For forty years the officials of the
Hudson Bay Trading Co. have been
aware OF the existence Of gold in large
Quantities in the Klondike. But in
the fear OF rush of people in that
country, as has been going on in the
past year, all the employees of the com
pany were positively forbidden to di-
vulge their knowledge of the mineral
wealth Of the country 1t was not that
the Hudson Bay Co. had any designs
on the gold fields that they enforced
TINS silence. The thing they stood in
fear OF was that any great influx of
men would frigthen the fur-bearing
animals from their usual haunts. And
this il just what has occurred during
recent seasons.

Getting All the Cream.

The above is an old and perhaps
threadbare subject, yet it is one to
which occasional reference needs to be
made, because of the many absurd and
conflicting theories constantly afioat.
1t is common remark that nothing
seems to be settled, and in dairying if
anything ever is settled it does not long
remain so. This is especially true
when applied to cream raising.
The introduction of the Swedish
system of cream raising in this country
in 1876 was an important event in
American butter making. Until then
it was gradually understood that the
milk should be set in shallow pans,
stand forty-eight hours and never be
allowed to get very cold. The Swedish
feature is just opposite in each feature.
First, the milk is set in deep cans;
second, it need not stand longer than
from one milking to the next at the
longest; third, its temperature should
be quickly reduced to As degrees or be.
low.
The introduction of the Swedish sys-
tenn started good deal of thinking,
talking, writing and some experiment
ing. 1t raised good many doubts that
were only settled by experimenting and
demonstrating. But at last it came to
be pretty generally understood that by
the correct practice of the Swedish sys-
tenn of cream raising all the cream
could not only be obtained between
milkings but in much shorter time.
The facts are, that if milk is set at or
near the temperature at which drawn
and quickly reduced to 40 degrees or
below, all the cream will be at the
surface very soon after such reduction
of temperature has been completely
effected. This is question that can
be settled in any farm dairy, or for
that matter, anywhere that milk, water
and ice can be obtained.

Washington. for the tempo

THE GOLD SAND o.
THE SASKATCHEWAN

The SASKATCHEWAN,
This week Mr.. Harold Gruner of Cal
gary, who is on a visit to East Koote-
nay, showed the Miner, While passing
through to Fort Steele, some of the
famed black sand found in the Sas-
district of Alberta. which analysis has
proved to be exceedingly rich in gold.
The sand is far from golden in its APP
pearance. 1t looks like a mixture Of
black and gray sand mingled together.
1t Is impregnated with tiny pebbles and
minute pieces of rock, 1t Is very heavy
in bulk. 1t is found in the bed of the
river, and the area where it S found is
some miles in extent. The deposits do
not appear to be growing much less, as
they are quickly renewed by successive
floods when the waters of the river be-
come high. Several companies have
been formed to treat this sand so as to
obtain from it the great amount of gold
that exists in it. Crushing, amalganla-
ton or extraction by means of qGicksll-
yer have been attempted. This process
has not been complete success. An
other process has been tried of treat
ment by the action Of fire, roasting and
smelling, but the Miner does not know
with what result.
The Miners theory is that those sandy
deposits come from the gold deposits in
the Rockies. The sources, which are
many of the head waters of the Sas-
katchewan, lie far away in among the
mountains. The opposite side of the
Rockies has been proved both in placer
and quartz, and there is no reason why
these deposits should not extend
through the mountains to the eastern
side. On the contrary, biologists will
tell you the formation is the same, and
that therefore the quartz Lodges must be
of the same character. The forks and
tributaries of the Saskatchewan run
with considerable velocity, and the river
is not a slow moving stream until 1t Is
far away from the mountains. The
carrying force of water is great. Rocks
and boulders can be moved long dis
tances through its agency. The gold Is
flour gold, and can be more easily and
readily carried along. But the question
may be very aptly put, why do the de-
posts occur where they do? Why
should they be at those particular
places? The character Of the earth will
readily account for this. Certain por-
tons of the earth possess great magnet
ie ATTRACTIONS, and 1t may be and is in
all probability at these places where
these magnetic properties exist that the
deposits are made.-Golden (B. CO

distinguished people who come to con-
dole with her. In her house she has
a little chapel, which she has arranged
herself and filled with souvenirs of her
late. husband. She also. like Nine Mac
