A BIG SUCCE SIS.
rs. F.Stock Exchange,

Several weeks ago the Exchange pub
lished an extended account of the result
OF test OF the Frue Concentrator on
the black gold sands of Oregon, brought
about by General George S. Dodge, John
Landers and j. Fl. eager, Secretary to
Flood & O'Brien. The experiment was
so successful in reducing these sands-a
subject that has occupied the attention
of mining men for twenty years or more
that the above named gentlemen re.
solved to send the machines to their
claim in Coos county. Oregon, and go
to the expense of a months trial. The
result was proved more than satisfactory.
They sent seven of the machines to the
ground and set them up. The machines
began their work June 18th and ran only
in the day. They gathered the concen-
tratlons July Goth, and the result was
20 tons of concentrations which have
yielded $12, 200 in gold, s9l fine. or $Gl0
per ton. The whole cost of producing
this result was $1,000. The average
assay Of the sand run through the ma
chimes was $l2 per ton. Therefore, this
is equal to the reduction of one thou
sand tons of the original sand. The
tailings hsve not shown trace. The
Black Sand Company are SO pleased with
the result that they are now working
their seven machines night and day and
are having thirteen additional machines
built, which, when running, as they will
be in few weeks, will give the company
product of about $50. 600 month at a
cost of $4,000. This promises to open
up new gold producing industry which
will give value to property on the whole
Northern coast, hitherto supposed value
less because of the difficulty of separat-
ing the precious metal from the sand.

A FINANCIAL FREAK Visiting the
Orphans Fair in Virginia City last even
ing reminded the News reporter Of
story told concerning Joe Blskely,
formerly known in Gold Hill as "Im-
perial Joe," while on his visit to the
East. One night after lucky "sitting, "
so the story runs, Joe and his pard
dropped IN to see church fair tina, Was
in progress. 1t was in country viii
lase, and the people. unlike most
church folks, had some conscience in the
matter of charging. Joe and his friend
were both strangers, and walked around
awhile to take in the situation. Joe fin
ally concluded that it was the cheapest
fair he had ever struck. and proposed to
his companion that they buy out the
whole shebang. The proposition was
accepted. They started at each side of
the door and went around until they
met in the middle, buying and paying
for everything on the tables. Then the
fun commenced. Prizes were announced
for the prettiest girl in the room, and
for the ugliest girl; girls with little feet,
and girls with big feet, received pre-.
miums. The strangers were the center OF
attraction. They were the observed OF
all observers. After turning the heads
of all the girls and making all the boys
desperately jealous, they gave the re-
naming portion of the goods back to the
| church, and left as mystsriously as they
came, simply saying in explanation, that
they were mining spectators from
