The New Flour Gold Saving Machine.

The wonderful -four gold saving
machine which has so long been
patiently waiting for is at last on
the banks of Snake river at Lam
mons Spar, sixteen miles from
Caldwell, on ground belonging to
County Commissioner G. w. Paul.
Mr.. Raber, president ofthe Portland
Amalgamating and mining Com
pany was in Caldwell last Monday
and informed us that he was here
to stay. One of his machines would
be in full operation by the 10th
inst. and said he, eff there is any
gold in the sands of Snake river.
our machine will save it," ave do
not want to make any blow about
the business" he said. "We have
come here to demonstrate that the
fine gold along the banks of the
river can be saved at cost that will
pay to work it even if there is only
so cents to the ton. According to
Mr.. Raber the average yield of gold
to the ton of gravel is about one
dollar and at that rate one of his
machines will net the operator 500
per day. We will not enter into
any detailed account of the business
at this tine. On the 10th of No.
vember one of those machines will
be engaged in practical work and
there does not seem to be the slight
est question but that it will fulfill
every expection. Mr.. Raber has
been at work on his machine for
thirteen years and spent $4,000 in
its perfection. He says that all the
efforts heretofore made were on a
mistaken idea about rusty gold.
The Snake river gold, he says, is
not rusty. Gold does not oxidize
except by mechanical application.
He says that his process will instan-
taneously amalgamate anything
from gold so fine as to be inpercep-
tible to miners creased pick. III
this machine proves anything like
SO successful as is predicted, a revo-
luton will sweep over this country
in the next sixty days. Snake river
will be lined for hundreds of miles
with gold saving machines and mil
lions upon millions of dollars will
be wrenched from the earth but
people should not be duly excited.
Wait until the machine demon
strates its ability to do just what is
claimed for it and then get in as
you can and enjoy some of the ben
efits.-Caldwell Tribune.

Joseph Montgomery, of Bellevue,
who is stock inspector for Logan
county, was in Shoshone few days
ago inspecting the brands of cattle
that are being shipped from this
point. The duties Of stock inspec-
tor are of interest to the owners of
stock, for the reason that where
cattle are promiscuously gathered
from range for the purpose OF
shipping, it is pretty evident that
there always may be among such
bands, animals belonging to parties
others than the shippers, which
would be difficult to separate, hence
the inspector being familiar with
the different irons, would be able to
recognize such cattle by their brands
and give information regarding
their whereabouts to the rightful
owners.-Shoshone Journal.
