Placer Mining.

The first gold that q country fur.
nishes is generally derived from placer
washings. This is the simplest and
most inexpensive method of obtaining
the precious metal, and therefore best
adapted to tho use of the pioneer or
discoverer whose capital and capacity
for labor is limited. Along the banks
OF streams small water-worn pieces of
gold are found; investigation frequent
~ reveals the metal in greater guam
titles; then placer mining in its sim.
plest form begins. Gold alone, of the
precious metals. is found in placers;
where native silver occurs. it is al
ways in connection with the original
argentiferous rocks, never separated
from them. Nature, however, has fur.

In placer mines, or more properly
"diggings,'' the gold occurs separated

lily contained. The auriferous rocks
were decomp0sed by various natural
forces, and the gold, sand and gravel
removed by water. The distance to
which the particles were carried depend.
ed upon the size and rapidity of the cur.
rent and the weight of the particles.
The larger and heavier stones, gravel
and sand, were deposited first, after

The independent ticket nominated

Collier is an usurper of and intruder
on an Office which he has no right to

are that the offer to serve as Probate

full fees of the Office amounted to 80, 800
q year, was, in its nature, a direct bride
to voters; ''that said respondent, in

The Exchange OF Coupon Bonds.

When the Secretary of the Treasury
calls for 500, OOO, 600 of bonds he doesn't
get them, because of the changes from
coupon to registered. For instance, a
bondholder owns 81, 900 bond of 1867,
numbered $500. He changes it for 3
registered bond, the latter bearing q
new number, and the old bond is can
celed. When the Secretary calls for
81, 900 bonds, "Nos. 1901 to 1900
inclusive" this Cancelled bond is in
cluded in footing up the nominal
amount, $500, 900, but, as it has already
been cancelled, it doesn't really count.
Dealers in bonds make business of
changing coupon bonds for registered.
For instance, banker holds q 81, 600
bond of 1867, numbered 1900. He finds
that it is likely to be included in the
next 'call" of the Secretary, and to
prolong the life Of the bond he sends it
to Washington and exchanges it for q
registered one, which takes its place
at the foot of the line. There are two
provisions of the law in regard to
United States bonds which conflict with
each other, and one of them makes
impossible the consummation of the
purpose of the other. The law pre-
poses, which is just, that the bonds
shall be called in the order in which
they are issued, that is, beginning with
No. of each denomination and going
to the highest number, the intent being
to give all bonds, rs nearly as possible,
the same term of life. But the law al
lowing the exchange Of coupon bonds
for registered may be SO used as to give
one bond many months more of life
than another. The holder of No of
any denomination of bonds of 1867
might, when he saw that the 1865
were all called, have exchanged his for
q registered bond, and as he saw the
day approaching when it was TO be
called, could have it transferred to his
clerks or some other persons name,
adding months to it's lease of life with
each transfer, until eventually the first
9ne issued would be the last one called.
Tho bankers and brokers who under.
stand this operation avail themselves
OF it, but few private holders Of bonds
ever change them for this purpose. It
10 difficult to see how a remedy can be
applied, but the intent of the law which
provides that bonds should be called
In the order in which they were issued,
Is evidently overridden in the provision
