Although the weather has been un-
favorable, work Is progressing satisfac-
tsfily on the DsLamar Gompany's
Louise creek ditch, and unless Winter
begins unusually early it will be COM
plsted within sixty days, We stated
last week 1926, 900 feet of lumber would
be required for boxing. Mr.. Wilcox,
who il experimenting the construction,
informs us that it will require just
double that amount. Stoddard's saw
mill IL now cutting the lumber on
Bssadsr, and Henderson & Faulkner
have three six horse teams delivering
it. The ditch crosses China Gulch road
on tho summit and will end just below
the dump of the Stoddard tunnel. The
length of tho ditch is q. .233 feet. From
there the water will be turned into a
pipe and carried west of the mill to
whore Pelton wheel plant will be
placed. The length of the pipe will be
about $500 feet and the vertical fall OF
tho water will be 300 feet. If we are
not misinformed this will be the high
est pressure used upon any water wheel
in America.
At present it is proposed to use this
power only to run the electric light
dynanos and pumps, which alone, at
the present cost of fuel, will effect a
saving OF more than $500 per month to
the company, A larger electric light
plant will probably be put in so that
the entire town may be supplied if the
people wish it.
The water coming covered from
Louiae creek springs is as pure and fine
water for drinking as can be found and
Il will be supplied to the town for do
mestic use, probably through the pres
ent tanks and pipes.
An expert engineer employed by the
Pslton wheel manufacturers will be
hero next week to make plans for the
power plant which will be entirely in
dependent Of the present plant.

Scales, Mil.

Tho new tailings mill erected by Mr..
John Scales Ct old Wagontown Is now
summing successfully.
The mill contains four smalga mating
pans and two settlers, driven by Thirty
horse power engine, is we'll and sub
stantally constructed, with shafting
and space Of two additional pans and
one moro settler. The arrangements Of
the mill are all very complete and con-
vsnient except that at present the tail
ings have to be delivered to the pan
door from the reservoirs by wagons.
Later on It is proposed to put in a tram
to draw the pulp up by steam power,
the distance not being great.
The Immense reservoirs now contain
abo1t u, eco tons Of tailings carried into
them by fume from the DeLamar mill,
to which are daily being added fully
one hundred tons. These tailings all
though not rich, contain considerable
chloridss which float of, and the waste
or lost quicksilver. Their two or three
years exposure in the yards oxidizes
the chlorides and makes it possible to
save the values and the waste quick is
more than required for amalgamation.
The cost of working these tailings q
second time will leave fair profit from
every ton worked even though the assay
valus may be small.
The mill has not yet been in opera
tion sufficient time to estimate results,
bat the general opinion prevailing here
10 that the persons interested have
quite . bonanza in this enterprise.

Came Home i'll a Shipyvreck.

Among the sh1pwrecked sailors who
were saved by the life saving crews along
the New Jersey coast in the recent storm
was one grizzled old salt who was picked
up near South Amboy in an exhausted
condition, but still clinging to a broken
spar. When able to speak he said his
name was Jacob Wood, and that quar-
ter of a century ago he was we'll known
in that section of the country. He had
sailed away as captain of the bark Emma
in the early part of 1871, leaving fam
lily at Morristown, n. j. For twenty
two years he has been drifting about the
world. and what had become of his fam
lily he did not know.
Captain Wood had become injured by
the floating wreckage, SO he was cared
for in house in the neighborhood. Mrs.
Frances Briggs, resident of Brooklyn,

South Amboy, and when she learned
that the shipwrecked sailors name was
Jacob Woed, she astonished her friends
by saying he must be her grandfather,
who was supposed to have been lost at
sea over twenty years ago. Then she
hurried to the house and found her hopes
realized. The captains son has taken
him to his home.-[Chicago Herald.

The Lizards Breakfast,

A young man in the Gilsey House cafe
yesterday afternoon looked nervously at
Professor Hermann, the diabolical
"WhiZzard." The Professor was in un-
usually good spirits, but that wasn't the
reason why the young man was nervous.
Not at all. The young man was lust
getting over an attack of the night be-
fore, and he was in a condition to be
easily startled. When the magician sat
down he called OUT
"Waiter, fly"
''All right, sir" said the waiter as if
requests for the common house fly were
the most natural thing in the world.
Then it was that the young mans eyes
bulged nervously. After considerable
exercise of both leg and fist agility the
waiter caught fly and brought it very
Cal efully to Professor Hermann. The
optics OF the nervous young man literally
glarcd with expectation. Placing the fly
on the table the Professor. in most ten
der manner. lifted delicate little green
lizard from the lapel of his coat, corraled
i in front of the fly with tiny stake of
gold, and then you should have seen
that lizard jump. The fly disappeared
as quickly as a bit of Hermann palm,
istry and the eyes of the lizard bliukcd.
The young mans face had in the interim
assumed an expression almost human,

The revival of interest in gold min
ing has extended to the South. and the
deposits of Georgia and Alabama seem
to be in fair way to renewing their
place as factors in our gold supply
by the introduction of improved ma
chlnery and methods of concentrating
and working the sulphurets which con-
stltutea considerable part Of the value
OF the ores. In all the Rocky Noun
tain States old gold properties are be-
ing examined with view to rework-
ing, and prospectors are hunting for
new ones. There are many old mines,
abandoned years ago on account of the
low grade or refractory nature of their
ores, which could now, with modern
improved processes, be worked with
reasonable hopes of profit, and it is
probable that many of these will be
reopeued within the next year or two.

Scayengers of the Body.

Floating about the body with the blood
are numerous cells which seem to go
around on their own hook. In the lungs
they are found in great numbers. When
they come across any disease germ or
other foreign particle, they eat it up or
carry it away to some place where it can
not do any harm. Thus they serve
the purpose of scavengers. Unfortu-
nately, so many wicked germs are float
ing about in the dust that occasionally
they make their way into the system of a
healthy person. and cause trouble. Most
dreadful of all such micro organisms is
the bacillus of consumption, which breeds
in the human lungs and destroys them.
Cholera has been exciting much dismay
of late, but it is complaint of trifling
compared with consumption.
In Europe 5, COZ persons die every day of
consumption, while in the JIited States
the same diseASe kills 100000 people

Marriage in ISurman.

Desttution IS almost unknown, and
the wants of life in the temperate climate
of Burnah are more easily satisfied than
in the colder countries OF northern Eu
rope A Young Burmese couple can
start life with da and cooking pot.
The universal bamboo supplies materials
for building the house, llghrIn! the tire,
carrying the water from the well, and
may even help to compose the dinner it
self. The wife is usually prepared to
take share i'll supporting the household,
and thus she has gradually acquired
position of independence not always en-
joyed by married won e.. elsewhere. 1t
has been decided that, under the an
cient Buddhist custom prevailing in Bur
nah, husband cannot ALLEVIATE property
jointly acquired after marriage without
the consent of his wife. Few marriages
take place where either party is under
fifteen, and the usual age is between
fifteen aud twenty five. PoIygamy now
practically No longer exists, although in
ancient times the Burmese were pulyga-
mists as well as shareholders. Most
Burmese have only one wife, and lew
more than two. The tirst, OR head wife,
is usually the choice of the husband in
his youth, and when she ceases to have
children she often assists in the choice of
a young wife, who is bound to obey
her. The ease with which divorce IS
obtained is said to be one Of the causes
why polygamy is so rare. The terms of
divorce are based on ancient rules, one
of which is that the party wishing the
separation can take his or her property
and no more; the other party takes all
the rest, including the children. The
safeguard against caprice in husbands is
not merely public opinion, which con-
dcmns too frequent divorces, but the
selt-respect of women, which prevents
them from marrying a man who has
divorced his wives too freely The priv
ilege of perfect freedom in this respect is
said to be rarely abused. Divorce is
very rare, fact attributable equally,
perhaps. to the high position occupied
by women in Burmese society, the care
with which marriage contracts are en-
tered into md the extreme evenne5s of
temper which characterizcs both sexes.
