Dynamite Drunks

west dynamite is being used by the
Mexican miners, it is said, in a new and
altogether startling way. Many of the
Mexican peons are what is known as
dynamite liends. i'sers of dynamite
soon learn that it is a powerful stimu
lant. and that the effeets of intoxication
are pleasing, while they last, beyond the
most excruciating phantasies of an
opium dream. The "dynamiter" usually
