A Eittle Hero.

The Grow children living at the
Brunswick Mill narrowly escaped
drowning last Sunday afternoon. Two
of the children were sent to the river
for pail of water, three smaller ones
accompanying them, taking sled for
coasting on the ice. The ice was not
strong enough to bear their weight
and the Children were precipitated
into the water.
Allie Grow, an elder sister, rushed
from the house to aid the children and
was followed Immediately by her BROTH
er John, lad thirteen years of age.
Allie ventured too near the edge of
the ice and also fell into the water.
John by this time had reached the spot
and he succeed in getting Allie in such
a position that her elbows rested on
the ice and kept her head above water.
John then helped out four of the lit
tie ones, but one child foated down
the river under the ice and it's recov-
cry seemed impossible. John was not
daunted by the situation but plunged
bravely into the water, swan dist
ance of nearly forty feet beneath the
ice and brought the child out through
an air hole.
Almost the entire population of
Brunswick had gathered by this time
and the children were promptly cared
for.
Everybody in this part of the world
is praising the brave lad for his quick
wit and prompt courage in the hour of
need. All honor to brave Johnny

NEW GOLD-sAVlNG PROCESS.
e. R HOlden's Method for Treatin g
LOw-Grade Ores and Placers.
Denver Times.

Denver Times
Tt has been ascertained from good
authority that E. R. Holden has per-
fected and patented a process for the
treatment of low grade gold ores, and
particularly for extracting the gold
from placers. The process is an ab-
solute solution of the problem of treat
ing low grade gold ores, the principle
being based upon law of nature,
coupled with mechanism to take adj
vantage of this law. It is said that
placer dirt can be handled for less that
25 cents ton, and every trace of gold
distracted from it. The great trouble
in all know processes and devices here
tofore used has been due to the fact
that fine gold, or the gold that had an
oxidized coating of iron or other solu-
ton upon it's surface, was not IN a
condition to be amalgamated, and on
account of the low value per ton of the
material, it has been practically value
less. The new process overcomes all
these objections.
Demonstrations have been made of
the efficacy of the machine by Mr..
Holden to a few experts and capita
lists in the city, all of whom agree as
to its being the greatest device yet in
troduced into the metallurgical world.
1t is said that this invention will re-
volutionize the production of gold in
this and other countries, and, being
the invention of Mr.. Holden, it GER
tainly bears the stamp of genuineness,
as his experience in metallurgicall
fields is second to none in this country.
The process consists of very mex
pensive apparatus, thereby placing it
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1894-01-27

within the power of every poor mai
to operate for himself, and removes
the necessity of placer owners being
obliged to spend many thousands of
dollars to secure hydraulic pressure;
and, in cases where no water can be
obtained, still enables the owner of the
placer to operate without it's use ex-
cept to very limited degree, as no
water pressure of running water is re-
quired for the operation of this pro-
cess. Mr.. Holden claims it will in
crease the production of gold within
the next five years to $4,000, 900, 900
a year.
It is interesting to bear in mind that
this invention does away entirely with
hydraulic mining, and relegates the
famous "giant" to place among the
relics of an ''effete past. Any man,
no matter how poor he is, may engage
in placer mining with certainty of get
ting a good return out of what has
heretofore been waste dirt, which in
cludes apparently valueless tailings.
Even dirt containing only 30 cents
worth of gold to the yard can be pro-
fitably treated.
Mr.. Holden will shortly receive let
tiers patent from Washington and will
be able to show his friends model OF
his invention in few days. He will
not handle the invention himself, but
will let others take it off his hands in
the way of State rights.
Mr.. Holden is a graduate of Col
umbia College, class '76, and is known
all over the West for his enterprise
and activity in mining operations.

Sale of Gold Mines Reported.

A Denver press dispatch of January
10Th, says:
Eben Smith, general manager of
David I'll. Moffatt's mines returned
to-day from the Ferguson district,
fifty miles south of Phoebe, New. He
has concluded the purchase of gold
property for $500, 900.
Mofat and his associates will take
half interest, and propose to spend
100000 at once in developing the
property. They will putup their own
smelter at cost of $50, 900, as the
mine is 200 miles from railroad and
transportation of ore by wagon is i'm
practicable.
Smith reports an ore vein twenty
six feet wide, of which six feet aver
ages $3.50 ton. The remaining
twenty feet runs from $18 to 500.
This district is on the proposed line
of the new Nevada Southern Railway,
which is being built northward from
COTS station, now Blake, Cal. All
reports received in Denver Indicate
that there is an immense amount of
gold in the now almost inaccessible re-
gion which this road is intended to
traverse, and the confidential agents
of the big mining men are going in
to it,
The Smith Moffatt purchase indi-
Gates that a new bonanza region will
be opened next summer It is not
likely to be poor mans country, as the
railroad may not get through for a long
time and heavy capital is needed to in
sure profit.
Last Wednesday evening Henry r.
Wolcott left for New York to close the
purchase which himself and his brother
Senator Wolcott, and company OF
New York friends are making of the
famous Mercur mine, which gives It's
name to the Mercur district, Utah.
The consideration is 81, 900, 900.
The mine is a heavy producer OF
gold ore running S8 to $16 ton. The
vein is a fiat, from eight to fourteen
feet thick, and is worked like coal. L

Cure for a FelOn.

Here is something worth trying
should you have an occasion: "There
is no use walking the floor with a fell
on, says gentleman who has had
some experience in that direction.
"Wrap cloth loosely around the fell
on, leaving the end open. Pour gun
powder in the end until the felon is
covered; then keep it wet with camphor.
In two hours the pain will be relieved
and a perfect cure will follow. Elk

quartz is decomposed, free in gold,

such mines In group at Jacalitos,
the veins as well defined as could
be desired. One Mexican there
has, without any giant powder or
other assistance than pick and

gold, seventy-fve feet. The placers
OF Juarez look woll. There are
100 men there. Rockers are
generally used, but dry washing is
carried on to some extent. One
man was working with dry wash

whole contrivance would not weigh
more than ten pounds, but that he
was meeting success was shown by
the fact that he had two or three
vaseline bottles filed with gold.
The miners who use rockers get
the necessary water from a man
named Elder who h.s as good
