PHASES OF GOLD MINING.


Especial NOflespOhuenCe.l
SAN FRANCISCO, July ie-Old gold
miners are greatly interested in the recent
developments among the old mines of the
Mounga district At the bottom of the
shaft Of the Center mine, which has just
been cleaned out a body of ore IA feet in
width and assaying S1S to the ton has been
uncovered, and it is stated that the old
Sheath and Clay mine which yielded re-
markably well years and years ago is also
about to be reworked by capitalists who
have recently bought the abandoned claim
for what may be spoken of as mere
song
When the modern stamping mills and
amalgamation apparatus were perfect
ed certain prospectors had the tailings
ore that had been thrown aside as of too
low grade for possible eduction-assayed
and found that they would yield about $50
a ton This was brought to the attention
of Senator Fair, and the mine was pur-
chased by him, the latest machinery set
up and the tailings worked over. The prof
it realized was very great.
1t was at the Buchanan mine that the
Wells-Fargo Express company put into
service device for transporting the product
of the mine after it had been reduced to
| Sonora, where it was taken by the stage
line, in such way as to effectually frus-
trate the designs of those who would sud
denly become rich by robbing the gold
wagon.
These robberies were of course always
| from the express company and not from
the mining company, for the former al
ways gave the latter upon receiving a con
| signment of gold for Sonora an express re-
ceipt, which was as good as a certified
check, for the value of the gold trans
| ported. 1t seemed for a time that no
amount of vigilance could prevent the rob
| bing of the wagon, but at last a bright
| driver suggested that the little gold bricks
| be cast with two holes running through
each Of them. A skeleton wagon with a
steel frame was then constructed.
Just back of the drivers seat was secure
| ly fastened a small chilled steel safe, fitted
with a combination lock. Through the
| safe ran two steel bolts, and when the gold
was put into the strongbox these bolts
were passed through the holes in the bricks.
| Then the whole was screwed securely to the
| bottom OF the safe, and by an ingenious
| contrivance the nuts were afterward locked
| on. If robbers had succeeded in overpow-
ering the guard of six armed men, who al
ways came with the wagon, they would
| then have had to break the safe open and
break the bolts Off before getting the gold.
As the exact time the ron left the works
was always known at Sonora, the delay that
would necessarily have been suffered by the
robbers in getting at the gold would have
caused alarm both at Sonora and the works,
and there would have been plenty of time
for help to arrive early enough to prevent
| the bandits success.
Although the stage from Sonora was aft
erward robbed OF treasure, there were nc
| robberies between the Buchanan mine and
Sonora after the device | have described
was put into operation. S. ID. G.

And Fast Trains TO Chicago Fair via Penn
sylvauia Railroad
The popular excursions to Chicago which
are being run by the Pennsylvania railroad
seem to furnish exactly what the people want
The first two trains were well patronized, and
as the vacation season is now we'll advanced
the remaining excursions will undoubtedly
attract a much larger number Of passengers.
A decided improvement in the train sched
ule, which accelerates it so as to deliver the
passengers in Chicago at an early hour tn,
following afternoon, places the special train
almost on an equality in the matter Of speed
with the best express trains.
The special trains are composed of the
standard coaches for which the Pennsylvania
Railroad is famous. Only one night is passed
on the road, aud the arrival in Chicago is ST
timed as to give abundant opportunity fol
engaging quarters before nightfall.

Some of the members Of the Western Branch
Soldiers Home are employed. If a man is
found able to earn hisown living heis ordered
before the surgeon for exa minaton and
promptly discharged. Many veterans work
txo days a week, ostensiby for eight hours
each day, but in reality they do only three
hours real work. The best workers among
the veterans are men whose ages range from
/ sixty eight to seventy years, and their age is
considered disqualifying for the work Of able
bodied men.

The climax of comfortable and luxurious
travelling is apparently reached by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway.
Ease and comfort go with the traveller
making a trip from Chicago to st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Omaha or Sioux City over this

buled trains leaving Chicago for these points
early every evening are great favorites,
nothing being left undone by the officials Or
employees to ensure most enjoyable tip.
Excellent dining service is maintained and
buffet library cars are attached to the train,
where current periodicals may be perused
while smoking a cigar with all the pleasure
of ones own "den" at home. Electric
lights placed in every berth enables the
traveller to spend his wazeful hours, after
retiring over his favorite novel or other
reading matter Private compartment cars
are run between Chicago, st. Paul and Min
neapolis. In fact, everything that goes to
ensure comfort and security is provided

QUARANTINE, S. l., Aug. 4-The United
Press representative boarded the steamer
Karamania, which arrived from Naples
last night and tried TO ascertain from the
ships doctor the cause Of the three deaths
which occurred on the vessel during the
voyage. The surgeon positively refused to
talk on the subject, even when informed
that a suspicion prevailed that it was
Asiatic cholera. He declared that the
health officer DR.. Jenkins, had his report
in the matter and could make it public if
he desired. A seaman on the Karamania
