the food to bits and scattering 1t around

him busy for some time. Then, right
under the shelf on which the jar stood,
was a keg in which were 4 few pounds
Of powder.
Slipping out to the back of the shed
the boy stuck some straw In where a
board was broken. then dropped some
dry rags around the outside of the hole.
He lit a match and set the rags on fire,
then dashed to the cabin. which was

In few minutes there was a boom,

in a cloud OF smoke. and out of II all

The test run of pebbles from the

mont mill in Tonopah is proceeding
says the Manhattan Post.
The use of the native rock has been
on now for three weeks at the same
rate of feed that was employed in
the case of the imported stock and
no difference can yet be noled, eth
er in consumption of pebbles, or IN
grinding power.
More accurate data will be availa-
bic when the mill is opened at the
end of the month.
The Wesl End management has
also made arrangements for partial
OF possibly entire use of the Maris
pebbles putting i'll five ton motor

pebbles at this mill amounts to about
fifteen tons month

ing the use of the new material a
