Plot Suspected
At S. P. Bridge

A small tube of what is believed
to be nitroglycerine was found near
the South Umpqua steel bridge on
the Southern Pacific track at Myrtle
Creek Monday afternoon by two boys.
Local officers think it was meantsto
wreck the bridge and stop freight
traffic for some time.
The explosive, if such it is, was in
a sealed tube about eight inches long,
in which there was also another vial
OF about the same length, with diff
ferent sort of liquid. The Roseburg
experts say that the outside liquid is
nitroglycerine, the inside one a
liquid which would act as fuse or
detonator.
There is no clew as to who dropped
the bomb. District Attorney Neuman
will consult with the federal author
tiles as to the steps necessary to as
certain the exact contents of the mys-
terious tube, which, it is thought,
was placed on a rail and was shaken
off by vibration when a train drew
near. No one has dared to open the
tube.

Social Circle Meets.

home of C. o. Porter of Eighth street
a splendid meeting of the Social Cir
Gle was enjoyed. Mrs. o. W. Long
assisted Mrs Porter in the entertain
ing. A guessing game was one of the
features of the afternoons entertain
ment A small jar of beans was
placed on the table and each guest
given an opportunity to guess how
many beans the jar contained. There
was some wild guessing, which goes
to prove that the women have not yet
learned to Hooverize to the extent of
counting the beans they cook, or they
could have guessed nearer the mark.
Mrs. ]. V. Wright proved to be the
best guesser and carried off the prize
of a handsome cap. Music was also
furnished during the afternoon by
Mesdames Yokum and Weinberger,
which every one enjoyed. Those
present were Mesdames Chamberlain,

Chrome Ore Deposit
Will Be Developed

Allen Davis and W. A. Patrick OF
this city left this week to locate a
valuable chrome deposit ten miles
west of Ashland and six miles from
Talent, which they prospected recent
| ". Both men are experienced min
ers, Davis having handled chrome
ores for 80 years. They believe the
deposit richer than any other in this
section, and will proceed with devel-
opment work at once. The ore will
be delivered to Talent over a down
grade haul.
Chrome has come into use extern
sively since the war was declared
The mineral chromite is the source
of the metal chromium, which, as an
alloy in chrome steel and in several
chemical compounds, occupies an i'm
portant place on our battle front on
both land and sea. The compounds
furnish the strong and durable yet
sGbdued and protective colors that
are used to dye the soldiers khaki
clothes and tan the upper leather of
his shoes. Chromite readily forms
alloys with iron and gives hardness
to the steel that is used for armor
r1ata IN our NOR uacca1c apd 60, tlo
armor-piercing projectiles which they
hurl at the enemy. 1t is one of the
essential elements in steelite, which
is now so largely employed in max
ing high-speed tools for cutting steel
in the manufacture of munitions.
According to the United States Ge-
ological Survey bulletin, most of the
known bodies of chromite are small,
and those that lie far from lines of
transportation are not available for
exploitation by the ordinary miner
because of the difficulty and expense
Of getting the ore on the market.
Many of the deposits are in national
forests, particularly in the Klamath
mountain region, and could be made
accessible for exploitation by means
of government roads, whose construc-
tion would permit an increase in the
domestic production, which otherwise
is likely to decline.
