ELECTRICITY IN MINING.
A New Device by Which Rocks of all
n inds Can he Tested

A New Device by which Rocks OF all
Kinds Can be Tested.
The introduction of electricity into min
ing operations has led 70 a new and very
ingenious application A portable device
has been arranged whereby rocks Of all
kinds can be Immediately subjected 10 a
test, which will enable the miner to deter
mine the quantity and quality of the metal
they contain For prospectors such a
contrivance is invaluable, as, consisting as
it does of simply battery and spark coil,
with two platinum pointed conductors in
closed in handy box, it can be carried on
the back and be available throughout the
work of the longest day Then two points
of the conductors aIe placed against the
rock TO be tested and spark is immedi-
atelv formed, from the flame and color Of
VII is gathered an indication of the
metal contained 1t is claimed that the
presence of metal can be detected by mere
ly applying one eleetrode and passing the
other rapidly over the surface. Tne no
vice or "tenderfoot" is said TO nave just
az good a chance of successful prospecting
with this new device as the most eYper-
fenced miner. All the troubles involved
in the loss of lead in a shaft can now
be avoided, as well as uncertainty IN the
sorting Of ores, the difference in which is
reliably shown by this electric fame The
whole apparatus weighs about ten pounds
and an additional recommendation of it Is
that it can e used for exploding blasts II
connection with electric primers.

in him in section of the reciprocity
clause of the Mckinley tariff bill, and is
sue proclamation restoring the duties

days, certainly not later than Christmas

countries that have concluded reciprocity
treaties with the United States, and will,
consequently, not be included in tie
proclamation, are Brazil, Cuba, Porto
Rico, Santo romingo and the British

brief WlRINGS::-
IS 1T CONSTITUTIONAL?
An Interpreter is Allowed to Translate
Testimony to Jury.

ALAMosA, Colo, Dec. 1S.-Judge Hol.
brock, sitting in the 18th district court
made a precedent yesterday of Importance
to the Spanish. American counties OF
Colorado. A jury of five Americans and
seven Mexicans sat on the case of the
people vs.. Patrlcio Gallardo, for horse
stealing.
The testimony was conflicting. The
jury was placed in seclusion and in the
bailif's charge could hold no general con-
sultatlon, in consequence of ignorance of
their respective languages. A long issue
seemed inevitable.
By mutual consent the foreman applied
to the court for an interpreter. The re-
quest was a surprise. 1t was unpre.
cedented. Judge Holbrook consulted the
bar.
Attorney Hughes argued that the pow
er of granting the petition was inherent in
the court; that the law required an intel
ligible discussion of given testimony by
the jury. In this case such discussion
was impossible without the requested
medium.
The counsel for state and defence ulti-
mately waived exceptions. The court
consented. The official interpreter was
put under further oath to use his new
function without prejudice, and appeared
in the jury room. The verdict was ac-

That the Cerrillos Coal & Iron company
means business III getting its affairs in
shape for great industrial activity in south
