Fair i'm the senate.

Frank Pixley in his last Washing
ton letter to tue Argonaut says: OF
Senator Fair I have not heretofore
spoken, but he is an agreeable sur
prise to me In one particular. He is
a hardworking member, almost always
in his seat, and is by his colleagues
accredited with intelligent and efficient
committee work, taking to himself a
fair share of the duties assigned to
him, and performing those duties con-
scientiously. He is not yet beyond
the modest age of the new senator
and has not, SD far, underworld tc
measure himself in debate with older
members. He lives at the Arlington
having the Summer annex" He en-.
tertains by giving handsome dinner
parties, and, as a rule. invites with hi:
guests the ladies of their family. Tht
only thing which Senator Fair lacks i:
an elegant house in which to entertain
and confidence enough in debate to d
/ his own work.

Bob Ingersolls father was a ire
mendous preacher. On one occasion
he so wildly portrayed the horrors of
the Judgment day and the tortnres Of
hell, that the whole audience (which
came some Mies from the country
around) was swayed like trees by a
strong wind; strong men wept, women
walled, and nearly all were upon their
knees. He commenced to speak at
one O'Clock, and when the people left
the church the sun was setting.

A second SmeIter for HALEY.
Wood River Times

Last Wednesday afternoon, John
Horton, manager OF the Last Chance
mining property, of Atlanta, Idaho,
secured. bond on 25 acres of the
ranch taken up last spring at the
mouth Of Croy gnlch, OH the outskirts
of Haley. The bond is to hold for 80
days. the price fixed for the land being
81 900. Mr. Horton is operating on
Wood River for a New York company
and has already secured several claims
on Lookout Mountain, just below
Bellevue. From the fact that he en-
gagged a smelter site near Haley, five
miles from his claims, instead of near
Bellevue, close to his claims, it is ar
gued, and with considerable plausible
ity, that, although recent arrival
here, he is aware that HALEY is much
more favorably located than Bellevue
and that, in order to succeed, smelt-
er who would work custom ore, must
be near where tie most ore is. The
site secu ed by Mr. Horton is hand,
to Wood river, down which the wooC
and charcoal must come, and is The
most desirable in all this section.

Important Mining Decision.
Mining and Scientific Press.

The important mining decision rem
dered by Justice Miller iii the Circuit
Court of Colorado, which was recent
Iy referred to as having nearly reached
the point of final review BY the Uni.
ted States Supreme Court, is to the
effect that no mineral land patent can
legally issue for more than l60 acres,
and that if a number of original loca-
tons have been consolidated into one
claim, each of the locations must be
treated as distinct claim, aud adver-
tised and proved up with proof of sep
arate work upon it. This decision, il
sustained by the Supreme Court,
would, it is said, destroy two-thirds
of the patents heretofore issued for
mining claims, and make the procur.
ing of patents for most Of the old
claims impossible, because of the i'm
practicability of making proof Of ole
locations, and because in most instan
ces separate work has not been done
ON the old locations, which have beer
consolidated into larger claims. Thus
shaft sunk on a consolidated claim
has been held to be work done in ev
cry part of it, but the Circuit Cour
Judgment overthrows thai principle
The appealed case has been twice ar
gued in the Supreme Court, and it
forthcoming decision is awaited witt
great interest.

Test for Gold.

There is simple method of the de-
lection Of gold in quartz, pyri.es, etc,
which is not generally described in
the neurological text books. It's an
adaptation Of the we'll known anna Iga-
nation process. and serves to detect
any minute traces Of gold.
Place the finely powdered and roas-
ted mineral in test tube. add water
and single drop of mercury; close
the test tube with the thumb, and
shake thoroughly and for some time.
Decant the water, add more and de-
cant repeatedly, thus washing the drop
Of mercury until it is perfectly clean.
The drop Of mercury contains any gold
that may have been present. Il is
therefore placed in a small porcelain
capsule and heated until the mercury
is volatilized, and the residue of gold
is left iii the bottom of the capsule
This residue may be tested either b.
dissolving in aqua regia and obtaining
| the purple of Cassius with protochlo-
ride of tin, or by taking up with {
fragment of moist filter paper, ant
then fusing to globule on cbarcoa
], in the blowpipe fame.
i 1t is being shown that gold is mucl
more universally distributed than wa
formerly supposed. 1t has recent.
been found ID Fulton and Saratog'
connties, New York, where it occur
in pyriies. 1t has also been discoy

How to Measure am Acre.

Few farmers know the size of their
fields or how many acres they contain,
though it is desirable at all times and
sometimes necessary that they should.
An exchange, referring to this matter,
says: "a measuring cord should be
part of the furniture on every farm.
To make one, procure sixty-seven feet
of strong rope, one inch round; make
a loop or fasten ring Oh bar ateach
end, and make these precisely sixty
six feet apart. This is four rods.
Then tie piece Of red rag in the
center. One acre of ground will be
a piece foar of the cords (chains) long
and two and one-half wide, equal tc
sixteen by ten rods, making 100 square
rods to oae acre. The advantage o
the ring or loop is that one person Cal
measure alone by driving a stake il
the ground to hold the rope while ht
stretches it out. The rope should b.
soaked in tar AMI dried, which xvi!
prevent it from shrinking when wet
