A eaal 7'by 15 feet, ten miles long, was commenced in June and completed November 15. A dam 485. feet. long on top and 50 feet high was’constructed across the outlet of a lake at the head of the canal for storage of about 550,000,000°cubic feet of water. The construction of this dam and the canal furnished employment to 350 men and 120 horses and cost $125,000. During the progress of the opening up of the lowest or bedrock bench of gravel, rich gravel was found. Abour 75,000 pounds of black blasting powder and 100,000 pounds of other miscellaneous mining supplies are used annually at the mine, which has now completed thirty-three miles of canals and three storage reservoirs having a total area of 2184 acres and a storagé capacity of 1,016,000,000 cubic feet of water.

The following incident is given by Charles Morris, general jobber, 52 Lexington Avenue, North Cambridge, Mass.: ‘Several years ago I became poisoned by ivy. I tried many medicines, spending a large sum of money without obtaining a particle of good. My children were also afflicted with the same disease. We were all constant sufferers with an awful itching sensation, and it seemed as if I should tear myself to pieces. I picked up a paper in which I found printed a testimonial from a man in Vermont who had been similarly afflicted and had taken Hood’s §grsaparilla with benefit. I bought a bottle, which we took and it did Me and My Children. 80 much good I purchased another supply. We continued taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla until we used five bottles and I can safely say that neither myself nor childre have any signs of the poison. It Has entirely left us and we are perfectly cured. We give the whole credit to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Before resorting to this medicine I was reduced in weight, but now I weigh 175 pounds. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has not only done much good but. has been the means of saving mea great deal of money. I would not be without it in my house and I heartily recommend it to all who are afflicted. I have written this statement for publication, of my own will, as I want others to know what Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for us.””> CHARLES MORRIS. POWDBR EXPLOSIONS. A Berkeley Professor Thinks That North Winds Cause Them. Professor Louis J. Le Conte, a civil engineer of the State University, says that dynamite and powder mill explosions. are caused.by atmostpheric conditions produced by north winds. On a number of occasions recently Mr. Le Conte has predicted beforehand the catastrophes at powder mills near Oakland and Berkeley. According to M. Le Conte’s observations, every one of them has taken place during a prevailing high north wind, on either the second or the third day. “Mr. Le Conte’s theory is that the north winds bring the atmosphere into a high state of electrical activity by drying it, and with it the particles of dust generated in dynamite factories by the mixing process, whence the communication of an electricai spark causing explosion is all but inevitable. The remedy recommended by the Berkeley civil engineer isin restoring to the apartments of these factories the atmosphere’s normal amount of moisture. This cah be done by the direct introduction of steam to ‘the apartments where the constituents of the explosives are mixed. Can Be Had on Easy Terms.
