Read THIS TWICE!

The only Protection that will effect
ualIy protect all people, all classes, all
labor and all interests is that styled
SELF Protection acquired only from
a truthful knowledge of ways and
means, legal and illegal, just and un-
just, by which the burdens of govern
ment, profits of labor and industry, are
so unequally divided.
That knowledge is power, and ignor-
ance its slave, is forcibly illustrated
daily in all walks of life, among all
people, in all countries.
Where knowledge is used as power
or a means for gaining wealth without
labor or an equivalent therefor, it be-
comes necessary to deceive or keep in
ignorance of such methods those from
whom the wealth is taken; hence it is
that of the ten thousand newspapers
printed in the United States, less than
ten are absolutely free and independent
of the power or control of some class,
party or monopoly whose interest it is
to keep the great mass of people in
ignorance of their methods.
The Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer is
one of the few, if not the only one,
absolutely free from such influences.
1t is the most honest, thorough, able
teacher and exponent of truthful
knowledge, of reliable data, free from
partisan bias, fair, frank and explicit
to such degree that one cannot but feel
edited and capable of forming correct
conclusions therefrom. Such paper
should be in every household. Sample
copies can be obtained by addressing

MINING IN 1S49.
How "Rocker" Separating Was Carried ON
in Pioneer Days in California.

How "Rocker" Separating Was Carried ON
in Pioneer Days in California.
The most expensive instrument Of the
early miner was the rocker, which,
though simple in construction, cost in
the mines from fifty to hundred dol
lars. In general appearance it was not
unlike baby's cradle as used by our
grandmothers and as still seen on the
frontier 1t consisted of flat bottom
with two sides that fared outward, and
an end board at the head, while the foot
was open save rifle about an inch and
half high at the bottom to catch the
gold that might pass another rifle across
| the bottom near the middle. At the
| head Of the cradle was a hopper about
eighteen inches square, with perforated
sheet iron bottom or wire screen. Un-
der this was an apron, or board, sloping
downward toward the head Two sub
stantial rockers under the whole COM
pleted the simple machine which gave to
the world millions of dollars.
The modus operandi may be described
as follows: Two sticks of wood hewn on
the upper side were imbedded at the
rivers brink, one four inches lower than
the other, on which the rockers were to
rest, thus securing a grade in the ma
chine to facilitate the outward flow Of
the water and sand. Two miners usual
ly worked together as partners. One
shoveled the earth into the rocker, while
the other, seated ON bowlder or block
of wood, dipped the water from the riv
er and poured it upon the earth in the
hopper with one hand, all the time rock
ing with the other. When the earth
was thoroughly washed, he rose, lifted
the hopper from its place, threw out the
stones and gravel, replaced it, and thus
the work went on. AS the ground about
the rocker became exhausted to the bed
rock, recourse was had to the bucket,
and the earth was carried sometimes u
few rods, making laborious work for the
miner
To keep the rocker going another hand
would be employed to carry earth, and
each would carry two buckets at time.
Hard work of this kind suggested i'm.
provements in mining. At noon the gold
and black sand collected above the rifles
were taken up on scraper and thrown
into the pan, which was carried to the
river and carefully washed to remove as
, far as possible all but the gold. The
} yield of the forenoon was carried to the
camp, dried over blaze, the dry sand
blown cut, and the gold weighed in scales
or guessed at, and poured into the part
nership purse and deposited under tht
! bed or anywhere else out of sight. Gent
