account of trouble among themselves
Were forced to give the property up
and it is now being worked by the
owners. There is an excellent showing
of 200 feet of rich ore, from seven to

About Alum in Bakers Bread.

The Omaha Master Bakers Associa.
tion makes the following statement:
:" The impression now exists that alum
is used in whitening bread Once for
all ! want to set the public right about
this matter. Let me say so emphati
cally that it cannot be misunderstood,
bread bakers do not now, and never
have Cat least within the memory OF
amy man now living used alum in
bread. 1t cannot be found in any
bakery on the continent, and | chal-
lenge any person to show any such
basis of fact for such statements. That
the bread baking industry may be set
right with the public ] herewith make
the following offer: ''The Omaha Mas
ter Bakers Association Will pay to any
charity in Omaha which may be named
by the Omaha Daily News the sum of
$500 for proof that it now or ever has
been the custom of bread bakers, here
or anywhere else on the American Con-
tinent, to use alum in bread.''
The Grangeville bakery is open for in
spection. The baker has no secrets
Any man or woman in this community
is welcome to visit my bakery at any
time to see the bread made and to in
spect and analyze every ingredient
which is used. It has been said by
business men of our town that ] used
alum in my bread. If this statement
is made again some one may have to
prove it.

An Accident Pointed the Way 70 ths
Original Process.
In 1742 Thomas Bolsover. q me
chanic Of Shefield. Engla nd. discovered
the art Of silver plating. He was re-
pairing the handle Of a knife In which
both copper and silver were used. Ac.
cidentally the two metals were fused
together. Based upon this observation
he developed the new process.
Upon q thick ingot Of copper be
bound by iron wire thinner ingot Of
silver The whole was then heated In
a reverberatory furnace until the edges
Of the silver ingOt were observed to
begin to melt. The two ingots were
then removed from the furnace. slowly
cooled and picked. cleaned and rolled
to the desired thickness. The result
was a plate Of copper more or lea
thinly covered with silver on one side
+ This was the nrst Sheffleld plate
For fifty years following the copper
was plated on one side only and thu
cut edges showed the copper. Latel
the process was 80 perfected that M
copper was left exposed. All the sill

this process until electvplating wa!

credit of discovering that the flame OF

gauze having 7S4 nfeshes to the square
inch. This contention may be tested
by bringing flame in contact with
similar gauZe. when it will be found
that the flame will moi go through the
