"Murtherin" Work.

In a small country town in South
Wales, in the days before the gaslight-
er's torch replace the more cum bersome
ladder, son of Erin was engaged to
extinguish the public lamps, for which
he was to receive 1 shilling a night.
Accordingly, at II o'clock the next
night, he sailed forth, ladder on shout
der. A few minutes later the attention
Of some passersby was attracted by the
unusual spectacle of man on a ladder,
his head thrust as far as it would go
into the lantern of a public lamp, and
bis cheeks inflated, vainly endeavoring
to blow out the gaslight.
Half an hour later the irate Hibernian
again appeared at the. gasworks, and on
being asked for an explanation of his
early return he replied:
'Och, bedad, it's murtherin work.

shilling a night. STRAND Magazine.

This Cabman Should Be In a Museum

He had been carrying a passenger
around town i'll his cab all the after
noon, with frequent stops, at each of
which the fare made an Intellectual
attempt to quench his abnormal thirst,
and he was not too sober when he en-
gagged the cab. Finally the driver came
to the down town hotel where the man
was stopping, and with the aid of the
cabman the passenger went to his room.
Then he wanted to buy drinks for him

Excuse me, - said the driver, ''but
I don't want drink, and I don't be-

The passenger insisted until the driver
rang the bell and ordered soda for his
customer Then the inebriate individual
pulled roll OF bills from his pocket and
told the driver to take his fare out of
that The driver refused, and told the
man he wanted only So.
With a swing of his arm the drunken
man scattered the bills around the room
with the reply:
''There, take your So"
The driver rang the bell and called
for a boy. When the bellboy entered,

ey and give him So The boy did so and
handed the drunken man the roll, in
which was $3.50. The drunken man
apologized and handed the driver bill,
telling him that was for himself. The

4 COY HERO.

He Kept His Promise, Though 1t Cost ETs,,,
His Life.
The Confederate Veteran is engaged
in a noble work in its effort to have q
monument erected to tho young hero
Sam Davis, who died the death of a spy
rather than betray 4 secret that would
have saved his life, but doomed another
to the same death. Sam Davis was q spe-
cial agent for General Bragg, and he
had obtained valuable information Civ
en- him in confidence and on the prom
Use that he would never betray tho
source Of his information. He was not q
spy, for wo believe he wore his Confed-
frate gray when captured, but the pa
pers on his person showed that he had
from some one obtained secret informa-
ton. His life and safe escort into tho
Confederate lines were promised him if
he would give the name of the informer,
but he chose to die instead. He was but
IL boy, and the temptation must havo
been powerful. But he was hero. No
marble shaft or statue in bronze towers
above the dust of nobler life than that
of the fair haired STRIPPING who kept his
faith and his honor and died rather
than break promise.
If monuments are to be built, it il
better to build them in commemoration
of a noble character and simple life
true to the last breath to a knightly
standard Of honor than to genius or to
brilliant achievements. There is a les
son for the humblest as we'll as tho
highest in the martyrdom of Sam Davis.
Every man cannot be a genius. Only tho
highly favored few can win renown by
great deeds. Sam Davis was not of
these. His title to the admiration of his
countrymen rests in simple, steadfast,
unwavering devotion to duty and to q
principle of honor. 1t is a character to
which the common soldier in life's bat
tie may attain. The youth of the land
cannot copy the mighty genius of Lee,
but they may be taught to love truth
and honor, to be faithful even unto death
like Sam Davis.
Raise him a mOnument-a monument
to the young hero of the common people
that will hold aloft the lesson of his
glorious martyrdom-that will teach
the proud and the naughty that even
among the humble and the obscure there
are hearts of gold and souls of iron to
suffer and endure Memphis CONNER

Salt Lake engineers have just cap
tured another heavy contract for out
side mining properties. This time it IS
for the equipment of the United Verdi
copper properties in Arizona, owned by
Hon. w. A Clark, of Butte, with an
electric haulage and lighting plant and
the entire work including construction
and machinery will be furnished by
L. C. Trent & Co. Mr.. Clark has just
awarded the contract and the order
for the machinery is to be filled with
out delay This is one of the heaviest
mining electrical jobs of the west.
When he was in the city the other
day, Mr.. Clark stated that he had
made up his mind to equip the United
Verdi mines with electricity through
out and he then asked for bids on the
necessary machinery. The contract
includes the furnishing of full COM
plement of electrical apparatus, both
lighting and power, including electri-
cal locomotives and hoists for the
mines.

1t Was Only Il Fake.

The statement made by morning
contemporary in Its issue yesterday
morning to the effect that Hon. Allen
G. Campbell and Hon. Robert C. Lund
had secured control of the Elizabeth
Consolidated Mining and Milling com
pany, through the transfer to them
of 100000 shares of the stock, was en-
tirely untrue. No such deal has been
made, nor is it likely to ever be made.
a proposition was made to Mr.. Camp
bell by the Elizabeth company people,
and Mr.. Lund Inspected the properties,
but nothing came of the matter. Mr..
Campbell stated yesterday that the
story was without foundation, as he
did not even think of taking any Of
the stock of the company. In view of
the fact that a certain gentleman con-
nected with the company in a legal
way has repeatedly endeavored to dis
pose of a block of the stock for some
thing in the neighborhood of ~ cents
per share, the whole affair looks like
a stock jobbing scheme.

GEYsER WILL BE OPERATED.
ed For the Working of the Prop
critics.

New arrangements having been
made, the Geyser mines and mill will
be operated, after all, before the com
pletion of the Gold Belt Water COM
pany's system. The work will be in
charge Of Superintendent Stuart, who
came in from the camp Friday night
for the purpose of consulting with
Mr.. Gisborn on matters relative to the
properties. AS result of that meet
ing Mr.. Stuart was authorized to go
out to the camp and resume operations
in both the mines and mill. 1t is pro-
posed to take care of the outstanding
time checks and bank checks at
once.
Glen R. Boutwell,, one of the owners
of the Geyser- and holder of the lease
and bond on the Hecla, will go out to
the Mercur on Monday for the pur-
pose of personally placing the new
boiler which is to furnish steam for
the operation of the pump on the Hec-
la shaft. The water raised will be sent
down to the Geyser mill in order that
the operation of the latter may be
made possible.

amalgam drains off and is separated
In the usual way.
1t is claimed for the new process
that it works a saving of time, requires
fewer watts and consequently a smaller
plant and is less expensive than the
old cyanide treatment. At the 1abora-
tory of the company, 1880 Wynkoop
street, a one-ton. plant has been in
operation for several months and many
tests have been made on Colorado ores.
On Gilpin county sulphides the inven-
tors claim to have saved so. per cent.
Captain ]. r. lie Lamar has been won
to the process and a plant to handle
fifty tons a day is now being built at
De Lamar, Idaho, to begin operations
inside Of three weeks. The contract is
for a mill of $50 tons capacity and the
enlargement is to be made early next
spring. Tests were being made yester-
day on ores from De Lamar's mines at
Mercur, Utah, and on Cripple Creek
ores. If they are successful the pro-
cess is to take the place of chlorina-
ton in the mill at Lawrence, Colo,
and be employed in a new plant to be
built in Utah. An 81 per cent saving
is claimed out of the idaho ores for
which the first plant is being erected.
In that mill stamps and pan amalga-
nation is being supplanted by the new
process.
Patents of the new process were
taken out in the United States on Oc-
tober %. 1894. The original mill was
built in Italy about two years ago, but
the practical evolution of the system
has been effected in the laboratory in
this city. Electricity has been used
before as precipitation for the con-
tents of copper matte but this is the
first recorded case of it's successful
Utilization as a commercial process in
precipitating direct from the ores. The
operation Of the Idaho mill will there
fore be watched with much interest.

NEW YORK. Sept. 21.-The New
York Financier says: The statement
of the associated banks Of New York
City for the week ending Septembe:
81 reflects in part the effect of the
higher money market abroad and to
the interior. The unusually large de-
crease in loans-S5, 456, O00-comfng after
a continued expansion which had in
creased that item from $5O6, 176.0 900 on
July q to 1922, SOS, 800 on September 16,
can be accounted for on the theory
that loans made at the prevailing low
rates during that period have been
called Whether the falling excess re-
serve, bringing with it higher money
rates, will still further contract the
loan account is a problem The rate
for loans during the week ranged
around 2 per cent. The situation favors
a higher money market. The demand
from the interior continues. The de-
crease in the holdings of gold reflect
deposits made with the subtreasury or
withdrawals from the banks for that
purpose, and the heavy loss in legal
tender is beaated evidence of the loss
sustained during the previous week,
when the heavy movement of gold was
at it's height.
The decrease of $1S, POI 900 in deposits
has not been equalled this yea1', al
though in the six days between Janu-
airy IS and February 2 the loss exceed
ed 1900, 000. That, too, was at q time
gold was going to Europe.

MAKING SOME MORE TESTS.
Captain De Lamar May Use the Pc
Iatan-CIerici Process in a Mill on
the Golden Gate.

Since his acquisition of the Golden
Gate properties in the Camp Floyd
district, Captain DeLamar has made
many tests of the high grade arsenic2l
ore found in them in such abundance
for the purpose of determining the
proper process of treatment. Consider
able quantities of the ore have been
sent to the mill at DeLamar, while
other shipments have gone to Idaho
New York, Denver and Chicago. To
date no decision has been reached as
to the best treatment for the ores, but
the indications are that the captain
will select the Pelatan-Clerici process,
a combination of teaching by cyanide
and precipitation by electricity. Tests
of the Golden Gate ore are now being
made with the process at Denver and
it is not at all unlikely that a plant
will speedily be erected for the treat
ment OF the ore by the method named.
Speaking of this new process the Den
yer Republican says:
The precipitation of gold and silver
by electricity from the ore direct has
interested scientists for a number of
years. For several months a, party of
French rnineralogists has been expert
menting with such a process in this
to its adoption in mills for practical
operation.
The Pelatan-Clerici process, as it is
named after the inventors, is a com
bination of teaching by cyanide of
potassium and precipitation. by an
electrical current. The ore being first
crushed to exceeding fneness is placed
in a teaching vat of wood or masonry.
The bottom of the vat is a copper
plate which is connected with the
negative pole of a dynamo. Through
the center Of the vat runs a shaft from
which radiates arms that serve to keep
the contents stirred up as the shaft
revolves. To this shaft is connected
the positive pole of the dynamo. The
copper plates in the bottom of the vat
are covered with mercury, the crushed
ore put in with water to hold it in So
luton and the usual quantity of eva
hide. AS the cyanide does it's work
the shaft reyolyes and the freed
metals are deposited upon the
amalgam in the bottom
In from eight to ten hours the process
does its work SO that the ore solution
is ready to be drawn off and after that
is done second vent is opened and the

NEW FURNACE GOING IN.
Germania and Hanauer Will Prob
ably Increase Their Work This
Week.

By tomorrow the new smelter at the
Germania should be in commission 1t
has been completed for some time past
and yesterday Mr.. Jones gave orders
to have it dried out and prepared for
work on ore. 1t requires some little
time to prepare one of these furnaces,
and in consequence it is hardly prob
able that full operation will be on be-
fore tomorrow. The new roasters at
this plant have been working for a
considerable length of time
1t is anticipated that the storm will
increase the flow of Big Cottonwood so
materially that the Hanauer will be
enabled to operate more than two
stacks as at present. Now that the
entire country has received such a
more irrigation streams will be needed,
and this being the case the creek
should return to its normal condition
and the power wheels at the smelters
be enabled to furnish sufficient motive
power for the operation of three or
more furnaces. With the coming of
additional power a third stack is to be
blown in at the Hanauer.
At present there are but seven
stacks in blast at the smelters in the
valley. One of the reasons-the chief
reason-for this small number is the
lack of ore receipts There are now
so many properties Of the territory
which are sending, their products out
side for treatment that the supplies of
the shelters south of this city are cut
down very materially.

ORE is COMING IN.
Another Change For the Better in
the Niagara Tunnel.

Another Change For the Better in
the Niagara Tunnel.
Still another change for the better
has just taken place in the Niagara
tunnel, and the outlook for the future
of the great Improvement is brighter
than ever before. Small stringers of
ore are coming in at the face and
while the values contained therein are
low, still there is every indication Of
the near presence of a large ore body,
evidently the vein for which the tun-
mel has been driven since its COM
mencement. Secretary Montgomery
has just returned from the properties
of the company, and while at the tun-
mel he made a measurement Of its
length, finding that the face is some
distance beyond the 2,70O-foot mark.
The ore that is coming in is white
quartz, carrying a considerable guam
tity of iron and some silver and lead.
1t is not known just at this time
whether or not any drifting will take
place from the tunnel, but more than
likely the management will order a
continuation of the tunnel for some
distance ahead before any other eX-
plorations are made.
Since. the close down Of the Span
ish mill, the lessees of the property
have been engaged in taking out ore
for shipment to the valley smelters,
and now they have quite quantity
on hand. It is anticipated that move
ment of the product will take place
within the next few days. The mill will
probably not resume operations before
next spring.
