took a leading part in putting the

leave for Solomon today and will

noticeable briskness in some lines,
such as ship building etc., but in
others there is a marked uncertain

Here's 1 new one. it is not ^
vouched for although it is told by
one who would not have the slight
est liositat-on in putting the Stand
ard Oil 01. the hum if the new fuel !
oil would be sufficiently available to
do so. experimenters have proved
that sea! oil. the beloved of the na
tive palate, possesses a greater ex
plosive tnd expansion power than
any otli- r oil upon combustion and j
the for. of its explosion when on- |
closed is better than tin.' other mo
tor spit in existence. Tests have
shown fiat a minimum of the oil
will perform a maximum of work
and that one dredge man is even
consideri g the proposition of ap
plying it to active service in an in- „
ternal combustion engine of such a
type as will he adapted for this pur- 1
pose. It.deed it is declared that al
ready preliminary tests of the seal
oil motoi spirit proves that it is not
only vain ihle hut is superior to all
others Its main objection is that
the oil not ver> plentiful and in
these bays of food conservation
strong objection may he made to its
use. K. - kow ( inis rvation would

osts havi about boon persuaded that !
theta v\ i I be more money opcratiitg j
the road for some time yet owing to l
the trcighting demands of the tired- ,
ges and mines than in tearing up j
it nil shipping out the road. It is I
saitl that there is good prospect of j
a dred:: - being placed upon Solomon
river tbove East Forks and another
on fiig Hurrah, on both of which
set-lions drilling trews have been at
work testing the ground for this
very purpose. These will need con

which may give tin* mad a litt'e j
longer lease of life. In addition j
tlie constantly recurring reports that ]
the Ilig Hurrah mine may lie opened
will not down. They crop up again .
and again anti art' believed by ex
cellent authorities on the matter as
highly probable. One man who
does not profess to know anything
on the subject saitl however that it
is little short of scandalous the way
the machinery and property in and
around ilie mine lots been allowed
to go to wreck and ruin. The
smokestacks have in one instance
fallen through the roof and opened
valuubi - muehineri to wind ana
weather, causing almost irreparable
loss.
