The situation in Crete is us bal as ever
The Sultan is playing his usual game of
dilatory negotiation, promising vague re.
forms and doing nothing, and while the Kings
of Europe wrangle and debate, the Ol~tan(
Greeks suffer. Their patience. however. is
getting exhausted, and it il said that the
younger men in the inSurgent army are ella
mourning for a declaration of independence on
Sunday,-unless the concessions demanded
have been previously made by the Porte.
Meantime hell ours in from Greece. in spite
Of the efforts of lie Greek Government. On
Thursday, for example. it was reported that
two thousand armed Greeks with guns and a
large supply of cartridges had landed. The
most hopeful piece of news is that the Palace
is getting seriously alarmed at the financial
situation caused by the expenses incurred
in Crete, In all probability the end If
Turkey will be due to a financial collapse.
The Prince of Naples has found a bride at

The proposed race between the sex

least the days have passed on which
the races were to come of. 1t seems
strange that the public could be so
easily taken in. The idea that a BIZ
cycle could be made to travel a mile
in less than fifty seconds seems pre-
posterous. Great things have been ac-
complished in the art of bicycle con-
struction both in ways of producing
speed and durability. but as yet no

CYANIDE PROCESS THE
HOPE OF HILLSBORO.

The use of cyanide consists oil
three methods teaching, percola-
tion and precipitation. The ore is
first crushed ia mill to abe ut the
size of small nuts or peas. II is
then conveyed TO circular steel sats'
where the solution is applied
This reduces the gold in the ore TO
liquid form, which percolates
through false bottom in the vat
no a trough, where it comes in con-
aot with zinc shavings. causing
chemical action and precipitating
the gold. The process ID rapid.
A mill of six watts Is feet across
and s feet in depth will handle 60
tons per day with ease. The pro.
cess 10 cheap, too, Cyanide costs
about so cents per pound, and it
'sequires about one pound to the
ton. Forty. eight gallons of water
per ton is the quantity used. One
mill handles 200 tons per day, and
this is by means the limit of pos
sibiiity. OF course larger mills
will handle ores at less expense
than those of smaller output.
After careful Investigation, made
with view of nscertalning accur-
ateiy the coat of treating ores, 1T is
stated that tho price will average
fioln 81 to So so per ton, at the
outside. There may be isolated
instauces where this cost may he
less, aud in those cases the owners
are the more fortunate, There
may be cases where the figures are
increased bet II SO, they have not
been made known.
The process of reducing cyanide
10 gold is very simple. A cruclble
aas fire are all that is needed TO
produce gold bars worth 80 per
cent in value.
