Mr J N Bandick is now manager of

plaut iu Norfolk This promotion came
with the visit of Mr K C Howe gen
oral manager of tho company and was
auuounced Saturday eveuiug tho com
mission taking effect this morning
Mr Buudiok has mauy frieuds iu Nor
folk who will be glad to congratulate
him his advancement For about
a year he haa been to- a degree upon
probation having been acting manager
dining that time He no doubt would
have been made actual manager long
ago but for the fact that he was not ouly
young iu years but comparatively
porienced In tho busluoss having only
beeu engaged iu it siuce November
1898 when ho outered the office at the
factory as cashier When Mr Baird
was seut to tho Rocky Ford factory a
year ago Mr Buudick was placed in
charge it was supposed temporarily
but ho so quickly adapted himself to
tho business that the company began to
think that he would make a good mana
ger and as time wentou aud he brought
to a successful termination all questions
whioh came up in the management of
tho factory the belief grew into a con
viction that he was the man wanted
Today hecelebrates his thirty first birth
day as well as his promotion making
him probably the youugest manager of
au iustitutiou of the size aud import
ance of the Norfolk fnctory iu the
United States His youth however
does uot prevent him being a thorough
business man as he has demonstrated
duriug tho past year and will continue
to demonstrate in future
Mrs N A Keller who has been act

promoted to the cashiership Mrs

Dutch for baubles worth GO guilders
As early as 1003 there being a war
with the French a platform upon the
outmost point of rocks under the fort
was designated as a suitable place for
a battery and the council was called
upon by Governor Fletcher to furnish
80 cords of stockades 12 feet in

In 1735 a really Imposing battery
with a no less Imposing title The

MODERN MINE SALTING
Tae War Thla swindle la Artfully
Woa kcd In Mexico
Mlup salting nowadays has doveb
oped Into a veny nice art snld an en
gineer aud assayer who has lately ro
tutued from the Inspection of some
properties In old Mexlcd In former
times It was done crudely A rascal
who wanted to glvo fictitious value to
a worthless prospect hole genorally
bought or stole a sack of high grade
ore and simply scattered It about tho
excavation where the victim would be
likely to pick up a few pieces for sam
pling If an exposed ledge was to be
dealt with he sometimes filed up a 27
goldplccc loaded tho dust Into a shot
gun and fired It against tho surfaco
from which specimens would bo taken
But at present greater finesse la
needed The up to date purchaser in
slsts upon having fresh ore blasted out
from beneath the surfaco where II
could not possibly be tampered with
and seals It up In a little canvas sack
for the assayer with his- own hands
It Is then that the latest development
the hypodermic syringe comes Into
play The scientific mine- salter boa
one of these bandy little Implements
In his coat pocket charged with a solu
tion of chloride of gold
Die watches for an opportunity and
when one presents Itself quietly thrusts
the tip of the needle through the can
vas sack and gives the piston a geutlo
push The cousequence Is that a fow
drops of the liquid are discharged over
the surface of the ore The quantity of
gold in the solution Is almost infinitesi
mal but It Is enough to run up an as
say 1000 a ton
Meanwhile the victim is tranquil In
the knowledge that he has selected tho
samples himself and has them safely
Backed under his own private seal
Hypodermic mine salting Is all the go
In Mexico at present It beats the old
method to death New Orleans

An Trenntlou Wife
An Incident occurred at the redemp
tion bureau of the treasury which
ought to be a warning to wives A
woman In New England placed 48 in
bank bills In the oven of the kitchen
stove In order to hide It from her hus
band She forgot to take It out and lu
the morning he kindled a hot fire and
reduced the money to a crisp before
his wife remembered where It was
She picked up the ashes enough to
half fill a wineglass put them In a lit
tle box and sent them down to Wash
ington to be redeemed The experts
by the use of magnifying glasses Iden
tified the bills to the amount of 38
and sent her that money but It cost
her 12 to fool her husbnnd and she
will probably not try It ngaln Chicago

Earth Fortification
Military engineers are practically
agreed that no material for fortifica

Is not obtainable as on the seashore
sand Is collected Into bags and these
nre laid In regular heaps along the line
of the proposed fortification In such
a fortification the balls from the ene
