sEC'Y. ALGER FRUSTRATED.
His Trip to Somerset, Pa., Was Too
 Much for Him.

Secretary Alger is confined to h1s residence in this city today with a severe attack of dysentery, which has made him so weak that he is not able to leave his bed Under skilled medical attention and absolute rest he became somewhat stronger during the afternoon and was able to keep an engagement to see one of the war department bureau chiefs at his res idence on matter of business requir- ing immediate action. The secre- tary's prostration was superinduced by the excessive heat during his hur- ried trip to Somerset, Pa. He trav- eled all night Thursday and was with the president u til o'clock yester- day afternoon, at which time he again took the train and was on the road until nearly 12 o'clock last night. In his weakened condition the strain was too much for him, and the conse- quence was that he was unable to rise this morning.
 His physician counseled absolute rest and abstention from official wor- ry. The usual remedies were admin istered. As a result the secretary was said to be much improved this afternoon, with every prospect of be- ing able to attend the meeting of the cabinet called for next Tuesday. On his trip to see the president he was accompanied by MT. Victor Mason, his confidential clerk, and Brig. Gen. Ruggles. Star.

RICH STRIKE IN UTAH.
Good Find in the Lasal Mountains
 Across the Line.

Grand Junction, Colo, Sept. IT, Considerable excitement has been caused in this city recently by reports of rich strikes in the Lasal noun tains by Montrose parties who have been developing properties in that section of Utah for several months with most gratifying results. o. D. Loutzenhiezer. prominent citizen of Montrose county, and heavily inter ested in a group of mines in the east spur of the Lasal mountains, was here yesterday with two tons of ore taken from one of the mines now being worked. The ore runs nearly $65 in gold and over 25 per cent copper. The business men of this city held a meet ing here tonight to formulate plans to help build wagon road from Moab, Utah, to Little Castle valley on the Grand river. The construction of this road is assured as the commis- sioners of Grand county Utah, have granted a franchise for operating it to a MT. White, who is now in this city consulting with the merchants on the matter. Once the road is built new territory will be opened up for Grand Junction merchants.

THE WIEDMArN MACHINE.
Apparently a Simple Process fol
 Saving Fine Gold

A new device in the Wiedrnan ma chine for saving gold was placed on exhibition at the mining bureau in Denver yesterday. The machine and process employed by this inventor consists of bowl containing quick silver and cylindrical hopper with the outlet below the surface of the quicksilver, the hopper being arTang- ed to stand upright in the bowl con- taining the quicksilver. As the fine ore comes from the pulverizer, mixed with the proper amount of water, it Is fed into the hopper and forced out of the cylinder, passing through a mercury bath, which takes up the gold by amalgamation. The anal gam used to free the gold from the ore is fed in at the top by an automatic time device.
 It is claimed that the machine will save 95 per cent of the value of ores.

EASY TO GET GOOD ROADS.
Keep the Road Bed Dry and Use Wide
 Tired Wagon Wheels

A good road convention was held at Cannon Falals recently which was notable for the practical manner in which the subject under considera- tion was handled, says the Minneapo- lis Tribune. No city speakers were imported to enlighten the farmers upon the theory of road building and to suggest legislation looking to fu- ture large expenditures for costly roadWays, but the neighbors assem- bled proceeded to show how the roads could be greatly improved with the means already available. The main point brought out was the necessity of thorough surface draining by eff fective ditching. The road bed must be rounded so that the water will run off readily, but the best material for surfacing depends upon the locality and the character of the soil. If the road surface can be kept dry, any lo- cality may have good roads at con- paratiyely small cost all the year round.
 Incidentally the subject of wide versus narrow tires was taken up, and David Valentine, a practical road builder stated that he had used both wide and marrow tired wheels, and his experience was such that if he were to purchase a new wagon he would not take a marrow wheeled ve- hicle if he could get it at half price. as he could haul double the load with the same expenditure of power on a wide tire. Where the roads are dry and hard there can be no doubt of the superior economy of a wide tire, not only in the matter of hauling the load, but in preserving the roadway.

If the process is what it claims to be Klondyke will not cut much figure after it commences to operate in this section-Courier.
 A Hassayampa chlorider yesterday sold 2,200 pounds of gold ore, for for which he was paid at the rate of S340 per ton. He requested the Cour- fer not to mention his name, as he is satisfied to continue mining the ore himself and does not want to be 'sbotthered by a horde of hungry ex- perts. Courier
