WORKING OF GOLD DIRT.

A. W. CheIIis Fails to Give an Exhibi-
ton of His Goid-Saving Device.
A. w. Chellis, who gave au exhibition of
device whereby gold might be saved by i is
susceptibility to electrical attraction to
other metal, which exhibition he was ad-
vertised to repeat at the Palace Hotel
before local scientists, failed to do so, and
considerable disappointment was felt by
many persons interested in gold and min
ing. Mr.. Chellis was at the hotel early in
the day, but was not present at the adver-
tised time.
Among his callers was E. W. Keller Of
this city, who is the inventor of gold
saving machine combining all the known
improvements. The machinery is sub
merged in tank of any desired dimensions.
The dirt is conveyed to hopper, from
which it flows to plates revolving on both
sides. In the water are particles of quick
silver, which are kept continually in mo-
ton. These attract the gold, and, together,
they are preeipitated into centrifugal roll
ers, where cleanup is made. The float
gold is saved by overlooking into tank.

SUSPICIOUS BURNINGS.

A Mission Residence Set on Fire While
the Owner Is Away.
Fire Marshal Towe has been Informed
that mysterious fire took place in the
home Of Edward A. D0olittle, 108 San Jose
avenue, about 10 o'clock last Sunday night.
When DoOlittle opened the door on his re-
turn home he was almost blinded with
smoke coming from inside. Engine Com
pany 10 was summoned on still alarm.
and it was found that the bedding In one
of the rooms was on fire. The blaze was
quickly extingushed, but had the fire re-
manned undiscovered much longer it is
probable that it would have gained such
Roadway that the house would have been
destroyed.
An Investigation revealed the fact that
some one had entered the house through a
window, which bears the marks of a
Jimmy" and started the fire. The win
dow had been pried open.
The fire in the home of Mrs. Margaret
McEvoy, 1897 Jackson street, last Monday
afternoon was also reported as being sus-
picious. Fire Marshal TOwe investigated
the matter and found there was no reason
for arson in the case and that the fire had
evidently been caused by spark falling
from stove upon some firew0od.

TAKES AWAY HIS BREATH.
Colonel Jackson New Yet to Sui
Treasury Transactions.

Colonel Jackson New Yet to Sub
Treasury Transactions.
"There are some things about the work
of running this sub-treasury Of Uncle Sam
that | have not as yet become used to-" said
the new Assistant Treasurer, j. P. Jack
son, to a CALL reporter yesterday. "The
magnitude of some of the daily transactions
has tendency to take my breath away.
For instance, when / see check for $780,
600 come in and be treated by the old EN-
ployes with the same Indifference that they
receive one for $40, am apt to feel ner-
vous lest they may be careless.
ION the other hand, when l see two or
three clerks go solemnly through the form
of transferring an entry of one cent from
one set of books to another, and do it with
all the care that they give to an entry in
volying millions, l feel like laughing over
the righteousness Of the thing. But, after
all, in financial transactions it is one and
the same thing to veteran cashier, whether
the check which he is handling has one
dollar or one million written upon it. /
suppose that | will become as steady at it
alter awhile as the oldest veteran of them
all"
The count of the coin still speadily pro-
ceeds. The experts have tackled the $40,
600. 900 in the side vault and counted over
100000 600 yesterday. The aptitude of
Cashier Burns in handling money has
astonished the Government experts. They
say he is the best man at it they have yet
met in their rounds. Mr.. jackson takes
considerable pride in his gilt-edged cashier.

II is reported that Postmaster Bryan, who
VIII be succeeded in that Office on July 1st by
S. W Backus, viii be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Mayor of this city, ru-
NOR Of this kind has been in existence for soma
time, but It is now said that his friends are
actively al work and Will push his interests with
Y1gor.
1t is believed, however. that the present Au-
dHor, Fleet t. ST. other, has been slated for the
place by Buckley. Notwithstanding his reiterated
assertions that lie VIII be content to succeed
himself 10 his present Office. There is no reason
TO believe that lie is altogether sincere in bis
statements, bur those who keep sharp eye gu
tie political barometer claim that II Buckley is
not already pledged to him he Will mud an op-
ponent in Colin NJ. Boyd.
la view OF this ii is hard to determine Just
how Btyan's friends expect TO pull him through,
but they may rely Of course on the fact that
buckley has been known TO change his slate at
tile last moment
