IL is only necessary, therefore, TO
modify the present five barreled Hotch-
kiss revolving cannon by giving TO the
riting OF each barrel n different twist,
anil this is done as follows:
Barrel No i-Onc turn I'm 80 inches.
larrel No. 2--One turn in 81 inches
Barrel No. 2--One turn In 81 inches.
barrel No. i-One turn I'm IS inches.
Barrel No 5--Cnc turn In 260inches.
While The foregoing may be regard
cd az the standard gradations the vari-
n ions IN twist OF rifiing will depend
upon the height Of the gun above the
ditch and the range within which IL
must be effective Two men may
work the gun. one turning the crank
and the other feeding the cartridges.
The carriage on which the gun Is
IN united Is of iron, with parallel side
irames. and the effort of recoil is re-
sisted by anchoring the carriage with
y. cl<ets and by friction brakes on the
hubs Of the wheels. A special device
il provided for feeding the gun with
r cat rapidity at critical moments. To

Important, If True.

A syndicate of Denver men are introducing electrical machinery for placer mining, and are now making practical tests of the apparatus in the new gold fields of Bald Noun tain district. Wyoming. The ma- chine is called the Bennett amalga- mator. It is claimed the appara- tus is capable of handling from 2,000 to 5000 yards of dirt.per day and saves every particle of gold. Even microscopic gold that will float eight minutes in water, and could not be saved by any other known process, is caught up by the B nnett electric process, and the cost of working yard of ground averages about two cents. In fact, dirt that will pay fifty cents per yard when manipulated by the Ben- nett amalgamator. The water used in the revolving screen sluice of this machine is run back again to the reservoir and thus saved, and this is used over and over again during the course of the day. One inch (miner's measure) of water is sufficient to owork the amalgamator's tank. A weeks work for this ma chine covers an area of one and one half acres, fourteen feet deep. and the machine is so easily handled that it can be manipulated by ten year old boy.-Financial and Min ing Record.

Nine Lives.

"Doc"the Chinaman,was brough
 to town yesterday and is at presen
 resting easily in the hospital. H
 has two wounds, one bullet goinj
 through his neck and anothe one shattering his shoulder blade
 The wounds were made by very
 large bullets. The vitality of tht wounded man was something won derful. He was shot last Thursday and his wounds were not dressed until Saturday night. He was brought up thirty miles in the broiling sun laying on his back on the bottom of wagon with noth- ing under him but the boards. He eats heartily and although weak from loss of blood he has said enough to go to show that he had seen an Apache crawling down to- wards the camp. He went in the house and taking a rife from the corner went out and waited for a chance to get a shot at the renegade. The opportunity soon came and he took good aim and fired, whether he hit the intruder or not. he does not know, as the distance was about a quarter of a mile. Almost imme- diately after firing, a volley came from behind the rocks and he fell over with his shoulder shattered and a stinging sensation in his neck. He had sense enough to get hold of the rife again and with the aid of his left hand and one leg he fired the gun off again, which gave the In- dians the idea that he was not dead or disabled and they did not molest hIm further. When found he was suffering greatly.
 He says that he saw threeIndians and thinks there may have been more. The trail of five were plain ly seen by several Mexicans. The Chinaman thinks that if he had not fired his rifle that they would have killed him.-Prospector.

Murder! Murder!

The fifth murder within almost eleven months occurred at Bonita,
 near Fort Grant, on last Sunday
 night, resulting in the death of J.F.
 Izon, n,who for several years past has
 faithfully performed the duties of accountant for Wm. Roberts, the
 Bonita merchant, and was a most exemplary young man, quiet, sober, gentlemanly in his dealings with everybody, would do most anything in his power to avoid angry words with any one, and at the time of the cowardly assassination, it is not believed he had an enemy in the world. "Who could possibly exc cute such an atrocious crime' is an unanswered question, save a few theories advanced which, so far, may be simply guess work.
 The Sunday was spent as usual and by half-past ten o'clock all around the house had retired ex- cept Mir. Izon, who was left writing in the store, for a half hour later. Appearances indicated that he had completed his writing at about eleven o'clock and went to close the doors, previous to retiring, and was in the act of looking out, when the murderer, who was concealed perhaps behind the door, dealt him a blow with some blunt instrument behind the left ear, and while iall- ing was shot, the ball entering the lower left ribs, ranging upward and coming out on top of the shoulder, his head near where he had been struck and lodged near the base of the brain. MT. Roberts hearing the shot, grabbed shot gun and hastily came to the rescue, only to find the young man stone dead ,and no.one in sight or within hearing.-Willcox Stockman.
