WATER AND GOLD.

simple Process by which Millions ~ Dol
@ lars Are annually Gained.
IL is not generally known, even in
California. that millions OF dollars are
annually taken from rude heaps Of
base-lookiug quartz by the flowing OF
water over huge piles Of broken rocks
that contain the precious metal. The
process OF robbing the earth OF It's gold
has now been reduced To such fine
point that the gentle Aow OF water
over the ore CLEANS it of its golden
treasures, and this works well iu cases
where the old chloride and other meth
DDS are not SO useful.
The water used by miners In bring
ing gold from piles of mineral bearing
quartz is charged with a simple chem
ical, which has the potency TO dissolve
gold and hold it In solution. The
sparkling liquid, which flows over hun-
dreds of tons of quartz. tricsles through
the mines and seeks It's level, laden
with gold, is charged with deadly
poison, cyanide Of potassium, drug
which ferrets out the minutest parts-
Giles of the yellowish metal and dis
solves them and brings tho precious
burden 10 the vats for conversion into
refined gold again,
The cyanide process is as noiseless
and unerring as the laws OF gravita-
ton. The method is based on the fact
that even very weak solution cyanide
OF potassium dissoives gold aud silver,
forming, respectively, anro-potassic
cyanide and argent o-pottassic cyanide.
The solution Is separated from thel
solid material, and the gold and silvst
are preclpitated In metallic form.
During the last Ave years the process
has been introduced into alraost every
gold field In California and elsewhere.
and more than twenty millions 81 dol.
lars have been recovered by the Rentle
flow OF the waters charged with the
magical chemical.

Patriotic League of America Formed
III New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-The Patriotic
League of America, which has just been
organized in this city, has issued an ad-
dress to the People of the United
States" explaining the objects of the or
ganization which concludes as follows:
THE well known policy of this Govern
ment TO keep "a peace with all the world
as long as peace can be preserved with
out loss of honor viii be the policy OF the
league but it viii insist that the means
for securing peace Will be found in the
most ample provisions for the defense
of our coasts, both by sea and land; in
a liberal policy toward the army and
navy; in such an adjustment Of the tariff
as will furnish ample revenue to meet
all the expenses of the Government and
encourage domestic industry by protect
ing our markets against ruinous cOmpe-
tition from abroad.
While the policy of the league will be
pacific and conservative, its influence will
be exerted TO complete the Nicaragua
canal with American capital, and retain
it under American control; to extend the
boundaries OF the Republic to embrace
adjacent territory, the Hawaiian ISL
auds and islands prOximate to our coast,
whenever the people of those countries
shall voluntarily seek incorporation with
the Union; restore our merchant marine
TO more than it's ancient prestige, and
make the flag of the Republic respected
in every quarter of the globe"

Senator From Louisiana Springs a
Surprise.
NEW ORLEANS, L. A, Dec. IS
United States Senator-elect S. ID. Nc
Emery who was chosen by the Legisla-
ture last summer to succeed Senator
Blanchard on March 4th next, declared
himself in interview today a protec-
ZIONIST, to the surprise of many who had
claSSed him as an extreme free trader.
Il will throw no obstacle in the way of
the Republicans in tariff legislation in
the next Senate said Judge McEnery.
II will not oppose anything that will
help any part of the country for the rea-
son alone that it is a party measure. /
will support measure proposed by any
party if it Will help this country.
I'VE realize in Louisiana the necessity
for legislation that will build up and not
destroy the Industries by which we live.
There is no use Disgusting the fact, Lou
isiana favorS Legislative protection for its
industries, and / will support measure
that will give Louisiana her share. The
tariff is not really a political question; it
is an economic one, and ought never to
have been dragged into politics. But we
are obliged to make the most of things
as we find them and as they are. So ii
seems to me to be the duty of representa-
tive men from this State to overlook the
political side of the question and let Lou
isiana interests and welfare be the first
consideration.

Colonel Spa1ding's Ball
Started Rolling.
introduced by Congressman Loud.
VIII Meet Opposi-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-That the mis-
sion of ex-NIinister John ". Foster did
not fail is indicated by the introduction
in the House today by Loud Of a bill
for a Pacific cable from San Francisco
TO Hawaii, Japan and Australasia. The
bin is in the interest of the Pacific Cable
Company of New Jersey, the SpaIding
corporation, whose franchise expired and
was reported to have been unrenewed by
the Hawaiian Government The bill pro-
vides for q subsidy OF $4,000 a year for
twenty years, payable quarterly, for q
cable line in the Pacific ocean, for which
provision is made in three sections, to be
completed by the close of the year 1901
The first section. from san Francisco to
Honolulu, is to be constructed without
other conditions than the granting Of q
subsidy. The second section, from Hawaii
TO Japan by way of the Midway Islands,
viii not be constructed unless the gov
eT1ments Interested OfIer Il subsidy Of
100000 a year. The third section eX-
tends from Hawaii to Australasia, and
win be constructed on condition of the
receipt from the governments Interested
Of subsidy Of 100000.
Provision is made that in case Of war
the United States may take possession
Of and operate the cable, and ample pro-
vision is made by bonds of $500,0O0 for
the completion of the work, for any fail
ure to operate the cable Tor any ienS IN
of time, and for the transmission Of
government business.
The bill was referred to the committee
on Interstate and foreign commerce. 1t
is practically the same measure intro
duced last session. The bill will prob
ably have hard time in committee, by
reason of the conditions surrounding the
completion of sections two and three.
Representative DOOlitte, the member
from the Coast. in the committee, said
tonight that he would scan it closely be-
fore he would favor it against the New
York Pacific Gable COmpany'S meaSure.
AS there is bound to be a steady growth
of the commerce of the Pacific, Doolit-
tie says the United States should see that
the cable is under it's control, and built
speedily.
Loud would say nothing about the bills
merits, saying that its provisions spoke
for themselves.

SPAIN PLAYING A CAUTIOUS GAME
VIII Avoid Giving the United States

VIII Avoid Giving the united states
Cause for Interference.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Worlds dis
patch from Madrid says:
The Spanish Government will frame a
long memorandum on the Cuban ques-
ton, it is said in political and diplomatic
circles, fully setting forth Spain's views
regarding her rights. and giving the his
tory of the relations between this Gov
eminent and President Cleveland since
the beginning of the revolt.
This memorandum Will be a sort of in
direct reply to the Presidents message.
Ii Will be communicated simultaneously
to the American and European govern
mentS.
The present Spanish cabinet and the
leaders of the political parties agree in
thinking that Spain must continue to
avoid giving America the slightest pro-
vocation for taking Offense. They also
agree that Spain should maintain her
present friendly disposition toward Am
erica in official relations, so that the
whole responsibility of a rupture, if it
is brought about by the Intervention
threatened. should rest with the United
States.

Denial of a Report Regarding the

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA positive de-
NAL is made at the State Department of
the published report that AIustapha Bey,
the Turkish Minister, by direction of the
Sultan had entered a protest against the
language in the Presidents message to
Congress in the treatment of the Turkish
question. The report is characterized as
pure fiction" It is pointed out that
Mustapha Bey did not make a call on
Secretary Olney on the day he is alleged
70 nave signified the displeasure of the
Sultan.
1t is probably true that the Government
OF Turkey is far from pleased at what
AIR Cleveland had to ssay concerning
Turkey, but the rules of International
law are well settled.
