METHODS or nIsIAG.
During the great gold excitement
in California and from 1913 to 1883,
the vast sum of $3.50 600 900 worth of
gold was taken frpm the a~uriferous
sands of California creeks aud streams
By good authority il is stated that
fully two-thirds of this amount was
from the solid by the simp-
lest instruments. A rude article, but
one quite generally used for prospect
ing purposes. Is the
HORN SPOON.
1t Is made by saving a large horn
in halves lengthwise and scraping
the sections so as to form a sort of
curved spoon which is about two
inches deep and eight inches long.
1t will hold two or three pounds of
earth. Practice will enable the miner
to extract the gold from a spoonful Of
auriferous earth with ease.

AS everyone. probably, will not be
supplied with a patent rocker, a good
substitute for one can be made right
on the ground, as follows: First,
make a half cylinder by splitting u
large n carefully scraping out
the middle wood until only the sur
face. shell remains. Several ribs or
notches should be left on the inside
like the hoIlows In a washing board,
the use Of which Is to catch the parti-
cles OF gold as they are washed down
from the gravel. The cradle is then
mounted on rockers with a facing Of
hoop iron strapped on the upper edge
and set at a gentle incline of six inches
In ten feet. The water is conducted
into the upper end OF the cradle and
the quantity is adjusted to the charac-
ter of the dirt and inclination Of the
cIadle.
A shovelful OF earth Is thrown, I'M

HOW TO REACH THE BLACK HILLS.
Without decrying any of the pro-
posed routes from points OH the Up
per Missouri river, we assert that the
route from Cheyenne northward Is
the safest, speediest, cheapest and
best to reach the Black Hills. Chey-
enne is at the junction of the two
competing railroads from the East
the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific.
1t will be two days railroad travel
to Cheyenne from Chicago or st. Louis
The following table will show the
distance and present rate of fare from
these two points to Cheyenne:

FROM CHEYENNE TO THE BLACK
HILLS.
There are two routes that may be
taken to the hills from here. The
n by way of Fort Laramie, Raw
Hide Buttes, Old Woman's Fork and
Beaver creek is 1872 miles. This route
passes through a settled country for a
hundred miles or so. Good ranches
will he found every few miles as far
as Fort Laramie. There is now a
stage line on it that carries the United
States mail 10 and from the Fort
every other day, and also passengers
at ten dollars a piece. This
road is an unusually good one, and is
constantly travelled by the military,
by freIghters, by ranchmen, settlers.
and others. The following table of
distances over this route Is correct ;

HYDRAULIC MINING


Is connected with sluice mining and
really amounts to the same thing, ex-
cept that the water, instead of rum
ming through and owe the dirt to
work out the gold, is forced through
hose or pipes and dashed with great
force against the bank of auriferous
earth on the same principle that a
powerful steam fire engine throws a
stream upon a building. AS hydrau-
lie mining will scarcely be adopted
for some time to come, in the Black
Hills, it useless to follow the
subject further at this time.
AURIFEROUs QUARTZ.
Since commencing this work we
have received reliable information
which leaves no doubt as to the exis-
lance of very valuable quartz lodges;
but as these can only be worked by
companies with large capital to pay
for the erection of reducing works,
and as the process for working ore are
very numerous and complicated 1t
would be useless to undertake a de-
scriptlon of the different modes In oul
limited space. Nine-tenths Of the

Miss Clara Morris has re-openel her
fearful foodgates in new play called
Miss Mutton" 1t is more circulating
than ARTICLE A." more dismal than Rose
Michel" more distressing than the 1.-TWO
Orphans" and damper about the optics
than East Lynne" The Tribune says OF
the actress: "Her appearance, woeful by
reason of simple garments, pallid counte.
nance and gray hair, presented q type OF
calm wretchedness most sad to see; and hel
voice, her sobs, and her inarticulate cries
Of agony were very piteous to hear" Up in
New York they advertise this ''calm wretch
edness" under tho head of amusements. II

instruct or satisfy the eye, and snivel 10 NOT

der and Acknowledgement of the colored
citizens, in the organization Of provi-
sional government parallel with the regu-
lar government. The Republicans have
endeavored to limit these powers and to
restrict this value of State and city Of
fees. The Democracy has resisted this
reform, and if Mr.. Tilden or Mr.. Nichols
should be elected, each would take and
exercise executive Office with the same
powers as are possessed by the present in
cumbents of these Offices. It is thus that
ambitious, ignorant, inscriptions and
needy politicians have heaped upon
the executive department of the Union
the gift of Office and contracts.
These spoils become an object of
competition among men who have no
care for principle or justice. These
spoil hunters choose this department Of
government as the stock gamblers might
gold or any special security. The very
gamblers 60 into wager upon the personal
success of a party candidate, as they
might bet on the time of one racing horse,
steamship or locomotive against an
other. It would be no wonder, then, if
political or pool gamblers could cripple
q vote, as they might lame or drug
horse, or throw State into instruction
as they might not hesitate to throw
locomotive off the track, or run steam
ship ashore to win their bet.
To arrest this Democratic abuse, and
restore the government to its earlier prac-
tice, it will not be necessary to resort to an
increase of the very evil, by charging the
powers of the executive. 1t will be only
necessary to restrict them. Under our
constitution the executive is the creature
of the representative department. Con-
gress, the State Legislatures, or conven-
ton of the States can strip the executive Of
any or all the powers deemed inconsistent
with the safety of personal rights or the
peace and permanence of the Union. As to
President Grant, he has scrupulously con-
fined himself within the law, nor can any
indication Of an ambitious purpose be de-
tected in his sub mission to the nomina-
ton of his party. and his rigid enforce
ment of law against even the members Of
his own party when they have been i'm
peached of corruption. The talk about
is bosh. ''The empire is

would be far better for the Southern heart
that it should be softened and turned to
the Union as the only source Of hope and
prosperity. Men may be exasperated into
assassination, or even into instruction,
but it would be far better for them and
those dependent on them that political
questions should be left to the laws Of the
land for settlement.
