PLAN TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE
BUSINESS OF GOLD MINING.
[Plscer Herald.l

A gentleman by the name of Allen
Oliver, who has thoroughly prospected
this country for gold, an account of
which appeared in the Herald of October
Both, 1875, has come to the conclusion,
in his own mind, that the riches of Cal
ifornia are not in the quartz, only in
very limited quantities. That the main
grand original source of gold is but par
italy understood. He considers that
the rock known as porphyry, or as he
terms it, metallic ashes, is the original
scourcs from which issues all the gold
that has ever been discovered in Califor-
mia or any other country. So confirmed
fs he in his opinion, as to be induced to
invent machinery for the express pur-
pose of extracting the precious metal
from this porphyry or metallic ashes.
Mr.. Oliver is not alone in the matter.
There is a company formed of which Mr..
A. Weske, of Michigan Bluff, is Presi-
dent, who intend to carry out the design
OF Mr. Oliver. and. if possible, to make
it success. Machinery has been man.
ufactured in San Francisco by Mr.. John
Lockhead. at great expense, and it is
now at Auburn Station, on its way to its
final location. 1t was intended at one
kime to have this machinery erected near
khe mouth OF Volcano Canyon, on the
Middle Fork of the American river, but
hs it appears to be very difficult to obtain
keams to move it to that locality, it is
more than probable that it will be erected
on the American river. near Auburn.
and be run by water from the Bear River
Ditch, The machinery which is very
massive. was set mp in San Francisco,
and found to work to the satisfaction of
all concerned Preparations for prepar-
ing the site and erecting the machinery
will be commenced Immediately. Mr..
OLIVER feels very much elated with his
future prospects and feels confident that
t willrevolutionizs the business in gold
mining. as with this machinery gold can
lbe extracted ata great deal less expense
than any other. Mines that have been
abandoned as non-paying under the old
system can, by this process, be made to
yield handsome dividends. We hope
that Mr.. Oliver is correct in his opinion
land that his anticipations may be real
lized. Not being an expert in mining
matters, We do not feel warranted in ex-
pressing an opinion, but we shall wait
the results with anxious expectations.

A very valuable contribution to

A very valuable contribution to the
honesty of elections, says Harper's
Weekly, is the Bacon ballot-box, which
has been patented, and which deserves
the most carefufattention of all who are
interested in honest voting and counting,
and of those who have official charge Of
electioDs. who together comprise the
whole body OF American citizens. The
mechanism of the box is very simple,
and its successful operation requires
only some slight changes in the electoral
laws. 1t numbers every ballot with a
detective combination, preventing "stuff-
ing" and supplying" and stealing, and
instantly showing spurious ballots. 1t
has been tested by skillful experts, who
have ingeniously sought to evads its
operation, bat every point seems to have
been guarded. All such inventions are,
of course, proximate. They offer de-
fences against mischiefs already known,
and even against many which may be
suggested by those that are known. But
they naturally suggest new kind of
abuse to avoid the new guards. This is
the condition of all progress. Nothing,
also, can protect poll where there is no
indication OF the number of votes cast,
and where the inspectors are in collusion
both as to the number and character of
the vote. In other words, no invention
can abolish rasoality. But an invention
may very seriously embarrass it. This
is the aim OF the Bacon ballot box, which
is admirably adapted to secure its pur-
pose. It has been seen and approved by
intelligent and skillful men of all kinds,
and deserves candid and close inspec-
ton.

The OLDEST Town IN THE ORIGINAL
THIRTEEN STATEs.-Not many persons
remember that Albany is the oldest town
in the original thirteen States. having
been settled by the Netherlanders in
1914. They then established trading
post on Castle Island. just below the site
OF the present city, where Fort Orange
was built nine years later. The place
was afterwards known as Beaver Wyck
and Williamstadt, not receiving the name
of Albany, in honor Of the Duke OF York
and Albany, subsequently, James H.,

British, in 1864. jamestown, Va, was
settled in 1907; but it has long ceased to

Gosnold being prominent among them
landed and made the first English settle
ment in the United States, 271 years ago.
st. Augustine is the most ancient settle
ment in the country, fort having been
erected there by the Spaniards as early
as 1865. It is illustrative of the cosmo-
politan character of our people that the
three Oldest places in the Republic
should have been settled by Englishmen,
Netherlanders and Spaniards. James
town has long been dead; st. Augustine
has hardly vestige of the Spanish
element; but Albany is full OF the de-
scendants of the Netherlsnders. and it
has often been remarked that the capital
of New York is more Dutch than Ameri-
can to-day.-[N. Y. Times.

Prominent citizens of Philadelphia
have made proposition to the committee
of New York business men appointed to
make arrangements for a Worlds Fair in
this city in 1880 to sell the Permanent
Exhibitation building in the Quaker
City for removal there. Interested par
ties say it is too early yet to consider any
proposition of the kind. It is thought
it will be easier and cost less to erect new
buildings when the time comes than to
remove the Philadelphia Exhibition build
ing to this city.

UNIQUE REMEDY FOR A LOST Vo1cE.-
Miss Sailie E. Patterson OF Boom county
lost her voice on the 10th Of July last.
She has since that time been unable to
speak in an audible tone of voice. Atthe
suggestion of her attending physician
she went before the Boone County Med
ical Association for examination. The
Association suggested the idea of an
electro-galvanic battery, which was tried,
together with other remedies, without
any perceptible benefits. Recently
while in Columbia she met Mrs. Hume.
who proposed to cure her by the use of
ardent spirits. Miss SalIie. having but
little confidence in the virtues of that
from which so much evil results. did
not accept the offer Of her most generous
benefactor. Their remedies having
failed, few days since she determined
to try the spirits, the result of which was
the recovery of her voice while in the
worst stage of intoxication.-TS St. Louis
