and agent and cure-worker for Coughs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of Blood

and Lungs, and Eilerts Daylight Pills

pleasant in action ; operate without
disturbance to the system, diet or occu-
patton. Both are guaranteed. For

Where the Nickel Comes From.

In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud-
bury, Canada, it is said more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
of the world calls for at current prices.
A little branch off the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railway, four miles in
length, leads out to the mine, which
opens into the face of crag of the brown,
oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic
of this region. The miners are now at
work at depth Of about 300 feet below
the surface AS fast as the nickel and
copper bearing rock is hoisted out, it is
broken up and piled upon long beds, or
ricks, of pine wood, to be calcined or
roasted, for the purpose of driving out
the sulphur which it contains. The roast
ing process is of the nature of lime kiln
ing or charcoal burning. Each great bed
of ore requires from one to two months
to roast. When roasted the rock goes to
the principal smelter, powerful blast
furnace "jacketed' mining phrase
with running water, to enable it to slls-
tain the great heat requisite to reduce
the crude, obdurate mineral to fiudity.
The dross of the molten mass is first
allowed to flow off, and afterward the
nearly pure nickel and copper, blended
together in an alloy called the 'mat," or
matte, is drawn off at the base of the
furnace into the barrow pots and wheeled
away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool
in the yard of the smelter. The mat con-
tains about 70 per cent. of nickel, the re-
manning so per cent. being mainly cop
per. When cold, the conical pot loaves
of mat can easily be cracked in pieces
by means of heavy hammers. The frag-
ments arc then packed in barrels and
shipped to Swansea, in Wales, and to
Germany, where the two constituent
metals are separated and refined by secret
processes, which are very jealousy
guarded by the manufacturers.
So jealousy is the secret kept that no
one in America has yet been able to learn
the process, although one young metal
lurgist spent three years in Swansea as a
common laborer in the factories in order
to obtain it, At present there are pro-
duced daily at the Copper Cliff mine
about ninety pot loaves of mat, each
weighing near $50 pounds, an output
which yields an aggregate of more than
1000 tons of nickel a year.-Manufac-
turing Jeweler.

The Chinese Silk Festival.

We, who are always grateful to our
bencfactors, honor the inventor of the
art of silk culture with real perpetual
cult. Besides the temples which we have
erected in all the corners of the empire,
her majesty the empress goes every year
at the Matching season, in person, with
all her suite, and in great. pomp, to the
field of the mulberry, to sacrifice to the
goddess who was the queen of the En-
peror Hoang-Ti. After the ceremony at
the temple, her majesty, followed by her
ladies, goes into the field, and, surrounded
by the farmers wives, cooks some null
berry leaves and lays them on a basket
containing the newly Matched worms.
The festival is closed with her winding a
cocoon by way of setting an example, in
the presence of the people, and distrib-
uting gifts to those persons who have
been reported by the authorities of their
villages as most worthy by reason of
their fidelity in attention to the care of
the silk worms.
This ceremony, which is one of the
most important of those her majesty has
to perform during tho year, is great
incentive to the silk raising population,
who cannot neglect their own work
when they see their sovereign occupied
in the same way. An old proverb says
that can idle farmer causes two persons
to die of hunger, and a woman who will
not weave will see ten dying of cold"
The proverb illustrates the value of en-
enlargement, and shows that silk worm
raising and weaving are duties of the
women.-"Chinese Silk LORE" by Gen.
Tcheng HI j. Tong in Popular Science

Split Gold Coins.

"Two tens for twenty, please" said a
gentleman. to the cashier in the county
treasurers Office.
The cashier took the "twenty" and
rang it on the counter. 1t had that pc.
culiar dull ring that characterizes coun-
terfeit coins. He rung it a second time
and then inspected it critically.
els that bogus9" asked the owner of
the coin.
"Oh, no." answered the cashier; it's
good as wheat, but split"
Continuing, he said: "That is the first
split twenty I ever ran across. The
stamping machine at the mint some
times comes down too hard on the coins
and splits them; but it is seldom the
larger coins split. It's mostly 'flves' that
suffer. But they are very careful at the
mint and stop every split coin they de-
tect. Now, in the thousands of dollars
handled here every year rarely find a
split coin. don't think I've found more
than four or five in a year, and, as say
the coins were mostly S. pieces"
The split SEQ piece looked perfect, and,
SO far as the eye could detect, bore no
flaw of any kind. The only fault with
it was in the ring" and the split made
it sound "dead" when thrown on the
counter.-San Francisco Examiner,

-assco-7; liz, Feb. s4.-The fine'
large storas dam built across the Has
sayampa river by the Walnut Grove
Water Storage company two years ago
at cost of $500, 200 gave way under the
great pressure of a heavy flood and
swept everything before it. Forty per-
sons are known to have lost their lives.
AS the town of Wickenburg, thirteen
miles below the dam, was on the same
stream, great fears are entertained for
the safety of that town, but as there is
no Geographic communication no news
has yet been received. The service dam
of the company, located fifteen miles
below the reservoirs, and fifteen miles
of fume just approaching completion,
were swept away. Altogether the COM
pany has spent 100000 on the enter
prise of storing the water. The ny
draulic mining machine had arrived,
and they expected to commence opera
lions next week. The dam which held
the waters back was 10 feet long at the
base and 400 feet at the top. 1t was 10
feet at the base and ten feet at the top,
forming lake three miles in length by
three-fourths of mile wide and 40
feet deep. Lieut.. Brodie, in charge
of the work, was absent at Phoenix SUI
perintending the shipment of the ma
chinery to the works and was saved.

DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.

A Tornado Could Have Made No Cleaner
Sweep-Loss of Life Over Sixty.
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. ga messen-
ger has arrived here from the scene of
the recent disaster at the Walnut Grove
dam with a list of the lost as far as
known and partial list of the survivors.
Sheriff O'Neill in a letter by this mes
senger writes as follows:
Rouark's Ranch, Feb. "a.
The scene of desolation along Hassay
ampa below sites of dams is complete.
Tornado could not have made such COM
plete wreck. For miles waters turned
loose by breaking of dams have filled bed
of creek with bodies, and with enormous
boulders, trees and every other kind of
debris. Following thirtyeight names
are partial list of drowned: Here fol-
lows list of names.) Besides these men
toned some twelve or fifteen miners
who were placer mining between the
upper and lower lam, with number of
ranchers along the stream, are missing,
and when all the casualties are ascer-
tanned the entire loss will probably be
between fifty and sixty lives.
No victims were wounded; all were
drowned. The flood struck the lower
dam at 1850 p. m. Five minutes later
the headquarters five miles below was
swept away. Several persons were at
both points watching, but notwithstand-
ing this precaution the number of men
drowned at the first point was over
thirty, and those who escaped did so
with only what they had on their backs,
many only in their night clothes. Early
on the evening of the 21st a courier,
William Akard, was sent from this up
per to the lower dam to warn the resi-
dents at the latter point that the former
structure was in danger of breaking
but owing to the storm and darkness he
could not keep ahead of the flood, and
lost his life in trying to cross the Hasa
yampa within view of the survivors Of
the camp he had tried to save. Charles
Thompson, a courier, who has just ar
rived from below Wickenburg and who
lost his ranch above the lower dam, re-
ports that nine bodies have been discov-
cred at Wickenburg and three above, in
addition to those already discovered.
The old historic Brill ranch. with all
other ranches along the river, has been
entirely swept away.
