Connecticut is acquiring an unenvia-
bile notoriety by its failure to pete
Justice to its murderers. Some one
has been looking at the record, and it
shows that during a period of thirty
years, from 1850 to 1880, ninety seven
persons were tried for murder in the
first degree. OF these only thirteen
were convicted of that crime, and not
moro than seven were hanged.

has been made which is being used with

and is run by flow of sand. 1t would
be Of immense value for mines on our
deserts which are not now worked on
account Of dryness, ETC., but where
there is an overwhelming superfuity of
sand. Sufficient water is necessary for
drinking purposes, and to properly
moisten the ore. The arastras are ope-
rated by sand. which drives a large
over-shot wheel. On this wheel sand
takes the place OF water. The regulator
is sand, pile of which has been raked
up to the works. The windmill Rms a
belt containing great number of buckets
and these carry the sand up to.a big
tank, just as grain elevators carry wheat
in Touring mill. A stream Of sand
being let out upon the over-shot wheel,
it revolves just as it would under the
weight Of stream of water, and the
arastras move steadily on at their
work. When there is much wind, sand
is stored up for use when calm prevails,
as the arastras are never idle. After a
sufficient quantity Of sand has once been
accumulated there is no more trouble ON
that score, the same being used over and
over. Who will try this inexpensive but
promising process in our Southern Cali
fornia placers during the dry season.
