WATER EATS GOLD.
Millions of Dollars Taken From

Millions of Dollars Taken From
Quartz by the Flowing Water.
Boston Journal of Commerce.
1t is not generally known, even in
California, that millions of dollars
are annually taken from rude heaps
of base-looking quartz by the flowing
of water over huge piles of broken
rocks that contain the precious met
al. The process of robbing the earth
of it's gold has now been reduced to
such fine point that the gentle flow
ing of water over the ore CLEANS it
Of its golden treasures, and this works
well in cases where the old chloride
and other methods are not so useful.
The water used by miners in bring
ing gold from piles of mineral-bear-
ing quartz is charged with a simple
chemical, which has the potency to
dissolve gold and hold it in solution.
/ The sparkling liquid, which flows
\ over hundreds of tons of quartz,
trickles through the mines and seeks
! its level, laden with gold, is charged
with a deadly poison, cyanide of po-
tassium, drug which ferrets out
the minutest particles of the yellow
ish metal, and dissolves them and
brings the precious burden to the
watts for conversion into refined gold
again.
! The cyanide process is as noiseless
and unerring as the laws of gravita-
tion.5 The method is based on the
fact that even very weak solution
of cyanide Of potassium dissolves
gold and silver, forming, respective
ly, auro-potassic cyanide and argen-
to-potassic cyanide. The solution is
separated from the solid material,
and the gold and silver are precipi-
tated in metallic form. During the
last five years the process has been
introduced into almost every gold
field in California and elsewhere, and
more than S200O0,OOO has been recov-
cred by the gentle flowing of waters
charged with the magical chemical.
Precipitation is effected by the use
Of fine pieces of zinc, so arranged
that when the rich waters flow over
them the fine gold clusters in rich
deposits over the zinc, for which it
has an affinity. The gold deposits
itself in the form of fine dust on the

WHAT AlLs THE. PEOPLE?
The True Cause of Most Physical
Troubles Made Perfectly Clear.

The True Cause of Most Physical
Troubles Made Perfectly Clear.
What are the principal ailments Of
the American people?"
This question was recently put by a
reporter to DR.. Ephraim Cutler, whose
name stands foremost in the ranks of
the medical profession. His answer
Was:
"Bright's disease"
1.-The great increase Of this fearful
malady is attracting universal atten-
ton. Every one is anxious to know
how it Is brought on. What causes 1t,
Doctor?"
The physician paused for few min
utes before replying, and then said:
Il can best explain that by very rim
pie illustration. Any one who eats beef
steak knows what is fat and what Is
lean. NV, If the muscle of the steak
Is partially changed to fat, it Is called
fatty degeneration In the same way,
with the human body, If the kidney
substance changes into fat, it is called
'Brights disease Bright's disease is
fatty degeneration, and not one person
In twelve Is free from some form of
kidney or liver disease"
May 1 ask If there is any cure of
these complaints?" the reporter in
quired.
Yes" replied the doctor, there is,
If people will only take the right rem
edy at the right time. AS a rule, it is
only when they break down, lose appe-
tite, find their compilations sallow, a
constant white coating on the tongue,
and infiamed eyes that they suspect
anything is wrong. American genius
has found it possible to arrest diseases
of the liver and kidneys, and to pos
itively cure Bright's disease. The dis
covery of Warmers Safe Cure has been
God-send to the world. There are
thousands of men and women who are
alive today and are kept in health en-
tirely through it's use. This fact is
known and admitted by physicians in
every portion of the globe"
The words of the doctor are true, and
they demand the serious consideration
Of every one who reads these lines.
Bright's disease is, undoubtedly, the
most alarming of all our modern dis
eases. 1t often comes without warning,
has few symptoms of its own, but
shows the signs of almost all other
complaints. Any man or woman who
is at all 'out of Sorts" should not hes
itate, for it is a well known truth that
delays are dangerous"

Divorce Again Granted.

Judge Belden yesterday morning
heard a divorce case which promises to
be the last in the old court house. 1t
was the action of Dell F. Allen against
Mary Allen, and was once before trled %
at this term of court. The plaintif
sued under the new law passed a. the
last session of the legislature, making
desertion for a year basis for suit.
The law did not go into effect before
the 1st of October, and the case was
tried early in September According to
the law the decree was not. granted
legally, and the action was dismissed
to be brought legally under the statute.
The divorce was quickly granted.

POWER OF SPEECH RESTORED.
Remarkable Effect of an Accident
Upon Philadelphia Child.

Upon Philadelphia Child.
The physicians at st. Timothy's hos
pital, in Philadelphia, have under
treatment now in the hospital one of
the most remarkable cases in the his
tory of the institution. Six weeks ago
today Joseph Whitehead, two and a
half years old was struck by Ridge
avenue trolley car near Ridge avenue
and Crawford street, and was removed
to the hospital suffering with COM
pound fracture of the skull, broken
collar bone and general contusions of
the body. He was unconscious and
was not expected to live.
About two weeks later, says the
Philadelphia Press, he regained his
senses, but was unable to speak, and
one side of his body was paralyZed.
On Aug. 28 the physicians trephined
the skull, removing a circular piece
with the hope that by releasing the
pressure on the brain 1t would be pos
sible to restore the paralyzed portions.
1t was, however, unsuccessful. Since
then the broken collar bone knitted,
and the child has grown quite strong.
Thinking the speech centers We're
probably affected, the doctors decided
to again trephine the skull in another
place. They were greatly astonished to
learn that the child had spoken one
or two words and was now talking COM
paratively freely for child of his age.
The operation was postponed, and it is
expected will not be performed at all.
The boys recovery is now almost
assured, but it is feared he will be par
tally paralyZed for life.

which was accepted, and the pro-

ficers and judges will all be present to
receive, most of them having their
stations in the large court room.
Clerks and deputies will be stationed
in their respective offices to show Wis
itors around. The commissioners will
have no set programme, no music,
flowers or refreshments. They will
fly a huge flag from the tower during
the day, and at night four red lights
will shine from the towers as beacon
lights. The interior of the court house
will be we'll Illuminated, and forty eX-
ira lights will make the great halls
light as day. During the afternoon
President Johnson will make a report
on behalf of the commission, and the
county side will be formally turned
over to the county commissioners.

Westminster Budget.
The burial of one Lee Ye Yueng at
Chicago the other day was a great oc-
casion in the Chinese quarter, which
turned out en- bloc to make half holi-
day of the event. They looked woe-be-
gone in the extreme, and their purple
tunics, blue silk jackets, shoes en-
broidered in white, red and gold, and
enormous pigtails were only so many
additional signs of distress. Each
mourner carried in his hand paper bags
and parcels, and these were given to
the good man who was dead to take on
his journey to another world, of which
the following legend was circulated at
the said funeral:
AFTER a Chinaman dies he must
cross a dark river, beset with hobgob-
Inns and dragons. If the dead man car
ries a sufficient amount. of food he may
appease the hunger of these rapacious
monsters and at the same time fortify
himself. Accordingly, meat. poultry.
vegetables and salads are brought by
the guests, who load the carriages with
dainties.''

FOR MAYOR PRATT.
The City Ministers Have Il Rod in
Pickle.

The incipient agitation among the
ministers of the city over the saloon
administration of Mayor Pratt has
taken definite form, and a meeting will
be held this afternoon at Plymouth
church, at which the ministers of the
city will take the matter up and de-
eide upon what line to pursue their
further attacks upon the municipal eX-
ecutive.
The meeting is the outgrowth of the
recent agitation among the Congre-
gational ministers of Minneapolis. Last
Monday morning, at a meeting of the
Methodist ministers at the Hennepin
Avenue M. E. church, the subject was
considered by those present, and it
was decided that some action should be
taken. The Methodist ministers were
almost unanimously in favor of max
ing fight, and they decided to have
a good representation at the meeting
this afternoon. The Congregational
ministers were also nearly all present.

TODAY is MOVING DAY.
Waste Paper Knee Deep in the
Old Court House.


The old courthouse is deserted A.
greater part of the old furniture has
been removed to the new structure and
papers and parcels in every conceiv-
able shape and form are thrown out
of the building promiscuously. The
work of removing to the new building
was carried on vigorously all day
yesterday and a dozen or more large
dray loads of merchandise were trans
ferred to the future scene of labors OF
the county officials.
Judge Steele of the probate court,
has removed nearly all of the files In
his portion of the building and by.
noon today nothing but the old office
furniture will remain. County Treas
urer Hastings is the only one who has
not begun transferring his property,
but today noon will see him safely en-
sconced in the new building. The
sheriff, the auditor, the register OF
decide, the clerk of courts and all of the
Judges have succeeded in effecting
transfer of most of their goods and
chattels. This evening will see the
place entirely deserted by it's former
habitues.
The question of what judge will hear
the last case in the walls of the old
building is causing considerable amuse-
ment to those on the outside. Judge
Smith was hearing the case of the
trustees of Ripon college against Chas.
Brown all day yesterday, but he did
not get through last night and this
morning will again take it up. Judge
Pond last night waited until after B
o'clock to hear the report of the jury
in the case of r. L. Penny against
A. c. Haugan, but he will not nave the
honor of being the last judge to hear
a case. 1t is understood that one OF
the other Judges has arranged a coup
to spring upon his colleagues. He has
decided to hear a motion today and 1t
has been arranged so that it will come
when the other judges have all gone
home. He will thus secure the coV-
eted honor.
