mine correctly ought to go through 1t al
most alone. If he does not and picks his
samples from the places suggested he viii
be apt to strike only the richest parts of
the vein and he may get ore that is sailed.
An average mine may be sailed with rich
pieces of rock here and there and the re-
suit of the assay will make it look far rich
er than 1t is. A good expert takes his sam
Piles from a number of places. He uses
good sized chunks as well small bits,
and he takes them from all parts Of the
hole. Sailing is often done by means of
scattering gold dust on the rock of the vein
or on the loose dirt of a placer and there
have been cases in which chloride of gold
has been used. Any expert. however. can
tell that the existence of chloride of gold
IS fraud. as such gold does not occur free
in nature and you never find 1t in a mine
in this shape.
Sometimes samples are sailed after they
are taken from the mines, and the man
who is judging a mine has TO keep his eyes
open from the time he gets the rock to the
time he has made his assay.
You hear of all kinds of curious swindles
here. pipe full of ashes containing gold
dust may be dropped into sample of pow
dered rock ready for assaying. and the as
sayer may be in conjunction with the miner
to sell the mine. Such instance may be
easily prevented, however, by a government
assay. In placer mining gold dust may be
dropped into the gravel almost under the
eyes of the capitalists and they will not see
it. Sometimes enormous amounts of dust
are used. Arthur Lakes, of the State School
of Mines, in his book, which was published
last year, entitled prospecting for Gold
ard Silver" cites an instance where some
mining sharks spent $4,000 for gold dust
and with it sailed a placer mine. They put
up a hydraulic plant and prepared to work
the mines by means of quicksilver. They
brought the capitalists to the spot just at
the time when they put the dirt containing
the $4,000 worth of gold dust into the MILL
and the result was that they sold their mine
for 1000 in cash. AS soon as they got
the money they left the country, and it
was some weeks before the capitalists
found that they were fooled

CURIOUS AMBULANCE SERVICE.
English Salvationists VIII Transport
Drunkards in Wagons.
London Mail.


The ambulance cure for the liquor habit is
the latest. 1t is an idea of the Salvation
Army and is to be put into practice in Lon
don as soon as the details can be arranged
The details are ambulances. white horses
and Salvation lassies. On Aug 20 an i'm
portant meeting of the army's chief officers
is to be held Then ways and means will
be discussed But already the ambulance
cure is formulated in the minds of its orig
inatorS.
The ambulances are to patrol by night
those portions of the city which yield the
largest crop of street ''drunkards' They
are to be painted red and white. One girl
is to drive and two others are to keep a
sharp lookout for drunken men and women.
If man is seen sleeping in a doorway or
lacking helplessly up the walk or other
wise betraying his inability to take care of
himself he or she is to be seized put aboard
the ambulance and taken to a Salvation
Army shelter to get sober.
1t may be urged that this species of
capture smacks of KIDNAPPING The saliva
tionists have weighed this objection and
found 1T OF small account. The ambulance

BROKE A TwENTY-DoLLAR BILL.
SOund-MOney Conductor Played
Very Deliberate Joke.
Providence Journal

providence Journal.
There is no rule of the Union Railroad
Company compelling conductors to carry
any specified amount of bills and change
the men ns1aR have bou f or So
that they may be prepared for stray $40
bills when they are presented for a scent
fare. The average passenger seldom hands
out and bill larger than g. and man
usually gives the conductor a nickel or the
smallest silver change he has. A woman
gives him pennies if she has five in her
pocket, and some conductors maintain that
the women save their pennies for weeks at
time in order to load the pockets of the
conductor with them. Buy there is one
woman who will probably never again give
conductor a large bill to change.
1t happened on a Cranston-street car one
day in the latter part of last week. The
conductor made his rounds and captured
until he came to one woman, who, after
searching through her pocketbook, pro-
duced $40 bill, which she handed to him
with a glance which should have frozen
his soul and prevented remonstrance. 1t
failed the conductor was patient and long
suffering. but he rebelled against taking
scent fare from a $40 bill
rs this the smallest you have, lady?'
He thought moment and a bright idea
penetrated his brain like an Y ray.
IN give you your change in a moment -
he assured the passenger and then stopped
the car just as it reached Hoyle Square,
where tn. High-street Bank is located.
Hurrying into the bank. he laid down the
bill and asked fer change
Give me nineteen silver dollars and
twenty nickels, please he said and after
the teller had been told the occasion for
haste he gladly furnished the necessary
change. The conductor carried the change
in both hands out to where the woman who
wanted the bill changed sat in the car and
poured it IN her lap after taking out the
nickel for the fare. The other passengers
snickered, the receiver of all the silver
grew red in the face and indignant and
the motorman started the car with a jerk
The passenger demonstrated, but she had
her change. the conductor had his revenge
and the crowd had satisfaction and the
majority against her was Is to l.

Of raising II is by a tariff; and there is no

Topeka, Kas., Sept. S.-(Special) Gov

who had made some headway on a five
years penal term. and Newton McClannis,
who is serving time in the johnson county
jail for petit larceny. Davis pleaded guilty
of grand larceny in 1888 in the Butler
county district court. Three boys had been
persuaded by an ex-convict to attempt the
robbery of drug store, and the entire
bunch was arrested. One escaped by turn
ing states evidence, but the other two re-
ceived five years each. AS Davis guilt is
thoroughly established, his pardon was re-
quested rather In mercy than in Justice
He is dying of consumption ana will live
but a few months, whether retained at the
prison or permitted to return to his people.
The fact that his mother is the widow OF a
Union soldier served as an additional argu-
ment for granting the pardon.
McClanniS stole about $3.50 worth Of
goods early this year. and was given one
year in the johnson county Jail for petit
larceny. This term he commenced to serve
in January. The condition of his family
served as the best argument for a pardon.
A wife and several small children are de-
pendent upon McClannis and would become
public charges but for his release. y n
