Is Patented

The new explosive and the machinery for its manufacture was patented by a California company. State rights are dis trbuted for so much money. Crawford Johnson and MT. Bowron, the latter a brother of James Bowron, president of the Southern Iron and Steel company, made a trip to California, where demon strations were seen and other facts looked over which convinced the local business men of the virtue of the ex- plosives.
 It is said to be twice or three times as powerful as dynamite and cannot be ex- pioded under any circumstances except when confined. Mr. BoWron said yester- day his confidence in the explosive was such that many cases of it were stored in his residence at Chattanooga, and he was not one bit apprehensive about the safety of his wife and children.
 During the demolition of the foundation for the new Los Angeles Times building Mr. Bowron said yesterday two weeks were occupied in an effort to dynamite the foundation away. Finally utahnite was used, and in two days the foundation was cleared and not one window broken in the neighborhod of the excavation.
