A NEW METAL.

A man who has been chopping wood
for a number of years in the Pine Nut
district, Nevada, has found new metal
His stone oven having been burnt out,
he took some clay from a large deposit
he knew Of near by and, mixing it with
a little water, made back, made fire in
the stove and paid no more attention to
it until next morning. when he noticed
his stove back was gone sad in the ashes
he found white metal with scarcely
any weight ~ il. 1t would draw out,
but neither crack nor break. He has
since experimental with it in various
ways The clay will melt like lead, but
the metal produced will stand a heat
like iron or steel and is very flexible
He beat out piece tour inches thick,
six inches wide and eleven inches long.
The block is transparent and weighs
only nine ounces. He says there is no
limit to the clay, as he has seen the
same kind in several parts OF this and
other states. He will melt out q block
two feet square and have il at the Mid
winter fair at San Francisco.-Ore and

be picked up from the bedrock, and had
several nuggets which he asserted came
from that place. He absolutely refused
TO diyulge the location of this rich de-
post, further than TO say il was along
the White river. He said that the place
was zealously guarded by the Indians
and that il would cost him his life to
divulge the place. The surveying party
was not strong enough TO make search
at that time had they been 80 disposed.
Pinkerton has always insisted that the
Indian was not lying about it, and that
some day some lucky prospector would
strike it rich. IN these days of rich
strikes in places least thought OF, it will
not do to say that there is not gold in
the bad lands, as we'll as in many other
places which have never been thor
oughly prospected, IL prospected at all"
THE CYANIDE MILL.
The second clean up of these new
works made yesterday show even better
results than the first run. The Times
was given the following details by sec-
retary Taylor. 42S tons Of ore from the
company's property on Blacktail guich
assaying 500 per ton and III tons and
800 pounds from the Ajax group on
Squaw Creek, assay value So % per ton,
were treated The result was a gold
brick weighing 66 ounces worth Sll6S 20
showing an extraction Of 81. .33 per ceut
with loss Of but lbs. Of cyanide per
ton. The brick contains both the gold
and the silver contained in the ore, the
former being 907 fine This result is
certainly a matter for congratuation
aud proves beyond a doubt that the
method is adapted 10 certain class of
Blacl Hills ores Of which there are an
unlimited quantity. Should the suits
now commenced result in the verdict
that the Macarthur Forrest patents are
invalid we confidently predict that there
will be a number Of mills erected in this
district during the coming season to use
the method.-Times, 80.

Then. when we employ representa-
tives we ought to have a means of com
polling them to conform to the ex
pressed will of the people as laid dowr
in the party platform. If employ q
man to do a certain work according to
certain specifications, and he should
neglect or refuse to follow those speci-
fications, l would dispense with his
services at once; and this is the only
logical way to employ lawmakers. A
party platform should be considered
in the light of an article of agreement,
a breach of which would avoil the
election. And, in case of fragrant
abuse of power, a penalty should be
added. Once let the people know that
party platforms mean something, and
that through them the people may
let their wishes be known, and that
those wishes will be regarded, and you
will then have the labor problem solv-
ed. There will be no great strikes, no
lockouts. no Coxeyites to get on the
grass. The people know what they
want, and when the ballot-box is made
to direct the policies of our govern
ment we will have peace. contentment,
and prosperity.

the refining furnaces. The Deslog
and Taylor have several air furnace
and snelt their own concentrates
These furnaces will only produce abou
forty per cent Of lead out of their sew
enty per cent. concentrates. Thei
slags will contain from twenty to thir
ty per cent of lead.
In regard to the geological fcrma.
tiOn of the disseminated lead ores in
| limestone, there is a difference ot
opinion. more especially in St. Fran
co.'s county. That the ore lies in
basins between water sheds is no ques-
ton. These basins are sometimes
very extensive, like the st. Joe mines,
] for instance, which have been in oper-
alton for over a quarter of century.
Here we have two limestones, both OF
the same character; one contains the
lead ore, while the other contains
none whatever. Both rocks are sepa- :
rated from each other with floor or
seam. These ore beds range in thick
| ness from three feet up to seventy. and
! sometimes one hundred feet, and gen.
|, orally lie fiat, or nearly so. The Cen
trail and Taylor's deposits will average
from four to ten feet thick and have
very high percentage in lead. The
Desloge is about seventy-fve feet
thick, and rather low in percentage.
The Leadington has three such de-
posits: one twelve feet, one thirty five
feet, and one six feet thick.
The twelve foot is on the first level,
about two hundred feet deep. The
ore is we'll disseminated in soft gray
limestone. At the depth of two hun
dred and forty feet is the thirty-ive-
foot deposit. The whole thickness of
the deposit is very rich in lead.
At the depth of three hundred feet
there is deposit of six feet in thick
ness. All work has been confine ed to
the first level, until recently, when they
commenced to open up the thirty-foot
deposit at the second level. l found
that some of the companies don't care
about letting visitors enter their mines,
but at the Leadington you are invited
to go down and see what they have
down there, and Captain Beard always
takes pleasure in showing you through
the mines.
| was informed while at this mine
that actual operations only commenc-
ed on the first day of May last, and
that the one hundred-ton mill had been
kept constantly in operation up to the
time of my visit, and regular ship
ments are being made to some point
in New Jersey. Respectfully.

The Remedy.

Without some very radical change
in our cestoms and laws, representa-
tive government will be a failure in
this country. For more than twenty
years both of the great parties-or. at
least, the wise men in both advocated
revision of the tariff, and it was only
four years ago that the Republican
party came out square in favor of Pro-
lection for Projections sake. AS are
suit of that policy the Republican par
ty was almost wiped out of existence.
The people believed that the Demo
cratic party would ultimately lead to
free trade.
The Democrats also pledged them
selves to restore the money standard of
our fathers. Everyone knows the way
the people have been betrayed. Is it
any wonder that thoughtful people
should begin to doubt all forms of
government? Representative gov
ernment is the best form of govern
ment in existence to-day, but l have
come to regard even that as far from
perfection. To-day we have a repre-
sentative government that doesn't
represent.
In fact, no monarchial government
of Europe could be farther from the
wish of the people than is ours to-day.
What is the remedy for this state of
affairs?
We call our lawmakers our serv-
ants They are indeed our masters.
They rule us with al iron hand, and
we have no redress.
We nominate men who pledge them
selves to stand to our principles. We
tell them in our platforms what we ex-
pect of them.
We have right to expect them to
adhere to those principles. But if
they are careless, or willfully disre-
gard the wish of the people. there is
no remedy but to wait until their terms
expire and then replace them with
others to go and do likewise.
This is fearful state for country
to fall into. and demands thoughtful
attention of our wisest men. The will
Of the people of right ought to be the
law of the land, and the only place that
the will of the people may lie made
known is at the ballot-box. What is
the remedy? In the first place we are
not doing business in business like
manner. What business man or cor
poration will employ men making con-
tracts that they are powerless to re-
woke? What man would enter into a
contract to pay another certain sala-

Since 1873 our gold product has fall
len off $775. 900, 900, as compared with

as compared with 5000. 900, 900 for the
previous 20 years.
OF the $1,9S7, 900. 900 gold produced
from American mines, the treasury re-

$3.50, 100000 in the treasury vaults.
What has become of the other 81, ,3OO,-
100000?
The question itself suggests the full
reconciliation of silver. Almost
$400, ,000,000 of gold has disappeared
since silver was demonetized, whereas
previous thereto it was constantly ac-
cumulating.
The full reconciliation of silver and
its free and unlimited coinage would
add 81, 900. 200, 900 to our metallic cur
rency in much less than decade. Its
influence in the development of our
vast resources is patent to all think
ing people.
The money so coined would not be
made present Of to anyone. But in

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION, 1894.

The history of the St. Louis Expo
sition is without rival in the history
of annual State Expositions. Its sue

Columbian Exposition, which Exposi-
ton was greater and grander than ev-
er held in the capitols of Europe-the
St. Louis Exposition was filled with
exhibits. ard made money-nearly
$25, 900; making the history of the St.
Louis Exposition unrivalled, and its
future sure for years to come.
The season of 1894 is already assur-
ed. The exhibit made by the State of
Missouri at the Columbian Exposition
was brought intact to the St. Louis
Exposition for exhibitions; and is now
being put in place. This exhibit con-
sists of all the. Missouri exhibits, and
will impress every Missourian, as we'll
as every citizen of the United States,
with the resources of the State of Mis-
souri,. The Horticultural, Agricultu-
raj, Mineral and Forestry exhibits,
with that of the System of Popular
Education Throughout the State, and
our Public Schools of St. Louis, will be
shown to the best of advantage. In
fhr y xu;l n,
a collection of woods from the State of
Amazon, Brazil, kindly donated to the
st. Louis Exposition by the Brazilian
Commissioner. The Art Department
will be filled with the very best pic
lures; and all other departments will
be with fine exhibits of every descrlp-
ton and variety.
Sousa's Grand Concert Band will
give four concerts daily. Other at
fractions will be added in the way of
vocal and instrumental artists of ap-
proved merit and reputation.
Reduced passenger rates, as low as
any in the past, have been made by all
railroads centering St. Louis.
In one word, the St. Louis Exposi-
ton for 1894 will excel many of its
previous Expositions. The Worlds
Fair has passed into history as one of
the greatest Fairs ever held, and the
management of the St. Louis Exposi-
tion in announcing the opening of the
Eleventh St. Louis Exposition do SO
with the confidence merrited by it's
success in the past ten years, in giving
the people of st. Eouis and the sur

Oscar Sacks, Of New York City Tells a
Number of Incidents Concerning an
Esteemed Scrantonian's Former Prov.
ess In the Far West. rs
One evening this week a gentleman
slight in stature of about 55 years of
age stopped over in this city to see one
| of his old acquaintances in the person
| Of our we'll known townsman, DR..
| Henry N. Dunnell. 1t seems they have
| known each other for over forty years.
| The visitors name is Oscar Sacks, who
| at present is living in New York city,
| but who was formerly in the far west.
| Thirty-five to forty years ago he fig
| ured in thrilling affair on the plains,
| in which by his bravery he saved the
| lives of his entire party. He was cross
| ing the plains with several companions,
when the party was surrounded by
redskins. 1t was only by breaking
| through the lines of the surrounding
Indians that he brought help which
saved the camp. He was a young man
| then, but afterwards had many brush
with the Indians.
| Our townsman, DR.. II. N. Dunnell,
came here twenty years ago from the
west. 1t seems strange to hear his
friend call him Harry. Mr.. Sacks says
that in the west the doctor was known
only as Handsome Harry" In those
days the doctor had long curly hair,
was about feet 10 inches tall, was red
and rosy with vigorous health and had
skin as fair as a woman's.
One Spirited Adventure.
| One bystander seemed to think the
western men had poor taste in giving
the doctor such a name. He evidently
did not think the doctors nose hand
some, as it was turned little to one
side. "Well," Mr. Sacks said, that
came from an accident afterwards.

about it. / came in near the wind up

was making an apology as he was look

They got fooled, of course, but in the

Mr. Sacks is acquainted with Captain

Scranton. The other evening he took
the doctor around to the Westminster
and introduced him to the captain
They seemed to enjoy themselves very
much, and when they parted, the cap

Mr. Sacks agreed to give one elk's

If half what Mr.. Sacks says about
