on ThurEdaY of LAST Week

On Thursday of last week
what is known as the Bland
bill passed the House by n
vote of 167 to 80. All OF
the Democratic congressman
from Tennessee voted for the
bill except Congressman
Washington, who was not
present when the vote was
taken. The bill provides for
the coinage of the silver seign-
forage which is estimated will
increase the volume of the
currency $50, 100000 and if
necessary the issue of silver
certificates on same in ad-
vance of the coinage, if deem
ed advisable by the Secretary
of the Treasury, and there
after the coinage of the re-
maindsr of the bullion rs fast
as practicable and the issue of
silver certificates thereon to
take the place of the treasury
notes issued under the Sher-
man act, which are to be can
celled as rapidly az the coin
age takes place. There iS
but little or no doubt Of the
bill not passing the senate,
and if it does the addition 70
the silver currency of the
country within the =:ext eight
years will be about $500, OOO,-

Both President Thomas and T. P.
A. Allison, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, will probably be here at the
next meeting of the association. Let
every farmer that can possibly do
so be here on the fourth Monday.
Upon political questions farmers
may and do differ, but upon the
subject of practical farming and the
best methods to be adopted in order
to attain success, harmony and unity
of action should prevail.

Through the efforts of J. T. Low,
vice-president of the State Associa-

pleased to state, was perfected in the
court house on last Monday. This
association is non-political.
The object of the organization is
for the purpose of drawing farmers
together for the purpose of discus
sing such subjects as they are or
should be interested in. The next
meeting of the association will be
on the fourth Monday in this month
in the court house at 10 o'clock a. m. +,
at which time the following parties
have been by the vice-president as
signed the subjects next to their re-

SOME PLACER NINE BLUM.
DERS

DERS.
Denver Mining Industry.
Denver Is pretty we'll supplied
with men who have placer mines
for sale. They all have reports,
or things which they call reports,
to show as evidence OF ths value of
their properties. II it were not
pitifsl it would be amusing to see
how in most Of these reports there
is a wonderful display of ignorance
about the things necessary to con
stitute good placer mine.
Frequently the Industry has
called attention to them, and finds
it necessary to do so again.
Placer mining consists In NOV
ing earth and gravel from one
place to another, by the use OF
water, and saving the gold while
the earth is being removed. IL is
purely an engineering proposition.
To be successful, it must have
natural facilities to aid ii.
First-There must be an abun-
dance Of water. A small stream
can never do much work in the
way of moving gravel, as a rule a
good deal of gravel must be
moved in order to make a profit.
Sesond-The water must have a
head sufficient to give it force, for
head Of the water used is of as
much importance as volume.
Third The grade of the ground
must be such that the stream will
carry away in sluice-boxes all the
earth and gravel which is moved.
Ii the grade be too little the
sluice- boxes are sure to be choked,
causing them to overflow, and
necessitating costly stoppages and
labor to clean thero out. Or it
may be that lack of grade will
compel extra expense in the way OF
string of men along the sluice-
boxes, who will bs employed in
forking out rocks, which the
strength of the current Is not
sufficient to carry away.
Fourth There must bs a place
to deposit the gravel, or. debris as
1t is called in mining parlance,
without enereaching upon the
rights of others. A want of such
place of deposit is what caused
tina cessation of placer mining In
the greater part of California.
Fifth The gravel must contain
value enough to pay all the ex-
pense of moving and washing, and
it must be of character, and of
such location that it will pay for
Washing. Gravel which contains
great deal ef clay, or very large
boulders, may be wholly antit for
washing. or it may be too costly to
haadle at profit. Again 1T may
contain sufficient value. but be in
such small separate bars. or so
shallow that even though it is rich
in gold, the cost of fumes and
sluise boxes. and the constant
changes of these and of pipes,
may create an expense which will
eat up all profits.
On every enc of these points
mentioned, books have been
written. They call for all the
knowledoa Of n bydraulic enoi-

neer, skill OF surveyor.
judgment Of geologlst and
care of the careful placer
ground prespector. Still there are
plenty Of men who have reports ON
placer properties in this city,
which bear unmistsksable evidence
that those who made them have no
knowledge Of hydraulics, are
totally ignorant OF the carrying
capacity of pipes, bitches or fumes
at any grade, have never heard of
friction or the power OF head, don't
ksow surveyors level or transit
frsm saw horse, and in fact have
no conception OF a placer problem.
Most OF them simply state that
the necessary conditions are pre-
sent, without telling how they
know. They sling around i'm
portant, and often very difficult
determinable truths as though
they were simply common every
day matters OF opinion, of no
especial Importance.
There are so many different
things that might be said about
the countless notifications OF this,
as Of every engineering problem,
that it seems worthless task to
even mention . few. 1t seems SO
clear and plain to the engineer
that it is a complicated problem,
and that every one ought to know
the fact, that 1t should be like
trying teaching the alphabet to
men to speak OF them. But some
how men will not know 1t antn
they have lost money and paid
dearly for common every day
knowledge.
Two illustrations of this occur
TO us now. One is where every
necessary factor, was mentioned
was apparently determined. Bat
one thing was omitted. 1t was the
character of ground through which
the ditch supplying the water was
to be built. 1t happened that
some miles of it was ON q steep
mountain side, covered with
"slids," and when the winter rains
came it caved or run into the ditch,
filing and entirely covering IL.
Now it happened that this same
property had been examined BY
one Of the leading placer mining
engineers in tas country, and he
saw this obstacle to success, which
was apparently insurmouLtsble.
and reported against it. Another
man who knew actually nothing
absut placer mining reported
on 1t, and the result is failure and
money lost.
Another case is where the word
of man was accepted as to the
value of the gravel, without
any knowledge about the worth OF
his judgment, or inquiry about
how he determined it. The fact
that value is quite apt to bs in
channels or strsaks in placer
ground, and is Seldem sssnly dis
I, ibuted, was forgotten, as was the
further fact that il Is job requir-
ing great care and much lsbsr to
prove the value of ground. In
this case plant costing over $780,.
900 was put in, only to find that
the gravel was too poor to work.
A few hundred dollars would have
proven this and saved the $780,
600. Bat the great majority of
men in mining are prone to jump
at conclusions and save at the
spiget while they lose st the sung-
hole.
