AT THE wINNAMUcK MINE.
Fine New Boiler Being Installed on

The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company cancelled its traffic agree
ment with the Union Pacific on Sat
urday last. an action that was fore
told by The Herald in the early part
of last week. Other moves have been
made by eastern lines which cannot be
made public at this time. These move
ments are all directly against the
Union Pacific.
Information covering strategic oper-
atoms on the part of the Union Pa
cific continue to be handed in TO the
o. S. L. headquarters at this point and
have been met by a check at every
point. Traffic Manager Eccles is in
possession of some rather remarkable
evidences of Union Pacific late orders
cancelling business that in no wise af-
fects the o. 5. L.. but rather Injuries
the line issuing the instructions.
The fast freight service which has
been instituted by the Union Pacific
between Chicago and San Francisco is
not regarded as menace by any of the
rival lines leading to the coast. 1t is
asserted by railway men that the fast
freight is more of a danger to the ex-
press business than ii is to freight
traffic seeking other routes. So far as
freight is concerned, the question OF
time plays an important part only
when the transmission of periShable
fruit is under consideration. Merchan-
disc seeks the lowest rates and increase
in shipments recently by way of the
steamship routes to Galveston and
other gulf ports is a striking example
of this rule. The larger cost of fast
freight trains makes it doubtful
whether the fast freight service on all
but perishable goods will pay. These
are points made against the probable
ity of any road maintaining fast
freight service between Chicago and
the Pacific coast.
Rates in this connection call TO mind
that the Southern Pacific company has
a big reduction in its rates
on cattle and sheep from Nevada to
eastern points, which goes into effect
June IA and provides for a standard
car of cattle from Reno TO the Missouri
river and common points, $l55; MiSsis-
sippi river and common points. Sl77.50;
and common points. $l95. The
same rates apply to the shipment Of
sheep in dOuble-deck cars. The re-
duced rates are expected to result in a
general movement of cattle and sheep
from Nevada during the next few
weeks.

THE CHURCH GOLD SAVER.
Big Plant to be Installed at Gold
Creek, New.

A special from New York to the News.
of Gold Creek, New. says:
Major Robertson and Captain Anderson
today examined the Church placer mining
machine and found il about completed
and ready for shipment to Gold Creek
IL VIII handle thousand yards per day
using less than ten miners inches of
water This machine will revolutionize
placer mining.
The News. III speaking of this machine
says:
The Church machine is an improve
ment on modern inventions for handIin0
placer ground These inventions employ
Well established hydraulic principles and
have passed beyond the empirical stage
Colonel Church has been able TO take ad-
vantage OF various methods to construct
machine that will work the gravel most
economically. IT is not understood here
what the special features are. But the
principal thing is the conservation of the
water end its use over and over again
IL - only necessary TO make good the
loss by absorption and evaporation and
the small flow of ten inches is sufficient
for this purpose. The gravel is handled
by steam power. The Bucyrus people
demonstrated that gravel could be
handed on large scale in this way for
t"o or three cents a yard. Hundreds of
YARDS are washed in a revolving grizzly
through one small tank of water When
the Church machine is once installed ii
doubtless will be kept washing all sum
mcr long.
In the meantime everything is in
readiness for hydraulic sluicing in Crevice
gulch. Monday 60 men We're a work on
the distributing ditch from Little Sun
dover reservoir filling gopher Roles and
repairing any damage done by the melt
ing snow. Tuesday the water was turned
in and the ditch puddled. The same day
Unger and his men completed the sluice
boxes. and Captain Pnder finished laying
the pipe line.
This pipe line is Piss feet extending the
frii length of the gulch along one side.
In that distance the ground has a fall of
2S5 feet. Thus the giants will have great
pressure and little water will ac-
comolish much.
The reservoir now has 800, 100000 gallons.
Not much more will be collected this
season as the flow now is not much more
than the evaporation. But sufficient has
been stored TO make practical test of
the comDany's placer ground by tie old
hydraulic method.
This same water will also be used in
the Church machine, which will
be located lower down on the property.

MOUNTAIN CITY MINES.
A Rich Nevada District North of Tus-
carora

About seveRty-five miles north of
Tuscarora, in the great mineral belt
which is attracting the attention of
mining men in all parts of the globe.
says the Herald of Wells, Nevada. is
situated a town which. in the palnnv
days of Nevada, was one of the great
est wealth producers of the west. but
the decentralization crime of 1873 closed
the mines and hushed the rumble of
the mills. Since then no work to speak
OF, except small amount of prospect
ing, has been done until this spring,
when the news OF the rich discoveries
in this great region brought mining
men and Drospectors from all direc-
lions, and now Mountain City stands
well UP on the list of prospective lead
ing mining camps.
This district was organized in March
1869. by A. }. Cope. During the fol-
lowing summer general merchandise
store was opened by Leander Fisk and
Frank Fellows. and one by Mr. Open
heimer, of Elko. In the spring of 20
a ten-stamD mill. propelled by water
power, was erected by a Mr.. Vance for
custom ore, and another of the same
capacity was built by Colonel Drew

for 1000 tons of ore. Nearly all the

The Ogden Switch. in making men
ton of a new crusher the invention of
which is credited to an Ogden man,
saws.
John ]. Stewart of Ogden is the in
Ventor and patentee of a new steam
stamp and ore crusher. which is de-
signed to lessen the first cost of
reducing gold. silver and other
ores TO the fneness required for ex-
tracing the precious metals and TO pull
Verize ores of any description.
The idea of the designer was TO pro-
duce a machine which would be reason
ably perfect as a pulverfzer, yet so
light and compact that transportation
would be easy and cheap and operating
expenses reduced to a low cost.
The first consideration has been filled
by applying steam direct from the
boiler and dispensing with the use Of
heavy cams. shafting. pulleys and belt
ing and the consequent loss of power
Its construction enables it to he easily
taken apart as also put together, and
can be worked at a boiler pressure of
80 pounds, and less than one horse
power will work it and give a blow OF
1000 pounds al full stroke-70 strokes
per minute-and can be worked with
shorter strokes of 125 per minute for
less coarse material and crush about
six tons per day of "a hours.
The second consideration is provided
Tor by the weight of the machine. it
being only 200 pounds. The weight of
the heaviest part Cthe block) is about
400 pounds
The next and further consideration,
and one of most Importance. is in is
durability and low first cost. The
parts Of the machine subject to the
most wear are the shoe and die the
parts that give and receive he blows.
These can be replaced at a small cost
and are kept in stock ready to ship
The screen is easily replaced when
worn out
