[western Mining World.

The Coleman Placer Company
are employing about thirty men.
The bedrock is very rich and
they expect to make a $35, 900
cleanup this fall, although they
have had TO do great deal of
dead work this season.
The New Columbia Gold Min
ing Company has completed its
new teaching mill and made a
test run of 250'tons of ore. Sup
erintendent Armstead informs us
that they saved Oh per cent of
the assay value of the ore. Under
the circumstances great credit is
due to Mr.. Armstead as they
have been experimenting with
this ore for several years. They
have a 10-stamp mill on the prop
erty, but it saved only 30 per
cent.
Dan Steen has been doing con-
siderable work on his Continen-
tai claim, and it is looking first
class. The ledge is about forty
feet across and runs from SO to
$t6 per ton in gold, but is very
base.
Considerable work is being
done on Wilson creek, and most
of the claims are looking well.
Mr.. Shermerhorn, late State
geologist, has examined the for
nation and reports the under
lying formation granite; over
laying formation quartzite, prob
ably Cambrian; formation badly
cut up by dykes of porphyry,
diorite, seTpentine and syenite
New claims are being found, ex
tending across the Middle Fork
of the Salmon river. Jack Egar
has very promising claim, as
also has Sam Wyatt.
In the Blackbird district Mr..
Shermerhorn's report on forma-
ton is as follows: General for
nation of country rock, shistose
underlaid by quartzite; ore bear.
ing veins at nearly right angles
to the strike and dip of the for
nation; formation badly shatter
ed, but few dykes appear.
An average sample from thirty
two feet across the Brown Bear
vein was sent to w. George War
ing, author of 'Hydrometallurgy
of Gold and Silver" for analysis
with the following results
Copper $40 per cent, existing
as sulphides.
Iron-16.17 per cent, existing
as sulphides.
Silicate-43.96 per cent includ
ing some lead.
Silver-1.69 ounces per ton.
Gold. 80 ounces per ton.
Considerable work will be done
this winter, most everyone 81
far are doing outside work AND
getting ready. On the Uncle
Sam claim the tunnel is in 26(
feet with a depth of 200 feet
They have five feet of sulphidC
ore that will assay from Is to 2,
per cent copper and from $40 tx
$50 in gold.
There is $50 feet of tunnel il
the Brown Bear with depth O
only eighty feet, but the last 10(
feet of tunnel is cutting the ledg'
about four feet in twelve, ant
from here the sample vast takel
that was analysed by Mr.. War
ing. Surface indications poin
to the vein being from 100 to 10
feet wide. 1t can be traced TO.
over 5000 feet.
The camp was discovered thre'
years ago by Bob Bell who locat
ed the Indian claim, but nothing
was done till last summer.

There is certainly better ground
for believing they will maintain
their combined Democratic and
Populist pluralities under the
impetus of union and the prom
Use of victory than for supposing
that they will reverse their rec
ord and give Republican plural
tiles. Wisconsin is probably the
most doubtful of the three and
may be conceded with Iowa and
Michigan to Mckinley in esti-
mating the probabilities.
The rest of the unplaced States
are on the crest of the great
Western tidal wave of the free
silver movement, and are believ-
ed to be prepared to sweep away
all opposition to Bryan. Min
nesota, Montana, Nebraska,
North and South Dakota, Ore
gon. Washington and West Vir-
ginia are all counted on to give
the Chicago candidate their cleo
torial votes.
They are placed in the Demo
cratic column for good and con
vincing reasons.
Minnesota-Because the Demo
cratic and Populist vote of 1892,
with both those inharmonious
and dissatisfied, was 7410 larger
than the Republican vote.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS without the
prestige of union and free silver
coinage the Democratic and Pop
ulist vote combined was 6064
larger than the Republican vote
in 1892 for President, 2499 larg-
er in the Congressional election
in 1894 and 1857 larger in the
last election for Governor.
Nebraska-Because the com
bined vote was 20,850 larger
than the Republican vote in 1894.
North Dakota--Because fusion
without the prestige of a solid
union defeated the Republicans
for Governor in 1892 by 1923
plurality.
South Dakota-Because the
Democrats and Populists togeth-
er had a plurality over the Re
pu6licans in 1892 under adverse
circumstances that kept Demo
Gratis from the polls, and reduced
their vote more than 60 per cent.
Observation-Disclosures it has
shown large Democratic anc
Populist pluralities over the
Republicans in 1892 and all sub
sequent elections.
West observation-disclosures its
straight Democrats gave Cleve-
land plurality, because all its
State officers and Judiciary are
Democratic, and because il
eight elections only one has beer
Republican in it's result.
The probable results, based OF
the foregoing facts, are thus
stated

 At the close of the war he was ap- pointed United States consular agent at Birmingham, England, where he re- mained four years, engaged in philan- thropic work all the time he could spare from his consular duties. He was very much interested in the Penny Readings In England, which furnish a good mu- sical entertainment for two cents. Af- ter his return to New Britain he spent the rest of his life on a small farm, en- gagged in mission work. He lived to see his favorite scheme of arbitration car ried out in many cases.

ELIHU BURRITT.
Life of the Learned Blacksmith De-
 Scribed.

Life of the Learned Blacksmith De-
 scribed.
 Miss Ellen s. Bartlett of the Wood- side seminary read before the Connect icut Historical society in Hartford
 Tuesday evening. an interesting paper on "Elihu Burritt," the learned black smith of New Britain Miss Bartlett began by contrasting the little barefoot ed boy, who was born in New Britain, December s, 1910, and the scholar, phi lanthropist and great linguist, whom all the world honored when he died, March g. 1879. His great achievements were
 his linguistic attachments, his unselfish efforts for peace and arbitration, and the advocacy of ocean penny postage.
 He was gentle and mild in his makeup,
 firm and persistent in his intent to ac- quire knowledge, and of tremendous ap-
 plication and untiring industry. Bur
 ritt was born in New Britain, then a
 village of but a few houses, and had
 nine brothers and sisters His father and his grandfather both fought in the
 Revolutionary war. His mother was fine woman and a typical Christian character who exercised a refining in f1uence on her family.
 Miss Bartlett described young Bur ritt's delight and surprise wher at the age of ten he walked with his brothers to Pennington, and saw for the first ,, time a church with a spire on it, and | town which appeared to him like q | large city. She also dwelt upon the beautiful scenery around Pennington, then as now one of the most charming
 spots in the Connecticut valley.
 Before Burritt was sixteen his father 1 died after a long illness, and he had to
 do his full share toward supporting the l family. Soon after he was apprenticed l to a blacksmith, when he also learned 1 locksmfthing and wheelwrighting. He
 soon developed desire for knowledge
 and took books from the village libra 1 ry. While working at the forge he ] studied his Latin and Greek grammar, i and then took up also the study of i arithmetic. At twenty-one he had, to 1 him, the great opportunity of studying 1 for three months at the school of his 1 brother Elijah, where he studied the l higher mathematics, Greek and 1 French. He used to carry his Greek l grammar in his hat when he went to | work. One of his earliest achievements i was the translation of Homer's "Iliad," i and he soon acquired the French, Span i ish. Italian and German languages. | The panic of 1887 ruined him financial 1 ly, and he then began the study of He 1 brew He then formed the plan of go- 1 ing to sea so as to earn money with
 which to buy Oriental books, and went | to Boston with that intention. Being 1 disappointed in not finding a vessel 1 there he returned to Worcester, where i he found in the Antiquarian library l there, special facilities for the study of 1 languages. At Worcester he translated 1 a Danish writ which several colleges ! had respectively declined to handle ! When he was thirty years old he could
 read fifty different languages. His i Sanscrit hand book was the first pub I lished in this country. In 1888 he wrote
 the Antiquarian society, modestly sketching his personal history and tell ing of some of his acourements and of-
