Road from Delta to Naturia
Will Prove City's Best Asset

There is little doubt but that road
to Delta from Naturita would immedi-
ately become one of this city's best
assets From the mines out from Bed
rock new road is to be built up the
San Miguel river, which will cut off
ten miles of haul from the Sunrise
mine and shortens that of the Cliff
Dwellers. Cashin and from the mills
of the Standard Chemical company.
This road is also expected to give the
heavy freight wagons relief from the
present road to Placerville, and would
become directly a part of the road
leading to Delta. 1t is asserted that
the distance to Delta would be less
than to Placerville and that it would
be a better road and easier haul, in
as-much as about half of the haul
would be down grade instead of all of
it up grade, as is the present road to
Placerville. In addition to this it
would save 65 miles of railroad haul
and the expense of transferring from
narrow gauge to standard gauge. The
Paradox roads have much travel. In

It Is but comparatively a few years since oxy-

States BY the s-Bournvile Company OF New York
At the time it hard to convince those engaged
with the metal industries by demonstration that
cast iron, aluminium and other metals could be
fully welded by tiny flame and steel cut almost
rapidly wood by jet of oxygen The Oxy-aeety
lene flame produces temperature of $500 degrees and
is applied with pencil point concentration. The orig
inators of the Oxy-aeetylene process in the United
States have been ceasing in their efforts to improve
the apparatus and develop the art. The Davis Bourn
vile oxy-aeetylene system has been installed by
hundreds of manufacturers, all railroad companies,
United States Navy and at the Panama Canal
Oxy-AcetyIene as the name implies Is mixture of
oxygen and aeetylene gas. The oxygen IS, of all

Grating commercial oxygen gas are by the hquefaeton
of the air. The nitrogen and oxygen are then separated
by a process of evaporation The latter gas Is then
compressed in cylinders for industrial uses, by electro
lsis of water; the oxygen and hydrogen collected
separately Water with small quantity Of potash is
treated with electric current, and IN the operation
the hydrogen is liberated at the negative pole and
oxygen Is collected from the positive pole and

upon hearing noise among a drove

He was surprised to find that a hawk
had caught one of the large hogs by
the nose and was holding on tena-
ciously with one foot, the other foot
having been torn from the hawk s
body, it is supposed, by the bird hav-
ing caught another hog by the nose
and the two hogs having run in OPP

it was doing with desperation when
