ARIZONA SENTINEL.
The Natural Dissemination of Gold

The results of recent Investigations only
go to confirm more and more the opinion
long held by biologists as to the wide dis
tribution of gold.
Of all the interesting examinations that
have thus far been made to obtain infor-
nation on this subject, the most curious,
perhaps, were those that followed the in
designations of Mr.. Eckfeldt, the principal
assayer of the United States mint at Phila-
delphia, a few years ago.
Underneath the paved city of Philadel-
phia there lies deposit OF clay whose
area, by probable estimate, would meas
ure over three miles square, enabling us to
figure out the convenient sum of ten square
miles. The average depth is believed to
be not less than fifteen feet. The inquiry
was started whether gold was diffused in
this earthly bed From central locality,
which might afford fair assay for the
whole, the cellar of the new market, in
Market street near Eleventh street, some
of the clay was dug out at depth of four
teen feet. where it could not have been an
artificial deposit. The weight of 130 gram
mes was dried and duly treated, and yield
ed one eighth of a milligramme of gold
a very decided quantity on fine assay
| balance.
| 1t was afterwards ascertained that the
clay in its natural state loses about fifteen
per cent. of moisture in drying. So that,
as it lies in the ground, the clay contains
one part gold in 1,224OOO. This expert
ment was repeated upon clay taken from
brickyard in the suburbs of the city,
with the same result.
In order to calculate with some accuracy
this body Of wealth, blocks of clay were
cut out, and a cubic foot (as it lies IN the
ground) found to weigh 12O pounds, nearly
making the specific gravity 1'92. The
! assay SShCn va j vi SOlu
to the cubit foot Assuming the data al.
ready given, it was ascertained that there
were also millions of cubic feet of clay
under the streets and houses, in which
securely lay 1876 millions of dollars; and if
as was pretty certain, the corporate limits
of the city afforded eight times this bulk
of clay, more gold lay therein than had as
yet been brought from California and Aus
tralia.
From these figures it Is apparent that
every time cart load of clay is hauled out
of cellar, enough gold goes with it tC
pay for the carting; and according to Mr.
Eckfeldts calculation, if the bricks which
front the houses of the city could have
brought to their surface, in the form O
gold leaf, the amount of gold which they
contain, there would appear glitterine
star Of two square inches on every brick

Luck to the Tune of $25, GOO, 900.

ireland carries off the palm of late for
tales Of vast and unexpected inheritances.
Not long ago the Buckley's OF Limerick
found themselves the heirs OF a cool mil
lion and a quarter through the death of
an Australian relative, who left his native
sod forty years before, fugitive from JUS
tice; while poor shoemaker of Clare
lately threw aside his last to revel in q half
million of money of which he suddenly
found himself possessed by inheritance.
But the most stupendous piece of luck is
that by which D. P. Mccarthy, an architect
Of Cork, comes into the bigger share of
S25,000,000 in cash, and larded property
yielding a yearly income of three-Quarters
of million through the death of cousin
in India. This vast property went actual
ly begging for while, and Mr. McCar-
thy's first intimation of the fortune that
| awaited him was through a newspaper adj
vertisement for heirs, casually pointed
out to him by a friend Charles O'Keefe,
the gatherer of these millions, was the
son of small Irish tradesman, who en-
listed and went to India as private near
ly forty years ago. He seems to have had
good stuff in him, and finally earned q
commission in the army. He also had
keen eye for trade, and his desire for riches
outweighed his thirst for military fame,
and he resigned from the army. 1t was in
those days, before India became impover-
ished, that SO many colossal fortunes were
made by smart and INSCRIPTIONS English
men, who regarded that far-away eastern
| possession OF the crown as an inexhausti-
BILE Ell Dorado O'Keefe went into the
| opium trade and became so intent on &C
cumulating money that he forgot to marry
and rear a fumily to inherit it, and now
that he is dead, it falls to his Irish cousins,
the McCarthys. Of these there are four
brothers, each Of whom will receive one
twenty-fifth of the O'Keefe millions, while
the bulk Of the estate falls TO the eldest.

THE MOST STRIKING ADVANTAGES
Il which 1t offers above all other recent
inventions Of this nature may be briefly
summed up as follows:
LIST. ITS CHEAPNESS-The cost of its
erection Tor royalty and freight not exceed
ing $500 for a capacity to roast and chic
ridiZe twenty tons per day, viz: brick work,
$1,000, and iron work, including blower, $500.
I'd. Short time required for erection, viz:
IA days after providing all material, with
sufficiency of labor.
Sd. No expensive, heavy or complicated
machinery being necessary, involving
heavy freight to the district where it may
be required Brick and clay, generally OBJ
tainable on the spot, being the chief mate
rial required in its construction.
4th No skilled labor or technical expe
rience is necessary to work it, two ordinary
laborers being sufficient to attend to it
when in full operation.
5th. 1t does not easily get out of order,
and is readily repaired by an ordinary
mason or blacksmith when it does.
9th. The royalty, or license to use it, is
exceedingly moderate, removing thereby
all temptation 10 evade or infringe the
patent.
18th. calculating labor at So per day, and
wood at So per cord, the cost Of roasting is
but little over S1.50 per ton (ex-salt, when
chloridlzed,) at these high California rates
| for labor and fuel.

stand good for the following:
tall, angular woman in bonnet, with
n stride like man late for train, came int
the recorders office Yesterday morning, and
took seat on the end of "A bench near where
tho city marshal was at work at his desk. She
removed her bonnet, LAID ii across her knees
removed her spectacles and after Swapping
her eyes couple OF times at the city marshal
asked i'm a voice sounding Ikea cross-cut saw
BE you the man that locks people up"
Sometimes find it requisite to appeal to
that extreme measure" answered the official.
II know all that, but be you the man."
Eyes, madame"
well why didn't you say so when | asked
you?"
IL did,
81 say you didn't"
What do you want, madame" asked the
city marshal.
81 want that goodfor-nothng skunk that
was married to my darter locked up"
What has he done:"
yes what's he done, the vile wretch 2" and
she breathed hard, glared about and gritted
her teeth, until the officer felt in his pocket tor
his police whistle.
"Be calm, madame compose your feelings"
argued the marshal

five minutes-what apicturc he would make!"

ampertatc my jaw with boot jack" said she.
what in the world could have induced him
to say that?" observed the official.
81 got him by the HAIR, drawed him across
the kitchen table with one hand, and had only
hit him time or two with the nghandled
skillet, and he was calen' me mother dear

"You let up on him-you felt sorry for him."

she seemed distressed
"What could have induced him to talk in
that absurd way" asked the city marshal feel
ing uncomfortable
"But after all it makes me feel good to talk
about it, 1t calls up old recollections, you
know. 1t brings to mind about Matildy's hus-
band. His har didn't give with a cent. What

was some of him in one corner, and some Of
him hanging on the fence, and right smart Of
him was wrapped about the ax.handle. 1t

"What doyou want me to do" asked the
officer
"Ifyou can catch him, just lock him up and
send for me; that's all. I'm a law-abdin' wo,
man. I've notified the civil authorities to
catch him for me. You will know him by the
