SATT LAKERS BOOM
SOUTHERN NEVADA

A coterie of Salt I.aL~ -~pitaiists
.!sItear southeastern Nevada this
week, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
The objective point of the members
of the party was Moapa valley, but
there was included a visit to the
growing town of Las Vegas on the
Salt Lake route.
In speaking of Las Vegas Gus.
S. Holmes said that the little city
of six years is growing to mans
estate. The shops that are being
built by the railroad running
Through and co~nverging to Goldfeld
and other important points in Ne
yada are having a healthy effect,
in the line of progress. The work
being done by the railroads will be
the means of increasing the
population of that little city-in
some res pect delightful-at least
1000 within the next few months.
The visitors to the Moapa valley
this side of Las Vegas, were
composed of j. C. Lynch, John
Condron Mr.. Holmes and T. H
Fitzgerald. These gentlemen spent
several days. in the Moapa valley il
which they are largely interested
in an inspection of winter gardens.
There they found conditions sea-
sonable for great crops Upon
conservative computation based
upon what has been accomplished
this last year at least 500 cars
of vegetables should be shipped
to the various markets of the world

say. One of the visitors said:

We were in the valley we saw the

excells it not even the famous

new COMPOUND A
BOON TO MINERS

Fumicide the Latin for fume
destroyer means very little to the
average person because it is new-
really-a new chemical principle
involved. but its uses are gradually
being demonstrated to the various
managers and miners of u city
and for the first time we realize
hat sometimes the impossible may
be accomplished. John 7. Overbury
representing the Globe Chemical
Works of San Francisco has for
the last week been quietly conduct
ing a series of demonstrations in
u larest mine before the various
managers, foremen and miners.
The new mechanical compound is
composed of four chemicals COM
bined and mixed in such way that
when sealed in q cartridge and
loaded in the bottom of any drill
hole with the, usual charge of
powder. absolutely neutraliZes the
dangerous and unpleasant nitro
]glvcerine fumes thrown off ny any
powder which -esults in sickness
and headaches so frequently.
Successful tests have been given
in practically all of our largest
mines and the verdict of managers
and men alike has been: at does
the work" In all tests where from
20 to 40 pounds of powder have
been use il has been fully
demonstrated that it is possible
to walk directly into the drift or
crosscut within five minutes with
out any effect from gas, AMI with
little smarting of the eyes or
burning of the throat. The smoke
from the fuse, etc. is still present
after the explosion, but greatly
clarified, and changed from a dirty
yellow to a clear white.
This undoubtedly will prove d
great boon to all miners, as it
positively removes all the bad effects
which cause headaches and nausea.
The purpose of the compoUad is
simply To overcome th= acids
thrown off by all nit'o-gyccrinC
powders. The action takes place
so quickly that tEe nitro gases are
