HOW BRITISH MAKE EXPLOSIVES

LONDON, Feb. 10.-How
the British make their explosives is
described by a writer who has given
permission to go through a factory
now turning out much of the mater
ial used in the British and French
shells.
The factory grounds are connect
ed by telephones and tram lines,
says the writer, and in addition to
theb uildings there r a number Of
entertainments. Some of the sheds
are highly dangerous. First among
these comes the nitrating room, in
which a tank filled with a mixture
of nitric and sulphuric acid is kept
in a state of violent agitation by
means of compressed air jets shot
up from the bottom. Above the
acid a small stream of pure glycer-
inc trickles in. Below the vat is a
pool of water in which the watts con-
tents could be drowned were the
mixing to go wrong. The acids
when mixed with the glyverine be-
come nitro-glycerine, ten times more
powerful than gun powder and like
ly to explode at the slightest shock.
The fumes arising from the tank
are closely watched while the con-
tents are cooled by ean of chill
ed brine forced through a coil of
pipes at the bottom. Should the
slightest trace of red appear the at
tendants must drown the stuff on
the second.
When ready the crude explosive
runs through lead pipes to another
room. There it is allowed to settle
in watts and the surface is skinned
off. If the compound has not been
properly mixed a ring of peacock
green appears on the surface of the
tank and the attendants dash out of
the building to save themselves If
they can.
The third building is devoted to
the washing of the nitro-glycerine
to get rid of the excess free acid.
Two washings are gone through, the
first in pure water agitated by COM
pressed air jets and the second time
in water to which a strong solution
of soda has been added to neutral
ize the remaining traces of acid.
Nitro-glycerine is now used for
many purposes in the form already
reached, but to make dynamite 1t
is taken to a fourth shed where fine
ly ground wood pulp and Chilean
saltpeter are added. This yellowish
soapy mixture is harmless unless
fired by a strong concussion. gener-
ally a car of fulminatt of mercury,

merest touch.
Dynamite is rarely used in torpe-

O'l,RIEN REFUSES TO
GO ON WITH SUDENBERG

Because Jim O'Brien, who was to
have met Johnnie ~Sudenberg in the
main event of a boxing card at the
H%ippodrome theater tonight, and
the management were unable to ar
rive at satisfactory terms in regard
to the percentage which O'Brien was
to receive should he win, that part
of the show has been called off.
The card which will be staged to-
night reads: "Speck" Duffy and
Jimmie Welsh, ten rounds; Johnnie
Morrison and Kid Davis, six rounds;
Pete Morris and Kid Wilson, four
rounds. Because of the change the
prices of seats were lowered consid-
erably. The first preliminary will
begin at $40 o'clock. All of the
bouts will be handled by Billie Shue,
sporting authority of the Northern
gymnasium.

SECOND TRIAL
OF PAT finn
HE is CHARGED WITH MURDER
OF POSTMASTER JONES
OF Ida

The second trial of Pat Finn,
charged with the murder of Post
master Jones of Ida, who was shot
down from behind his woodpile in
the rear of his house by an assassin
armed with a shotgun on March %,
1914, and died the next morning
without r~egaining consciousness,
was begun this afternoon before
Judge Edward A. Quicker of the dis
trict court of Humboldt county. The
session this afternoon was confined
to the impaneling of a jury. A We
uire of eighty men was subpoenaed
for the case, sixteen of whom we're
taken from Millers, two from Fish
Lake, five from Blair and the re-
mainder from Goldfield. Milton M.
Detch and Augustus Tilden are rep
resenting the defendant and the pro-
secution is being handled by District
Attorney Diskin.
In the first trial, which resulted
in a disagreement after the jury had
been out many hours, the final bal
lot standing seven to five for con-
viction, J. Emmett Walsh, now judge
of the district court, was associated
in the defense, and as a result was
not eligible to sit on the bench in
the present trial.

OLD MILL TAILINGS
ARE TO Be WORKED

Property along the river
in the vicinity of the old quartz
mills are preparing for a lively sum-
mer season in recovering the gold
and silver values which we're lost
by the old processes used in the re-
duction of the res. Mr.. Logy and
associates have secured the old Nor
gan mill and men are now on the
ground preparing for the starting of
big work early in the spring. The
Brunswick property will be worked
again on the same plan as the op-
erations of last season. They recov--
cred thousands of dollars last year
with their system, which is a good
M 1t is understood that the Mer--
rimac ground has been leased and
work will be commenced on this
ground as soon as the weather will
permit.
Abe Ambrose is the owner of the
Santiago and Vivian mill sites and
has made some contract with the l..
P. S. Extraction company of Phila-
delphia. This company also has a
lease on the Mexican mill at EN-
pire, which is also owned by Am
brose and will do extensive work
this season.
A company has been formed to
work the Eureka mill property and
work will also be done at the Frank"
lin, Ophir, Esmeralda and Rocky
Point mills.
1t is estimated that millions upon
millions of dollars worth of ore was
run through these mills from the
Comstock and that millions of dol.
lars was run into the river in the
tailin,gs and the developments OF
the past few years have tended to
show that the greater portion OF
the values are in a form which can
be recovered by the turning of the
river at various points and scooping
out the sand and clay of the river
bed which can then be worked by
modern processes and all values re.

No popular sailor is so little
known TO the British people as Ad-
miral Jellicoe. Yet the admiral has
an adventurous record and has three
times in his career recovered from
wounds that were at first believed
10 be fatal.
Jeilicoe comes of a family of
French extraction and his father "a
a sailor. AS a midshipman he ex-
celled his fellows in his studies and
attention to duty and won nearly
all the prizes offered on his train
ing ship. He took part in the bonn
bardment of Alexandria, fought at
Tel-elKebir, and had a narrow es-
cape from drowning when the Vic
toria sank. He also fought during
the Boxer rebellion in China. AS
an administrator his career was no
less distinguished, for he served as
director of naval ordnance and as
comptroller Of the navy.
A writer describes him as a slen-
der man below the average height
with clam gray eyes and an air OF
perfect confidence. At the same
time there is a lurking sense of hui
NOR in the lines about the eyes and
mouth. In his small, wiry figure, he
resembles the late Lord Roberts.
Admiral Jellicoe has always been
popular with the enlisted men Of
the navy, by whom he is known va
riously as Jackey-Oh. Hellfire Jack
and also as Silent Jack from the fact
that he seldom speaks unless he
wants something done.
