IMPROVED PLACER MINING.
A Large Boat Equipped With Ma
chineTY.

chineTy.
The Butte Miner of recent date con-
tains an account of an improved meth
cd of placer mining which is almost a
counterpart of the plant installed IN
the Prairie Basin country, ldano, last
fall by John Beck and several other
Salt Lakers. The Miner saws;
James 3. Drake. who recently re-
turned for a trip to Grasshopper
Creek, was in the city YESTERDAY. he
states that the dredging company at
that place took out over $4,000 in gold
last summer from the bed OF the
stream The dredge company to oper-
ate at Alder Gulch this summer ex-
poets wonderful things with the new
appliances.
4 novel method of mining for placer
gold is being inaugurated by Captain
Henry Firch of Spokane. Last year ne
built at Wenatchee a stern-wheei
steamer, which was fitted uD with all
the appliances for hydraulic mining
The boat is 100 feet over all and 20 feet
width of beam. The pumps are capable
of handling $50 cubic yards of gravel
an hour. These pumps are operated
on an eight-inch hose, and the gravel IS
pumped from the bed of the river
This hose can take up boulder SIX
and a half inches in size from depth
of 30 feet to a height OF over ~ feet
above the water level. All of the ma
terial passes through a grizzly and the
larger rock thrown back, and that
which passes through the grizzly is
treated much as in ordinary sluice-box
mining. The principle, however, is not
a new one, but the method of prospect
ing the bed of the river is decidedly
novel Captain Finch is an experienced
diver and he dons his suit and pros
poets the bed of any stream in this
manner which is of course great ad-
vantage in searching for gold. Cap
tain Finch prospected the Similkameen
with a diving suit two years ago. The
company represented by him has taken
up 20 claims.
The history of the boat and the TAX
ing il uD the Similkameen is interest
ing The boat was commenced at We
natchee in the winter of 1856 and
completed last June. 1t was then taken
up the Columbia to the Okanogan,
then steamed 10 Orc, a distance of
about 80 miles. and from thence sew
eral miles UP the Similkameen, where
il is now located and will be operated
this summer Much of the ground
which Captain Finch prospected was
largely mined nearly 40 years ago, dur
ing the early placer excitement, but
the use of the crude appliances of those
davs did not save all of the gold in
fact. none was taken from the bed of
the stream, which will be thoroughly
Investigated. Captain Finch feels sure
from his Investigations two years ago
that the venture will prove a paying
one

Chicago Live Stock.

Union Stock Yards, ILL.,, Feb. 22-The
week opened with receipts of about
600 head of cattle against 1889 last
Monday and 1856 on the correspond
ing Monday a year ago. This was not
a heavy supply for the first business
day of the week and, after the moder-
ate receipts of last week there was a
very good demand. Prices were gen
orally steady and the comparatively
small number of well-matured cattle
sold readily at strong quotations.
Hogs-About $4,000 hogs were re-
ceived here today against 1897 last
Monday, So, 1923 the corresponding Mon
day in 1896 and 43,S63 in 1895. The mar
ket was weak and a shade lower than
Saturday, but an active demand from
both Chicago packers and eastern
shippers soon firmed up prices and the
days sales averaged the same figures
as were paid at the close of last week.
Old hogs have been well marketed and
present receipts are mostly last
springs pigs. The best hogs sell so
cents lower than a year ago. 20 cents
lower than two years ago, S1.65 lower
than three years ago and $3.50 lower
than four years ago.
Sheep.-The better prices realized
last week for choice sheep and lambs
had the effect of encouraging country
shippers to market their stock, and
there was a run of about 10000 head
today as compared with 1914 last
Monday and 1866 on the corresponding
day a year ago. There was a fairly
good demand, but the liberal supply
caused a weaker feeling and prices
were about 10 cents per 100 pounds
lower.

U. OF U. CRESCENTS WIN
DEFEAT THE TRIANGLES BY a
SCORE OF SIX TO NOTHING.
The Game Was Played at Park City
on Ground Knee-Deep With Snow,
Which Made Good Work Impos-
sible.

Park City, Feb. 22.-The University
of Utah Crescents of Salt Lake de-
feated the Triangles of Park City at
a game of football this afternoon by
a score of to 0. The players were
greatly hampered by the snow. which
was knee deep. No one was hurt in
the game. A large crowd stood in the
snow and watched the contest with
interest
The Triangles won the toss-up, but
the Crescents carried the ball steadily
through till they made a touchdown.
The Parkites got the ball back several
times, gaining in the center, but losing
in end plays. One of the prettiest in
cidents of the game was when O'Brien
of the Crescents kicked the goal after
the first touchdown. The end of the
first half gave the CrescentS 6 and the
Triangles zero.
In the second half Crescents
kicked off the ball and = len pic ed
it up and breaking thIo.sh the ri
angles line, carried it within % W Is
of the goal. Stevens of the Triangles
made a good run of seven or eigh-
yards, but the snow handicapped him
and he could not break through the
Crescents' line.
The Salt Lakers got the ball and
placed it to the ten-yard line, when
they began to lose. The Parkites
gained steadily, and by wedges and
end plays carried it along, but failed
to reach the goal when time was
called.
The Triangle boys played much bet
ter in the second half and hammered
well in the center. The lineup was

country as a result of an increase in
the tariff on the raw materials.
Judge w. A. Sherman of the Sun
shine mine had not looked into the
matter to any great extent, but he was
of the opinion that with a higher
tariff prices would not be much af-
fected, and that if they were it would
be only temporary, as it was his under
standing that there was an abundance
of raw material in the United States
such as is used in the manufacture OF
cyanide and that with the establish
ment of rival factories in this country
the cost of this commodity would re-
main at about the same as it is now,
which is q cents, f. o. b, New York,
while IT costs 81 cents laid down at
Fairfield, which is quite reduction in

THE TRADE DOLLAR MINE.
Fine Showing in This Idaho Pro-
Queer.

James Hutchinson, manager of the
Trade Dollar Mining company of Sill
yer City, Ida, is in the city, says the
Denver Republican. Mr.. Hutchinson
is a pioneer Gilpin county miner and
one of the best known mining men in
the state He has been managing
the Trade Dollar for about three years
and has been extremely successful,
having developed one of the best pay
ing mines in the United States. He
has recently recovered from a severe
fit of illness, the result of lead poison
ing contracted at Leadville 16 years
ago, and is in Denver for the purpose
of recuperating and visiting his family
and at the same time looking after
some ore shipments that will be in
the city today.
Dollar" said he, and / could give you
figures of production that would make
you open your eyes. We have 10
claims developed by a tunnel 1900 feet
long. which cut the ore body at a
depth of 1000 feet from the surface
Another tunnel was started on the
other side of the mountain by other
parties and we found that there were
only seven feet difference in level be-
tween us, and therefore we brought
the two together and now we have
tunnel over two miles long through
the mountain. We have done no sink
ing below the tunnel level, all of our
ore being taken from the overhead
slopes and we have enough virgin
overhead to last a long time.
We have a concentrating mill in
operation which handles the greater
part of the ore, the only crude ore that
we ship being the very high grade.
The values are almost entirely in the
sulphides, and we run the ore from
the shines in settling watts and after
ward into amalgamating pans. The
ore is concentrated from so to so into
one, the average value of the concen-
trates being $4,000. They are shipped
to Denver Our savings, by fire and
amalgamation, average more than 50
per cent of the assay value of the ore,
worth about $4,000 per car. so you can
see that we have pretty considerable
of a mine.
4 am looking for two cars today
which viii net US not less than S75,000-
one car of concentrates and one of
crude ore that will probably yield
nearly 100000. This is the second car
of rich ore that we have shipped, the
other yielding about S55,000.
THE district about Silver City is
one of the best in the country. 1t has
four or five mines beside the we'll
known De Lamar property, which, if
they were located in Colorado, would
create a sensation. We would have
railroads built to them and the hills
would be filed with prospectors. All
of them are producing heavily and
paying handsome dividends to the
owners, and yet they are hardly ever
heard of. Our property belongs only
to four or five men who live in Pitts
burg and enjoy good income without
any trouble to themselves. / am IA
miliar with the mining sections of
Colorado, and / assure you that have

satisfactory than the Trade Dollar and
the other mines in the vicinity of Sill
Yes, 1 suppose there is some talk
ABOUT selling the Trade Dollar. but
among the owners, so far as L know,
there has been no idea of selling

duction of the property if 1 had the

days and will then make trip to

New York, Now. 23.-The condition pf
lethargy into which the speculation on the
stock exchange has drfted was unbroken
today, save by movements in special stocks

existing state OF things and at the present
tirac 1t is the approaching meeting #

nation.
The Importance of the questions to be
acted upon II the assembling Of Congress

speculative apathy, us these questiors
comprise not only the matters classed under
the general head OF the Cuban question,
bat also the proposed legislation upon
the currency, and possibly an act 20

ernment.
Today's actual news comprised moth.
ing to affect sentiment to d marked de-
gree. No important statements of rail
way earnings We're published, though the
usual forecasts of the showing to be made
by the st. Paul company for the third Week
of November lent interest in the dealings
in that stock. The day was ather unintrr-
esting as to the stock market
The extraordinary fluctuations IN Con-

Gus feature OF the deallngsand they We're as
