time the mine has been idle. There
are now strong hopes that London
company will take hold of it and erect
good silver mill. Should they do
so, Gambrinus district will soon be
tie scene of much activity again.
West Of the Washington are several
mines, the Sub Rosa, Forest King
and Boulder, which ] described in q
letter to the Standard about two
weeks ago. II the case between the
owners of the Forest King is settled
at the August term of the District
Court, the mine and mill will un-
doubtedly resume operations this
summer.
A good many Of the prospectors
here have their eyes on those promis-
ing districts north Of us, and it is be-
lieved that some more good mines
will be discovered, as there is rich
g float everywhere. As there are
several mills handy to all these dis
tricts, it will be but little expense to
transport the ores for milling.

TO SAVE BaLLaoN..
A Wonderful Machise Soon to \. ..
Operatlou.

CALDWELL Tribune.
The Tribune is reliably informed
that Oregon parties are now engaged
in the manufacture of a machine
which may be appropriately called
the greatest invention of the age. Its
effects upon this country and indeed
the whole world can scarcely be con-
ce'ved. By actual and practical test
this machine will save gold so fine
that it is held in suspension in water
for several hours. This solves the
problem OF gold mining on Snake
river and the various other streams in
this country whose banks are rich in
fine gold. Machines are now, or
soon will be, IN operation in Arizona
and other localities, and just as soon
as the water goes down large num-
bers of them will be located along
the Snake river. The cost of ma.
cn'nery Is very little and cost of op-
GRAFTON practically nothing. They
are estimated to pay six to eight dol
lars per day, man. There have
been so many stories respecting simi-
lar machines, that we naturally felt
some hesitation about giving currency
to this one, but the source Of informa-
ton is of such a character that we
are bound to give it credence and
believe that the information is abso-
luteiy reliable and that the problem
OF saving fine gold is solved. There
will no doubt be thousands Of miners
strung along the banks of the rivers
IN this section inside of few weeks.

There are thirty-three telegraph
poles to the mile ON the railroad
lines, aud from this basis it is very
easy to determine how fast q train
Of cars is going. Time the passing
of thirty-three poles and subtract
the number of seconds it takes
from t2O and the difference will
be the number OF miles per honr
the train is travelling. If it takes
forty-five seconds for the poles to
pass, the train is going 12O-46 or
seventy-flve miles per hour. This
method is as infallible ss count.

thing was missing, and soon after
the train had gone she jumbed up
exclaiming-
"My stars! it's the baby"
Then she began to cry, and
appealed to the ticket-seller. He
telegraphed to the Nfty-eighth

whether he would come under

The child was put on q down-town

THE ATTEMPT AT LILLE.


To the Editor Of The Republic
A FUNNY TRAIN RoBBERY.-I
have seen an article in the Repub.
lie wherein you allude to an ut
tempt to rob q passenger train at
Lille, Ark, on the night Of Sept.
S.h. In it you say: 1.-TWO poor
unfortunates are suspected OF
this attempt"
Now, let me tell you the whole
story of that attempt" Myself
and friend lone Roach were ON
our way to the opening of the
Cherokee Strip. We were getting
over the railroads as cheaply "a
possible, and we got into box car
at Fort Smith to 60 over the bridge
| to Van Buren,, Ark. This car was
one of the last in . long train Of
empties. Well, the train stopped
ct the end of the bridge, but only
two cars and the engine were com.
pletely over the bridge. After let.
ting on two or three men who had
paid the "brakie" 10 cents for let.
ting them ride, the train pnlled
ont a. fast 40 possible, not giving
NJ . chance to get OF who we're on
the hind end Of the train. We
were carried to Lille, where they
stopped to take on some cars
Now, I have been . railroad mai
over 20 years and know how to
run . train as well as any man or
earth and better than the men who
run them in Arkansas. l asked
the brilliant conductor of this train
when we could catch . train fol
Van Buren,. He told me that the
passenger would be at Lille al
shout 2:2O, but that l would have
to have . red light to flag it, as II
did not stop unless tagged. Well
q red light / must have, and as the

of his train to see to the taking on
of those cars, and his cabo0se had
plenty of red lights hung out 81
the end of it and l needed one
why, just naturally took one OF

the depot to await the train, which
came along about 1:15 q. m. Well
set Mr.. Redllght on the corner
of the platform and along comes
Mr.. Engineer, sees the red light
and thinking about how easy it ID
to make an engineer an assistant

for he whlstlcd for the station al
