though since her marriage she has re-
sided in Boise City, the scene Of nearly
all her recent stories. Her art education

geniuses For years after her success

curious public know anything Of her
personality. Even now but little IL

is the appreciation Of her work. Her

has been obdurate to all appeals for her
portrait, although she is besieged from
every quarter.
While never permitting her homo

is as one of the many happy wives and

daughters. the eldest Of whom, although
yet very young, already displays q

to illustration in black and white, and

Los Angeles is to have a smeltes

Los Angeles is to have smelter
with a capacity Of 400 to 500 tons
q day. The partially constructed
bailding on the east bank of the
river will be used and completed
by January lst. A mining man
expresses the opinion that this
will make Los Angeles second
Denver. The ores which now lies
upon the dumps Of 500 mines will
come here and millions of dollars
will flow into Los Angeles. A
dozen smelters will follow and Los
Angeles will be the greatest mining
city on the western coast. Farmer

and fro, gathering the gold in the
grooves and at the bow OF the boat.
These antique tools and mining
works were displayed in the South
American sections or in the archae-
logical division OF the main mining
display at the Worlds fair. The
rich mines OF gold and silver IN the
mountains OF Mexico have been
worked since prehistoric times by
the ancient Monterumas. The
process Of treating the ores sur
wives to the present day. The ore
is packed to the producing estab-
lishmens called haciendas. Is as
sorted and then pulverlzed in the
arastra. This consists of large
round vat. like q mortar. with
grinding arrangement consisting OF
thres granite stones Of an oblong
shape. These are to be tied to a
pole, connected with an a<le and

The somewhat famous patio
process" was invented by Bsrth-
lone de Madina, Mexican miner
about 1851. Within two centuries
il was generally used throughout
Mexico and then adopted In Ea-
rope only to be replaced by more
modern methods. The process
derives its names from the patio,
or yards. at the mouth OF the mine
where the operation is usually con-
ducted. The pasty mud taken
from the arastra mills is thrown
upon a hard stone floor, and after
being filled with quicksilver aud
salt, is called soup. After under
going evaporation for several days.
the mass is stirred up by the feet
Of horses and men until it is well
mixed, when it 10 called cake or
mud. The amaigamated silver is
washed and then placed in canvas
bags.
The mercury is squeezed out by
pressure and the residual silver 10
purified in furnace and then run
off into moulds. Mexico still fur
nishes some of the old fashioned
Catalan forces for iron making
with their crude hammers and
water blasts. Catalonia was a
province In Spain where this
antique implement was first en-
ployed, and from which skilled
ironmongers we're exported to the
new world. To New Mexico and
Arizona the Aztec mines, worked
by poems hundreds OF years age. are
still to be found, and in the state
of Sonora, Senator Tabor OF Den
yer lately purchased and reopened
one of these known from early
history as the Santa Maria or

northward to the Colorado line

ORIGIN OF GOLD.
Denver Mining Iudastry.

Denver Mining Industry.
A common theory among miners
regarding the origin OF gold veins,
twenty-five years ago, was that the
vein matter was thrown up from
the center OF the earth In volcanic
eruption of the fiery elements.
And not more than thirty years
ago, "the hypothesis OF the igneous
origin OF the "vein stuff Of min
eral VEINS was stoutly advocated
by eminent geologists." Now, that
theory so far as regards the earth
ly minerals Of yein," finds prsc-
ti;ally no advocates. Many, how
ever, still hold that "the gold of
quartz veins was introduced into
the interstices OF the quartz by
igneous action. There are others.
again, who, while admitting the
aqueous introduction OF the gold
into the veins, still maintain the
theory OF its earlier igneous uprise
from the deep interior into the
massive rocks containing the veins.
A recent theory. however, makes
the waters OF the sea the souroe OF
the worlds gold. Hence the gold
was not only introduced into all
the veins by water, but also teok
it's origin from that same aqueous
element.
The supporters Of this theory
claim in its favor that gold Is
absent from volcanic products.
This il maintained 10 certainly .
strong point. II gold is Of igneous
origin, ID would certainly be asso-
ciated with the matter brought to
the surface by the action of fire at
Its deepest depths. Yet a writer in
q recent issue OF the Scientific
American supplement declares
that as widely distributed q metal
as gold ls, lit 10 almost 1t not quite
unknown as volcanic product"
rnd that in gold producing volcanic
regions. the gold is rather in the
veins trsversing the volcanic
rocks than in the volcanic rocks
themselves. In the British Islands
it is claimed, gold was found in
the non-volcanic but not the vol
canic districts. II is absent from
the great volcanic island OF Ice
land, from the eminently volcanic
areas of Sicily and from the vol
canic regions OF France and Ger
many. Il is found in the bed OF
the Rhine that brings detritus
from the volcanic Alps. Il 10

ANCIENT GOLD MINERS.

The Incas of South America are
among the most ancient OF gold
miners. The amount of gold and
silver produced by them is amsz-
ing. Athulapa, the last OF their
chiefs, bribed Pizara for release
from prison by Offering to fill with
gold, as high as he could reach, a
room 22x17 feet. These Indians
we're very successful mining engi-
neers. Many of the canals and
sluices constructed by them in
their hydraulic mining, still exist
In Peru and show surprising inge-
nuity. Many Of their copper min
ing tools have also been discovered.
For washing the metalliferous dirt
they employed a so-called 'bates,"
or wooden ''psn," differing from
the miners pan in Arizona only
in having a conical bottom at the
apex OF which gold was collected
by dexterous handling. These In
dians were also acquainted with
the process of collecting gold by
rifles.
The Amazon Indians used
iugout canoe, Its bottom finted
with transverse grooves. This
they tipped on end, turned on
some water, and then rocked 1t TO

says that the light of the sun is the
result of electrical vibrations in the

separates us from that great lumi-

great central FIRE, as the scientists
have all along held. Ii these vi

duce these vibrations. 1t would
