DO YOU WISH TO
BE ON THE LIST?

Though it is yet early in July and the
summer resorts are generally filled near
~ to capacity. This was foreseen by
most hotel and cottage proprietors and
preparations were made for a record in
f1Ux of guests. With the constant shift
ing Of the visitors no one will fail to find
accommodations and Maine will probably
make valuable additions to her constant
ly increasing list of guests who return
year after year.
It is in this regard that the tidal wave
Of summer visitors will be Of most per-
manent value in Maine. II the guests
who are coming to Maine this year for
the first time find suitable accommoda-
tons, congenial company and scenery to
their liking, they will return again and
again.
All of this activity is not confined to
the sea shore or the lakes. Some of the
visitors prefer the quiet Of farm life
among the hills. This business Is no,
well organized or extensively advertised
Through cooperation the farmers de-
string to entertain guests could get In
touch with a large clientage with money
to spend. Lists of such places. compiled
and advertised for commercial purposes
are looked upon with suspicion, by both
the farmer and the vacationist. for both
think the tourist bureau will place a
guest without regard to location or othe,
conditions so long as the fee is paid.
On this account it is the desire of the
Develop Maine Movement, which cannot
charge a fee for its services, to act as
an Intermediary between the people who
want to pass their vacations on Maine
farms and the farmers who want to en-
terrain summer guests. Suggestions as
to how this may be done will be appre-
ciated by the officers of the Movement.
Letters should be addressed to P. o. Box

A matter which is at present puzzl-
ing some of the people on Sewall street
is just what caused a big cave-in last
Thursday night OF portion of Everett
S. Halls front yard. The cavern was
discovered Friday morning when
perfectly circular hole about five feet
across was discovered where there
had been grass ground the night be-
fore. Underneath the surface the area
of the hole was about 5x10 feet and its
depth six feet. The cavity had been
stoned up to height Of three feet,
then covered with tUo-inch oak plank.
and on top Of the plank was a covering
Of earth and sod. Just what was the
original purpose of the cavity no one
seems 10 know and it's presence was
unknown to some of the oldest people
of that immediate neighborhood. The
place where the cave-in occurred was
directly under that portion of the ward
where Mr. Hall formerly had his
driveway but which is now erased
over.

United Verde Extension

Shipments from the United Verde Extension mine were started last March and for the six months up to September they aggregated $341, ,265 or at the rate of S700, 900 per annum. These shipments have been at the rate of only g. tons per day but the new hoist has been completed and by the first of the year the company should be shipping at the rate of 100 tons per day while the hoist has a capacity of between 200 and 300 tons.
 The upraise has proved the ore from the 1200-foot level to the 100-foot level and every confidence is felt in the ore extending downward although no ef- fort as vet has been made to reach the ore on the lower or 1400-foot level
 It is probable now that the new hoist
 is in working order that the drift on
 the 1400-foot level will be carried over
 under the ore body found on the
 higher levels.
 Shipments of high grade ore have run between % and 50 per cent cop per. while second grade has run be- twen 13 and 26 per cent copper.
 Shipments have been going to th' | Copper Queen smelter and the ore Ina. 1 been carried out on mule backs, bu the tramway is now practically com | pleted and will connect the mine witt l the railway so that shipments will b. l facilitated and expenses reduced.

A View on Copper

A large interest in the copper mar ket states that the present position of the metal is the best it mad been in years. Never before has he seen such a sound condition, and he pre- diets. that 2oc pound will be reached soon unless all signs fail and the buying of the metal ceases abruptly.
 There is an absolute scarcity of spot copper, this authority stated, and in fact there is not much of the metal available before January 1. Even for the first month Of next year there is not a great quantity to be had

VARIETY IN EXPLOSIVES
Hundreds of Kinds are Known, But the Most Unstable is IodiGe of Nitrogen, Which a Fly
 Can Explode

Explosives are solids which. under certain conditions, suddenly change into heated gus occupying many times the original space of the solids Ordinary gunpowder when fired. turns into gas of which the volume is 40O0 times as great as that of the powder. No wonder the bullet in front of it leaves the muzzle of the rifle in a hurry.
 Today there are scores. even hun ireds, of different sorts of explosives known to science. Some such as lyd- Gite, require very considerable shock 10 explode them Others, such as nitro -glycerine. are fearfulIy dan gerous to handle, for a few extra de- grees Of warmth or a very slight jar is sufficient to turn them instantly into gas.
 Of the latter type there is nothing quie 50 unstable as iodide of nitrogen. 1 It has to be made in alcohol. When allowed to dry it appears as brown 1 powder. and so unstable Is this pow i der that touch with a feather will 1 set it off The experiment has been l tried of leaving a few grains upon Ia table mixed with d grain of sugar ! The first bluehottle that flew on the 1 table and began to crawl among the l grains caused am explosion.
 1 The mere jarring of the air by a loud shout or a heavy footstep is suf- ] ficiept to detonate iodide of nitrogen
 and it need hardly oe added that nc one in his senses would attempt tc
 make this terrible stuff. To do so ir any quantity would be equivalent |, committing suicide.
 Nitro -glycerine is not so dangerous
 as this iodide, but at temperatur, of only loo degrees that is. very lit tie more than the warmth of the hu
 man body it begins to decomrose.
 Tons of nitro-Glycerine arc turne, l out every day, for it :s the cNplosiv
