EXPLOSION STORY DENIED
Dupont Company Declares There
Was No Plot.

Wilmington, Jan. 14.-An official
statement made today by the Du
Pont de Nomours Powder company
asserts no credence is given the ru-
NOR that the explosion of the Du Pont
plant on Friday night at Haskell N
j., was the result of a plot. 1t is as
serted property losses and the general
havoc caused by the blasts are not so
great as first reportd. The statement
says;
The property loss is estimated by
the company at the outside as not
more than 100000 These figures
include the value of the powder de
stroyed, 100000, and not more than
100000 which will be required to put

not more than $4,000, may be added
to this to pay for the damage done to
surrounding property This damage
consists principally of broken glass
in neighboring villages"

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR
RED CROSS NURSES
FUNDS ARE PROVIDED TO AID
CANDIDATES TO
STUDY

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 10
Announcement was made today by
the Town and Country Nursing Ser
vice of the American Red Cross of
a series of public health nursing
scholarships, donated by chapters
and individuals as special war gifts.
Miss Fannie Clement, director of the
bureau, made the following state
ment:
THE war experience of Europe
has emphasized the social need for
carefully trained nurses, who by
education and temperament, are
prepared for the patriotic service
OF watching ove the health stan
dards of a whole community. The
scholarship of $3.50 each that we
now offer cover an eight months
course in public health study at
Columbia University, New York
City, Simmons College, Boston. A
similar course is offered at the
School of Applied Social Science,
Western Reserve, School of Nursing
and Health, University of Cincinnati
and the School of Civics and Philan-
thropy, Chicago.
"The sum of $3.50 is hardly suci-
cient, of course, to cover the expen-
ses of the course. Each nurse, re-
ceiving a scholarship, will be pri-
vileged where necessary, to utilize
the Student Loan Fund of the Red
C,oco IN amount anua1 tn the
scholarship. The loan fund was
established several years ago in or
der that nurses might be trained
for Red Cross work in rural COM
munities. Many of the nurses so
trained are now rendering invalu-
able service, both in community and
reconstruction work in France, and
in the public health work in the
zones around environments"

OLD COLUMBIA
MINE REVIVED
MADE GOOD OUTPUT YEARS
AGO AND IL AGAIN
PROMISING

The Columbia mine, one of the
very Oldest properties in the yell
low Pine district, is interesting not
alone because of the wealth it has
yielded, but because of its history
and the changes which it has wit
messed in the 50 years of its exis-
tence.
To begin with, the Columbia may
be said to be the twin sister of the
famous Boss mine by reason of the
fact that both were located at the
same time in 1882. by Joseph
Gount. father of S. +. Yount. Hah-
she White and b. A. Hamilton.
These were probably the first loca-
lions made in this section and the
locators of those two properties
met together soon after that and
organized the Yellow Pine Mining
district for the purpose of record
ing their claims. These locations
and the formation of the mining
district may properly be said to
mark the beginning of the marvel
Gus development which has resulted
in the yield of millions of dollars
35 years.
II original locators held the
Boss and Columbia mines for sew
eral years until they sold both prop
critics to the Mineral Union Mining
company, a corporation of which
Robert Seaman of New York was
the head. This company made am
bilious plans for working their
properties both of which yielded
high grade copper ore.
The Mineral Union selected the
site where the Yellow Pine mill is
now located in Goodsprings, and
there spent approximately 800, 900
constructing a mill and teaching
plant. However, the process which
they installed. of teaching the ores
by what is known as the ammonia
process. failed to recover the values,
and the whole enterprise proved a
failure. The mill was afterward
bought by Mr.. j. F. Kent for the
Yellow Pine Mining company and
dilCi DCihS ChIiiCls VNolSli uSttu,
has since been used successfully for
making a separation of the ores
of the Yellow Pine mine.
The Columbia and the Boss mines
reverted to the original owners Up
on the death of Hamilton. his in
terest passed to J.. M. Hale, dry
goods merchant of Los Angeles,
who afterwards got his money out
of the deal through the sale of the
Columbia, and abandoned his in
terest in the Boss, being tired of the
mining game.
In 1906 the Columbia was sold
to a man named Fisher, of Boston,
for $4,000, of which $4,000 was
paid in cash. Fisher was unable
to make the second payment when
due and turned his contract over to
Joseph Dederichs. who paid the
remaining $4,000 and took the
title to the Columbia mine.
Mr.. Dederichs then formed the
st. Anthony Mining company, the
corporation which now holds the
property, and began making plans
for active development of the seven
claims comprising the group. How
ever, the panic of 1907 knocked all
plans awry, and the Columbia laid
idle until the year 1913. - Good
