GENERAL EARLY'S R0-
NANCE.

Early never married. A pretty
romance Is told about him. When
he was young Lieutenant in 1887
he appeared at the Greenbriar
White Sulphur Springs IN brilliant
uniform and riding a splendid
black stallion One day shortly
after he had gone out for ride, a
beautiful young lady from Phlla-
delphia, debutante, spending her
first season at "Che White," drove
off IN her carriage. She Rad never
met the ysung lieutenant
Near the spring is small creek
usually only few feet deep. Bat
on that afternoon it was swollen
stream of mad, muddy water, sent
down from the mountain side after
long rain of the day before. To
wards the stream the carriage
rolled, and just before reaching II
passed the Lieutenant. At the
banks of the creek the driver
paused second, and then, think
ing that he could make it, urged
his horses IN. Before the team
had reached the middle of the
stream, however, they were washed
off their feet, and, with the floating
carriage, went wildly along with
the mad waves. Early was near
enough the stream to see the drl-
ver's mistake, and, realizing the
lady's danger, buried his rowels in
his horse's side and dashed into the
water.
The carriage was tossing and
rolling upon the waves, and the
lady was screaming. The situation
was desperate, and Early realizing
it, bent his energies to save her.
The young soldier reached the car
ri ge Just as it toppled over The
water rolled over the beautiful girl
and Early thought she was lost, but
a second later sha came no almost
beside him. Reaching down he
caught her by the skirt, and half
a minute later was holdlpg her
motionless body in his arms.
Then, guiding his horse as best
he could, tba Lieutenant made for
the shore. Once on dry land be
gave his stallion the spurs, and in
a few minutes galloped up to the
hotel with the almost lifsless body
of the belle in his arms.
She was carried to her friends,
and then the story of the rescue
was learned. The Lieutenant was
the hero of ths hour. and that eve

back to her home, her heart full

as he tore it away a heavy black

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH
AFRICA.

Denver Mining Industry,
A work entitled "The Golden
Trsnsvaal," gives the history of
the sudden rise of Johannesburg,
in the South African Republic.
The town is only seven years old,
and it now has population of
$4,000. Gold was found at Wit
watersland in 1864, but there was
no real mining until January, 1884,
when Mr. Frederick Shutien be-
gan prospecting on a farm. "On
the very second day." he writes, ~

on the surface, assayed 6 dwt. and
at so feet had improved SO that
some of it showed 2 ozs. On this
farm and surrounding country /

On the 10th of September, 1884, I
struck a gneiss vein some 4 feet
thick, showing very rich and In
some rsck, visible gold. Some OF
the rock assayed very high indeed.
On finding this my brother and 4
decided on erecting 5 stamp mill.
The government proclaimed and
threw open mine farms in 1886,
and the first sale of building sites
in the township OF Johannesburg
took place on December 8, 1886.
The lots ranged from few shill-
ings to 200 pounds sterling each,
and the total sum taken was 1900
pounds sterling. A second sale
(realizizing 1921 pounds sterling)
was held in January, 1887, and .
third (realizing 10000 pounds
sterling) in April. l less than
year hundreds of syndicates had
been formed, with more or less
capital, and prospecting was being
actively pursued in every direction.
Some proved their properties gold
bearing, and doated companies.
one by one, afterwards. Others
were complete failures and thou
sands of pounds were expended
without any tangible results. In
November, 1886, there were no less
than IS gold mining companies,
with q aominal capital of 3,063, 900
pounds sterling. La January.
1890, there were $50 companies,
with 100000 pounds sterling
capital"
There are now 81 producing
mines at Johannesburg, as report
ed by the Witwatersrsnd Chamber
of Mines in the December report.
OF the number, 80 have stamp
mills, the largest having 160
stamps and the smallest 10. The
total number of stamps running is
2,175. The average amount OF ore
crushed por stamp was 3.65 toas
per "a hoars. The average yield
per ton under stamps was 1892.
Total tonnage crushed 210, l6S.
Six of the mills make concentrates
before stamping, and all of them
concentrate tsilings from the
stamps. Three of the mills use
chlorInation to work their concen-
trates, though the same mills use
the McArthur- Forrest process or
their tsilings The concentrates
carry from Sl9 to $50 per ton.
The tonnage worked by the Mo
Arthur For rest process wss l36,
900. aud the yield per ton was
81 so. Th value of the total yield
forDecem her was $2,490. 600.

ANOTHER PROCESS.
Denver Ores and Metals.

Denver Ores and Metals.
The extraction of gold in a sim
pie and economical manner by an
eleetrolitie process, capable OF
dealing with every kind of re-
fractory ore, is said to be the lately
accomplished result of the long
study and experiment on the part
OF q London chemist. There are
several electro chemical processes
already in use for obtaining gold
fiom refractory ores, in which such
d deleterious substances as sulphur,
iron oxide, arsenic, zinc, etc, are
associated with the gold. But it is
found that no one particular pro-
cess is available for every class of
ore. Hence much money il often
expended on an extensive plant for
treating a certain kind of ore,
which has to be abandoned or
supplemented by another plant
when the character OF the ore
changes. The main requirements
in these processes are; First, the
circulation of the pulyerized ore
between positive and negative
poles; second, a solvent liquid for
the gold; third, means of collect
ing the electrolyzed gold, and
fourth, the concentration of the
positive pole.
In the new universal process
the first requirement is met by
having a screw propeller set verti-
cally near the bottom of the tank.
The solvent is dilute solution of
potassium cyanide, and the col
lection of the gold is effected by q
bath of mercury, which constitutes
the negative pole. The positive
pole consists of mass OF pow
dsred pitch or rosia, consolidated
by heat.
In operation the ore, mixed with
a certain portion of water, is
placed in the tank, with the bath
of mercury at the bottom. On
starting the screw the mixture cir
culates down the center of the
tank and impinges gently upon
the surface of the mercury. 1t
then travels up the sides of
the tank, which are conical
and on which the positive pole
is laid, and back, down to the CEN
ter, to be again driven into init
mate contact with the mercury.
The gold is thus brought into con-
tact.with an active instead of q
sluggish mercury surface over
and. over again, until every
particle of geld has been seized
and absorbed r

cult ores have been submitted to
this process, and that in some
cases over 80 per cent, of the con.
tanned gold was extracted.
The chief advantage claimed for
the process is that the gold is ex-
tracted directly from the ore with
out any other preliminary treat
ment than crushing; that the same
chemicals are used over and over
again; that the process efficiently
extracts the gold and silver from
the auriferous ores, whether re-
fractory or free; that the precious
metals are obtained at once from
the amalgam in the metallic state
without further chemical treatment,
and that any workable quantity of
ore may be treated in one vessel at
one operation, and the gold OBJ
tanned In one dAy.--Philadelphia

The great gold belt of Colorado
reaching from Longs Peak to be-
yond the southwest corner of the
state, is over 200 miles long by
eighty miles wide. All over 1t,
every ten or twenty miles, gold has
been found, genei eially in low grade
ore. There are in the state, per-
haps, 5000 open veins in old or
abandoned camps, which were dis
covered years ago, bat which did
not, until recently, pay to work.
While improved transportation and
improved mining machinery have
probably reduced the cost of min
ing one half, the triumph OF the
gold standard has apparently dou-
bled the value of the gold and all
the mines are starting up. 1t is
not extravagant to say that there
are iu Colorado a thousand mil
lions Of gold IN the low grade ore
in sight, most of which will pay
for the working under existing cir
cumstances. ID Ohm Leet, In North

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 0. the
bitterness that has prevailed the ranks
of the Knights of Labor ever since the
meeting of the general assembly in
this city in Novemb Der found express
sion at a meeting held in this city, at
which steps were taken looking
toward thorough overhauling by
the courts of the books of General
Secretary Treasurer John w. Hayes
The meeting adopted an appeal to the
order which says:
Among the reasons which have i'm
PEELED the signers to the course which
they have taken are the following:
Because, in consequence of being
engaged In outside schemes, the gem
eral officers are neglecting the duties
which they are elected to perform and
FOR which they are paid out of the
funds of the order.
Because proof of this negli-
gence is shown in the establish
ment of gas plant at Ephrata, at
a capitalization of $50, 600, among the
incorporates being Thomas b. Nc
CURE and Jacob G. Schonfarber.
Because proof is furnished and
shown in a dispatch received from
Hastings, Neb, on the 18th inst ,
which stated that the gas plant and
nine miles of main, the property of
that town, had been purchased by
John w. Hayes, Thomas b. Mcclure
and Jacob Schonfarber for the sum of
$50, OOo
Therefore, we are forced to resort to
legal process and have decided to
enter the courts to compel a financial
accounting that we believe will result
in exposures contirmatory of our
gravest suspicious.
The appeal concludes with request
for cooperation by members. One of
the national assemblies in this state
has promised $3.50 toward the prose-
cution of the legal investigation if
other assent lies will supply as much
more as may be needed.
The meeting adopted resolutions
