1t is fact well known to gold
miners, but few others, that in
the same river channels the small
lest pieces of water-worn gold
are purer than the larger ones.
1t is also true that the exterior
layer of water-worn nuggets is
finer than the interior. The
phenomena is readily explained.
Native gold always contains sill
yer, and on the average, about
one-tenth of a nugget consists of
the white metal. This is much
more easily corroded than gold,
and is attacked, for example, by
sulphureted hydrogen and by
common salt, both ordinary in
gradients of surface waters.
Such substances act upon the
silver close to the surface of a
nugget and dissolve it away, or
convert it into brittle compounds
which wear away as the nugget
is rolled forward beneath the
heavy stones at the bottom of a
stream. These facts are not al-
together commonplace today,
and yet the more essential of
them have been known since
ancient times. Thus Pliny an
nounced that river gold is rein
ed by the stream itself, and by
the attrition accompanying The
movement of the metallic par
ticles down stream. Oviedo, the
companion of Columbus, had a
curious sound view of the whole
history of gold. In his History
of the indies" printed in 1885,
one finds statements to the fol
lowing effect Gold is general
ed in the entrails of the earth,
but it is born in veins at or near
the tops of mountains, whence
the storm waters sweep it slow
ly downward into the gulches
and ravines. AS it progresses in
its journey it loses it's originally
rough and crinkled CONFORMATION,
becoming rounded and az the
same time purified so that in one
and the same stream-bed it is
found of greater putty in pro
portion as the distance from its
birthplace (the vein) increases,
also in less abundance. Hence
he concludes that much time, in
fact many years, are requisite to
effect its transportation and pur-
ification through the action OF
water. Oviedo's wording is
even more quaint than this par,
aphrase, but his ideas are as
modern as the latest graduate
could desire. Well, after all,
medieval miners are the intel,
lectual ancestors of modern geo.

e. IT. Woodwork, one of the

promoters of the Boise Butte
railroad, arrived in the city yes
terday from the east. He was
seen yesterday by reporter and
asked as to the plans. He stated
that the building of the road was
assured and he was ready to re-
ceive any proposition the people
of Boise had to make with view
to placing this city on the line.
He had no proposal to make to
the people here, but said that
more than a right-of-way would
be required. He would not say
how much of a bonus he would
accept, but the opinion of bust
ness men Is that $150,000 would
be satisfactory. All that Mr..
Woodwork would say with ref
erence to a bonus was that he
was ready to receive a PROPOSE
ton and that not a cent would be
asked until the road was built
and trains running over it. He
said it was a straight business
proposition, and If the road was
not built the people would not be
required to pay o dollar or deed
q foot of land.
The articles of Incorporation
of the road, which will be known
as the California. Idaho & Mon
tana, will be filed here in a few
days. Articles have already
been filed in Wyoming, and will
be filed ia other states soon.
The incorporators include Theo-
dore Voorhees,, of Philadelphia,
vice president of the Reading
railroad system; William Harker,
a Philadelphia capitalist reputed
to be worth so, 100000; Moritz
Lippman, wealthy New York
or; Earnest M. Dickey, of Chica-
go, who is connected with the
Little Rock railroad, HI. @. and
II. A. Woodwork, ofDenver and
others.
The proposed line is from
Butte via. Silver Bow to the Ida
no line near Gibbonsville, through
Salmon and thence to the princi-
pal towns of Custer county, to
Atlanta and Rocky Bar via. Red
Fish lakes, down Boise river to
this city, to Nampa or Caldwell
to old Camp Lyon near Silver
City and DeLamar, to Nevada
via. Beckwith's pass and on 10
some California connection,
probably through to San Fran
cisco. liz the road does not come
through Boise it will probably
branch off in Custer county and
come down the Payette and then
on through Owyhee and to Cali
fornia. The total cost of the
road is estimated at $25, 600, 900,
the distance being about 1000
miles.
1t is more than likely a meet
ing of business men will be held
today with a view to deciding
upon some bonus to offer Mr.,
Woodwork. A right-of- way has
already been rendered, but he
says that is not sufficient. The
first work on the road will be tc
build line to tap the Owyhes
mines on the one side and She
and the timber belt ON the other

Mercur Notes.

Mercur Mercury-General Penrose Of
Fort Douglas, came out last Tuesday
TO inspect operations at the Gold Dust.
Work is going on steadily at this
property and the general believes their
tunnel is being run in the proper loca-
ton.
Messrs. Dern, Airs, Heinrich, and
Bridge, of the Mercur company, were
here Tuesday inspecting the Rovers in
which they are interested. On Wednes-
day they paid a VISIT to the Sunshine
and other properties in that neig lbor-
hood. The gentlemen all expressed
themselves as being highly pleased
with the outlook Of the camp.
The shaft on the Cannon property
is now down 800 feet and the indica-
tons are that it will rot be necessary
to go much deeper to strike a high
grade ore. Much interest is taken in
the development of this property and
a good showing will undoubtedly be
made at no far distant date.
a major interest in the Burlington
group, in the eastern part of the dis
trict. owned by Thornton, Graves and
others, has been bonded to Salt Lake
parties.
The Golden Gate company is roasting
a pile of ore in the open air, consist
ing of several tons.
The shaft on the Eagle group. north
of camp, is now down over a hun
dred feet, and well timbered all the
way. Some water is being encountered
but not enough to seriously retard
operations. Superintendent Clark feels
confident that he will soon be in good
ore.

delegate for every fifty members and
one additional for each fraction over
fifty; two for every hundred members
and one additional for each fraction
over one hundred and so on. These

vidual Irishmen of good repute, who
endorse the objects of the movement,
and who are willing to give it their
aid, will, we understand, be admitted
to the privileges of the floor on recon-
mendation of the secretary.
The railroad managers. east. south

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Four hundred
and twenty-five excise cases were set
down for hearing today before Justice
Jerome, in the new court of special
sessions An immense throng filed the
court room and the halls leading to 1t
when the court opened. The rush was
precipitated by the Justices announce
ment on Wednesday last that all the
dealers who would plead guilty today
would be let off with $25 fine; that
any one who would plead guilty after
September l would be fined $500, while
those who stood trial and were found
guilty would be sent to the peniten-
tiary for three months.
When the court opened, Justice
Jerome, Justice Hays and Justice Hol-
brook were present.
Justice Jerome at once announced
that all those liquor dealers who would
plead guilty would be let off with a
fine of $50.

"who did not plead guilty will with
draw Another day will be set down
for their trial" There was immedi-
ately a tremendous rush for the bar.

rush of the liquor dealers.
1t was like a football game, and the
liquor men fought to get first in the
line.

said the clerk, and there was a rustic
of bills and greenbacks were fourished.
In a short space of time, bills We're
piled a foot high on the desk in front
of the clerk, and he was obliged to
call out for a respite from his task. 1t
was said that at least half Of those on
the calendar would plead guilty, and
judging by the proceedings, the esti-
mate was not too much.
Six big policemen had to keep the
crowd in order and they had to keep
hustling.
In two hours before noon, s7,7O0 in
fines was received. The collections
from excise fines for the month of
August amount to $4,000.
Before adjourning court today, JUS

BEST FRu1T-DRY1NG METHODS.

In useful and timely paper on the
above subject read at the late Escon-
dido Farmers Institute, Maurice
Ready said:
Now that the dried fruit products
are assuming such large proportions
any discussion of methods of curing
is both timely and profitable.
Care must be taken to gather the
fruit full ripe but not overripe, and
above all not green. Green fruit dries
to nothing-dark little chips without
value or weight-yet vile enough in
appearance to lower the grade and
lessen the value of the pack Over
ripe fruit spreads out and presents an
untidy appearance, and while not I'M
wholesome like the unripe fruit, yet
like it it Injuries the selling value of
! the whole
1 have not seen what L consider a
perfect pitting machine yet, and re-
course must be still had to hand pit
ting. The fruit should be cut
entirely around and the pit lifted
out, not squeezed out nor pushed
through the end. Careless pitters
sometimes adopt this method and in
Jure the fruit in appearance SO treated.
Drying grounds should be kept clean
| and free from dust, and strips 1xS
laid on the ground and the trays laid
on them. l have found this gives bet
ter satisfaction than laying the trays
on the ground
Proper thinning of the fruit should
be done so as to produce fair sized
fruit, as l consider it more profitable
for drying purposes than over large or
small fruit.
Probably 10 INN ta V1f in
drying is the bleaching. The trade de-
mands a bleached fruit, and the pro-
Queer must furnish it or he will soon
go to the wall, but he should certainly
furnish it in the least Objectionable
form. Any more sulphur than is re-
quired to properly bleach the fruit is
useless and probably injurious.
After several experiments [ con-
Guided that one pound of sulphur to
seventy fruit trays, two and half by
three feet and holding about twenty
pounds of fruit each, was amply suffi-
cient and | have not used more than
that amount for the past four years,
and [ leave the fruit in the sulphur
box from three to four hours, or until
it shows signs of sweating.
Properly ripe fruit requires less time
to bleach than overripe or green fruit.
Thoroughly ripe fruit sulphured in this
way Immediately after it is cut is not
strong acid; it retains it's strength, it
looks better and, L think, is better than
unsulphured fruit.
Time required for drying varies ac-
cording to the fruit and condition of
the weather. Apricots dry in three to
four days; peaches, from four to six
days. When the fruit is about two
thirds dry it should be stacked up and
allowed to cure in the shade from two
to three days. The fruit should be
taken from the trays in the middle
of the day, as worms are less liable
to bother than when taken from the
trays in the morning or evening.
The fruit should be put in the sweat
boxes and allowed to remain for about
ten days; then it is ready for packing.

Not a "WiIdcat."

GAINESVILLE, O., Aug SO.-When
the gainesville Savings bank collapsed
four years ago among the assets found
was $250,00 worth OF stock in a west
ern mine. At that time the mine was
thought to be worthless, but it now
appears to be valuable. The mine is
paying a fair dividend, and the stock
is nearly at par. The indications are
that the depositors in the wrecked
bank will be paid a good dividend with
the prospects that ultimately they may
receive their deposits back in full.
