JUNGLE REMlJS 4"

Mr.. Joel Chandler Harris, "Uncle Re-
mus" was discussed by literary club in
Atlanta, Ca, the other evening, and was
described by one of his friends as the
plainest of all plain men. He is never
untidy, but "his trousers always bag at
the knees, and if he didn't have at least
one button off his coat he would not be
happy. In justice to his head gear, let
me say that he always wears the nobbiest
derby hat and red hair, and carries a rus
tic hickory cane. 1t was scut from the
virgin forest near his West End home,
and he was never known to be without
it. He is not lame, but the hickory cane
is as necessary to his makeup as the red
cravat that ever adOrns his shirt front to
keep up kind of harmonious blending
with his stubby mousuache and hair. In
his general appearance. therefore, it may
be accepted that if he be not unique, he
is, at least, old-fashioned."

HOW TO KEEP CELLARS DRY AND
COOL

\ great mistake is sometimes made in
object of ventilation is to keep the cellars
cool and dry, but this object often fails
of being accomplished by common mis-
take, and instead the cellar is made both
warm and damp. A cool place should
never be ventilated, unless the air admit
ed is cooler than the air within, or is at
least as cool as that or very little
warmer. The warmer the air the more
moisture it holds in suspension. Neces-
sarily, the cooler the air the more moist
ure is condensed and precipitated.
When cool cellar is aired on warm
day, the entering air in motion appears
cool; but as it fills the cellar the cooler
air with which it becomes mixed chills 1t,
the moisture is condensed, and dew is
deposited on the cool wals,and may often
be seen running down them in streams.
Then the cellar is damp and soon becomes
mouldy. To avoid this. the windows
should only be opened at night, late-the
last thing before retiring. There is no
need to fear that the night air is I'M
healthy-it is pure as the air at midday,
and is really drier. The cool air enters
the apartment during the night, and cir
culates through it. The windows should
be closed before sunrise in the morning,
and kept closed and shaded through the
day. Ii the air of the cellar is damp, it
may be thoroughly dried by placing in it
peck of fresh lime in an open box.
This quantity of lime will absorb about

The NORTH WALES GOLD FIELDS.
DoLGELLY, Dec. 49,.

Dec ~
One of the ~fnyOurite outings of
visitors to yarmouth and Dolgelly
during the summer season is a drive
to the PistyIly-caen Waterfall and
Rhaiadr MaWddach, and of the thou
sands who have made this delightful
trip very few have had any idea of
the nature of the district in which
they have found themselves. The
car-driver would, however, certainly
have directed attention to the ruined
building where formerly workings
were carried on unsuccesSfully by
gold prospectors. just where the
TWO streams formed by the falls make
a junction commences the estate of
Gwynfynydd, which Mr.. PritclIard
Morgan purchased about four years
ago, andnpou whichhe is now carrying
on the operations which excite so much
interest. The statement of q former
shareholder in the old Gwynfynydd
mining enterprise has been published,
and itshows how much money had been
lost there and how complete was the
disappointment of those who invested
in the old undertaking but it is
the same story in mining Of every
sort-how one set of spectators open
the ground and exhaust the capital
Just when they are within touch of
the riches they sought, and how a
second set of capitalists come in and
reap the benefit Of the whole enter
prise. Such would seem to be the
case at Gwynfynydd, The gentle
MAI who has commenced the work
of exploiting the Mawddach Valley
and the hills in that neighbourhood is
no novice in gold mining, and, there
fore, not one likely to be mistaken in
regard to the real nature of any dis
covery he may make. Least of all
is he likely to think he al succeed
where others failed, unless he has
full reason for entertaining such a
belief. Mr.. Pritchard Morgan is so
we'll satisfied with the value of the
discoveries he has made that he has
bought the charming mansion Of

the left a tunnel about 25Olt. long
leads 10 the spot where a very rich
lode has been struck, ana where q
cursOry examination with the aid OF
the candle shows brilliant specks dot
ted all over the quartz. In another
direction a great lode Of 6Oft. in width
has been reached. Later ON my guide
took ne over the crest OF the hill and
showed the Oulcrop of the quartz in
various places, and led me TO Il new
shaft which is being struck directly
into this 6Oft. loIe. Besides the
smaller ones, there are two main
lodes which the workings are direct
ell upon. These run parallel at a
distance OF 50 or 60 yards, and both,
so far as ''proyed," are exceptionally
rich. They would, it is said he con
sidered rich even in Australia. The
mouth of the adjt is about a hundred
feet from the summit Of the hill and
from hiSanarrOw tramrOad runs down
into the valley, where on arrival at
the building previously mentioned
the quartz will be thrown into a crush
ing machine, which will break it up
into pieces about as big as all egg,
and then another machine will grind
it into rough powder. Thence the
ore comes under a set of vertical
stamps" These hammers in sets Of
five, rise and fall alternately at the
rate of 20 blows per minute, puIveris-
ING the ore into fine dIst. \ flow of
water afterwards forces it through u
wire screen, and IN passing this OBJ
stacle Il very important stage ~
reached, The dust glides over an
inclined apron, which is electro-pIat-
ed with copper, and Il certain quaint
~ of Quicksilver is introduced into
the ore. This causes the PARTICLES OF
gold to amalgamate and to adhere to
the apron, while the refuse is carried
away by the water. But although u
considerable percentage OF the pure
metal is thus eliminated, the ore is bv
no means done with. It passes INTO a
troughlikc machine called the con-
contractor, where the ron pyritrs is
chemically separated from the quartz
and afterwards roasted in order to
get rid of sulphur. 1t is her treated
by the chlorine process, which dis
solves the gold, and this is precipitat-
ed by means OF sulphate OF iron,
Some gold quartz requires a repeti-
tion of this elaborate treatment, for
gold is often present in large quaint
ties, but so fine that a microscope
will not discover it, aud the stamping
machine has no effect. The whole
Of the gold is subsequently purified
from all alloy and dross, and made up
in small bars, some of which may now
be seen at Mr.. Morgan's London

manent residence there. FOrfOur years
he has been al work on the Gwynfy-
nydd estate, and has subjected not
only that but also the whole district
to a careful examination. securing for
himself the rights of working upon
land through which the valuable lodes
run. Mr.. Morgan is a native of Usk,
and after being artIcled with q firm
of solicitors in South Wales, he emf
grated to Queensland, where he as
sisted in drawing up the Government
regulations TOR gold mining, and
where, for I6 years, he was e
cd in gold mining ventures, from which
he has realised such success as has
enabled him TO lay out G80.OOO in
purchasing land in the Mawddach
district. His residence, BryntiriOn,
is surrounded by 300 acres, and up at
the mines he has close upon 1000
acres in freehold and lease hold, part
of the latter being with the option of
purchase. Very much Of the neigh
bouring land has been taken up by a
syndicate, OF which Mr.. Morgan is the
director, and 'Ihr strongest living
fnancier" is, he asserts, behind MIN.
Nj. Morgan during the interview |
had with him stated that there is
already ''in sight" between ESQ 900
and 100000 worth of gold. Mr.
Yautin, consulting geologi$t to the
@ IeensIand Government, has been
over the working, and his estimate is
that the proved ground" contains
$4,000, 600 worth of gold. NJ. Nor
gan expects to 90 to Windsor in the
middle OF January with a bar of gold
weighing 1cwt. for exhibition to the
Queen. Crushing machinery made
by the Sandycroft Foundry Company
near Chester is being put up and will
he in operation next week. This will
deal with about 400 tons. Of quartz
weekly and as the estimate Of result
ranges from two oun ces of gold in the
ton, the worth of the mine will soon, Mr..
Morgan declares, be proved beyond
question. One,eighth of an ounce in
the ton will repay working. conse
quentIy, il two ounces or more are
gained, the lode is one of exceeding
richness. Whether as the proprietor
anticipates, the works will ever pro-
duce as much as "a million a year"
in gold is as predetermined as most
questions connected with mining ven
lures. 1t was on July IL that MIR. Nor
gan received a communication from
his manager, "Struck heavy gold"
and ever since then that lode has
been found exceptionally rich. Two
ounces to the o is the lowest esti-
mate vet made Of the average yield.
1t is the opinion of those who have
amined the country that The lode bears
from Gwynfynydd almost due west,
dipping under the sea Mt Harlech.
To the eastward of GwyfyRydd it is
believed to make a sharp turn south

his manager has life long experience
