The streets were crowded, and he (Mgr.
Nugent) declared that he never saw such
an orderly concourse of people, and he
never heard word uttered that would
offend the keenest susceptibilities OF any
one. The Americans had their weak
side. but what an English crowd could
learn from them was something of the
independence, of the manhood of the
people. What he hoped large gatherings
like that assembled at that concert
would do was to raise their standard of

sTEAMBoATINe FOR GOLD.
Getfins Metal at the Rate OF 800 Dny
From the Bed of a River.

AAcfN the k<eu Oh q river
Extravagant stories are told about tn.
wealth of gold sprinkled throughout the
snake river country in Idaho. AS a gen
eral thing the gold is very fine, the par.
ucies being of SO light weight as to be
elusive. Save when worked on a large
scale. it is difficult to make good wages
In recovering the gold. Numerous bars
along the river would prove profitable
could water be commanded for sluicing
OF hydraulic purposes. An adequate sup
ply is hard to obtain on account of the
Slight and gradual fall of the stream and
the level character of the outlying lands.
10 overcome this lack of water, as well
as insure sufficient dumping ground, a
big hoating gold saving dredge has been
constructed and is now at work on the
Idaho bank Of the Snake river, about 10
miles above Payette.
1t is a stern wheel fiatboat propelled by
steam. Substantially constructed. 85
feet long and % feet wide, it is equipped
with 30 horsepower marine engine and
boiler and adapted in every way for navi-
eating Idaho's great waterway. With O
slight alteration it could be transformed
into steam dredge and used to scoop
mp sand and gravel from the bottom of
the stream. That has never been at
tempted. AS in the past. operations are
now confined to working bars out Of the
bed or channel of the river. The method
pursued Is to anchor alongside one of
these gravel deposits and by the use of
scrapers bring the material to be han
died within the reach of the gold wash
ing machinery with which the craft is
rugged. The gravel is scooped up by
buckets attached to an endless chain.
There are 4S of these receptacles on a
belt 60 feet in length, and each has a ca
pacity Of about 20 pounds of dirt, which
is delivered into hopper. This is also
an agitator, and the process employed
may be described as steam rocker,
with the exception that it has an end
motion instead of one sidewise. The
gold is caught on copper plates with |
quicksilver. The tailings are carried off |
in sluice boxes by the force of stream
Of water of 100 mineral inches, supplied |
by a China pump, run by the engine
which drives all the other machinery.
The gravel is worked SO thoroughly that
10 gold escapes in the tai1ings that are
Jumped into the river. An average Of
100 tons of gravel is daily handled, and
or this work three men are employed
N engineer, one to work the scraper
md another who shovels the dirt into a
'ile so that the buckets can SCOOP up a
ull load.
The bar now being worked covers an
rea of 10 to is acres. The gold is on
Op or close to the surface and will not
ay to handle to greater depth than
Dot to IS inches. This shows a value Of
to cents pan. A cleanup is made
very night, and the average Of the runs
'r the first three days was very satisfac-
Dry to Thornton Williams, the owner of
1e craft. He says he expects to take out
pward of 500 day as long as he works,
-hich will be until cold weather sets In.

ow engages his attention, he will tackle

The sad news came Sunday morn
ing that Ben S. Roberts had died on
the train that morning at BIason,
Illinois, while on his way to his old
home in Vermont, accompanied by
his wife and brother. His body was
taken on to Vermont and there
buried.
Ben S. Roberts was born In Lelcest-
er, Vermont, August 5, 1858. His
father was a farmer, but Ben was
brought up in the mercantile bust
ness. In 1883 he came to Clifton and
worked for the Arizona copper comp
any in one of the stores. While at
Clifton he had a siege Of mountain
fever, from the effects Of which he
never recovered. In 1886 he formed
a partnership with ]. A. Leahy and
the new firm bought out the stock Of
George Heynie in Lordsburg and
started in the mercantile business
on their own account. The firm was
very successful but Mr. Roberts paid
too close attention to his business and
worked too hard for his strength.
His disease eventually developed into
consumption, the seeds Of which
we're doubtless lying in his system.
In June, 1891 he married Miss Kate
Stevens and in December Of that year
he gave up active business and devo-
ted himself to his health, but, alas, it
was to-. late.
Since then he has been travelling all
over the Pacific slope, ~endeavorlng to
find a climate or a doctor that would
give him relief. For some months he
has been at San Diego receiving treat
ment from one Of the doctors there,
who informed him that he had not
got consumption, simply an affection
Of the bronchial tubes. He got so low
that his wife sent for her brother,
Charles Stevens, and for his brother,
who is a p%racticing physician in Yer
mont. AS Don as Or, Roberts OK
amied his brother he pronounced the
case consumption in its last stages, al
though he could not convince him
that he vas very sick. 1t was
thought best to take Ben back to his
old home, where the change might
prolong his life several months. II
was thought that he had sufficient
strength for the journey, but tho
strength had been overestimated and
he died, as stated above, before tho
journey was completed.
Ben S. Roberts was a good bushes:
man, was well liked 10 this commun.
ity, where he lived, and there is here
, a universal sorrow at his untimely
death. The sympathy Of the com.
munity goes out to his wife and re.

for a neighboring town to try and
have a celebration in opposition. Sill
