New CoNcESrRAToR.-Mr. Thomas
McGlew has invented a new concen-
trating apparatus, says the Reese River
Rereille, q miniature model Of which
he has in operation in the rear of
Messrs. Smith &c Starratt's hardware
store. 1t resembles somewhat the old
fashioned California gold rocker, ex-
cept that it runs upon pulleys and has
a forward and back In addition to q
side action, the combinations giving
the machine a movement similar to the
6atea. The pulp Is placed upon a zinc
apron upon which a stream OF water
Is running. which with the motion car
ries 1t to the bed, where 1t is thorough
ly washed, the forward and back mo-
ton carrying of the lighter portions,
whilo the heavier, containing the min
eral, Is retained In the machine. The
combination Is effected by q double in
cline, one carrying 1t ahead and the
other sidewise. Fifty pounds Of tail
ings from the Citizens mill, assaying
$50, we're reduced In the machine to
| twenty pounds, which assayed $ll0.
Mr.. McGlew will make other expert
ments, and when he has perfected his
invention, will build a large apparat.
US, which he intends placing In a mill

concentrating the waste from the set.
tiers. He Is confident that 1t will
work successfully and produce most

The necessity of caution In accept
Ing stories Of wrong and outrage which
volunteer correspondents are so fond
OF sending to the newspapers has been
illustrated BY the experience Of the
New York Times and tho Army and
Ndry Journal with a Mr.. Kruger, one
OF the wounded survivors Of the Wick
enburg massacre, In which young Lor-
ing lost his life. Nj. Kruger repre-
sented that Lieut.-Col. O'Beirne, OF
the 2lst Infantry, commanding Camp
Date Creek, Arizona, treated him and
his wounded companion, Miss Shep-
hard, with great inhumanity, refused
them admission to the post, and pre-
vented an investigation which would
have shown that the massacre was COM
mltted BY Indians on the Date Creek
Reservation. Both papers we have
mentioned printed this story, and one
made 1t the subject Of strong editorial
remarks in John Thomas very best
vein. But Mr.. Kruger turns out to be
entirely wrong. The Army and Nary
Journal publishes letters from the off,
Ger complained of. from the post sur
geon, and from Lieut.. Ebstein, Of the
2lss Infantry, overthrowing the whole
story, and makes graceful amend for
giving currency to Mr.. Kruger's SLAM
ders. The wounded travellers received
every attention at the camp, and n
careful investigation was made at the
reservation, showing that the suspect
ed Indians were innocent.

SAINT PATRICK.

The celebration of st. Patrick's Day
takes place to-day In San Francisco,
Sacramento, and other principal cities
of America. This Is In order to give
full vent to the usual exercises and Iii
larity Of the occasion, the real anniyer-
sary day occurring on Sunday. New
ertheless the telegraph Informs US that
the festive occasion was celebrated
throughout Ireland yesterday. Here
in the land Of sagebrush the day was
observed in a most fitting and appro-
pirate manner, both relIgiously and
~testively, and balls both here and at
Virginia tonight will give full oppor-
tunity to those who desire to indulge
In the ~terpslchorcan ~socialties Of the
anniversary. 1t not being altogether
smiss on this occasion, we extract the
following relative to Saint Patrick,
from the American Cyclopedid: +,
"The Apostle or Patron Saint OF
Ireland is supposed by some to have
been q native of Cornwall, whose zeal
prompted him to cross the Channel for
the conversion of the pagan Irish. BY
Others, however, he is said to have been
a native Of Kirkpatrick, on the Clyde,
and that his name was S%accuthus, I'M
I'll changed by Pope Celestine. Others
again assert that he was born In Brit
tany and carried by some freebooters
TO Ireland, where he was first en-
ployed in keeping sEeep. But be this
as It may, 1t Is allowed BY all that his
endeayors were crowned With great
success, and that he established there q
number of schools and m~onasteries.
Various miracles are attribu'
ted to him, particularly the oft repeat
ed assertion of the absence Of all ven.
omous reptiles from Ireland. caused
by his holy benedlction. The
latter years of his life were devoted
to piety. and he died at an advanced
age, about the year 49S.
This account, however, would make
it appear that St. Patrick was q Cor
nlshman or a Frenchman, and not al
Irishman at all, therefore a more pop
ular idea Is conveyed In the words o.
the old song, which commences with
st. Patrick was q glntlcmsn,
And can't from dacent people;
In Dublin-town ho built . church,
And on it put a stceple.
That he was a truly good man, his
tory leaves no room for doubt, and q:
such all will revere and duly honor hi
memory.

DEAD ISDrANs.-A gentleman who
came over from Secret Canon yester-
day. informs US that there are n large
number of dead Indians among tho
hills of that locality. The smallpox
Is raging among them with fearful CT
feet. lie reports seventeen defunct
Los at various points on the canon,
and thinks there are Others ut Fish

er that any Of their number have the
fearful disease, they strike camp and
move on, leaving the untortunates to
suffer and die without food or shelter.
1t Is a hard state of affairs, and it
would indeed seem that, with all our
boosted christianity, there should be
something done In tho premises. The
people of Secret Canon complain about
the bodies lying around 30 near their
camps, and are more than anxious that
they should be buried or burned

ARIZONA MINES. D.. R. Stewart,
a large owner In the Arizona mine and
mill, says the Humboldt Siluer State,
OF Saturday, sold out his interest In the
property to j. G. Fall. and has retired
from the concern. We are not In
formed rs to the exact figures paid, but
have understood that the amount was
$50, 900 In coin. This purchase gives
Mr.. Fall control Of the property, as he
was the owner Of one-half before. MI.
Stewart, since the compromise and
consolidation Of the old companies, has
been acting in the capacity Of Superin-
tendent Of the mine. The amount Of
bullion shipped from the Arizona mine,
through Wells, Fargo s. Co., since our
last issue, was $7,063.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, writing from knights
Ferry, gives tho following particulars
Of an honest act, and which deserves to
be recorded: In 1926, Stephen Tucker
a native of Vermont, failed In Quebec
for about $l5, 900. He was able to pay
ten cents on each dollar Of his indebt-
edness, and availed himself Of the BEN
etit of the Bankrupt Act. Since that
time, for he is still living, his fortune
has changed and he Is wealthy. He
has paid every dollar Of the old debts
with legal interest on each. Amongst
them was one which he owed u cor
respondent and which amounted with
the interest to $500, for which he sent
his check. Such an example of consci-
entiousness Is truly refreshing. Mr..
Tucker is now over IS years Of age.

Gr... valley Items.

from tho Republican Of Saturday.
The strike at the Empire has not In
terfered as all with the working OF the
mine. A full complement OF miners
have been secured, and the mine Is De-
ing managed by the superintendent,
and to all appearances the owners
have fairly come into possession OF
their property. This Is a matter OF
great Importance to them, and worth
making public.
Yesterday, while a party OF miners
were eating their dinner In one OF the
levels of the Eureka mine, a mass OF
rock Weighing about five tons became
detached from above and came crash
Ing down to the spot where they were
sitting. Fortunately they saw 1t IN
time to enable them to scramble out OF
the way, or they would have been
crushed to death. One mar was slight
ly injured on his hand and face.
Our French citizens propose to have
a grand ball in May next In aid OF
France-to assist In paying OF the
heavy indebtedness imposed upon her
by Germany.

ASorHsRSrRIKs.-The Grass Valley
ILL., 4 ,Nl..nadnIr a NO

Republican OF thursday says:
Another strike took place at the En-
pire mine on Tuesday night. There are
several reports as to the cause of the
strike, but from all we can learn 1t was
on account of the discharge of a num-
Der of miners lately by the superin-
tendent. These men who were dis
charged were %ringleaders in the strike
at tho Empire mine two weeks ago.
The men remaining In the mine con-
cluded to island by" their ~ringleaders
and made up their minds that the best
way to do IL would be to "strike"
again, hoping no doubt that by doing
so, they would force tho owners of the
Empire to beg for mercy and hire them
all over again, thus repeating the re-
cent farce Of that kind. 1t remains to
be seen what the owners will do. The
probabilities are that having seen the
folly of one blunder they will not make
anotherj just like it. If we can read the
signs Of the times, "strikes" and die
tatlon In the Grass Valley mines are
pretty much played out.
