Eight more tanks viii now be added
to the plant, making its capacity as
per original agreement, fifty tons per
day.
In regard to the cost Of treatment by
this process, the following demonstrates
that it will be comparatively small
!. A twenty-five-hogse power engine
is required to run the dynamo and agi
tators for the fifty-ton plant.
2. One man on each shift can run it
8. One man one shift in q hours
can run the Huntington mills to crush
the fifty tons Of ore practically re
quiring only three men to run the
plant
T. No grinding is done with mullers,
as in the pan process and there are no
shoes and dies to wear out and be re-
placed
5. The power required, as compared
with the amalgamation process, is com
paritiyely small, which, with the cost
Of fuel here, is an important saving.
G. The loss of quicksilver is compar-
atively slight.
Taking everything into ocopsideration
it now looks as if this new method Of
treating talcy ores would SO reduce
the costs as to make valuable almost
mountains Of ore in Owyhee mines
which are too low in grade to be worked
BY any former known process, and if
results prove only as satisfactory as
the present tests indicate. it promises
to work not only a revolution in mill.

Morality Of Miners.

A man who claims to have visited
British Columbia during the past year
writes to the Liverpool Post to warn
English girls against emigrating to the
mining districts of that psoyince and
says:
The inhabitants are chiefly men Of
the lowest possible type, who gain a
livelihood by gold mining, and vary
their occupation by following the pro
fession Of gamblers. The astounding
number Of drinking saloons in proper
tion to the population, which one in
variably finds in these towns, is a suf-
ficient proof even to a casual visitor, of
their bad character, but the real depth
of their yileness can only be fathomed
after a considerable stay. They are
then found to be veritable dens Of ini-
quity foul blots on their magnificent
surroundings, and certainly not the
places where we would wish our sisters
TO find husbands. To which the Min
ing and Scientific Press replies as fol
lows
snch palpable, bald slander, if pub
Iished in this country, whore the char
acter Of the gold miner is 50 well known
would not be taken seriously. But,
published in one OF the most reputable
of the great English dailies, it may do
considerable harm.
The gold miner Of the Pacific coast Of
to-day has many characteristics that
won for the men Of 70 the respect Of
all who understand them. This is es-
pecially true of tie miners in the new
er districts. Probably the fact that the
miner does his drinking and gambling
openly and not secretly, viii impress
the. casual visitor wrongly. The honest
miner is IN the habit of doing all things
opealy and allowing the world to judge
him by all he does, rather than trying
to show only his. best side.

The Durant Case.

The laws delays are having along in
ming in the case of Theodore Durrant,
whose sensational trial for the murder
of a young woman ina San Francisco
church, is still fresh ia the public mind.
Durrant was convicted Of murder in
the first degree, but his attorneys have
been able to. postpone his sentence on
one pretext or another, for over a year.
1t is now stated that he viii undoubt-
edIy receive another long respite. The
Supreme court has, taken further con
tinuance under adyisement, and has
continued the case for a few weeks, at
the end Of which time there will be a
further continuance. A motion has
been made to the court in bank, to set
aside the submission Of the case, and
the motion was backed up by the aff-
davits of Duprey and Colonel Diclrin-
son, attorneys for Durrant,who claimed
that the reason that they did not pre-
sent tie appellants points in the time
allowed by the rules Of the court was
because there were 264 exceptions in
the transcript off, 400 pages, and that
the labor of compiling the opening
brief was so great that it could not be
finished in time. 1t was expected that
the case would be finally determined
early in this month, but it is now GER
tain that the continuance asked for wiz
be granted, which viii postpone the
final determination for.severaI months.

If President Cleveland will only, in
his message to Congress, to be read
next week, come squarely out on the
Cuban question and recommend that
the beligerant rights of the Cubans be
fully and Immediately recognized, he
will earn thereby some show Of respect
for his administration. There is no
doubt about the universal sympathy Of
the people Of the United States being
with the struggling patriots Of that un
fortunate island. A prompt reeogni-
ton Of beligerant rights, BY this gov
ernment, would at once bring to Cuba
such assistance as would render its in
from the "toothless, old
wolf, which has lost all Of her whelps
but one, " a question Of only few days.

Cleyeland's Gold PARTY.

We congratulate the country on the
prospects that the Cleveland Democ-
racy is likely to maintain its organic
alton. 1t will keep the Mckinley
Democracy out of the great, liberty
loving American organization which
gave six million and half votes for
the principles of Jefferson and Lin
coin. 1t will rid the Democracy of
the communicating influences of
mingling with the followers of the
British gold standard, and give con-
tidence to Populist and silver Repub-
licans that when the majority of the
Democratic Convention at Chicago
separated themselves from the Lom-
bard and Wall street wing of the par
ty, the separation was decisive and
permanent. When the people fully
understand that the line is drawn
and will be preserved between the
goldites on one hand, by whatever
name they may be called, and the
producers of wealth on the other,
there can be no doubt where the ma
jority will be found.
The name Democracy" was made
so odious by Cleveland's administra-
ton that many voters refused to cast
their suffrages for Bryan, because
his party was called the Democratic
party. When they find that the par
ty of Bryan, of Allen, of Butler, of
Jones, and of Teller is the party of
the people contending for the prin-
ciples of the better days of the re-
public, they will realize that there is
q new De mocracy which is not the
Democracy of the Bourbon goldites.
All that is necessary to secure the
restoration of the prosperity of the
better days of the republic is to keep
the line drawn between those who
believe that The United States can
legislate for itself and maintain its
institutions without European aid,
and those who are controlled by the
money powers in the old world. The
division has been made, and all the
people will know it before another
election. They can then choose
whether Americans shall govern
themselves or allow European influ-
ences to control our domestic affairs.

Gov. Bo1e's Ideas,

In a letter to the Chicago Record
Gov. Boies said in part:
No people with power to change it
will long submit TO a financial system
that fixes the level of prices at their
present standard. Our government
will not go out of the banking bust
ness. Private corporations will not
control the currency of this nation.
United States notes will not be re-
tired. Gold bonds will not be sold to
provide for their redemption. Treas
ury notes and silver certificates will
continue to be part of the circula-
ton medium of the country unless
superseded by some other form of
national currency. The nationa
debt will be paid. If increased pro-
duction of commodities is the cause
of present low prices, Increased pro-
duction of commodities is the cause
of present low prices, increased pro-
duction of money with which to
measure their value will be found the
only rational or just remedy. To cur
tail production will multiply idle
men. To continue it at the present
prices will produce the old worlds
scale of wages, the degradation of Ia
Dor in the United States. Some plan
will be discovered by which silver
and gold, the one equal with the
other, will be made common basis
for all our paper currency, and this
in whatever form it is furnished, will
be under the immediate and absolute
control of the government its elf, and
wholly beyond the control of individ-
uals, corporations syndicates or COM
bines. l believe therefore, that too
much thought cannot be bestowed
upon this subject by the common
people, whose every worldly interest
is involved in it's fair and final adjust
ment on lines that meet their intelli-
gent approval. HORACE BoIEs,

Congressman southwiok Makes q Novel
Wager and Comes Out Ahead.
George N. southwick, member Of
congress from the Albany IN. ~ dis
trct, has just won a wager Of 50 900 by
abstatnang from liquor for one year.
Mr.. southw4ck was warned by Anthony
N. Brady ono Of the wealthiest citizens
Of Albany, on November ae, 1895, that
the allurementA Of Warrington lfo
might prove TOO strong for him to resist,
particularly In the matter Of indul-
gence In strong drink. Banter and re-
pArtee among several gentlemen pres
Ant led to q declaration by therepresen-
tative that 1t would not be particle of
trouble for him to never drink another
drop. Mr.. Brady promptly offered to
bet him $4,000 he could not abstain for
one year.
The wager was taken, and in addition
several side wagers were made by Mr..
southwick's friends both for and
against his chances Of success. One Of
these was laid by Mr. Brady with
Eugene D. Wood, the amount being
$4,000 to $4,000 that the representative
would fail. Although the temptations
have been many, Mr.. Southwick comes
