WOULD RATHER GO TO JAIL
THAN TO BOTTOM OF THE SEA
American Falls Boy Shows Excellent
Judgment In Selecting Place TO Go
to, But Gets into Trouble Over IL.

Arthur w. Palmer, an American
Falls boy, is involved in a lawsuit in
New York, of such an unusual nature
as to attract attention all over the
country. The Associated Press dis
patches last Sunday carried the story,
and all that is known locally was
contained therein. Arthur left here
about four years ago, and enlisted in
the navy. His enlistment recently ex-
pired, after which he went to New
York and signed as stoker son the
Michigan, boat that plies between
New York and Liverpool. The Mich
igan was about ready to leave New
York when Palmer discovered that
she carried contraband of a nature
that would endanger her in the war
zone established by Germany, and he
at once notified the captain that he
would not have the pleasure of ac-
companying him IL the vessel left port
with contraband aboard. The cap
tain insisted that he would either go
or go to jail. The case was taken into
court and the decision was against
Palmer The boy informed the Judge
that he would prefer going to Jail than
to the bottom of the ocean, and was
given his choice. After being held in
jail a few days he was released and
has filed suit against the steamship
company for $4,000 damages.
The young man is a son of M. Pal
mer. one of the pioneers OF this To-
cality and is well known. While his
friends here have no grudge against
the steamship company they would
like to see him win the suit. All are
agreed that he showed good judgment
in selecting jail as against a chance
of going to the bottom of the ocean
in the war zone

COPPER AND THE WAR.
Gold and the Red Metals Essential to
Prolons the Struggle.

II tdi SOiSs1
This has been called a gold war; and
so it is in a sense. But II is even more
emphatlcally a copper war.
War can be waged on credit for =
while or ON a silver basis, as did
Japan. But cut off the supply of cop
per, and sooner or later nowadays a
war comes automatically to an end.
This is because the red metal enters
into the composition, in greater or
less degree, of nearly all the munitions
of war. Take for instance, projectiles
for big guns. Round the base of each
one of these is band of copper, which,
when the gun is fired, expands, and
grips the interior rifling of the wea-
pom, causing the projectile TO rotate.
1t also serves another, and Il very i'm
portant purpose. BY its expansion at
the very moment the charge ignites,
the explosive gases are held in check
as it were, and forced to expand all but
tiny fraction of their energy in driv-
ing the projectile through the bore Of
the piece
If, however, Germany merely wanted
enough copper to enable her to make
these bands for her big gun projectiles
she could probably supply the demand
within her own borders-she produces
about $4,000 tons per annum-or, at all
events, she would be able to smuggle
in enough from professedly neutral
neighbors But there are other de-
mands for the metal which are far
more insistant, and notably that in
connection with small arms ammuni-
ton, that is to say, rifle cartridges.
These are made of solid drawn brass;
no other substance will do, because all
others are liable to jam in the barrel,
Now ordinary brass contains three
parts of copper to two of zinc, but the
fine brass from which cartridges are
made consists of three parts of copper
to one of zinc.
Experts state that 10 tons of cop
per are required for 100000 rounds
of small arm ammunition. Consequent
ly every cartridge contains rather less
than half an ounce of copper One has
only to bear these facts in mind, and
to remember also that it has been COM
puted that on an average about 10000
900 of cartridges are being fired away
daily in the various theaters of the
war to realize how absolutely vital il
is to Germany that her imports of cop
per should not be materially interfered
with.

He authorized the announcement that

STORK GETS OIL LAND.
Unusual Bet Won BY an Oklahoma
Creek Indian.


/ A half section of oil land in this vi
cinity, clifton, oklahoma, now worth IN
fee at least 100000. belonging to q
suuaw man among the Creek Indians
as the result of deal in futures that
he made a number of years ago.
He made the bet and won. The bot
was that he and his wife would become
the parents of two more children with
in certain length of time. And they
did. The additional half section of
land that he thus secured when the
Creeks were allotted constituted the
allotments of the two children, and
the land has proved to be the most
valuable that he obtained.
This squaw man made the bet when
he was having surveyed a tract OF land
that would be his following the allot-
ment, 1t contained six quarter sec
tions. one each for his wife and five
children After the surveyor had COM
pleted his work the squaw man said
to him:
"Now go back and survey out two
more quarters"
But have surveyed the full
amount that you are entitled to-" pro-
tested the surveyor
"That is true" laughingly replied
the squaw man, but remember that
my wife and I are both in good health
and we have planned to have the storlt
visit us twice again in the future"
The surveyor ran the lines around
the additional half section of land the
stort later made his two visits and
these children, still minors. are re-
outed to be among the wealthiest In
liam children in the state.

Economical Use of Explosives
R. Noblett in Mining Press.

1t seems worth while to set forth te
mining men, and especially to the mi
ner, some of my experiments their re-
tsults, and conclusions reached in the
economical use of explosives in mining
Most of these experiments were made
with the explosives most generally
used, 40 per cent dynamite and 40 per
cent gelatine. My first experiment was
made when driving a drift which re-
quired seven holes to each round This
drift was driven about 200 feet
before l went into it. The rock was
soft and easily broken with powder.
AS it was prospect drift, the manager
wished to drive it without timber if it
could be safely done The round was
composed of one back hole, two blast
holes, two cut-holes, and two filters.
This round of holes was in general use
at the mine when driving in country
rock, and thousands of feet of driving
was done each month.
The charge of power in general use
for each round was SO sticks of 40 per
cent gelatine. l began my work in the
drift with go sticks to the round. Three
sticks was the charge given the back
hole, and it was found to be too much
I reduced it to two sticks and used two
sticks of tamping on top of the charge.
] made the sticks of tamping by wrap
ping paper around the loading stick
closing the paper over the end of the
stick, Withdrawing the stick and filing
the paper tube with dry drillings. To
my intense-suprise, this charge was
worse than the former one Of three
sticks. ! reduced it to Y sticks. and
found that too much, and finally re-
duced it to one stick ! ran the drift
more than 500 feet using one stick, and
found it to be ample.
Makes Big Saving.
Having succeeded so well in this
experiment, | turned my attention to
the blast-holes. | had been using
sticks to each of these holes (most of
the miners We're using 81. reduced
from the to using stick of tamping
to each hole. I could see no difference
in the breaking, so I reduced the
charge to ~ sticks. with 2 sticks of
tamping to each hole. found by
that trial that it was not safe to make
any further reduction. then turned
my attention to the cut-holes | was
using sticks to each of these holes:
reduced this to az sticks with 2
sticks of tamping. This charge | used
for about two months and it never fail
I'd; in fact I got better results with 90
sticks to the round than | had when
Using ~. I found also that this reduct
on in powder was making enemies for
ne, and made no attempt to reduce
he charge in the filters. In fact | was
compelled to report more powder than
used each shift.
In regard to the tamplng. | have
sed this same form in raises and
topes as we'll as drifts, and prefer 1t
0 any other kind or form. 1t most
ertainly pays for the time ana paper '
