NO WASTE. OF WATER.
Simple Process of Extracting Gold from
Ore which Saves millions.

Simple Process of Extracting Gold from
Ore which Saves millions.
From the Boston Journal of Com
merce: 1t is not generally known. even
in California, that millions of dollars
are annually taken from rude heaps of
base-looking 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 dne
point that a gentle flow of water over
the ore CLEANS it of its golden treasures.
and this works we'll in cases where the
old chloride and other methods are not
so useful.
The water used by miners in bringing
gold from piles of mineral-bearing
quartz is charged with simple chem
ical, which has the potency to dissolve
gold and hold it in solution. The spark
ling liquid, which flows over hundreds
of tons of quartz, trickles through the
mines and seeks its level, laden with
gold, is charged with a deadly poison,
cyanide of potassium, a drug which fer
rets out the minutest particles of the
yellowish metal and dissolves them and
brings the precious burden TO the watts
for conversion into refined gold again.
The cyanide process is as noiseless and
unerring as the laws of gravitation. The
method is based on the fact that even
a very weak solution of cyanide of
potassium dissolves gold or silver,
forming respectively auro-potassic cy
anide and argento-potassic cyanide. The
solution is separated from the solid ma
teriaI and the gold and silver are pre-
cipitated in metallic form. During the
last five years the process has been in
troduced into almost every gold field in
California and elsewhere, and more
than $40, 900, 900 has been recovered by
the gentle flow of the waters charged
with the magical chemical.
Precipitation is effected by the use of
fine pieces of zinc, so arranged that
when the rich waters flow over them
the fine gold clusters in rich deposits
over the zinc, for which it has an affin-
ity. The gold deposits itself in the form
of fine dust On the plates of zinc.

BoBBY's PRAYER CUT SHORT.

Punished for Not Including the Wants
of His Sister.
From the Washington Star: Bobby
is small man of 5 years, living out
Mount Pleasant way. Though isping
in speech and four summers the junior
of his sister Frances, he yet fully feels
the Importance of having been born in
to the broad estate of man, looking pit
tyingly indeed upon his sister, whom
fate unkindly sent into the narrow and
trammeled sphere of woman, and con-
descendingly referring to her in gen
eral conversation as "a little dirl.''
The other evening Frances, her night
ly now I lay me" properly said, was
already tucked up in her little brass
bed, when Bobby, still kneeling by his
own couch, deemed it wise, in view of
the approach of Christmas, to supple
ment the regular prayer with petition
for few items which he considers the
necessaries of life, SO he began afresh:
"And, oh bod, fink it's doin' to be
told, send me sled, please-and 'spress
-and-and a wockin' horse" (and
then, as his views on the subject of
transportation grew and enlarged),
"and a bicittle-and-''
At this point Frances became inter-
ested and put in:
pray for me, too. Pray for me. I
need lot of things"
And a pony" continued Bobby, still
petitioning in his own behalf.
Pray for me. Pray for me" Frances
piped in accompaniment.
wifi a ha'ness and waddoR" quoth
the small suppliant.
pray for me- Pray for me-" still
chorused Frances.
"And. oh Dod," concluded Bobby, af-
ter short pause, in which he evidently
entertained for a moment, out finally
dismissed as unworthy the considera-
ton of man, the idea of praying for
dolls and such foolish feminine faneies,
land, oh bod, fordive Fwances' sins.
Amen"
That prayer meeting broke up that
very instant, and in row, for though
Frances may be only "a little dirl." she
is at the same time an incipient new
woman, and the new woman, as every
body knows, will not endure patronage
from anything bearing the semblance
of man.
And thus it came that there were
shrieka of pain from the petitioner,
mingled with loud and energetic views
on the woman question from the petit
tionee, which sounds of warfare disd
away in silence only after mamma, az
cusing herself FROM her card party, had
read the combatants to sleep.

coLoRADo's GOLD FEVER.
Three Mining ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Made
and Lost in a Day.

Three Mining acknowledgement Made
and Lost in a Day.
Colorado is astir over a great specu-
lative wave, the result of the discov-
cry of gold in Cripple Creek. Colorado
Springs already boasts of three min
ing exchanges, and excitement is at
fever heat, says the New York Herald.
All three exchanges are SO busy with
actual orders that one cannot cross the
threshold without fighting for position
Several thousand persons engage in
nothing else from morning to night.
A hundred or two hundred thousand
shares are not uncommon for one brok-
er to hurl at another, while for the day
the aggregate of business frequently
scars to 10000 shares.
The miner who relied on signs for
the presence of ore around Cripple
Creek invariably got left" while the
farmer and cowboy, with only stock
of confidence and blind luck, stumbled
on the bonanzas that have become
famous throughout the world. w. s.
Stratton, a carpenter, three years ago
working for So day, is now the CEN
trail figure of the west with his indie
pendence, that pays him at the rate of
$3.50 900 a month, without referring to
the adjoining properties that are neg
lected until the time when the owner
finds some way of spending the wealth
that has been 1avished upon him.
Then there are James Doyle and James
F. Burns of the Portland, who are
reaping the fruits of industry in pos
session of mine that has been ap-
praised at se,OOO,000. Two years ago
both men were operating drills and
shovels for So a day. These are the
notable men in the district who inspire
others with hope of rivaling their
glories from the same source. Such
careers cast a halo of romance around
the occupation of an ordinary miner
and the incentive is so great that the
denizens of the Colorado city are just
beginning to realize the possibilities
of the new field for speculation.

People are now digging for gold in
Franklin county. Several days ago
Charles McCune found some specks of
gold in the craw of turkey which he
had won at a rattle. He sent the gold
to Prof Orion, the state geologist, who
pronounced it gold, but said that some
of the sand from which the gold came
should have been sent along in order
that some conclusion might be formed
as to the presence of more of the metal
in the same bed. The rest of the con-
tents of the craw, however, had been
thrown away and the sand could not
be furnished. The gobbler did his feed
ing along two small streams which
unite at the Canal Winchester road
Cincinnati Tribune.

The Fight Still Uncertain, With
Tangled Complications.
There Are LivelyTimes Between
Stuart and the Pugs.
FITZ WANTS $4,000.
He Saws He Will Not Go Into the
Ring Until Paid.
The kaleidoscope People Are
Mixed Up in the Row.

Ell PAso, Texas, Feb. 11.-There
were lively times yesterday between
Dan Stuart. Martin Julian, Bob Fitz-
| simmons, the Maher people, and the
parties here who are representing the
kaleidoscope company. The trouble
began when Julian came over from
Juarez and Buck" Connolly, repre-
senting Maher and his hacker, J. J.
| Quinn, came down from Las Cruces to
have a conference with Dan Stuart
The articles of agreement with Fitz-
simmons and Maher stipulated they
were to fight for $40, 900, and if Stuart
failed to bring off the fight on Feb
ruary IA he was to forfeit them the
stake-$5, 600. OF this amount, So, 900
is in the hands of Sam Austin of New
York, the temporary stakeholder.
The conference was at Stuart's sug-
gestion to consider a proposition he
had to make. He asked the men, be-
cause there were so few people here,
to agree to divide only the So, 900 now
up in case the fight did not come off,
instead of demanding the full $40, 600.
Julian was the first to kick. Buck
Connolly, for Maher. was at first in
clined to let Stuart have his way, but
the conference broke up with all
hands in an ugly mood and the ques-
ton as to what the fighters would get
were they not to fight remained I'M
settled.
Later in the day Stuart notified the
managers of the men he would with
would be diveded between them
whether they fought or not
Another squabble has come up which
threatens to break up the whole bus1-
ness. Julian met E. Rector, the kline
toscope representative here, and asked
him if he expected to photograph the
fight Rector admitted he did. Then
Julian said: Il will not allow Fitz-
simmons to appear unless the COM
pany gives us S1O, 900 in cash"
Il have nothing to do with you"
replied Rector. my business is with
Stuart. Go to him. -
ut makes no difference whom you
have business with" retorted Julian.
81 tell you, who are representing the
kintescope, that Fitzslmmons will not
enter the ring and permit the COM
pany to photograph his fighting unless
he receives $40, 900 cash and gets it be-
fore he enters the ring"
1t stunned Stuart when Rector told
of it, and made him so mad he was on
the point OF calling everything off. He
hunted up Julian and had a long con-
versation with him. What the out
come was is not known, but it is be-
Iieved that Julian was induced to re-
consider his demands
In card Bat Masterson says that
at least one of the fights arranged
will be pulled off successfully-th
one between Maher and Fitzsimmons
and there is an even chance for one
or more of the smaller fights to be
held. Continuing, Masterson says:
THAT all this commotion has been
stirred up because two men are going
to box with five ounce gloves seems to
me to be utterly ridiculous. When
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of this great country can find
nothing better to do than to make
laws prohibiting boxing contests in
the territories, it is high time some
thing were done:"

TALENTS OF THE JEW.
Famous in Finance, Philosophy, Medi-
cine and Music.

Famous in Finance, Philosophy, Medi-
cine and Music
From the jacksonville Metropolis:
Someone has been at the pains recent
ly to make an analysis of the character
istics of more than 10000 prominent
men of modern times with special ref
erence to the Jewish race. The results
are curious and interesting. They bear
testimony also to the remarkable YER
satility and adaptability of the Jewish
people and their tenacity of purpose,
even under the most adverse conditions.
Although Moses. the greatest of law
g1vers, and Joshua, one of the most
brilliant and successful, were of the
Jewish race, in modern times the Jews
are less distinguished than men of other
creeds generally as statesmen and SOL
dierS. They have no distinction what
ever as agriculturists, engravers, sail
ors and explorers. Their great service
to the world has been accomplished in
the capacity of actors, doctors, finan-
ciers, metaphysicianS, musicians, poets
and philosophers. In all these lines of
human thought and endeavor they have
contributed many illustrious, immortal
names. Astronomical science has no
brighter name upon its roll than Her
schei, the Jew, and mathematics boasts
no greater service than that which it
received at the hands of jacob Gre
mona. In biology also the once despised
Hebrew has made his mark Bernstein,
Remak, Rosenthal and Valentine have
done large service as Psychologists;
Cohnheim, Hirseh, Liebreich, Lombro-
SO and Trouble as Psychologists will, per-
haps, be recognized, while F. Cohn is,
perhaps, the third greatest botanist in
Germany today But it is in the realm
of music that the genius of the Jew has
had it's largest development and accom-
plished the most brilliant and original
results. One has only to think of the
wonderful achievements of such mas
tiers of the art as Mendelssohn, Never
beer and Rubinstein, to say nothing of
Moscheles and Haley, to realize how
poor the world would be had not these
men of the Jewish race lived and
wrought as they did. Surely the mantle
of David, the poet king of Israel and
the great master of sacred song, has
fallen on not one, but many, of his
descendants in these later days.

SMOKY ROW DRUNKs.

The Police Should Clean Out the
Hop Tea and Cider Joints.
Four men were booked at the police
station last night on the charge of drunk
enness. This is an unusual number for
one night. and they all came from the
Smoky Row district.
They said they had drank cider or hop
tea, and it might be good plan for the
police to make an investigation to ascer-
tain just what is being sold at the hop
tea and cider stands.
Two of the men arrested gave their
names as John Morgan and they were
booked as mo 1" and mo. 3" They
pleaded guilty and went to work on the
rock pile without protest. Jack King,
who has the Smoky Row beat, arrested
both the men. The other men were ].
R. Slavin and P. ]. Kelley, who were
arrested by officers Fowkes and Ewing.
Slavin had $45 in his pocket and paid his
fine and Kelley deposited his watch as
proof that he would appear at court this
afternoon

Fellow Jail Prisoner Saw Him In
Colorado.
SAN BERNARDINo, Feb. 11.-If Francis
Schlatter, the divine healer who created
such excitement In Colorado and New
Mexico is not now confined in the county
Jail on charge of vagrancy, there is a
man in Jail who certainly resembles him
most remarkably
"God will help me" said he in response
to an inquiry as to how he felt this morn
ing. He believed himself under
the guidance of the Almighty. A
photograph has been taken of the
prisoner which resemble photographs of
Schlatter. The face is also very much
like the accepted pictures of the Saw
ior's.
A. Grant. confined in Jail. who saw
Schlatter in Colorado, says he recognizes
the prisoner as Schlatter. While confined
here the prisoner has been induced to
write his name, which he gives as Elijah
Lyon, and the handwriting resem bles
the writing in letters of Schlattsr, which
are in the possession of citizens of this
city. He has not been sent out to work
in the chain gang since last Saturday,
and will Eot be sent out again.

EDISON Experimenting.
His Attempt to Photograph a Human

His Attempt to Photograph a Human
Brain Deferred Another Day.
ORANGE, N. J., Feb. 1l.-Thomas A.
Edison, the electrician, was hard at
work all day in his laboratory in West
Orange preparing for his experiment
of photographing the human brain
with the aid of the newly discovered
x ray. With the aid of mercury
pumps he labored assiduously on
crooked tubes of his own manufacture.
He caused the rays to pass through
piece of steel one-half of an inch
thick. He also found that the mys-
terious rays were capable of penetrat-
ing a bit of card board, piece of cell
luloid and half inch strip of steel
combined, leaving the plate uniformly
black. Had the rays not penetrated
the steel the plate would naturally
have been black in the place where the
steel was not interposed. He secured
similar satisfactory results several
times with equal precision. He will
to-day attempt to photograph the hu-
man brain.

Longer Than Usual, But Announces No
Sensational Changes in Policy.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Queens speech
was read in parliament to-day. The
speech is longer than usual, but it
does not announce any sensational de-
parture in policy. 1t opened with ex-
pressing satisfaction that Great Brit
ain is at peace with all the great pow
ers, and in referring to the Transvaal
incident recites the course of events
rather than furnishes an Indication of
the outcome.
There is a guarded allusion to the
Venezuelan question and no specific
announcement in regard to arbitra-
ton. But reference is made to the
prospects of a friendly understanding
with the United States.
Suitable reference is also made to
the deplorable events in Armenia, and
the hope is expressed that reforms
will be carried out.
There is also an allusion to the in
crease in the naval defenses.
