Mining on the increase.

Mining men at present are scour-
ing the country for new finds, and
many are meeting with success. Dur
ing the past few weeks several i'm
portant sales have been recorded and
number of good prospects have been
bonded. This latter action indicates
there is daily getting TO be more de
velopment or betting money for min
ing purposes. The greatest activity
now manifested is in the vicinity of
Globe. where not only are new claims
springing into prominence, but the big
copper properties that for decade or
more have been heavy producers, are
now TO increase their output The next
year will show rapid strides in the
great mining industry in Arizona,
whether free coinage is obtained or
not, but should silver again take it's
place as money instead of a commodi-
ty, smoke would arise from many
gulches now quiet, and the sturdy min
ers ten thousand strong would polish
the head of the drill from which a
silver stream of growing wealth would
spring forth to bring happiness, peace
and plenty to this favored region

WHEEL NOTES.

The cyclists of this country are look
ing toward Louisville where the an
nual race meet of the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen will begin on Aug. 10
and continue five days. Everybody had
a royal time at Asbury park last year,
hut those who go to the Blue Grass
state, will in all probability, not be
sorry that they made the journey. The
Kentuckians are a hospita-ble people,
and the visitors will be we'll looked
after. The racing feature promises to
be the best ever given at a national
meet. A large crowd of enthusiasts
will go down from New York and the
east and arrangements are being tnade
to run special trains by more than
one of the roads. Visitors to the meet
should not leave Kentucky without
first visiting Mammoth cave, one of
the wonders Of the country. EXcur-
sions will be run from Louisville to
the cave at reduced rates for L. A. W.
members.
One of New Yorks cleverest theatre
cal manage returned from Europe
this week He went abroad to look
after theatrical attractions, and he has
become an enthusiastic bicycle man.
Ee scarcely knew what a wheel look
ed like when he went abroad and yet
there is no more ardent cycling en-
thusiast today. II went to the bicycle
races in London, Paris, and Liverpool, >
said he, and I never saw anything
like 1T. Why they turn out from $1,000
to 10000 people at a football game over
there, but when they have bicycle races
the sight beats anything L have ever
seen. The people begin to arrive at
the track at O'Clock in the morning
and by the time the races take place,
late arrivals can't even see the track.
1t is the game today in Europe and it
will be the game hereafter in this
country
Never loan your bicycle to anybody.
Better by far 70 go down into your
pockets and hand over to your friend
the price to hire a wheel. 1t is a diff
a person and when you once get it
fixed TO suit you it is better to keep
it that way. If you loan it the Dor
rover is sure to change something.
Those who purchase a new bicycle
every year will readily agree with the
above.
Charley Evans and Papa" Smith
are getting right down to business in
the expectation of trying conclusions
against a chariot, they to ride tan
dem.
All the wheel people were out yester-
day, and the man who thought that
bicycling was becoming less popular
than last year changed his mind

A DRY AMALGAMAToR.
Unique Invention For the Recovery
of nry placa- GoId


of Dry Placer Gold.
A great many endeavors have been
made, with an almost equal number of
failures says the Western Mining World.
to invent a dry process for the amalgama-
ton of gold, and those who are interested
in this question will find the records of the
patent oi1lce of every country full of more
or less valuable information.
A large majority aim al bringing the
hnely pulVeriZed auriferOus sands in close
contact with mercury, although there are
others who endeavor TO produce only rich
concentrates without the use of mercury.
a recent process brought TO our atten-
tlon aims at amalgamauon, and the ma
chine IN principle consists of an iron tube
from three to four inches in diameter bent
INTO spiral form of four turns, with
suitable connections. In the bottom of
each spiral turn some eight pounds of
mercury is poured, forming a pool, but
10 one end Of The tube, near which is a
feeding hopper While the other end is con-
nected with a dust settling chamber. The
intention now is to blow the finely crush
ed and absolutely dry ore through the
spiral and over the mercury pools. These
latter are of course dashed about and to
some extent sprayed by the action OF the
air current, and consequently the particles
OIL ore are brought into contact with the
mercury, Which then amalganateS and
retains any gold that may be present.
The gold which escapes the pool in the
first spiral is carried along to the second,
third and fourth, and by the time the
ore has run the gauntlet of these four it
has parted with the bulk of its gold con-
tents. At the end of the run the mercury
is taken out, the amalgam extracted with
a wash leather and then retorted in the
usual way.
The only power required is that of a
couple of men to turn the blower, while
the whole machine can be mounted on a
barrow-shaped iron frame and wheeled
about as desired.
1t is needless to say that there is a very
large opening for such a simple and port
able machine in the vast auriferous ter
ritories where water is scarce. and if it
will act as well on ordinary free gold as
it does upon the sand. it will fill a long
felt want.

they had trouble with the whim, but it
is now in splendid working order The
shaft is finely timbered and double COM

are well pleased with the property
Professor w. Lindgren, the government
geologist, has arrived and is now in the

Bill Gibbs, who is placer mining a short

EXCITEMENT AT SUMTER.
The Pure Metal Being Taken Out of
the hex Mine.


1t is reported to the Democrat by per-
sons who have just returned from
Sumpter and Cracker Creek districts that
there is great excitement attending the
showing being made by the hex mine,
about six miles from Sumpter,. near the
road on the way to Granite, and the mine
is the talk of these camps.
The Democrats informant states that
a stringer of ore in the vein is almost the
pure yellow metal; and that the remainder
of the three-foot vein is rich in both gold
and silver, ruby and native silver showing
in large quantities.
The owners of the hex are Messrs.
Joseph Nikel, James Fain and Edward
Mahan. The property was discovered
about year ago. During the winter but
little development was done, but since
early spring the owners have been actively
at work with most encouraging prospects
from the first.
The present showing is something
wonderful if reports are true and we have
no reason to doubt them.-Democrat,

hurricane of yesterday in the northern
suburbs The public did not know
what a narrow escape the city had

With the wind blowing sixty miles

within two hours, the weather bureau
says the city was fortunate in, escaping
with only property damage.
This was due to there being no fun

graph wire that had blown into his
yard on the Carthage road. The wire
