BRING ON YOUR APPARATUS!
Get in With Your Little
Gold Machine.
Great Increase of the In
ventive Industry.

WIN. Nesbit, manager Of the Gold
Hill mine at Quartzburg, who is
spending few days in the city, is
the inventor of a new device for saw
ing flour gold. The machine consists
of long, narrow box in the bottom
Of which is layer of amalgamated
copper plates. At intervals Of about
six inches are Stats of copper plate
in a vertical position, each extending
across the box and so arranged that
water turned into the box under a
slight pressure will be forced under
the first plate, and over the top of the
second, under the third and so on to the
end. Mr.. Nesbit claims it is impos-
sible for a particle of gold, when run
through the box with the fine sand, to
escape the amalgamated plates. Some
may pass the first TWO or three plates
but it will be attracted further on
either to the pieces of copper in the
bottom or to the uprights. The ap-
paratus was originally invented fol-
the purpose of saving -four quicksil
yer, and 1t proved highly successful
Statesman.

gated from the black sand with 8
quicksilver bath. The apparatus is 30
successful that company has been
formed which has secured control of
it. This company is named the Vul-
can Placer Mining Company. b. b.
Calvin, superintendent Of the Idaho
division of the Union Pacific, is pres
ident, and among the stock holders
are Frank W. Beane, the well-known
political leader, ana j w. Keeney,
the Pocatello merchant
The machine costs less than 5000,
and will be within tie reach of null
titudes Of men of small means. There
is room for thousands Of them on the
Snake river alone. The principle is
entirely new, and it seems as though
the problem of saving millions Of -four
gold along this stream has at last been
solved. AS is so often the case with
important discoveries, the invention
is SO simple that its very simplicity
Is surprising.

Idaho Amendment Held Up.

The nomination of j. Q. Straughan,
as surveyor general of Idaho, is held
up in the committee on public lands,
awaiting further evidence of the
charges made against his integrity.
These charges come from former
associate deputy, now in Oregon, and
were presented by Senator Mitchell
They accuse Straughan of crooked
ness in contracts. When the matter
was brought up IN the committee,
Dubois was asked by Senator Walthall
whether he wished Mr.. Straughans
nomination reported unfavorably. He
stated that neither himself or his col
leagues were taking any part in dem
ocratic politics in Idaho, and neither
had any charges to file or endorse.
Meantime, Mr.. Straughan sent a
letter to the committee regarding the
charges, in which he vigorously at
tackled Senator Dolph as concerned
in their formulation. This did not
help his cause among Senator Dolph's s
associates and the prospects are now
that it will be some time before Straug-
hans nomination will be taken out OF
the pigeon hole.

A Rece iYer Brings Suit.


SPOKANE, Wash, Sep. 21.-A Col
fax, Wash, special to the Review
says: Benjamin Burgunder, receiver
of the Mcconnell Chambers company,
has begun suit against the members
of that corporation and numerous
parties to whom transfers of company
property were made just prior to the
company being judged insolvent. W.
j. Mcconnell, vice president of the
company, is Governor Mcconnell of
Idaho.
Thecomplaint of the receiver alleges
gross fraud on the part of the corpo-
ration. w. H. Windus, secretary, is
charged with making a false statement
of the condition of the company to the
creditors at the beginning of the year,
thus obtaining an eXtention of time
and further credit. The company owes
$45, 600 in San Francisco and $50, 00t
in Portland, besides $50, 900 to divers
other creditors. Members of the com
pany are charged with incorporating
as part of conspiracy to shift from
themselves liabilities for debts. 1t i
alleged that the firm was insolvent be

Congress Cares Little About Idaho.


Shoshone Journal.
Hon. John Haley returned from
Washington last Wednesday morning
and took the branch road for his home
near Bellevue. Mr.. HALEY was Sc
lected by the people of Logan county
as delegate to represent them in the
great fight that is being waged against
silver, their homes and their country.
In brief interview with Mr.. Haley
he said he had no doubt of the un-
conditional repeal of the purchasing
clause OF the Sherman law, although
there was faint hope among the sill
yer men that a compromise might be
made before a final vote upon the
subject was reached in the Senate.
He thinks congress cares little fol
Idaho, much less in attempting any
legislation of any character that NIGH
benefit her people. "Uncle John
denounced the anti-silver democratic
senators and the administration from
Grover, down, for forfeiting thu
pledges promulgate in their nationa
platform and of their gross betraya
of the people who stood shoulder t.
shoulder in placing them in thei
present positions.

Black Sand ano Gold.

Black Sand anu Gold.
Gilmore Bulletin
A. H. Hopper of California has sel
cured patent for new process of
extracting gold from black sand, and
the somewhat threadbare statement is
made in connection with the invention
that the problem Of working black
sand pro6tably has at last been found.
The problem is thus described in the
S. +. Call
Briefly told, his method Of extract.
ing gold from black sand has not been
to destoy the iron, magnesium, etc..
but merely to set the gold free and
otherwise leave the sand intact. The
plants consists of cylinder AZ inches
long and 22 inches in diameter, with
manhole in the side The sand is
put in at the manhoie and the water
is added, combined in manner which
is the secret of the method. The cyl1
inder is put in motion and simultane-
ously an electric current of 50amphers
and volts is turned into the cylinder
contents, much as an elecuolishing
bath. After 20 minutes revolution
the manhole is opened, the sand is
dumped into hopper and passed on
to concentration and amalgamator.
The gold unites with the quicksilver
of the amalgamator and is then scraped
off and retorted, the sand having been
washed away by the stream of water
which passes over the inclined and
gently shaking amalgamator. The
theory is that the chemicals and cleo
, trio current act on the gold alone.
@ The inventor has spent some years
of study and experience and $40, 600
in cash ON his process. 1t has now
h been in operation three months, it is
said, and it handles, with two men
ten tons of sand day, at a cost of 81
. per ton, and at profit of 50 to 81
q per ton. Incidentally,a cheap methoe
d Of extracting ore from sulphurets haI
r. been found.
# 1t is to be regretted that the inven
>, tor deems it in conflict with his finan
cial interest to disclose to the genera
- public the secret of his wonderful
:. chemical compound. There are incal
to culable quantities Of black sand be
,f tween San Diego and Alaska, all o
q which the inventor can hardly hope t
to cover himself and which might b
IN worked proftably by Others withou
a. disadvantage to him.

A CHASTITY Find on the Payette.

Independent
On Monday last w. E. Redington,
who resides on the bench about five
miles south of Payette, m ade discov-
cry that unquestlonably points to one
of those dark tragedies that made this
portion of Idaho dangerous ground for
the white man to traverse few years
ago. In the bank of large gulch a
short distance this side of his place,
Mr.. Redington saw protruding from
the sand what he took to be human
bone and curiosity lead him to make
an investigation. On removing some
of the earth he found three skulls and
portions of three human skeletons
They we're all laying face downward
IS if they had fallen forward while
ascending the hillside from a spring
near by, and had evidently been COW
cred by the sand and soil which the
wind had drifted over the bank year
after year. Mr. RediDgton advances the
opinion that they are the skeletons of
people who were killed by Indians
in years gone glimmering, while at the
spring after water. The positions oc-
cupied by the skeletons indicate that
they may have been attacked at the
spring and massacred as they attemp-
ted to run up the steep hillside The

W. A. Boyce, the well-known lum-
Der bealer of Pocatello, who is now in
St. Anthony, has completed machine
that he thinks will raise him fortune
out of the sands Of the Snake river
The st. Anthony News gives the fol-
lowing account of his trap to catch
the gold:
"W. A. Boyce has made a ten strike
on machine that will save all the
gold of the Snake river that passes
through it. In our opinion it is more
of trap than machine. The tests
so far made show it to be perfect in
its mode Of saving gold. We will
outline its features as we have been
able to learn them:
nWhen the machine is in motion
dirt is started through its main sluices
by a slow current. The gravel is sift-
ed off by strong current, and the say
ings of the dirt are sifted through
three screens onto copper plates, pre-
venting a rush of water, and allowing
the gold contained in the sediments
of the water time to settle on thu
plates. The plates are so arranged
so as to be changed at any place Will
the machine is still in motion. y
course the flow of water will goverl

small or large scale. The size O

! tity of water, and cost from $3.50 t
t $1,000. With sufficient flow 9
water, judging from the tests made
a the machine will work from 100
900 yards of dirt per day. 1t is a
