DETAILS OF
EXPLOSION iT ELY

The Ell Expositor in its account
of the explosion at Copper Flat in
which ten men were blown to
atoms on Sunday, says:
The men were engaged in load Z.
ing two churn drill holes, on level
or bench No. 6 on the west side of
the big Copper Flat pit. These
holes were drilled within six feet
of the outer edge of the bank.
One of them had been loaded and
everything about it gotten in
readiness for firing. The ew
then moved to the second hol7, the
loading Of which they were
engaged in WI en- the explosion of
tile Hercules powder, several cases
Of which were piled nesr the edge
of the hole so as to be handy for
loading, took place. So sudden
and so unexpected did it occur, and
with such terrific force that
the ten men inthe immediate neigh
borhood were hurled through
the air and portions of their
anatomies scattered broadcast for
hundreds of feet in all directions.
Only those whose tongues are
now siIenced could possibly assign
the cause of the accident. There
are two causes to which might be
attributed the explosion of tile
powder. One to the effect that a
live spark from the >team shovel
on the level above might have
lgnited the powder. This reason
seems to be very plausible and
probable, since there is evidence
on the northeast side of the drill
hole of something having been
burne'. In fact, it is stated by
Phey, the driller, that he saw a
pile Of waste packing ablaze just
before the explosion took place.
| The other cause could be attri-
buted to the careless handling of
the powder, which had it been
long exposed to the heat of the
sun, would cause more or less of
the glycerine to seep out and
render it easily susceptible to ex.
plosion by a sudden jar. In break.
ing open the cases containing the
powder had !here been force used
or had one of them dropped
violently to the ground the
jar caused thereby would have
been sufficient to have caused the
explosion. However. these are
merely vague prescriptions. No
living person knows now, nor will
they evr know what actually
caused the explosion of yesterday.
A large mass of arms, legs, flesh
and portions of the trunks of the
human body was all that could be
gathered up to represent seven
men whose lives were lost.

S. P. WILL NOT
BRING IN UTAH HAY

LIE RECENT agitation SCdfCSO In
this and Humboldt counties.
against the importation of Utah
hay. through the fear of the intro
duction Of the alfalfa weevii,
one of the most destructive pests
kown to farmers, has not been
without results. 1t has demon
strated one thing to a nicely, how
ever, and that is the absence of
statute on the states law hooks to
cover the situation. Whatever is
accomplished in the effort of the
state officials to preclude the
importation of Utah hay through
railroad construction in this state
must come from moral force, for
there is no legal steps that can be
taken. according to Governor
Oddie, who has reviewed the situa-
tion splendidly.
AS result of the governor
activities, the Southern Pacific
Officials have given a promise that
a careful check will be kept upon
the matter and that any attempt
of the Utah Construction company,
a concern having in hand practic-
ally all of the projected railroad
work in the state, to bring hay
into Nevada from it's home state
will be thwartt which is a
reasonable conclusion, for intro
duction of the Utah weevil into
Nevada would undoubtedly result
in wlping out the alfalfa raising
industry and would directl, affect
the railroads traffic.
The insidious weevils or beetles
hibernate during the winter
months in bales of hay, hay stacks
or piles of rubbish, leaving their
places of concealment along in
March or April only to Immediately
seek the growing alfalfa, in the
stems of which the females coHI-
mence to lay their eggs. These
soon hatch into small worm like
larvae, which feed on the leaves
and grow to maturity as the sea-
son advances. In this stage the
weevil does the most damage to
the crops, the females the while
continuing to lay eggs we'll into
the summer. Three or four adult
weevils brought into hay section
of this state would breed unnotic-
ed and in few years the united
efforts of both the state and
feheral government would be re-
CURED to hold the pest in check.
Having discovered no eff cacious
means for the determination of
the weevil, the hight must be
fought every year, and this is
what is happening in Utah, where
it has proved a positive curse. 1t
is pointed out by the government
experts studying the question, that
there is not so much danger in
alfalfa seed importation as from
bay, for the reason that the weevil
is larger than the seed and easily
distinguished from it but in this
connection. they say that in order
that all danger should be eliminat-
ed not pound of Utah seed
should be used in this state

Tho American school plant Is valued
at more than 1000, 900, 900, and as
used for school purposes alone utilizes
but thirtynine per cent. Of the time
which could be given to the needs OF
the community. This, according to the
National Magazine. represents total
loss OF school plants to the country
of more than s30,000.00o every year.
An active movement Is now taking
place to turn school property during
the summer months into childrens
Fairgrounds and places OF amusement
and to make them the center OF recre-
alton. OF political and social life. the
same as in country places. where they
serve many purposes, oftentimes even
for church services.
Evening schools. free lectures. In
door sports, folk dances, civic and ed
ucational meetings and gynnasuc ex-
ercises are among the things men
toned for which school plants should
be utilized 1t is proposed by some
to have the schoolhouses opened
every day OF the week, Sundays In
cluded, 30 that the community may
get the greatest possible benefit from
them.
