Mr.. Macarthur, the inventor of the
cyanide process for the extraction of
gold, has been giving his views with re-
spect to the future supply Of that met
al. He points out that true mining for
gold only commenced about the year
1860, and that up to tnat time we had
only been gathering up the detritus, as
it were, alluvial deposits being merely
what had tumbled down from the reefs.
Now we are going to the sources and
attacking the auriferous rocks Of the
extent of which we know very little,
while of the depth to which they may
descend beneath the earth's surface we
know still less. They have been traced
for 5000 feet downward, and geology
oonfesses its ignorance OF what may
lie below. "There seems no limit"
observes Mr.. Macarthur, "to possible
discoveries" Some years ago the pro-
portion Of the precious metal obtained
from alluvial workings was as four to
one compared to what was won from
it's rocky matrix. Now these figures
are reversed. In Russia, including ST.
IBERIA, the west coast of Africa, British,
Dutch and French Guiana, some OF the
South American States and Borneo,
the alluvial output is overwhelmingly
greater than that from reefs, which Is
only thing of yesterday. How great
an increase in the yield may be ex-
pected to take place, therefore, In all
these countries when the steam engine
and machinery for crushing are
brought to bear upon the reefs, OF
which the alluvial gold is the debris.
"Gold mining" concludes Mr.. McAr-
thur, sis just beginning to take the
place that copper or lead mining has
occupied for centuries. One has no
more reason to doubt the continuance
of gold reefs than one has to doubt the
continuance of other metaliferous
mines. No one can say what quantities
of gold may be concealed in the more
central parts of the earth, nor what i'm
proved means science may find for ex-
tracing it from great depths" A be-
lief prevails in some scientific quarters |
that at certain depth gold exists IN |
vast masses as virgin ore, and may
be hewn out like coal.

New Love Cure.

Love takes effect on men in as many
different ways as 40 rod whiskey does
on the sagebrush shepherds. This is
because men are differently constituted
in the upper story-some having room
for "rats in their garret," while others
haven't.
Some men when disappointed in
love affair will shoot the girl and then
commit suicide; others take to hard
drink and terminate their dissipated
career by giving snake show or going
broke and getting "vagged," while 9TH
ers overlook the deceitful damsel like
white check and marry some other fell
lows girl for spite.
1t was different with Geo. Hansen, a
former resident of Vale, late of Pearl,
Idaho. 1t is reported that he was at
the very threshold of matrimony when
his fair fl ance, beautiful Pearl girl, in
the fickleness of her coquettish nature,
stuffed his affections like dog would
flea, and left George with marriage
license and a new suit of conventional
black.
Did George rustic for six-gun, or
guzzle coffin varnishY No; not he. He
kept his eye on the eastern star, bent
his weary footsteps toward Boise, and
Joined the Salvation Army, where the
cymbal and song he will drive away the
hallucinations of loves young dream,
while acting in the capacity of one of
Gods little gunboats, he will lombard
the devil in his stronghold at Idaho's
metropolis. Advocate.

Mining Items.

William Slattery and G. D. Bachelor
have returned from their visit to the
Queen River country in Nevada. Mr..
Slattery is very much pleased with the
property on the head of King River in
which he is interested with Jack Brady.
He says they have three foot ledge Of
ore of which he brought home sample.
1t is fine looking quartz, showing gold,
and a very fair milling proposition.
Slattery says they have water close at
hand, sufficient to run a small mill six
months in the year, and abundant
water power only three miles distant.
There is plenty of timber for the mine,
although not of the best character.
The country rock is granite, and the
walls of the ledge are smooth and we'll
defined. Altogether he believes that
district will prove good poor mans
country and that many small rich
veins will be opened.
Mr.. Bachelors trip was made there
examine some placer properties. He
was much pleased with them and has
made an arrangement to lease the
ground from the owner.
The gentlemen bring back the news
that the Dinneo brothers have sold
their interest in the Disaster Peak
mine to California parties for $4,000
cash. Messrs. Cowden and Deekins
declined to sell their interest at the
same figure.
Jack Brady and John F. Slattery
have been working for q grub-stake by
contracting to put up the hay on the
Sisson ranch. They stacked about
140O tons.
Tuscarora, Nevada, Is once more in
the swim as mining camp. The Dex-
ter niue people are putting up big
plant and have developed big mine.
We are glad to see our old neighbor
again coming to the front.
News comes down here from War
Eagle, that the Cumberland mine de-
velopments are proving that to be
what the NUGGET has always pro-
nounced it-a very rich property.

The finest State Fair grounds in the
United States are in st. Louis. For
forty years Fair has been held there
every October. The people in that
great city have learned to look upon
this annual event as of more import
ance to the city than anything occur
ring during the other months in the
year. Besides the Fair held for one
week, the citizens have constructed a
splendid exposition building and hold
a great six weeks show in it every year.
Ask any business man of st. Louis if
he thinks the enormous amount they
have expended upon Fair grounds and
Exposition buildings and for the an
nual entertainment has paid, and you
will get prompt answer that it has.
He will tell you that it has advertised
the city and brought business and cap
ital enough there to repay the expen-.
ditures many times over.
Boise City will hold her initial Fair
next week. Boise is not as big now as
st. Louis was forty years ago, but it
has more real attractions than the
Missouri city has to-day, and if the
people in Boise will make this initial
Fair success, and then determine to
make it permanent institution, there
will be almost no limit in what it may
accomplish for Boises future. Boise
is the business center of great terri
tory whose undeveloped resources are
more wonderful than any similar scope
of territory one can name in the east
ern states. The city is one of great
natural attractiveness and promise of
growth and prosperity, which few
places can boast. If the business men
there can fully realize the influence a
great Fair held there every year can
have on its future, they will keep up
the Fair now 80 auspiciously begun.

In 1852 the congress of the United
States, presumably in the interests OF
the people, passed an act to encourage
the building of a continuous line of
railroad from the Missouri river to tide
water in California, To aid in con-
struction of the road the government
granted to the railroad companies al
ternate sections of the public domain
for twenty miles on each side of the
road. In addition, the government
guaranteed the payment of principal
and interest of bonds to the amount of
$4,000 per mile in the mountains, $780,
600 per mile in the foothills and S16,-
900 per mile in the valleys. In 1894
the government relinquished a first
mortgage it held as securities for the
payment of bonds and interest and took
a second mortgage on the roads. The
greater part of the bonds are due and
the government, which paid the inter-
est on the bonds annually, redeems the
bonds as they mature. An effort on
the part of the companies to get con-
gress to refund the Indebtedness of the
companies to the government has met
with determined opposition from the
people and the Union Pacific has been
making terms with the government for
the purchase of the public lien on the
road. The company owes the govern
ment S53,0O0OO0, principal and interest,
paid out of the public treasury to the
bondholders. In addition to this the
company owes about $50, 100000 on first
mortgage bonds, making the entire
debt about SS6,OO000O 1t proposes to
pay the government s28,000,G00 for the
S53, 100000 claim and then capitalize the
road for 9236, 100000 and issue stock for
that amount. 1t is reported at Wash
ington that President Mckinley and
Attorney General McKenna have con-
sented to accept the offer of S2S,000000
made by the Union Pacific for the $685.
100000 which it owes the government.
1t seems that the time has come when
the government is so completely under
the control of corporate power that the
Administration does not hesitate to
give S25,000,000 of the peoples money
to corporation without so much as
saying by your leave. The property of
the Union Pacific is valued by the Re-
organization Committee of the COM
pany at s236,O00,000, yet it is expected
that the government will dispose of its
lien on the property for 525,OO0,00O less
than the actual cash which it paid for
interest on and redemption of bonds
for the payment of which the govern
was security. To this complexion has
it come at last that trusts and syndi-
Gates, by electing their henchmen to Of
fee, control the various departments
of the government and conduct public
affairs to suit themselves and for their
profit, wholly ignoring the interests of
the people.-Reno Journal.

RESIGNATION.

DIED-At DeLamar, Idaho, October
., 1897, Ruth, infant daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. E. V. Oxford, aged months
and % days.
There is no flock, however watched
and tended,
But one dead lamb is therel
There is no freside, howsoe'er de-
Tended,
But has one vacant cbairl
The air is full of farewells to the
dying,
And mournings for the dead;
The heart of Rachel for her children
crying,
Will not be comforted!
Let us be patientl These severe af-
hictions
Not from the ground arise,
But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.
We see but dimly through the mists
and vapors;
Amid these earthly damps
What seem to us but sad, funereal
tapers
May be heavens distant lamps.
There is no deathl What seems so
is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portals we call death.
Day after day we think what she is
doing
In those bright realms Of air;
Year after year, her tender steps
persuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Not as child shall we again behold
her;
For when with raptures wild.
In our embraces we again enfold her,
She will not be child;
But a fair maiden in her Fathers
mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the souls ex
pansion,
Shall we behold her face.

TWO ODD OCCUPATIONS.
Queer Methods by Which Some
Women Earn Livelihood.

When necessity compels woman is a mar
velous inventor. Some Of those who are sud
denly left to- shift for themselves resort to
queer methods to earn livelihood. For some
time a number of women in New York have
been doing professional mending. Expert
ness with the needle Is the only preparation
necessary fer the business. The members
are missionaries in a way, for they seek out
bachelors at their boarding houses, apart
ments and hotels, and make a contract to
keep buttons on coats, vests and trousers, to
darn hosiery and to close up rents in cloth
ing The price charged for such service
varies according to the size of mans ward
robe. This scheme of a perambuating re-
pair shop appeals to the average man, for it
means money in his pocket. Tailors charge
good round sums for odd jobs, and a woman
fixes up many things that a tailor would not
touch 1t is easier too to have woman drop
in while a is away at business and rid
him of all the worry about the condition of
his clothes.
A Philadelphia woman has hit on novel
plan of converting muscle into cash. When
her husband, laboring man, died, leaving
her with four small children, with healthy
appetites, she decided to become a profess
sional cleaner of kitchen floors. She has
worked her speciality to advantage and is so
efficient that her regular customers would
as soon think of allowing a. plumber to tune
a grand piano as to permit anyone else to
touch their kitchen floors. Many kitchen
floors nowadays are made OF hard wood or
tiles or are covered with oilcloth or linoleu(.
An expert can clean them with great ra I'd
ity as this woman has proved. She makes
the average floor neat wax in half an
hour, and charges only % cents for doing 50.
She carries her own tools, soap and cloths
for getting the dirt off and putting the shine
on and leaves things spick and span behind
her. For each customer she has a certain
half hour on a certain day. She is an exact
woman, and, knowing this. her customers
have the kitchen ready for her. She earns
from So to 81 a day, and says she likes the
work better than standing behind a counter.

THE TREND IN GERMANY.

In the confusion of the news and
of the public sentiment of Germany is
not always apparent, but just at pres
ent the tide seems to be strongly
against the One-man bossism which to
Emperor William is the ideal of gov
eminent. The recent structures of an
eX-judge upon the meddlesome spirit
displayed by his majesty show that
discomfort is spreading to the office
holding class, if not to the officials
themselves. While the mere writing of
a book, no matter how severe or in
dependent it's language, will not &C
complish much in the way of reform,
even so much spirit is significant If
there is any country of Europe, aside
from Russia, where the theory of the
divine right of kings may be regarded
as firmly established, that country is
Germany. That the kaiser is the sub
ject of free and scathing criticism
shows that the despotic idea is not
holding it's ground
In theory the people of Germany
do not seem to object greatly to des-
potism. They look on complacently
while the young war lord goes through
the forms of an absolute rule. So long
as he confines his efforts to court func-
lions, military reviews and bombastic
declarations, the general result seems
to amuse the people. Only the fact
that they object when he attempts to
make the sphere of his activities uni
versal in the empire proves that they
are in touch with the progressiveness
of the modern spirit Of Europe. While
progress in Germany is not so apparent
as in other nations, where the sword
and rife are not so dominant factors,
occasional incidents prove that the no.
ton of political freedom is gaining
ground. With every strain to which
it is subjected it is probable that the
divinity which hedges William loses
some of it's power to save his throne
from attack
This development of the democratic
spirit IN Germany is IN accord with It's
growth in other nations. To the forms
of monarchy there seems to be no
radical objection on the part of the
great mass of the people. While roy
atty contents itself with empty honors,
the people on their part respond with
loyalty. 1t is very doubtful if the pop
ularity of Victoria would save her if
she directly opposed the will of the
English commons, and all indications
are that sooner or later the same thing
will be true of the position of the Ger
man emperor. One of the princes of
the house of Wales is said to have adj
vised his younger brother to stop his
noise and go over in the corner and
sing God save your grandmother" 1t
is not unlikely that another generation
will see the rulers of Europe with some
such occupation as their established
and permanent employment.

PUMP SAVED HIM.

to the city hospital in the central pa

cause of the attempted suicide.
Frost is part proprietor of a saloon

says, had been having trouble for the
last two weeks and when she did not

knocked at the door, Mrs Frost says
her husband broke in a window, and
began to abuse her for her delay.
She says after sheflef him he threat

Mrs. Frost retired and says her hus-
band locked himself in the kitchen.
Shortly before taking the poison Frost
went to his iwife's bedside, and she

same time showing a small bottle,
which he raised to his lips and drained.
Frost then went back into the kitchen
and when his wife hurried after him
a minute later, he was lying uncon-

escaped him and he lay as though

was considerable formality about the
matter, the presentation being made
in the blue parlor. Secretary Sher-

President Mckinley made a formal
response, expressing his interest in the
work of the bureau, and the hope
that the publication would lead to
closer commercial relations between
