He Does Not Like Some of the Provisions
of the Everett Bill!
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The action OF
the subcommittee on foreign affairs last
night, refusing to accept Geary' amend
ment providing for an absolute means of
Identification, by photographing or
otherwise, in order to prevent the use of
Chinese register certificates by others, re-
suited in the decision that the Pacific
coast members, led by Geary ana White,
will fight the bill tooth ard nail. 1t APP
pears although this Identification provi-
sion is deemed essential to the Everett
bill for the extension of the time of regis
tration that there are underlying and
private reasons for the determination to
fight the extension measure, as there is a
fear that the new law will be again car
rie0 to the supreme court.
This would reopen the whole question:
and might result in a decision by the
supreme court that the Geary law was
unconstitutional. The decision by which
its constitutionality is upheld was only
rendered by a majority of one in the
supreme court, Justice Harlan being
absent. He is now here, and it is feared
that in case the matter should again come
before the court the former decision
would be reversed. Geary declares
while it may be impossible to defeat the
Everett bill in case the committee on
rules brings it in in order, it can be de-
feated in the Senate.

A GREAT INVENTION.
1t Promises to Bring Wealth to Many a
Miner IN idaho

BOISE, Ida, Sept. 15.-[Special. IAN
important placer mining invention Is re-
ported from Bingham county. A man
named-Taylor has invented simple ap-
paratus which successfully saves the -four
gold which exists in such enormous
quantities throughout the entire length
of the Snake river valley.
The machine is called the sanded board
machine. 1t consists simply of grizzly
and sluice box. The bottom of the
sluice box is constructed of boards nailed
on like weather boards on house. The
bottom is painted, and while the
paint is yet wet it is generously
sprinkled with coarse sand. When
the sand to be worked is washed over this
ssnded and rified bottom with a gentle
stream of water. the black sand carrying
the gold with it packs on the rough
bottom This machine has been in oper-
alton near Blackfoot and two men cleaned
up from $50 to $50 a day. These are
actual results, the gold having been sold
at the Boise assay Office after being sep
arated from the black sand in quick
silver bath. The apparatus is SO sue
cessful that a company has been formed
which has secured the control of it.
This company Is named the Vulcan Placer
Mining company. e. E. Calvin, super
intendent of the Idaho division of the
Union Pacific, is president, and among
the stockholders are Frank w. Beane,
the well known political leader, and j.
w. Keeney, the Pocatello merchant.
The machine costs less than $500, and
will be within the reach of multitudes 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 1our. gold along this
stream had at last been solved. As IS so
often the case with important discoveries,
the invention is SO simple that its very
simplicity is surprising.

MARsHFTELD, Wis, Sept. 15.-Neve
since the fire of 1871 have such terrible for
est fires burned in this state as have ragged
through northern Wisconsin the past few
days.
The extent of the damage cannot be es-
timated, owing to the fact that the fire
cut off Geographic communication with
mostof The smaller towns. On timber
losses they are of course the heaviest, and
Frank Mcmillan OF Mcmillan, IN
an interview tonight, said the loss
to the Wisconsin forests from
recent fires would probably amount to
between So, 900, 600 and Sc, 600, 900. This
represents vast amount of pine as well
as hard wood timber, covering q land
area which even those most familiar with
the forests Of Wisconsin cannot estimate.
1t is scarcely an exaggeratlon to say that
all northern Wisconsin is one shoulder
ing furnace, SO complete is the line OF
fires which are raging IN the forest be-
tween here and Lake Superior. Where
they willSend no one can say, but unless
there is rain in northern Wisconsin
within the next forty-eight hours even
greater disasters than those already &C.
CURED may be expected from the fires.
AIarshfield itself Is entirely sur
rounded by fires. IL is not now in any
immediate danger.
Reports are hourly brought TO the city
by residents along the different railways,
of the terrible fires raging and which
have already made many families homeless
aud destitute. As yet no one has been
found to confirm the reports of losses o!
life from the flames. That some settlers
are cut of by the flames and killed is very
probable. Many persons escaped death
only after adventures of the most thrill
ing character.
On every side are evidences of yester-
days battle with the flames in which the
citizens of Marshfield had hard fight to
save the town. Several buildings were
destroyed on the outskirts.
There are reports OF terrible fires at
Spencer and Comb tonight. Just how
many families are left homeless by the
fires cannot be learned, but there are
surely fifty. Nearly all the residents be-
tween this city and Mcmillan yesterday
packed up their goods and moved to this
city and settlers from other parts of the
country are fast following in their foot
steps.
Reinforcements have gone to Mcmillan
from this city and Stevens Point. but it is
dou btful if they can save the mills, which,
with the lumber around them, are worth
$3.50, 600. Southwest OF the city on the
Omaha road, there is another fierce fire
burning, and large party of men have
gone from here to head it oil.
