bins from the mine, and 406 tons
from the Jacket dump. There was
shipped from the mill to the smelter
three bars of bullion. At the sur
face of the Jacket $50 tons were sent
to the glory hole from the shaft, and
at the mine bins there was received
sos tons of Belcher ore, and 451
tons of Crown Point mine rock. Re-
pairs were made to the shaft and in
cline and the 1900 station.
The Belcher company continued
the extraction of ore, recovering ia
cars of low grade ore from the
north drift No. 1 on the 1900 level,
which was extended and timbered 16
feet to the 11S-foot point. From the
sill and first floors of raise No. 1 on
this level, 1873 cars of ore were re-
covered. Raise No. 1 on the 1900
level yielded go cars OF ore from the
sill and first floor. The water In the
joint incline was held 95 feet below
the 1900 level on the incline.
Raise No. 1 on the 1900 level of
the Crown Point gave a large tom
mage of low grade ore, 564 cars be-
ing taken from the sill, fifth and
seventh floors. Repairs were made
on the 400 level to south drift
No. 1.
The Overman company on the 1900
level cleared out and repaired the
main east crosscut for a distance of
20 feet. Total length in good re-
pair 462 feet.
At the Confidence-Challenge-Im-
perial shaft, at a point 20S feet in
the south drift, an east crosscut was
started and advanced 13 feet, with
the face in low grade ore.
The Caledonia company continued
the raise from the 100 level, and 1t
was carried up ten feet through clay
and porphyry. Total height of raise

MASON VALLEY MINE
SHIPPING STEADILY
PLANT NEARLY READY FOR
OPERATIONS

The Mason Valley nine is keeping
up its shipments to the smelIer. This
weeks shipments amounted to over
ing plant at the smelter is about
ready for operations and will be
started up next week. This plant
has been installed after many expert
ments which have proved very sue
c~essful. The plant will handle about
20 tons of ore a day and was con-
structed for the purpose of trying out
the process or a commercial scale.
The process will handle all kinds of
copper ore, but s~ulphides will first
have to be roasted. If this little
plant works successfully in all ways
a much larger plant will be installed
as copper can be produced much
cheaper by this process than in any
other manner.
Quite a number of miners we're
laid off at the Nevada-Douglas this
week, but some development work is
still in progress. Only 333 tons of
ore went to the smeIter this week.
The construction of the new teaching
plant is going ahead. The company
has been getting some exceptionally
good results from experiments with
this process and finds that it is going
to be able to reduce very materially
the cost items in connection with the
process. The company is not anxious
under present conditions to keep a
great force of miners at work, nor
will it increase the force, probably
until the teaching plant is in opera

ciates, who have a lesase on a portion
of the Wheeler mine in the Mount
Grant section, having extracted quite
a quantity of ore and are about to
start up the little mill at the mine
on a run. Frank Meyers will have
charge of the mill. The boys have a
2-foot vein of nice milling ore that
will probably run $40 to $25, and a
the hundreds. The boys stand to
make a little money out of the lease.
The Empire-Nevada company is
shipping a lot of 500 tons of ore to
the smelter. This ore is to be tried
out in the teaching plant which is
about completed, in fact, a portion
of which is now ready to operate. In
all likelihood much more than this
5O0-ton lot of ore will eventually go
to this plant at Thompson.-Yering.

BUREAU OF MINES HAS DISCOVERED
DANGER FROM EXPLOSIONS IN MILLS

more recent years have been traced
to the introduction of foreign mate
rails into grinding machines. Par
ticles of such materials, coming into
contact with the grinding plates of
the machines, produce sufficient
sparks to cause an ignition of the
dusts.
ct is necessary in mills and eleva-
tors for the workmen to determine at
frequent intervals the amount of
grain that the storage bin contains.
A common practice is to lower a light
of some kind into the bin to observe
or measure the quantity of grain.
Many explosions have occurred when
open lights were used. The desired
results can be obtained by lowering
a tape with a weight attached to the
end, and the exact measurement can
be recorded. When occasion renders
it absolutely necessary to use a lamp
of some kind in a bin, an approved
type Of portable electric lamp could
be used. Electric bulbs in dusty
a~tmospheres located near machinery
where there is a possibility of the
lamp becoming broken, or at points
in the mill where workmen may
strike the lamp, especially when car
rying a projection of some kind on
their shoulder, should be enclosed in
strong wire guards or protectors. and
it would be advisable to eiclose each
bulb in a vapor-proof globe. An ex-
ira safety feature would be, whenever
possible, to locate all fuses on light
and power circuits, switches and
starting boxes at points where dust
is not present in dangerous quanti-
ties"

Today's golf, beginning as a
society fad in the United
States, has become a pastime
at which a vast fortune, esti-
mated as high as 100000
is spent every year in the Unit
ed States. There are said to
be more than 100000 active
players who are driving the
gutta percha balls over links
whose combined acreage in
the United States is nearly
twice as large as the District
of Columbia. Some of the
American club houses are YER
liable mansions; one in the
middle west has cost to date
$750,0OO for the golfing
course, the club house and the
equipment. The exact amount
of money reaped annually by
the American caddies is not
definitely known, but it prob
ably equals the amount paid
in Great Britain, which is es-
timated at $12,500,0 900.
Other items that go to make
up the annual tribute to golf
are clubs and balls. The
value of the clubs in use is
estimated at nearly $1,000
900, while the balls are val
ued at over 100000 Golf
has spread throughout the
world. In Europe there is
scarcely a country without
it's golf links and players. ia
pan has one of the finest
courses in the world. Mexico
is rapidly becoming known
for it's links. While all class
es have taken to the sport
with enthusiasm, kings and
queens, not to mention the
lesser lights of royalty and the
nobility, are ardent devotees.
King Alfonso has his private
links in Spain and has taught
his English-born queen to
play the game. The German
emperor, prohibited by a ply
steal ailment from participant
ing in the sport. nevertheless
is an enthusiast and frequent
ly follows his son. the crown
prince, about the links at
Potsdam. President Wilson
and his predecessor, Mr..

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-That
the same degree of care exercised in
a mine to prevent the explosion of
coal dust should be used in flour
mills, grain elevators and grain-pro-
ducts factories to guard against the
Explosion of grain dusts is the on
clusion reached by experts as the re-
suit of a cooperative investigation
made by the millers of the country
and the United States bureau of
mines.
The milling industry In the last ter
years has been visited by a series of
mysterious explosions costing several
hundred lives and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in property. The
explosion in a Buffalo, N. Y, mill
killed thirty-three men and injured
seventy. The millers, realizing hat
the bureau of mines men were experts
ON coal dust explosions, called upon
them for assistance in a complete in
vestigation, in order that future
catastrophes might be avoided. David
j. Price, of the bureau of mines, was
assigned to the work under the direc-
ttion of DR.. George A. Hulett, chief
chemist of the bureau, and Harold
H. Brown represented the millers.
The mines experts declare that ali
dusts containing carbon are explosive
under certain conditions and that i'm
mediate steps should be taken to
safeguard against such. They de-
scribe a terrific explosion in a grain
elevator and say: I'VE are forced to
conclude that, if an explosion with
such terrible force and violence could
occur at this elevator, then the grain
elevators of the country are at all
times subject to the possibility of a
similar occurrence if favorable cOndi-
tions exist. Many milling men have
maintained a false sense of security,
and have felt that the elevators were
not especially a sOurc of danger; and
that as long as an explosion did not
originate in the grinding mill proper,
they we're reasonably safe. This ex-
plosion alone would seem to indicate
sufficiently that the dusts created
during the elevating and storing of
grain are explosive and dangerous"
On the subject of the causes Of
grain dust explosions, the experts
says: AT the present time in mod
ern milling plants the use of an open
flame light is positively prohibited,
and is generally regarded as an ele-
ment of very great danger. Many ex-
plosions have been traced to this
our The use of gas jets for light
ing purposes, the introduction of lam
terms or open lights into grain bins
or dust collecting systems are very
dangerous.
MANY violent explosions have oc-
Cured during mill fires, due to the
presence of dust in large quantities.
The flames and force from a fire pro-
duce sufficient conclusion to jar the
dust into suspension and initiate a
very violent explosion.

GROWTH OF GOLF IN AMERICA
THEN


Twenty years ago today the
first American championship
golf match was played. The
game was then considered a
society fad and was played in
a regal setting at Newport,
r. L. OF the twenty contest
ants, w. G.. Lawrence of New
port was declared the winner
and the first American anna
teur champion. Golf in the
United States is said to date
from the establishment of the
st. Andrews golf club at Yon-
ers, N. Y, in 1888. South
Carolinians, however, claim
that it was played in their
state a century before, and
point to the files of the
Charleston City Gazette. where
an item under date of Sep
TENDER IS, 1888, states:
&c. . there is lately erected
that pleasing and genial
amusement, the golf baan."
Golf was played in Scotland,
said by many to be its place
of birth, generations before
Columbus made known that
there was an America. One
prominent American educator
has said that he read an &C
count of a golf game written
by the ancient Aristotle, and
had found reference to the
sport in the bible. 1t is also
claimed that Holland was its
place of origin. In the earli-
est records of Scottish history,
literature and even legislation,
golf occupies a prominent
place. Over four centuries
ago the sport had so over
whelmed archery, the soldiers
training, that the Scottish leg
islature decreed that "the fut
ball and golf be utterly cryit
doun and nocht usit." For
hidden to the masses, it re-
manned a royal pastime. King
James II played a game with
an Edinburgh shoemaker;
Queen Mary was found play
ing on the links two days aft
er the death of her royal con-
sort, Darnley. The news OF
the great Irish rebellion came
to King Charles I while he
was lifting the ball over the
links at Leith.

White Deer Ranch

W. D. Jchrser, who conducts the
hitch barn, says there is a white deer
ranch near Sarona. A citizen of that
place found white fawn nearly fam
ished and succeeded in raising it. A
game warden came along and took TIE
animal away but the neighbors came
to the rescue with a protest and the
warden returned the animal. The
white deer is perfectly tame and is
considered a great curiosity in that
part OF Wisconsin.
