is the most precarious business in the

think SO in 1860, when you were push
ing an ore car in the Ophir minc?"

Sand Power,

The Mexican arastra has always been
a cheap and inexpensive method OF ex-
tracing placer gold from our canyons,
but some power was necessary. Mules
and burrOs were used, and sometimes
Indian power, but now new discovery
has been made which is being used
with great success in Memo and Inyo
counties and is run by q flow of sand.
1t would be of immense value to mines
on our deserts which are not now
worked on account of dryness, etc,
but where there is an overwhelming
superfluity of sand. Sufficient water is
necessary for drinking purposes and to
properly moisten the ore. The arastras
are operated by sand, which drives u
large overshot wheel. On this wheel
sand takes the place of water. The
regulator is sand, pile of which has
been rakcd up to the works. The wind
mill runs belt containing a great
number of buckets, and these carry the
sand up to n big tank, just as elevators
carry wheat in Touring mill. A stream
of sand being let out upon the ovcrshot
wheel, it revolves just rs it would un-
der the weight of II stream of water,
and the arastras move steadily on at
their work. When there is much wind
sand is stored up for the use when
calm prevails, as the arastras are never
idle. After a sufficient quantity of
sand has once been collected there is
no trouble on that score, the same be-
ing used over and over. Who will try
this inexpensive but promising process
in our southern California placers dur
ing the dry season.-Los angeles Her.
