A View Way to Rstort Gold.

We recently asked a miner who
was getting fine gold by sluicing

Ne said. mo don't and yes | do
II don't as you mean retort, but /
do Is mean it myself. I get a
potato, cut off one end, and scoop
out a cavity in it large enough to
take my ball Of amalgam. l next
take . spade or a piece of fiat iron,
and place them over the fire; and
then upon that I place the potato
With the cut side down. Az the
amalaam gets hot the silver evapo-
rates and goes all through the skin,
and neither can it escape by the
iron for the spud is stuck to the
spade. When it ie done take the
spade off the FIRE and let it get cool,

Hooper & Co. of Baker City, Or

failed to commence service and as
consequence Postmaster McMa-

Seven Devils Railroad.

T. w. Bates, the promoter Of thu
Seven DEVILS railroad project, say.
the Statesman, is in the city. Mr.
Bates yesterday informed reporter
that the enterprise for which he hat
been struggling for the past three
years will soon be contaminated
The surveying party were now in
the field, and they would hove the
line run to the Seven Devils in .
short time. The survey is nov
completed from Weiser to Bacon
valley some distance beyond Sa
lubria.
Mr.. Bates made the positive state
ment that the work of construction
would be commenced within sir
weeks and the road would be pushed
without any delays.
Speaking of the Seven Devils
country, Mr.. Bates said that nc
where in the world was such q
wealth of mineral 70 be found. He
knew of several carloads of ore that
had been shipped from that section
no part of which went below 81 pei
cent copper. There was plenty of it.
too. There were also innumerable
gold lodges. He said the building
Of the road would bring hundreds Of
investors into that country. Towns
would spring up as if by magic in
the Seven Devils, and the valleys
would be taxed to supply the PEG.
pie living in them with provisions
and produce.
He said he had the assurance that
a copper plant would follow the
completion of the railroad.
In addition to the impetus the
mining resources of that section
would receive by the building Of the
road, Mr.. Bates said the road would
tap . belt of timber that was IN.
surpassed, and open up country
of the richest Of soil for the farmer
and fruit grower and superior
ranges for the stockmen.

Walter Campbell, tho 18-year-old
SON Of ". O. Campbell, Of Boise
Was seriously injured at Boise July
4th By the accidental discharge Of
his gun. The entire chinbons and
the lower portion Of the jawbone
were shot away. He cannot take
any nouTishment except through ,
tube, and is not expected to survive.
Thomas Catalan, Jr., youngest
son Of T. D. Cahalan, The we'll
known lawyer of Boise, vas killed
on the Fourth while running in the
firemen's race. The unfortunate
young man stumbled and fell, when
the wheel of the heavy hose cart
struck him in the back, rolled him
over and passed over his chest. He
expired in few minutes.
Statesman: John Costello, sheriff
of Kootenai county, is in the city.
He is on his way home from Black
foot, where he placed two patients
in the asylum-Mrs. Mary E. Nc
Lain, aged 40 years, who was quite
violent, and Oscar Johnson, lad
of 8 years. The little fellow was
lost in the woods for several days
about year ago and has not been
right in his mind since. Mr.. Co.'S
tello thinks the boy has been cruel
" treated. and with ordinary care
will-soon recover.
Statesman Captain DeLamar
has lust returned from Phoebe, New,
near which place are the mines he
recently purchased. The captain
is interested in an extensive railroad
and mining enterprise in Nevada in
addition to his own mines. A
number of prominent New York
men, including II. B. Clafin,- the
millionaire merchant, are with the
captain in this enterprise. The
plan is to build a railroad from Mil.
ford, on the Union Pacific to a
point near Phoebe where the syndi-
cate g mines are located. The grade
| was built some time ago and the
new company has only to lay the
ties and rails. This will give an
outlet to the smelters and reduce
the cost of fuel, etc., to minimum.
Captain DeLamar is confident
the road will DO built and when it
is, Nevada will experience mining
boom such % has never been
dreamed of. It is imperative, be
said, for some of these interested in
mines there that the road be con-
structed. For instance, Claflin is
in something like 81, O00, 900 on diff
erent mining properties there and
he could never hope to get his mon
ey out without the assistance OF a
railroad.

Superintendent Bradley of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine at
