Beyond question the che ipsst and mort
| effective 10 .chine Of the kind now In uss,
adapted TO all grades and olasses Of ore.
| THIS machine has been thoroughly tested
| for tbs past two years upder great variety
of CONDITIONS giving most extraofdinay re.
suits, far In advance Of anything ever be-
fore realized.
A recent competitive test made with the
| Frus At the Carlisle mine IN New Mexico
showed gn advantage Of 30 per cont in favor

Frus being sufficient to pay the entire cost
OF ths machines nearly everv month IN the
year.
Tho following is an enumeration Of ITS
many advantages over sll other machines;
FIssr- Its cost is not more than half that
Of any other Of equal capacity, and the
weight Ia nearly l,6O0 pounds less, thus
greatly reducing the cost Of transportation
SEcoSD-The expense OF setting up In
rum ing erder is not more than one third
that of the Frue. or any other belt machine
much less grading and timber work being
necessary
TmaD-T The expenditure for repair is not
more thar one fifth that Of any Delt ma
chine, and they viii last fally three times
as long. working under the same conditions.
FouErR.-Not more than one-hah the
space IL fequired-a ps,iut of great impor.
tance where a conside rabls number are ussd.
FryTa--No special skill and very little
oare is necessary TO operate IL.
SIITH-No more water n required than 10
furnished by the batteries.
SEvsNrR-It ssves all tho arnalgam, gold
or silver that escapes tho b bttterics, pans or
settlers-si, invaluable feature. and claim.
ed by no other, making the machine worth
more than u costs for this purpose alone.
EfonrH-A much coarser grade of ore can
be handled successfully than by any other
mschine--a great advantage In many in.
stances where 6ne cruahing IL not necessary
to eliminate the mineral.
NMTB--It has no small aud delicste me.
chanism, requiring nice adjust n,ent and ths
closest attention-an Insuperable objectiOp
to all bolt and other forms of machines, ma
king them unfit for the rough service OF
qua tz mill.
TENrH-Great simplicity Of construction
and small number Of wearing parts. Tue
whole machine is comprised In seventeen
any special wear, and these can be raplacsd
at nominal cost. The Frue has lib pieces
and some similar machines many more, ma.
king a complication Of parts that involves
constant repair and great erpeuss IN this
way as we'll as in loss OF time.
We are aware that the most sweeping and
pretentious claims are made for nearly
every c.inceft rator Ia the market, but IL IL

operation have not in any instsncs taade

THE CHOLERA OUTBREAK,
Forty Thousand People Flee From Toulon
to Escape the Plague.

The cholera outbreak produces eff
fects as tragic and sometimes as comic as
were ever described in The many accounts
in history or fiction. The panic In Toulon
is almost disgusting. Out OF 10000 tax
payers, 5000 have fled, as many as 6,C)0
going in a single day. Terror has even ex-
tended to the marines, Tor when the adj
miral allowed them 10 leave on good cause
shown, every marine produced letter With
such cause. l. Dor is suspended; CONNER
cial acceptances c.nnot he p.i'i; numerous
failures occur daily, and the supply OF pro-
visions almost stopped, nbo,ing people
having no money TO buy. All this tends en-
ormously to increase the pla3 he. Refugees
usually occupy houses in the suburbs, ut
terly unfit for Initiation by large masses of
people. Launlresses have refused to wash
the linen Of hospital patients. The work is
done by prisoners tn promises Of pardon.
Some of the families in their flight left their
valuables behind, and one OF the difficulties
of the civic authorities is to keep off thieves
from the plentiful hal vest. Two thousand
Italians, who have been sent outside the
town, are prevented from moving there
from, either on French or toward Italian
territory, by Italian carribine on one side,
and French gend'al mes on the other. In
London carbolc acid is strewn over some of
he streets, and cholera hos suddenly been
lifted to the position of parliamentary ar
