New GOld-saving Apparatus.

The Mining and Scientific Press
gives the following description of a
new goId-saving apparatus, which is
particularly applicable to the saving
OF fine float gold, and the particles of
mercury also.
IN an ordinary sluice is placed
grating or grizzly, through which the
finer sand, gold, ETC.. fall into the I'M
dercurrent, and this undercurrent has
also a screen, through which the finest
sand and valuable portions fall into a
common sluice leading them to hop
per, which is the commencement of
the apparatus proper. just beneath
this hopper is a horizontal table or
plate, upon which the earth and wa
ter TALL, and are by it divided and
caused to flow off on each side, where
they fall upon two other plates, which
again subdivide the material and de.
livers it upon screen. This screen
separates the material into FIVE
streams, which fall very short dis
lance upon horizontal copper or ANAL
gamated plates. The inventor thinks
an inch and a quarter fall is sufficient
to bring all the particles of precious
metal into intimate contact with the
plate without producing that tendency
to ",cour," as it is termed, which a
rapid current or high fall will do
From this series of plates the material
falls upon second screen, through
which it passes, aud is received upon
a second series of amalgamated plates
also placed horizontally but short
distance below the screen.
This apparatus is placed in box
/ which has an inclined bottom, over
which the residue passes to quick
silver trap, where the last remnant of
gold may be saved. and from which
the useless tailings will escape. The
front or side of this box has an inclined
hinged door, through which the plate
may be removed to be cleaned up OF
examined at amy time. This gate or
door is kept locked, the plates being
kept thus in position where they
cannot be examined or touched by
outsiders.
TIE theory of this invention is that
by thus subdividing the material and
allowing it To fall short distance
upon the horizontal amalgamating
plates. it will be brought into imme
date contact with the surface, and
will be canght and saved; and there

The Forest King boys, after sink
ing their shaft down fifty feet, from
the tunnel, started drift east, which
has been driven in fifty feet. In the
tunnel the vein was broken up, but
after sinking a short distance it be-
came compact, and continued SO to
the bottom of the shaft and also us far
as the drift has been run. The
vein is from eighteen inches to three
feet in width, and all good pay ore.
There is seam on the hanging wall
about foot wide that prospects first
rate. The shaft didn't take in this one,
and as it has not been prosecuted
for, what it amounts to below is yet
to be determined. The Forest King
is one of those veins that improves
with depth.
G. 7. KEYS writes to w. B. Noble,
under date of the 18th, that it has
been six days since the HALEY stage
was due at Boise, and as there has
been heavy snow storms along the
route, it is feared the sleigh is
snowbound somewhere on the road.
A party has gone out from Boise.
1t is very probable that the stage
made a stop at one of the stations.
The Encampment I. c. R. c. and
Lodge of l. O. G. T., are being we'll
attended, and the interest recently ia
ken by members of these Orders, have
been of the most imposing character,
50 much so that members are all anx-
ious to attend. This is right, and we
hope that no outside influences may
be brought to bear to keep members
| from attending regularly.

OUR DICKS RIVAL.

Our own beloved Dick, Of Ten
nessee, whose flights Of eloquence
have rang out through the corridors
of the national capitol, breaking the
dull monotony of routine legislation,
and thrilling the hearts of sleepy
spectators, has formidable rival in
the person Of Congressman Robin
son, who represents the culture and
intelligence of the city of Brooklyn.
He has been heard On divers occa-
sions during the present session OF
Congress, and in way that must be
very gratifying to bis aesthetic con-
stituents, who pride themselves upon
their intelligence and refinement. He
made a speech few days ago on the
subject of American citizens in
British prisons, which we find in the
Congressional Record and from
which we make the following eloquent
extract:

forts could have accomplished in this

COL. COLE RESIGNS.

It will be seen by our dispatches
this morning that Col. E. ". Cole
has rendered his resignation as pres
ident of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad Company and
that Gen. Samuel Thomas has been
elected as his successor. The reason
given for this step by Col. Cole is i'll
health. It has been known for some
time that he meditated resigniDg
aud his resignation is not unexpect
ed by bis friends. He will doubtless
retire to more private life, and if
he engages in business at all, it will
be where less activity IS required
and where the strain upon his men
tai and physical constitution will be
less severe. Few men in this coun-
