THE DECORATIONS.

Nearly all the public decorations were put in place within three days prior to the carnival. Such good work was. done by the artist in charge that the following official commendation was yesterday given him by the carni- val association;
 'FTo whom it may concern: This is to certify that s. K. Adams was award ed the contract for decorating the city of Phoenix, Arizona, on the occasion of the midwinter carnival held on Feb ruary 19, 20, 21 and p, and that the ability he displayed in his work and the manner in which he conducted his contract has met with the entire sat isfaction of this association.

DAM THE RIO aRANDE.

Despite the weary wait at Fl Paso, the forty or more press correspondents left that point with all good feeling. The evening after the fight they all had banquet. In the course of an address in behalf of the loca, press Juan $. Hart, proprietor of The Times, said the banquet was m effort on the part of Fl Paso to square herself with visiting newspaper men; that under the adverse circumstances that had in- terfered with the programme of the carnival they (the visitors) might feel inclined to d-n Ell Paso. He did not want them to d-n Fl Paso, but would ask their assistance in damming the Rio Grande above Fl Paso. He said that each guest had found on his plate a hard boiled egg encircled with badge on which was presented these words:
 'iAdios ito press correspondents and other distinguished visitors Don't damn El Paso! Dam the Rio Grande above El Paso. Then irrigate. Feb ruary 22, 1S96." MT. Hart stated that the dam project was the egg El Paso was trying to hatch out and she want ed the aid of the great papers of the country.

NATURES FREAKS.

THE water of the oceans, notwith. standing numerous local influences, is nearly of the same composition in every part of the world.
 A WHITE rainbow was seen recently at Westnewton, Aspatria, in Cumber- land, during hard frost. Itlasted for more than half an hour and was much broader than the ordinary rainbow.
 MRS. NEwEL CASE, of Battle Creek, Mich, has new pair of twin babies, born on different days of the week, different months and different years: one just before and one just after the New Year midnight.
 So POWERFUL was the force of water elected from geyser well on the farm of John Sholl, in Bloomington, H., that it threw stream one hundred and twenty-five feet high. A half-inch board held over the stream was cut in two in twenty seconds.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Pugilistic Opportunities
 in England. Purse Offered Corbett and
 Fitzsimmons. Sullivan and Davies Go to Los An-
 Reles-FareweI to Fl PaSo.

LONDON, Feb. 24-Manager Elem ing of the National Sporting club, said that under no circumstances would they subscribe cent for contest in which Corbett was one of the prinei- pals, but it was added that any other American pugilist might apply with fair prospects to arrange a match. The objection to Corbett is based on the bitter tongue flashing he gave the National Sporting club when he re- turned to the United States after his appearance here.
 Secretary Stevens, of the Boiling broke club said they would give a purse of sS.0OO for Fitzsimmons and Corbett to compete for and allow the contestants $70O each for expenses, Should Fitzsimmons fail to accept promptly Frank Slavin stands ready to meet Corbett before the Bolngbroke club Slavin has already offered te meet Fitzsimmons for $5,000 a side in England, or he will bet S5,000 that he can stop Corbett in six rounds.

PLACER MINERS FRIEND J. A. Crosby Interests Carnival Visitors and Home People. His Machine Pronounced Decided Success by Experienced Men
 Thousands of People In-
 spect the Model.

The carnival brought many people to Phoenix and the southwest with all her mining interests was well repre- sented One of the best features of the entire weeks programme was the ex- hibition of the Marshall gold saving machine MT. J. A. Crosby, the local agent, has decided not to place the ma chine on the market until it is thor oughly tested and found to possess every merit that is claimed.
 For years the placer mines have proven unremunerative, owing to the expensive operations necessary to col lect the gold, and many good claims have been abandoned as worthless that owing to this invention of a labor gold saving can be worked with a handsome profit to the mine owner The construction is simple, any ordi- nary mechanic can keep it in order, the cost for milling at the lowest pos sibIe rate for labor and the saving in fine gold unequalled. It has no rival, and is constructed on a different plan and in every way creation inde- pendent of any other gold washer.
 It can be said of this machine also, that it is scientifically constructed and any amalgamator can see that it would be perfect gold saving machine, and especially for fine gold. We under stand that great difficulty is found in trying to save the fine gold and this machine will save every particle with out, or with the use of water.
 Experts on milling or mining recon mend it as being first class in every particular, and it is placed unhesi- tatingly on the market as worthy the notice and can bear the inspection ot any and all mining experts.
 It is complete machine in every part, and for dry and wet washing can be regulated from one to the other without a moments delay.
 For dry washing the sand or dirt is blown in spray against two revolving quicksilvered drums or cylinders, the fine gold being held by the quicksilver on the drums, while the sand and coarse gold falling from the drum into an amalgamating pan containing re- volving screw which mixes the gold into the mercury and discharges the sand and gravel from the pan. Fol wet washing only the lower drum and the amalgamating pan are used. Ar elongated hopper being placed above the drum extending the full length

TIE WEEK OF CARNIVAL How 1t Was Viewed
 Abroad. Disappearance of the Fiesta
 Dress. commendatory Mention by Journals in Other Portions Of the
 West.

The Phoenix carnival is now a thing of the past, and unlike many such af- fairs, it's promoters and attendants find in a survey of the past no cause for regret and much cause for congrat- ulatiOn.
 The arches have already disappeared from Washington street and the pub lie stands are in process of demo- lition, from many of the buildings the fiesta colors have been removed and the merchants have resumsd their or dinary business round.
 Loaded trains have gone over both railway systems during the past few days and for the next two or three days the departures will be many. Yet the hotel keepers report steady tide of arrivals and full houses.
 The soldiers left us Sunday morn ing. Headed by the band the three companies marched down Washington street to Center, thence to the Santa Fe depot, where awaited their train of nine cars. 1.-The Girl I Left Behind iMe" was the march and to it stepped blithely 175 of the sturdiest men who eyer wore the blue. They were in heavy marching order, fifty pounds weight upon the back of each man in knapsack, blankets and section of tent. In advance was Captain Gilbreath, commanding, he and every other gal lant officer alert to return the salute of the townspeople who had lined the streets to give God speed to the con- mand. During their stay the officers made many friends and the conduct of the soldiery was without individual exception of the best.
 Yesterday the finance committee of the carnival association was in deep consultation. The expense assumed by the committee, exceeding $5,O0O, is largely paid up and bills for the bal ance due are rapidly coming to hand There is little apprehension of trouble in making both ends meet.
 Contributors to the carnival funds are more than pleased with the result The celebration caused a stimulation of local trade in nearly every branch more than sufficient to pay all ex- pense and cash is freer at present than for months past. Nearly every con- tributor has paid without demur and expresses a hope for ran even grandel carnival next year.
 For there will be a carnival next year. Even now it's features are be- ing talked of and, with the experience of two celebrations to guide, carniva of wondrous completeness and beauty may be anticipated.

WATER FOR MILLING.

Syd ID. Kempton arrived yesterday from Vulture and will stay several days. He is running a force of about forty men and is pursuing with the most gratifying results a lead of ore in one of the upper levels overlooked by past arrangements. Ten stamps O. the old S0-stamp mill are being run Continuously and the ore is coming out even faster than the batteries can pound it up.
 With the Vulture the trouble always has been lack of water. Yet the for nation of the surrounding country is such that all the water for miles seems to run to the mine. In the shafts now is not less than 150 feet of water and from this are the batteries supplied. After use the water is saved from the shines and again used and with econo- my MT. Kempton believes he has enough water in the mine to last him till summer.
 But he has a scheme to aid him that probably never has before been re- sorted to by any miner on earth. He has so diverted the channels of several water courses, now dry, of the vicinity so that in times of rainfall the water carried will flow into the old and abandoned workings. It is impossible to flood the upper levels and the hold ing ground is hard and secure, un- timbered, so the experiment lacks only water to be success.

Gold in the Ocean.

That gold should existin the ocean is an induction that Dr. Henry Wurtz claims to have presented in 1866, and in 1872 the discovery was announced by E. Sonstadt. A careful computation with the best data obtainable, on the basis of O.9 grain of gold per ton of sea water, about the proportion assigned by Sonstadt, shows that the great ocean should contain gold to the amount of over SSo, coo, GOO, ,o00, GOO, ,00o. The getting of some of this by electrolysis, Dr. Wurtz now predicts, will be one of the prob lens of the future.

GOOD IMPRESSION ABROAD.
Returning Excursionists Speak Highly
 of Phoenix and Carnival.

The carnival has brought out vast quantity of advertising matter for Phoenix and the Salt River valley. There is no doubt that the visitors al- most without exception were pleased and their pleasure has been expressed most eloquently through the columns of their home newspapers.
 The Los Angeles Merchants asso- citation excursionists were especially enthusiastic in praise of their recep- tion at the capital Of Arizona. They were met on their return to Los An geles by great assemblage of citizens, who escorted them to the chamber of commerce rooms, where report was made of the trip and full assurance given that the greatest of good had in- ured to Los Angeles interests in Phoe- nix by reason thereof Due mention was made of the stop at Prescott on the return. They were driven around ,the city, dined and oratorically vel comed in the best of feeling, by Mayor Goldwater and others and were given ample opportunity to see the beauty of the metropolis of northern Arizona
 The following resolution on the sub ject was passed by the Los Angeles delegates prior to their departure from Prescott:
 ''The Los Angeles delegation desires to extend to the citizens of Prescott their sincere thanks for the more than cordial reception they have received at their hands. The visit to Prescott has been one of the pleasant features of the trip, and the Los Angeles visit ors will always recollect it with pleas ure. They invite all Prescott to visit them during the fiesta that they may have a chance to return the kindness and show their appreciation of the po- liteness they have received here"
 In his description of the carnival scenes, Editor J. F. Carrere of the Los Angeles Express drew the following graphic picture of a street scene dur ing the celebration:
 ''It was very picturesque and cos mopolitan scene. There were soldiers from Fort Whipple, wearing the new regulation army cap, made on the plan of the cap worn in the German army There were cowboys galore in big

thereof and being provided with agi- tators for producing uniform feed. The material with the water is then thrown into the hopper from which it falls onto an inclined apron and from the apron being evenly distributed over the top of the drum where the fine gold is held while the coarse gold and other material falls into the amalga- mating pan containing the screw, which mixes the gold into mercury and discharges the sand and gravel from the pan.
 Surely any man who understands the operation of gold can see the sim pie operation necessary and can at once see the great economy in pro- ducing and saving the precious metal The prices for the Marshall gold saver have no equal and any one wishing to work claim can afford to lay out the amount in experimenting, let alone buying such little creation of wealth that he can run himself at a trif1ing cost.
 For dry and wet washing the prices run: Five ton, $25O; ten ton, $375; twenty ton, s55O. For dry washing alone, five ton, s20O; ten ton, $500; twenty ton, S450.
 The local office will be established at Phoenix at No. South Second avenue in the H. HI. Travis mining and assay office. where MT. Crosby will be pleased to show the gold saver to any and all who call on him. All letters of inquiry will be promptly replied, to giving full answer and other information re- quested.

THE PUGIIlISTS GONE.
Sullivan and His Party Move On to
 Los Angeles.


 'Parson" Davies yesterday morning joined the party of John L. Sullivan. all leaving on the evening train for Los Angeles. During the day they "took in" the city and environs, Sul- liyan tersely saying Its the best look ing town I've seen on my travels this year., During the day Davies called upon the governor and the two, each typical of interests most emphatically at variance, pleasantly chatted for an hour on pugilism and it's relation to correct social ethics
 Davies saw the fight at Langtry and he and the 'fbig fellow" were especially interested in discussion of the exact science by which Fitz made his knock cut. Davies has new theory as to how the deed was done, but is careful ly saving it up for 8 newspaper scoop in the near future.

CORBETT IS AGREEABLE.
He Is Desirous of Returning to Active
 Pugilism.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 24.-James Cor bett was shown the Associated Press dispatch from London stating that the Bolingbroke club would give purse of sS,0OO and $7O0 for expenses to each for match between himself and Fitz- simmons. Corbett said: 'The Asso- ciated Press may state that if the Bolingbrole club will forward articles of agreement to me Il will sign them without delay. As to the bluff made by that second-rater, Slavin, who has (been defeated about fifty times, I shall pay no attention to him. Fitzsin- mons will never meet me. sHe is sim ply bluffing for the sake of the little, advertising he expects to get out of it'
