Neck Bay, Long Island, and is half mile
from the village of Bay Side. 1t was orig
inally called THE Ems, but Mr. Greene,
with a pathetic remembrance of his natal
State, has translated the original title into
Los Olmos, which is much more euphon-
ious. II has a frontage of 1900 feet on the
bay, which is on an inlet from Long Island
Sound, and the entire estate is comprised
in thirty-five acres.

and the students, college fraternities and
other numerous organizations. 1t is a
book of over three hundred pages and
contains engravings of scenes about the
grounds, of members of the faculty and
humorous cuts representing the student
life. The work is well done and makes a
pretty volume. The literary work is above
the average.
1t is in the Blue and Gold that the stu
dent takes liberties with the faculty. The
following joke is published about the popu-
lar Professor Tommy Bacon: ut was
in lecture on the French Revolution
The professor was waxing eloquent. Dur
ing a splendid flight of oratory, while his
audience followed him with bated breath
through the horrible scenes of the revolu-
ton, he paused and said: I do not as
a rule believe in remembering dates, but
there is one date that is never to be forgot
ten The professor pounded on the desk
to emphasize his remarks and repeated,
Never to be forgotten, never to be forgot

working tailings below quartz mill. The
best use of the appliance, however, is in
opening a small mine not sufficiently de-
yeioped to pay for it's own mill. The
miners sort out their ore and crush the
last of it on the arastra, which they keep
running daily, only stopping occasionally
to clean ND. The arastra is the best ANAL
gamator known, but is slow, which pos
sibly proves that time is rather an impor-
tant element in amalgamating. Arastras,
which are of Mexican origin, are to be
found in almost every camp in the country
where gold ores are worked. They are
easily built, and the material, stones and
wood, can be obtained anywhere. A bed of
heavy stones is laid with a circular
rim, also of stone, and In the center is
placed an upright timber on which an arm
or crosspiece is so arranged that it can be
revolved and drag around several heavy
blocks of stone attached by chains. A
mule or horse is harnessed to the arm and
he moves in circle, thus dragging the
heavy stones over the stone surface.
The ore is broken in small pieces and
water is admitted, so by the process the
ore is crushed into fine pulp and the
mixed with this pulp and catches in the
interstices of the rocky bed. When clean
ing up no ore is fed, but water continues
to flow until the pulp is churned and
washed away, leaving the amalgam, which
is then taken out, retorted in the usual
way and the gold obtained. All over this
State men work their gold ore in small
way by means Of these arastras, though
when a mine is developed sufficiently a
mill is purchased, because of its increased
capacity for ore-crushlng.

HE is Gone FOR GOOD,
CLAW M. Greene, the Dramatist,
Has Become a Long
Islander.
HIS HOME IN THE FAR EAST
An Old Colonial Mansion on the
Sunny Shores of the
Sound.

When a Californian becomes famous in
literature or art he packs his grip, sells out
his effects, bids farewell to the golden
shore and makes his home in the East.
Thus he conforms to the general belief
that while the Pacific Coast is admirably
adapted for the birth of genius, and is in
this respect good mother, it is bad
nurse, and genius has to go elsewhere for
encouragement and sustenance.
Bret Harte departed long ago and has
never returned, Julian Rix will never Law
brush to canvas again in California, Joa-
quin Miller waltzed around Boston and
England before he decided to make perma-
nent settlement here, and now Clay NJ.
Greene, the representative California dra-
matst, will call Long Island his home for
the rest of his natural life.
Clay Greene has been a success from the
beginning. His plays have been well re-
ceived and have made for him, indepeE-
dent OF his patrimony, comfortable for
tune. They have the true ring about
them, are exciting in incident and healthy
in tone, and the last is usually an improve
ment on its predecessor, showing that Mr..
Greene Is progressing in the dramatic art.
He is now on a visit to San Francisco. He
has ceased TO be a Californian and hence
forth will be nothing but visitor, fact
much to be regretted by his companions
in Bohemia. He alludes to himself as an
Eastern farmer and delights in discussing
agricultural topics with Senator Beard or
Theodore Payne in preference to art or
literature.
He believes in rotation of crops and is an
enthusiast in summer following. He has
given much attention to the investigation
of the most nutritious food for cattle in
winter and processes to be an authority on
the management of the dairy.
Clay Greene's home, where his future
plays viii be written, is situated on Little

New Process of Working Gold

Shortly.
LOWER CALIFORNIA PROSPECTS
Good Reports From Many Counties

The Beam process of working refractory
gold ores is to be tested on two plants at
Calaveras and one in Wyoming. The
claims of what the process can do are
somewhat extravagant, as given in the
newspapers, as for instance: ut will save
the gold even when it does not appear in
