Crusbfns Hundreds of IONS of Rock For
Small Iinii OF Ore.


For recovering frecsgold from its ores
the only successful method, though
crude, which has attained any measure
OF confidence is that known as stamp
milling. Imagine long, low building,
one side lined with portfolios, through
which rock Is fed into hugo mortars
In these, ranged along tho wall, pcstlos,
called stamps, drop at regular intervals,
pulverizing the rock in u bath of water
Ono hundred and twenty-five Of these
stamps, weighing 600 pounds each,
pound away at the quartzose ore, with
20 or 30 strokes minute, amid infer
nal din, contrasting strangely with the
engine that quietly drives them all.
Each swish OF the water that seems
glad to escape the noisy thraldom and
ccaseless pounding drives little Of the
pulpy orc through screens In the front
Of the mortars and over inclined copper
plates, the mercurial surface Of which
seizes the freed gold while the rock dis
appears over the tailboard, onward TO
the creek. Formerly no effort was made
TO recover any value from these tailings,

of the mineral. Now, however, the use
of additional plates and tables adds to
the total receipts, which arc further in
creased by the introduction Of blankets,
in the nap Of which some Of the riches
are mechanically collected. Though
crude, this is an improvement upon tho
method Of collecting gold in the Malay
islands, where the washings swept over
prostrate women, in whose hair the
metal was caught On every Sunday the
giant pestles arc hung up for rest, while
the mercury gold alloy is scraped off the
plates. After straining, the amalgam is
of almost the consistency Of thick corn
meal mush and contains about one
fourth Of its weight in invisible par.

weeks run the mercury is distilled,

Of the size Of baseball, as the fruits OF

A Comparison In Years.

may still remain some ground to be pos

But 90 does not by any means give
up the battle Of life. It feels middle
aged and vigorous and thinks old age
Is long way in the future. Sixty re-

An Unreasonable Man.

Perplexity is in great distress OF
mind. Her husband refuses to provide
for her and her child, and threatens to
sell everything they have and turn her
and her little daughter out of doors.
She asks what can be done and how
can she secure some decent provision
for herself and her family. Answer:
You do not give the state in which you
live and, therefore, the answer must
be somewhat incomplete. In any case,
you will probably be forced to take
some legal measures to obtain the JUS
tice that your husband denies you. In
taking upon himself the relations OF
husband and father, man voluntarily
assumes responsibilities that the laws
Of his country will not allow him to
shirk. Your first mistake was in al
lowing him to use your money without
giving you something to show for it.
Having used it for your mutual benefit,
you may not be able to recover any
thing. But if he has property he must
support you and his child in the style
that BELTS his means. New York

very hard task to clear a house of these
pests. One of the best ways is to be
careful to leave no food exposed,
gather up every crumb, and in some
convenient place put a few crumbs of
bread or cake. When the insects have
gathered about itsprinkle pure Persian
powder over them or blow it from a
bellows and they will soon smother
and become confused and stupid. They
may then be swept up on dust pan
and burned Blowing Persian powder
throw the cracks of the walls will
sometimes bring them out in great
numbers, when they will become al
most hfeless and may be destroyed.
Do not throw them in the garbage box
or coal scuttle, as they will recover
within few hours.
