extreme explosiveness
some damp iodide Of nitrogen was
rubbed on the strings Of bass viol.
1t is known that the strings Of such
an instrument will vibrate when those
of similar instrument having an
equal tension are played upon. In
this case, after the explosive had be-
come thoroughly dry upon the strings,
another bass viol was brought near
and the strings sounded. At GER
tain note the iodide of nitrogen on the
prepared instrument exploded. 1t was
found that the explosion occurred only
when a rate Of vibration Of sixty a
second was communicated to the pre-.
pared strings. Vibration Of the G
string caused an explosion, while that
of the e string had no effect-Chi.

MINES AND MINING.

At a depth of 1877 feet in the vein
of the main crosscut tunnel, 430 feet
from the portal, rich copper ore has
been struck in the property of the
Royal Copper Mines near Belknap on
the Montana side of the Idaho line.
The sixth charred body has been
taken from the ruins of the Chicago
Reduction companys plant at Chicago.
Inspecting engineers and fire depart
ment detectives are trying to discover

ruins. Of the 20 men injured two 9th
ers are expected to die. All the vic
tins were foreign laborers.
H. V. Salisbury and associates, who
have been prospecting on Canyon
Mont, have discovered splendid cop
per ore practically at the grass roots.
A large amount of supplies has been
taken to the site, and force of men
put at work. The ore assays Is per
cent copper, and the discovers are
more than confident that they will
have a bonanza with proper develop
ment.
The official report of the LeRoi mine
at Rossland for the month of March,
as submitted to the London office OF
the company, shows that during the
month 6700 tons of ore were shipped
to the Northport smelter, containing
$3.50 ounces of gold, $500 ounces OF

TO ONE BENT UPON FARMING.

What to Do When 1t L. Planned to
Go Into Agriculture.
Within the last few years the posi-
bilities Of making money from the land
has begun to impress itself on those
who have watched the steady upward
trend Of prices Of foodstuffs, and peo-
pie are beginning to inquire for books
and literature pertaining to farming
trucking and poultry raising, says the
New York Post.

cation.
To put all your eggs in one basket Is
very risky, especially II you don't
know anything about the basket. Many
men, whose judgment in business mat
tiers has always been conservative, have
gone to the country and have sunk all
their capital at once into a business Of
which they knew absolutely nothing.

and you will find that 90 per cent of

were born and raised in the business
In New Jersey there is man who
started q few years ago with small
flock of fowls. In 1904 he had $4,000
invested in his plant and, after deduct

per cent for interest, cleared $1,000 To
start a poultry plant requires less capt.

Public School Graduatuu Exercises.

pect good work OH the part Of the
young people and in this they were MOI
disappointed.

asked the audience to bear patiently
with the young people and to overlook
any mistakes they might make, asthere
had been no time for thorough pre-
jparation. r. ..#

lest pictures ever seen in Elko. The
stage, prettily decorated with flowers
with the graduates seated i'll u semi

and beauty seldom seen anywhere.
The exercises were in accordance with
the programme published yesterday and
every number of it was we'll rendered.
The hearts of the young people were in
their work and EACH one received a
hearty round of genuine applause.
AT the conclusion of the regular prog
ram, superintendent Anderson made q
short address in which he spoke highly
of the work of the graduating class and
closed by presenting each with state
diploma emitting the holder to admission
into the county high school
While the young ladies were prepar-

sang a couple of songs that were round
ly applauded.
The young ladies all did nicely in the
play and were loudly applauded.
