For some time past the John +. Byers 20.
have been negotiating with j. L. Potter, OF
Ft, Wayne, Ind, with reference to manufac-
turing a Holster and Conveyer recently pat
ented by that gentleman, tobe used in hand
| ling the dirt from the trench in the construc-
| ton of sewers. The boilers and engines
would, in case of the deal being ccnsumma-
ted, be furnished by the Byers Co. large
four wheeled carriage is run on horizontal
track, on the top of a high trestle, which in
turn rests on wheels running on ground
track. The particular point of merit claimed
for the apparatus over similar contrivances
is the great increase of resultant force real
lied from given horse power. 1t is claimed
that with this machine two yards of dirt can
be raised from the trench with II horse
power engine, whereas other machines re-
quire on an average 40 horse power to elevate
one yard of dirt the same distance.
A track and trestle were constructed on the
company's grounds last week and avery sat
isfactory test of the apparatus made. The
dirt is shoveled into buckets, ten of which
are in the trench constantly aud two in the
carriage, which can be stopped wherever
there is loaded bucket. One of the ma
chimes is at present being operated by the
side of similar machines in the construction
of indianapolis sewers, and thus far has given
the best satisfaction of any of its competitors.
The machine is certainly great improve
ment over those usually employed for such
purposes, and we cannot see why it will not
speedily take the lead in the market. The
part of the item that is of particular interest
| ic+ OF fbo mo chino will he made
by the Byers Co. The addition of such an
output to that Of their famous hoists will
mean vast increase of business at this plant,
and we congratulate the company on its en-
terprise and the citizens of Ravenna on the
good fortune of the town. The machine was
patented August 21st, 1894.

of the Secretary of the Treasury, is.
sued orders to mint authorities at
San Francisco and New Orleans to
begin at once the coinage of silver

month to coin up to the ordinary
capacities of the minis.
The silver to be first coined will
be blanks aud ingots, of which
there is sufficient TO coin about ST..
100000 at these two minis and at
Philadelphia.
Az soon as this supply is ex-
hausted, work probably will begin
on the silver bars, of which there is
q years supply at San Francisco
and New Orleans, and probably FIVE
years supply at Philadelphia.
SO far as can be learned it is not
the purpose of the Government to
extend the coinage of seigniorage
beyond a few millions. but it il
stated that after coming with the
gold the seigniorage which may be
necessary and reaching tho abraded

Story of a Hidden. Treasure.

A middle-aged Hebrew, W. Wineman,
died in the hospital at Montgomery,

bed told an interesting story.
He came from Wollenstein, Germany, several
years ago and settled at Hot Springs Ark
Shortly afterward there moved to Hot Springs
from West Point, Ca, physician whose
name is not stated, and he and Wine
man became great friends. Last winter
the doctor became i'll Of a lingering fever.
Wineman nursed him most tenderk thrnnsls%
out, until his death. An hour or two before he
died, he called his Hebrew friend to him and
: told him that in consideration of his love for
him and his kindly attention he desired to
make him present The dying man said that
under certain rock, near the root Of certain
tree, about miles from West Point. Ga, he
had buried $4,000 in gold. He made will, Civ
ing Wineman title to the money, and append
ed to it diagram, map, intended to show
the location OF the treasure.
Wineman had his friend properly buried and
went at once to West Point to find the money
Fearing lest he should let his secret out. he
searched unaided. principally by night, The
citizens thought his movements suspicious
Seeing him go out after dark with q
pick and an AK, they spotted him for
grave robber and warned him to leave
the neighborhood. This and a lack of ready
funds caused him to leave and to 20 to Mont
,.omery, where he secured employment He
was just preparing to resume the search for
the hidden treasure when sickness ovcrtOoli

tenn statement is as above detailed. He has
