Eastern company win be in course Of construction A force of men is now employed grading a site for the pro posed three-compartmeat shaft and its attendant machinery equipment. This work is to be supplemented with in few days by the grading of a site for the mill at a point overlooking the broad fiat Go the north and west Of the present working shaft. The new shaft will be located in convenient proximity to the mill and an ample dumping ground for both will be af- lorded bE the flat before referred to
 The plans and specifications for the mine and mill buildings are completed and Managing Director George Long informs me that the machinery for both has been ordered The milling plant will have an initial capacity of 200 tons of ore per day and is to be SO constructed that additional units can be added as needed Crushers are to be used instead of stamps, the ore going from the crushers GO the tube mills and thence on to the cyan fde solution The mine machinery will be electrically driven and vii, have working capacity to a depth of 2OO0 feet lt includes an Ingersoll- Rand 9OO-cubic foot compressor, jack , hammers, drill sharpener and an Allis- Chalmers double-drum hoist
 Ample Water Supply
 The United Eastern company has developed its water right in the Silver Creek section too daily supply ap- proNimsting 6O.OOO gallons and will have the water piped to its mining 1 estate by the time the new mine and mill plants are in operation The ob. i jectiye of the new three-compartment i shaft is water level which, in the ] opinion of Mir Long, will bee reached at an approximate depth of $50 feet 1 It is the intention to utilize the mine water for milling purposes and there 1 after to con serve a certain quantity of the Silver Creek supply for domes ! tie use. The large bodies of high grade shipping and milling ores that
 are exposed in the present workings are to be mined through the medium . of the new shaft and as the latter is ] lowered will be opened at greater depth.

DISADVANTAGES OF SHORT FUSE

The object for using fuse for ignit. ing explosives is 10 allow the charge to be thoroughly tamped and confined and after lighting the exposed end to allow the miner ample time to get to a place of safety before the charge oXplodes To fulml its whole object. the fuse must extend from the char2u far enough out of the drill hole to aI- low time for the plaster to take COW err after lighting he fuse. The fuse must extend to the collar SO that the tamping may be done thorouehly. otherwise the whole of the explosive power is not realized and money val ne in explosive is thrown away.
 Some miners cut the fuse attached ro the cartridge SO that il is a foot long or less then light the fuse. and while it is sputtering ram the cart ridge into the hole and run They may sometimes, throw in a light tanning but their time is too short to tamr the charge, as the locality is distinct ly unhealthy for the time being.
 Why do they do it? To save fuse which costs from a third of a cent tc cent a foot
 By using a foot of fuse instead of or ft. they waste as much or more than this, because from lack of proper tamping only a part of the explosive power of Che dynamite is realized In the open, a foot of American fuss takes about 80 second 10 burn. but in the bore hole, even when tamped hur riedly and incompletely, lt is uabl, to burn faster
 What good will it do the miner tC save a few cents a day on fuse while he is wasting several cents day or dynamite?
 This practice of using short" fuse is wasteful of explosives, is dangerous and in the long run will injure or kil the miner

To-day William FIrnum, the original

masterpiece " Samson (not u Biblical
play) at the Regent Theatre. William
Farnum needs no introduction to the
theatregoeis of this city. He has ap-
peared in our local theatres where you
have paid 81 to see him. He appears in
one of the most extraordinary moving
picture productions featuring as "Sam-
son at the most beautiful theatre in
the city, the Regent.
Samson is play of tremendous
force and sustained dramatic action,
with climax following climax, in start
ling succession.
William Farnum plays the principal
part, that of Maurice Brachard, the
dock laborer who rose to be Samon of
finance, with terrific power and at
times with Il ferocity that is positively
stunning.
Reused to titanic wrath by the false
ness of his friends and by the fact that
the wife he worships spurns his devo-

the structure of wealth that he him
self has erected, ruins the rake who is
pursuing his wife and crushes the crowd

Court Declares That Alleged Minors
Looked to Be of Age

Towanda, Pa, Feb. 27.-Boyle's no
tel, at Rummerield, was granted Ii
cense by Judge Maxwell here yester
day. This application was objected to
on the grounds of no necessity and law
violations. Judge Maxwell ruled that
Rummerfeld being big shipping point
a hotel is necessary.
As to law violations. the Court says
the evidence is insufficient to warrant
refusal of the license The minors
named in the case are men in size and
appearance, and claimed to be of age
The Court said the hotel had been cor.
ducted as well and as safely as posi-
bic, and was entitled to a renewal of
the license.

The Chair of Torture

The most prominent building in the
ancient city of Nuremburg is the cas-
tie. One of its two towers was used
for torture; the other served as a pris-
on. The castle also contained a museum
of horrors until it was purchased by
the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, in
whose possession these relics now lie.
One of these was the chair of torture.
1t was very heavily made and studded
over the seat and at the elbows with
blunt topped spikes. To it the victim
was tightly bound, and in short time
discomfort began to manifest itself and
in time became UNDESIRABLE. During
its continuance the torture was increas-
ed in several ways by means of wedges
being passed between the legs and
screws being applied to the thumbs

ange trees in hammocks never before
penetrated by white men. While the In
dians confined the planting of their or
ange trees to the obscure hammocllS, as
a security against The intrusion of SOL
ders and the early white settlers. the
kSpaniards, few years afterWard, took
the seed from the fruit of the trees plant
ed by the red men and made groves out
in the open-on high land in the more
accessible places. And from this small
beginning in the sixteenth century. Flor
ida's leading industry grew to its pres
ent proportions.
When Ponce de Leon came to the
southcrnmoSt peninsula of North Ameri-
ca it was new country. He landed
near ST. Augustine on Easter Sunday,
and christened the territory Florida, the
Land of Flowers. He found Indians in
possession of the country, but had no
serious difficulty with them. In the years
following other Spaniards came and es-
tablished colonies. Then after the Span
ish came the British The indolent, slow
going Englishman found the orange fair
ly well established, and he very soon saw
in it the means of making comfortable
living with the expenditure of a mini
mum amount of labor. He planted
groves, gave them very little attention,
but gathered profitable crops As the
years passed, Florida became a very
popular rendezvous for the Remittance"
man-that is to say, the Englishman
whose home folks sent him across the
pond with the promise of regular re-
mittance so long as he remained away.
These settlers made more groves, tended
them when they felt so inclined, but
never failed to gather the fruits thereof
AS time passed more thrifty class of
settlers came to Florida, noticeably af-
ter the territory passed out of the pos
session of Great Britain to that of the
United States. Then the orange indus
try took on a new lease of life and was
developed along more satisfactory COM
mercial lines New methods of planting
and cultivating were introduced. The

efforts or retired from the orange grow
ing business. The romance was gone out
of the raising of citrus fruits. 1t had
proved its adaptability to the genial Flor
ida climate and hundreds of men came
into the state to engage in orange cul-
ture. For many years no other indus
try was followed, save, in the northern
sections where cotton was king and in

All the time is. sunshine time in Flor
ida's orange and grapefruit groves. That
is why Florida's citrus fruits have such
widespread reputation for superiority.
Sunshine, warmth, showers, dews and
semi-tropical ocean breezes are essential
in the production of the thin skinned,
fine texture, abundant juice, sweetness,
aroma and general health-giving proper
ties of oranges and grapefruit No sec
ton of this country can boast of official
records showing so many days of sun
shine as Florida. No locality is favored
with such generous and general distri-
button of gentle showers. No state in
the Union has SO many real growing
days.
There is practically no period in the
life of Florida citrus tree when it is
dormant. 1t is growing all the time
developing every day in the year. 1t
bursts forth into fragrant bloom in the
early spring when most of the country is
under mantle of snow. 1t then sets its
buds into fruits that grow and mature
during the late spring, summer and
early fall months. The ripened golden
globes are gathered in the winter, in time
for the evergreen tree to recuperate and
begin over again.
Florida! Oranges! These two words
have been closely associated for centu-
ries More than four hundred years ago
Ponce de Leon, that grand old Spanish
cavalier, with his retinuc, came to this
continent in search of the Fountain of
Youth. Among the stores on the three
vessels were oranges from Spain. In
their travels through Florida Ponce de
Leon and his followers either planted or
scattered the orange seed. These grew
into thrifty trees, and the native Indians,
finding the fruit pleasant to the palate,
planted groves of their own, and the or
ange was firmly established in Florida
soil never to be cradicated.
The Indians planted their groves in the
most out-of-the-way places, mainly in
isolated hammocks where they usually
established their camps. 1t is not unusu-
al, even today, to come across wild or
