noticed an object shining in the
sun. He dismounted and picked
up ? nugget Of gold that weighed
sixteen ounces. Both men set to-
work, and in an hour and haH
they collected l60 ounces OF gold,
all IN the shape OF large nuggets.
The story may sound strange in
America, but is known to be ab-
soluteiy true in West Australia,
where other men have since picked
up nuggets OF pure gold weighing
pound or more.
The two prospectors pitched their
camp and although they suffered
intensity from lack OF water they
kept steadily at work for six
months, until they had collected
$4,000 ounces of gold by ham,
mering it out of the rock in hand
mortar. Then one OF the men rode
to the nearest government station,
500 miles away on the coast. and
tiled claim for prospecting area.
In addition to their rich find, the
two prospeotors got the government
reward OF thousand pounds
sterling for discovering a new gold
field. Both the men are million
aires to-day, and thousands Of later
arrivals In West Auetralia are
making fortunes. The ore is free
milling and 1000 tons of the ore
that was thrown aside as poor stuff
by the men working with hand
mortar has since yielded under the
stamp eighteea ounces OF gold TO
the ton.
Mr.. Keeenan says three English
lords are restoring their ancestral
fortunes in the new gold mines and
there is a genuine gold fever all
over Australia on account of tie
remarkable success of miners. At
the same time that the new region
is being worked vigorously the
Broken Hill mines are producing
100000 ounces of silver every week
and l.200 tons OF lead. In seven
years the Broken HILL district has
produced $25, 900, 900 and its miners
now give steady employment to
$500 persons. The silver goes to
India to be used in the arts and
large quantities are shipped 30

case is now formally out OF court,

Breckinridge at the close of the
trial having been docketed ani
dismissed on motion of CaIderon

general opinion in Washington
that Miss Pollard viii be usaols

increased appropriations, wher,
other members failed entirely o.
were reduced in amount becaus,
he secured more benefits for hi,
constlI ueney in the postoflice de
/ partment ttHn any other member
OF congress because he PASSED
more private pension bills than any
other member, bringing thus hun.
drcds of dollars eaanthly into thi.
territory for the benefit OF old sol
diers OF the war and their depend
ent relatives.
Think of this record, fellow citi-
zens, and remember the record pub
lished two years ago, showing that
he had passed thirty-iive important
laws during his preceding seven
years In congress aud has secured
over $l,250,000 in appropriations
for this territory, then let the ton
que cleave to the roof of the mouth
that attempts to utter the mon
strons fa!schood, and let the arm
be palsied that would pen the line,
that this faithful servant of the
people has done nothing in con
gress.
THF cATROY RECORD.
Two years ago we published the
I. b. Catron record blank space
for the good and a whole column OF
items of evil-in parallel with
Joseph's record. We do not re-
publish his record now because we
do not want to thresh over old
straw. We have nothing to add to
the blank space of good after two
years more of his career, because
be has added nothing to it himself.
We forget. He has. He paid for
the penitentiary br;ck, after he
had juggled with the territory over
three years about it and we had
hammered" him over three years
for it. And then, after a little more
"hammerng." he paid the interest
on the money.
We have nothing to add to the
list Of items OF bis evil public re-
cord published two years ago,
because he has added nothing to II
himself. This is doubtless due to
The fact that he has had no oppor.
tunity. The administration has
been Democratic, the courts have
been Democratic. the legislature
has been Democratic in the lower
house so that he could not control |
/.
Let him, or some Of his ablest |
ldherents, specify the good OF his
public career, or defend against
he evil Of it we have charged. II
hey can not, then why elect him to
Because he can do less
larm 10 congress than he can do in |
New Mexico?

now'rcppermint Is Distilled.

The process, according to dstiller, is a
very simple one A boiler, a vat, tank and
separator of the most primitive kind are all
that are required TO extract the precious
drops Of oil from the plant. One large still
holds ton of the dry herb. The pepper
mint Is trodden down in the vat by men,
and water is then poured upon the herb.
This is heated by steam. and the contents
of the vat are kept ut boiling point until all
the water is vsporized. The heat causes
the little cells in the leaves and blossoms
to burst and minute particles of oil to es-
cape. These are carried by the steam to
the top of the vat and through coil of tin
pipes Tor "worm'D which run round and
round a tank of cold water.
Gradually the steam is condensed, and
the fluid, a mixture of oil and water. drops
into small separator. The oil floats on the
top. and the water is drained off, though in
order to secure every drop of oil the fluid is
passed into three compartments of the sep
arator When pure, the essence of pepper
mint is almost colorless, but if the herbs
are left in the vat from Saturday to Mon
day the oil will have q brownish tint, and
II larger quantity of water than is neces-
sary be placed in the still the oil will be Of
greenish color.

AN ENTERTAINING EXPERIMENT.
Placing Liquids One Upon the Other So
That They VIII Not Mix.

When fluids are placed one upon another
in the order OF their density, it is we'll
known that the densest liquid falls to the
bottom. This is illustrated by the scien-
tific experiment Of "the vial of the four ele-
ments," which is a plain, long and narrow
bottle containing equal volumes Of metallic
mercury, salt water, alcohol and oil These
four liquids will lie one on the top Of tho
other without mixing, even il shaken.
The equilibrium Of superimposed fluids
can be also entertainingly shown as an
after dinner recreation, it being supposed
that the necessary materials are there at
