HINTS TO PRosPEoTORs.
A Veterans suggestions to Inexperi-
enced Gold seekers.
Virginia ehronicle.l

Virginia Chronicle.
As the interest in gold quartz min
ing is increasing SO generally in Ne
vada perhaps a few hints to the noviees
would be timely. 1t is supposed OF
course that you can determine quartz.
In prospecting your ledge, if the out
crop is dim, take your dirt from each
place where decomposed quartz shows.
Number such place and put CORE
spending number in your sack of dirt.
Devote one day to this, sampling the
entire ledge AT intervals.
The following day wash all your
samples in pan, if deeomposed, crush
in a mortar and horn il hard rock.
If any of the samples carry go the
following day win pick and shovel
and sink on the ledge where you OBJ
taiDed the best prospect and sample
every six inches across the ledge, taxi
ing an eight pound sample of each
ana amalgamatlng it III your pau.
Retort and weigh, using Melville At
woods table OF computations. Ii
your gold is free you now have an APP
proximate extimate Of what your rock
will mill.
When surphurets exis, find their
percentage and value by fire assay.
Don't bother with acid tests unles you
have all the necessary experience and
appliances. You arc now prepared to
develop as long as your funds and the
ledge justify.
Never leave your pay chute, sam
pie daily and you Will not lose 1t.
The development to facilitate econom-
ical working must be done by capital.
Don't be discouraged by local ideas.
The energetic prospector will find good
indications under the very nose OF
those local chaps who "know 1t all.
Gold fields Tor prospecting can be
found above placer dlggings. Don't
stick to any geological rnles-gold IS
where you find it. Contact between
two different formations IS always Ia
yorable. The states, syenItes, gran
lies ami dIorilcs are all eengenlal
rocks. Remember the old Spanish
belief Iron IS the father and quartz
tie mother OF gold. In It's original
state gold viii always be found
assimuIated with fne-grained SUI
phldes of iron. You will need for an
outfit poll pick, short handled
shovel, mortar and pestle, gold
pan, a horn spoon, 40-mesh selve,
lew ounces of mercury, ten sampling
sacks, (made of drilling) and light
canvas sampling cloth 3x4 feet.
Take d barley sack, put in your
tools and swing on your back as a foot
peddler does. Your arms and hands
are thus free and your load hardly
noticeable. Take it easy. Your judg-
ment is not worth Adam when you
get fatigued.

The Photograph as Court Reporter

Photographs are now being en-
ployed in New York City courts for

whom cannot interpret their hero

The Company own S,OO0 teet OF
placer ground in Robinson Canyon,
commencing at the mouth of the
canyon and running 5000 feet along
its course to the Joanna mine. They
have sunk two shafts one about 900
feet from the mouth of the canyon,
and at depth of 40 feet find large
quantities Of black sand, with good
prospects of fine gold, and have not
reached bedrock. Shaft No ? is about
1000 feet from tie mouth Of the
canyon and the rim rock was struck
at Il depth OF 30 feet This prospects
we'll in coarse gold and is getting
richer as depth is attained on the rim
rock. Several pans taken cut of the
incline going as high rs 30 cents to
the pan--the gravel averaging about
cents to the pan-eaving no doubt
that the channel is rich. Some pieces
on the rim rock weighed as high as
10 cents. The company is going to
start several other shafts to thoroughly
prospect their ground, and have every
confidence of finding placers that will
rival the richest spots in California in
the palmiest days.
The recent storms and heavy snow
have retarded prospecting, but the
company has determined to have
things in shape to take advantage of
the spring thaws, and will sluice
enough dirt to prove beyond doubt
that the ground is diyidend-paying
investment.

ensuing six months are as follows:

We ask a cash payment of 1.5O per acre and
no other cash payment will be required, as the
balance can be paid for in COrdwood obtained
in clearing the land.
We bind ourselves to buy from the settlers all
the wood at market rates.
The land is adjoining the railroad and from
Il to miles from the village.
Never before has better opportunity been
offered TO the mar OF moderate means, to obtain
q home in e healthy and fertile region and
thereby gain independence.
We do not expect that anybody should take our
word regarding these lands, but ask everybody
DESTROYS of purchasing land to convince them-
selves. A talk with one or more of the settlers
living around there will give the land seeker a
our circulars and advertisements. We abstain,
therefore, from singing prafses and only beg OF
the people to 80 there and judge for themselves.
The fare is only $1.68 and 1t takes less than a
day to 60 there and return and to see all that is
necessary of the land.
We will add that there are large steam saw
and planning mills in the immediate neighbor-
borhoOd employing hundreds of men, where
settlers on the land can obtain good and steady
work during summer and winter.
OBSERVE THIS and come in and see us be-
fore you go out West to look for land. You

An Unscrupulous Turk.

Mr.. Rowland, of W. & j. Sloane, tells
the following good story on himself as il
Illustrative of the quickness of the Turkish
merchant at grasping an opportunity, de-
spite an apparent slowness: II happened
to drop into bazar in Cairo merely out
of curiosity. After had looked at num-
ber of things without finding any that
suited me l happened to notice an old rug
which lay on the floor and which had some
good points. My experience told me that
the rug was worth at the utmost a8. I
asked the old fellow how much he wanted
for it, and he once concluded that I wanted
it badly and asked Els.
offered him five, and then we proceeded
in the usual way to dicker. I had gotten
him down to twelve, and he had gotten me
up to six, with very excellent prospects of
our finally settling on eight, when an En-
gllshman came along, accompanied by his
valet. The latter was burdened with vari-
GUS things that the Englishman had been
purchasing at the bazars, and they were
moving along slowly. AS they passed the
entrance the old merchant was holding up
the rug to show its good qualities, and the
Englishman stopped to look at it. He was
a typical English traveller, with more
money than brains. Utterly ignoring me
he shouted to the Turk
? "'How much do you want for that rug?'
"Quick as a flash the Turk called back,
Fifty pounds There was not q change
of muscle in his face or anything to indi-
cate that he had been taken by surprise.
I will take it, said the Englishman, and
presently saw him count out fifty pounds
sterling. and his valet wrapped up my rug
and walked off with it."-Carpet Trade

The Telephone in War.

]. J. Carly says that the possibilities of
the telephone will be as great in war as
they have been in times of peace He tells
how, not long ago, the general manager of
the telephone company in Buffalo assem-
bled in less than half an hour the en-
tire board Of trade of that city to attend a
meeting on an important subject, and the
meeting could only have been called by
the aid of the telephone. Mr.. Carly is Of
opinion that this should suggest to our
military authorities the utility of the tele-
phone in the mobilization of the various
state militia organizations. With tele-
phone in every block, in every city Of the
land, it would be possible to assemble all
the state militia of this country In few
hours. In Germany the telephone, like
the telegraph and railroads, is controlled
by the government, and telephone officials
are assigned to regular place in the field,
to be taken on the commencement of hos
tilities.-New York Commercial Adver-

Political Guesswork just Before the
Battle.
SAN FRANCISCO, August H. Special
letter to the HERALD. II am at sea as to
politics. All the republican delegates
left here last night for Sacramento. The
Markham men claim their fight to be
sure; but Dibble says Morrow will lead
in the convention. From all 1 can
gather the vote at first will stand about
25O or 260 each for Morrow and Mark
ham, with the rest scattering. II think
1t takes 339 to nominate. How it will
60 after the first ballot is hard to guess.
FELTON, is glad to be out of the question
on any programme for the reason that
ne can not be got in. The fight between
Markham and Morrow seems to be for
blood, and may throw the prize to Chip
man. The railroad forces are on both
sides, IN fact on all sides, as surface
appearances go.
The newspaper guild here is fearfully
and wonderfully made. The old Press
runs on in the same respectable groove,
giving horticultural, political and
metaphysical advice as OF yore. The
rhoensr ~ is weekly. 1t is outrageously
liberal, constantly partizan, furiously
and pathetically devoted to its own in
terests and credibly said to be the joint
issue OF job printer, crank and a
ward politician. The enterprise is born,
does not know why or what for it was
born, but being born does it's best to
keep up with the procession. 1t is
honest, harmless and independent,
though its editor is good democrat and
bids fair to control living patronage.

A Piucky Woman.

One evening Mrs. Haver, of Columbus,
O., heard noise in her kitchen and secur-
ing revolver went to investigate and
found man with handful of silver
knives and forks "Put those things back
in the drawer" she commanded, pointing
the revolver at the thief He did so very
quickly. "Now turn your pockets inside
out, you have got some more" ordered
Mrs. Haver The fellow had summoned
his courage by this time, and he refused to
comply with the command. Mrs. Haver
was determined to make him do as she
wanted, and advanced upon him. The thief
made a dive for the door, and succeeded in
getting out, but Mrs. Haver followed and
cried, "Stop or I'll shootP' He stopped
and she held the weapon over him until a
policeman who had been summoned by a
neighbor arrived.-Philadelph Ledger.

Politically the democracy is every
where clean, loyal, nOn-committal and
in the minority. This city gives the
largest republican majority of any SINH
lar aggregation OF voters in San Ber-
nardino county, and as a matter of
course, these bowling protectionists row
among themselves at present, with all
the fervor of Presbyterian conference.
OF their leaders, naturally, the Hon. H.
M. Streeter holds his usual and serene
prominence. He keeps his four OF a
kind in some way ready for exhibition
whenever any of the boys allow their
curiosity to get the better of their judg-
ment. J. G. North, respected and hon
ored, and dined when he left, is no more,
having decamped to Redlands and the
Bear Valley water company.
The rest OF the gang are all leaders.
White, with the rather sepulchral-smel-
ling resurrection of the late lamented
Tribune, as becomes "Phenix," is fly
ing high. He has become proud and
happy father, the last city elections
having resulted in a high license victory,
of the details of which he is known to
have been the male proprietor. There
are other heights to which the gentle
man is said to aspire.
AS to our fight, no guess is worth
much. 1 tried to see Pond yesterday,
but failed. Coleman's people are very
active, and claim a victory now. He
will get big vote. All will depend on
the city delegation. Some of the
shrewd ones say Buckley will give the
nomination to Pond, not that he likes
him, but if Pond is not the leader there
is no hope to win, and if the state is
lost there is danger OF the city and
county going too, and that would ruin
Buckley for all time. There seems to
be something in this. Pond will not
run for mayor if defeated for governor.
The case is exactly the same in both
parties,-all the professional politicians
are for Morrow and the people for
Markham. The same element with us
is for Coleman and the same for Pond.
1t is claimed that English is for Pond.
If so, he behaves strangely. He is as
cold as ice to me, knowing me to be a
strong supporter of Pond. 1 think,
however, in the end, Bill will go for the
winner, no matter what his name.

There is little steamboat on Green.

gerated canoe, supplied with boiler, engine
and paddle wheel. It is the Alpha, and
it is engineered by man who has had q
great deal to do with the filing in of his
tory, the outlines being furnished by 9TH
ers, his superiors in position, but not nee
essarily in ability. He was the first.
assistant secretary Of war of the Confeder-
ate States Of America. After this he was.
chief military engineer of railways under
the Confederate government, position
that required high degree Of ability, In
fnitude of resources and an almost fncred-
tble degree of determination and persever-
ance
Under his direction things were accom-
plished in the way of building, repairing.
and operating railroads that made the.
northern engineers stare with wonder
when they considered the nature and guam
tity of the material with which the work
was done and the conditions under which
it was accomplished. After the war Mr..
Miner made great deal Of money in south
ern railroads, but he went to California
and lost his entire fortune. He is now
more than 70 years old, and is at work ON
