WIRELESS CAUSED A
PREMATURE BLAST

II. g. Rogers, the representative of
the Giant Powder works. while here
recently. related circumstance of
rather peculiar nature which happened
on the Government work on the Colum-
bia river, says the Manhattan Mail.
A number of excavations had been
mada for the ramnval of large body
of rock formation. The blast was to
be made by battery and the charges
were Of black powder. AS the charges
were put in position for discharging
we're attached with no insulation on,
and ready for connection with the
battery. The blast was to have been
set off in the evening but for some
reason. at the time unaccountable,
the explosion took place soon after
the noon hour, killing several of those
working nearby and ipjuring many
others.
Mr.. Rogers. as an expert in the use
of explosives. was sent for to deter
buinC ~ BOoeiOic tho todoO Va thO us
astsr. After thorough investigation,
without result. he casually inquired
If there were any wireless stations
in the vicinity and was informed
that there was, at the Dalles. He
suggested a series Of experiments to
ascertain il the wireless was re-
sponsible for the premature blast.
This was done with results that were
surprising. Out of 100 attempts to dis
charge the blasts by wireless but one
failed, Notwithstanding that in several
instances the current was set in motion
from a point as far distant as San
Francisco.
In the future government officials
will see to it that all wires connected
with charges of powder are insulated
before leaving exposed to possible con-
tact with wireless waves.

ALMOST WASTE ORE HANDLED
Nevada Consolidated Is Treating Less
Than One Per Cent Copper Ore

Ely naturally is taking pride in the
report that the Nevada Consolidated
Company is mining ore averaging 0.S
per cent copper, transporting il about
20 miles and milling it at a good profit.
This doubtless is the lowest grade Of
copper ore being treated anywhere. The
company is mining on an average of
1000 tons of this ore daily, and one Sec
ton of the Steptoe concentrator is
devoted to this task,
The ore comes from the south end OF
the Copper Flat pit and it was developed
in the process Of mining the better
grade copper rock that has been sent to
the mill. Such a quantity of this low
grade material had been developed that
something had to be done with it. 1t
had to be removed to the waste dumps
or handled and the management de-
cided TO attempt its treatment more in
the form of an experiment than any.
thing else.
This illustrates TO what fine point
the management has brought the treat
ment of low-grade copper ores.-Salt

Great Northern railroad.
The newspaper men and others pres
