 The effect of the grass passes off in an hour or two, and no bad effects have ever been noticed on account of it. Cat tic on the ranches frequently come upon patches of this grass, where they feed for perhaps half an hour, and then fall asleep for an hour or more, when they wake up and start feeding again.

Dry Concentrating.

The adoption of dry concentrators where water is lacking fer working good ore, and transportation charges are ex cessive, is only question of time. Al least three q fl rent ideas are being worked out new in this city, one of which we mace mention of recently.
 At t0l Nss iish street may be seen another one, owned by A. Nj. II Howell, N. Lindsey, and w. s Sandon. This concen,rator has been tested and the results show that 1t can bc depended on to save from 8J to 90 per cent of the gold, even saving the light gold that is go elusive that 1t floats away in water. This separator is an ingeniously contrivsd d machine, and makes twenty one separa. tons, reducing the quantity of ore worked to five per cent. or in other words concentrating ihe gold in twenty tons of ore into one ton. Of course only ore containing free gold can be profitsbly worked in this way. The owners would like to put their concentration up at some miae where there is poser, and give it a thorough. practical test.
