The Haunt Of q Genius.

Aut116I Luxe, t0lS week, showed
ns new device of his own design
ing for the application of steam
power that works to q charm, al.
though it does not seem to possess
much power. The machine-it can.
not be called an engine-is exceed.
ingly simple, consisting of balance
wheel, two watts filled with water, 8
drum wheel, bent copper tube fol
dipping water from one of the tanks
or watts and discharging it into the
other through a hollow beam OF
spindle ard double-ender steam
condenser. The drum wheel, to the
upper side of which the condensers
are attached, is suspended, instead
Of revolving on shaft, and swings
like pendulum, and is the seat OF
power. 1t is filled about one-eighth
full of water being partitioned at
the top to prevent the water passing
over) and the fire applied to the
lower side of the wheel. AS soon
as the heat begins to boil the water
the wheel commences to swing back
and forth, the balance wheel to re-
volve and the condensers to bob up
and down like things alive. Mr..
Lukes's explanation of the motion
impaired to the machinery by the
application of heat to the drum
wheel is that it vaporizes the water
in the side of the drum immedi-
ately over the heat "a dam, or par
tition wall, being placed in the mid
die of the lower side of the drum
to divide the water into two parts },
thus causing vacuum which, as
everybody knows, nature abhors,
and the water rushing in from the
opposite side to fill the vacuum tips
the drum, and this process being
repeated at almost imperceptible in
tervals keeps up a continuous and
rapid motion. Every time the drum
swings from one side to the other
one end of the condenser is dipped
into tank of cold water which ia
kept full by. the dipping process
carried on by the bent copper tube
above referred to, and the steam is
condensed into water which the
next oscillation empties into the
drum to be again converted into
steam, thus preventing exhaustion
Of the water supply in the drum.
The device is very interesting, and
may prove useful. But Mr.. Luke,
who is young man, is a born
genius, though not machinist by
trade, and his little shop at this
place contains many quaint and
interesting devices and machines
in the way of mining machinery,
tools and instruments for the use of
mechanics, surveyors, miners, arti-
sans, and all other industrial pur-
suits, which we are not at liberty to
describe as they are not patented,
but which have been tested and are
of undoubted utility and value. A
concentration of his invention, which
will be patented and placed on
the market, he assures us saves by
actual, though private test, a higher
percentage of mineral and metals
than the Frue vanner machine and
is specially adapted to gold ores and
fine gold. A machine of this kind
will be a godsend to gold miners
and will be put on the market at
about half the price of the vanner.

Revival Of tho Barley Corn Club.

In meeting at the house of Mr.
and Mrs. F. K. Gillette two weeks
ago the young peoples Reading
Club was changed into the "Ketch
UNI Literary and Dramatic Society,"
At a second meeting it was decided
that the Barley Corn Club" should
be resuscitated and organized anew
and the Dramatic Society voted to
join forces with it.
The meetings and entertainments
of the combined new society will
be held in the NJ. E. Church build.
ing, and consist of four sections OF
departments; which will in turn
occupy every Friday night, viz
/. Science talks, illustrated with
black board. 2. Young children g
entertainments. 3. Literary and
Dramatic Society-evenings. 4.
Temperance Society meetings.
This will give field of employ
ment for the various grades oftalent
and taste in our community, and
interest the young and old alike.
Parents and adults are asked to
come in, and with their presence
and sympathy aid in making the
meetings a pleasant and happy
success.
With the school year so short, as
is at present permitted by the Grip
pied finances of Alturas county, it
becomes all the more necessary to
bring to the aid of the young such
extra means of mental, moral and
artistic growth and culture as is
possible.
The truest American citizens will
come from the freer and more sym
pathetic mingling of old and young,
parents and children, in the larger
home of such meetings as the Bar
ley Corn Club attempts.
The opening of the club will be
February 10th, a notice of which
will be given in next weeks KEY

Valley Mining Company and its Mi
Ber- at cable
The attention of Supt. Sudlow, of the
Coal Valley Mining company, for the past
two days has been occupied with the at
tempted settlement of a controversy with
the miners some 200 in number, growing
out of the discharge by Mr.. Sudlow. on
the first of the year, OF four men, whom
he had been led to believe had been at
tempting to arouse the other GOLFERS TO
mutiny and strike. While the situation
presented so grave an aspect yesterday
that the company notified its agents here
to make other arrangement for coal in
case OF an emergency, and is already
bringing coal into the city from other
banks, and that only Is of the regular
force of miners went into the mines this
morning, Supt SudlCw apprt bends no
serious trouble or interruption of opera
tions.
The situation is explained by Mr. Sud
low as being brought about partly by
certain outsiders, who by questionable
means have attempted to ipjure the miner
while protesting to be his friend but
mainly by few agitators who came TO
the surface about the time the new min
ing laws were being discussed in the fall
and being put into effect Things did
not go to suit these men. and ever since
that time they have been trying to
breed trouble and SOW the seeds of dis
content. Patience ceased to be vir-
tue, said MIR. Sudlow, and we dis
charged four of them. Then, by persons
al solicitation and misrepresen iation they
managed to get enough men together to
resolve that unless they were put back to
work there should be no more work, a
sentiment not shared by a large majority
of the men Who were not present but were
inundated, These discharged men will
never go back, and we will demonstrate
who is TO manage our property-whether
ourselves or our men. if it takes all sum.
mer.
I'VE regret the temporary inconveu-
fence to the public, and will do all in our
power to relieve the situation. This mar
ket is open to sll mines and coal will no
doubt be shipped in to supply all de-
mards until reason returns to our men.
We challenge comparison with any mines
in the state for fair, square and liberal
treatment Of our men. They have had
better work and ir average earnin-s
per man is far above the average of any
mines with whom we come in competi-
ton in the market"
Mr.. Sudlow went out to Gable again
this morning in hopes of settling the
controversy. 1t is understood the mi
ners claim that the trouble dates back 10

suit the company on restoration of

"a Turkish Bath" mu sic II comedy
was presented at Hsrper's theatre last
evening. The play is constructed strict
ly for laughing purposes, and strict adj,
berence to a plot is sacrificed for the
sake of fun. The musical features are
not neglected, and the bit of singing in
the last act by Miss Marie Heath, of
Wont You Come Out and Play" and
Listen to My Tale of Woe" were par
tcularly enjoyed.
The clever little comedy, entitled "Dr.
Bill from the Garden theatre, New York.
from all accounts has certainly hit the
popular taste, and may justly be &C
counted one of the big successes OF this
and last season. 1t ran in New York TO-
considerable over 100 nights to large and
enthusiastic audiences. 1t will be seen at
the Burtis opera house, at Davenport,
this evening, and if reputation goes for
anything it certainly ought to crowd the
theatre.
