Revenue returns indicate that the
treasury deficit for the month will be
about $1O,64O,0 900, as compared with a
deficit of $14, 100000 for each of the pre-
ceding three months To get at the
current war expenses, the $4,000, 600 de-
rived from the special internal revenue
taxes should be added to this amount,
making 1S,64O,OOO in ALL The income
from the Dingley tariff just about pays
the government expenses upon a peace
basis. The monthly deficit promises to
shrink, month by month, but some lit
tie time will elapse before expenses are
brought down to a level with the gov
ernments income. This means, of
course, a considerable diminution of the
$500, 900 treasury cash balance of
which so much has been said.

There is said to be a possibility that
the Duke of York, son and heir of the
Prince of Wales, will come over to see
the next yacht race in American
waters. The duke would be a welcome
visitor at any time, especially so now,
in view of the exceedingly friendly re-

United States, and as a sportsman he
might learn some valuable points from
the men who sail Yankee craft.

those of London by $1,000 900, and the

Masons Talk About the
Vote of the Big 33.

Saturday nights action of the Wor-
cester Masonic Charitable and Educa-
tional Association, or the committee of
SO, as it is called TO distinguish it from
the old board of trustees, which at the
present time has the renting of the
Masonic apartments, is still agitating
the Masonic fraternity to it's founda-
tons
That there has been jealousy be-
tween the old board and the new, the
members Of the fraternity admit but
all regret that 1t has resulted in the
vote to return the subscriptions aud
throw up the charter as exclusively
told by The Spy.
A large number Of the fraternity and
especially members of the old board
and their sympathizeTs say that the
duty of the committee of SO is to re-
sign, and allow the Masonic bodies
each of which is entitled to three trus-
tees, to elect their successors. Some
demand that this action be taken by
the committee, which would allow the
subscription fund to remain with nor
mai growth. Further, members Of the
new board contend that the old be-
cause the building project was taken
out OF their hands, have opposed every
move OF the new board. Injunction
proceedings have been talked Of by
southenders, who favor the Mower site,
and the situation assumes a cOnpn-
Gated phase.

strongly opposed to the return of the
subscriptions, and on this point the
members of the fraternity are express
ing themselves freely.
The committee has MIXED and
MIXED the Masonic fraternity until the
fraternity refuses to be MIXED any
longer That's the upshot Of the whole
matter. These We're the greetings Of
a member and eX-president of the old
board and one of the first to advocate
the idea of erecting a Masonic temple.

acuon OF the committee of SO, which
he first saw exclusively in SUNDAYS

Continuing, he said: IF thig commit
tee proceeds to sell the Mower lot. thew
are liable to run up against a stump.
IN the way of an injunction The mo-
ment that measures are taken to sell
the old site for the Masonic temple the
question will go to the courts I ques-
ton greatly whether the committee Of
30 has the right to return the money
or to dissolve the corporation formed.
The whole question in word is
that the committee has tried to force
a scheme Of theirs down our Threats
and now that the fraternity has re-
fused to be MIXED. it is their duty to

ana 3t conclusive. The opposition had
dated from three years ago. from The

was not a surprise to the Masonic
fraternity as it had been anticipated
and expected, The crisis was not from from
a single action, but the natural resnlt
of the proceedings of weeks and

City Solicitor Arthur p. Rugg, who
was the first clerk of the new board
and who but recently resigned from the
position, to be succeeded by Henry Cha
pin, said that the action explained it
self. He, personally, was sorry for
the hostility that had arisen and the
bad blood that had been engendered.
When asked about the possibility of en-
joining the new board from selling the
Mower estate, he said that he should
not suppose that it could be done, but
did not wish to be considered as eX-
pressing an authoritative opinion.

the whole secret of the trouble was,
he said that he supposed it was the
jealousy between the old and the new
boards. The change from the Mower lot
to the Bliss estate was thought to heal
the sores, but the result the reporter

WORKING PLACER MINES.
The Three Methods in Use Are Pam
ming, Rocking and SIuicing.
San Francisco Chronicle

San francisco Chronicle.
There are three ways of working placer
ground, as the gravel beds or valley bot
toms are called. They are mining, rocking
and sluieing. A pan is broad, shallow dish
OF iron or copper. The miner throws in a
shovelful of sand and gravel fills the pan
with water and then with twisting sitting
motion works whatever gold may be therein
down TO the bottom of the pan, where it
tends naturally on account of its greater
weight. AS he Sits, the miner tips the pan
gradually and works off the gravel and sand
until he sees what is caught in the lower
edge of the pan. The pan is most essen
tial part of tn prospectors outfit. 1t gives
him his cue, 1t is easy to pack.
A rocker is quite too large to be packed
about when prospecting. IT Is a iabor-saV-
capacity, and can be worked with an easier
motion. 1t is a box three feet long and
two feet wide made in two parts the TOP
part is shallo It'll heavy iron bottom
full of holes ter of an inch in dame

box is a hea' 9Th set in an inclined plane.
sloping eight inches in the length of the
box, or about three inches to the foot
Sometimes there are a series of these in
clined planes, one below the other, slopinS
in opposite directions. The whole is mount
ed on rockers like cradle
When the rocker is set up convenient 10

the top compartment with gravel, and then
rocks with one hand and pours IN water
the nuggets" will be found in the top and
the dust collected along the blanket.
The finest dust, in grains too small to see,
silver is mixed with the mud the gold will
unite with the quicksilver to form amalganl.
The amalgam, which is like putty, is put in
a buckskin bag and squeezed. The quick
silver comes through the pores OF the leath-
er and leaves the gold in the bag The
blankets have to be rinSed in barrel every
now and then and the contents OF the bar
rel treated with mercury.
Suicing is the most effective way of all,
and is done always whenever there is stlff-
cient Roadway of water and lumber can be
had for making the sluice boxes. Sluice
boxes, or troughs, six feet by ten by twelve
inches are run end to end something like
stoveppe They taper little to allow the
end of one to fit into the end of another, or
else one end of each box is fitted with col
lar The bottoms of the boxes have Stats
and gratings i'll them to catch the particles
of gold.
A sluice runs from a dam down along the
route most convenient for throwing in
gravel from the pay dirt" There is no
rocking nor twisting sitting necessary, as
the force of the water stirs up the gravel
sufficiently to give the gold a chance to
settle. The men stand alongside the sluices
and throw in gravel with a strewing swing.
and careful to avoid splashing. When
enough gold has collected he shuts off the
water, takes out the gratings and cleans
up, ready to begin again. Sluicing is three
times as rapid work as rocking.

THE DIsENCHANTMENT.
Aged DIR. ClOuser Believes His Girl
Wife Was UnfaithfuI.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Feb. 1S.-The
story from Muncie in the Journal in regard
to the venerable DR.. Clouser and his child
wife has created a decided sensation here.
1t has been quietly rumored for several
days that the doctor was secretly preparing
for legal separation 1t has been known
here for some time the two have not been
living happily together in their beautiful
and costly home. The doctor was seen in
regard to the matter to-day, and tells a
tale altogether different from that OF his
young wife. He says from IT, beginning
she has been grossly extravagant, and pur-
chased great quantities Of goods y .5he
sent home to her parents, but TIL raw
which broke the cancels back was & letter
he received for her from Shidel =. which,
he believes, proved her ur<ai.i-Sul. The old
gentleman went to the postofiice, and in
his mail received letter addressed in a
masculine hand to his wife, He opened the
letter and read it, and it proved to be a love
letter from prominent yourg man of
Shideler. who told her how he still loved
her, and requested her to meet him at that
place on the following evening. The old
doctor, in order to trap his gay and beauti-
full spouse, had an attorney copy it, re-
sealed the letter and replaced 1t in the post
office box. He went home ard told her
that there was letter in the box for her
and he had neglected to bring it, as he was
busy at the time. Mrs. Clouser went after
it, and, after reading it, wrote another and
replaced it in the envelope. claiming that
il came from her sister at Muncie, request
ing her to come to Muncie at once on ac-
count of the sickness of her aunt. The let
ter, he says, was in the envelope bearing
the Shideler poStmark, and the doctor i'm
mediately confronted her with the facts he
had learned from the preceding letter.
After q scene she departed the same even
ing and has not returned here SINGS. The
affair has caused decided sensation here,
where the doctor has been a practicing
of the wealthiest men in the county. The
doctor is anxious for q reconciliation with
his wife, and will welcome her back, not
suit is distasteful to him, and he hopes to
avoid trouble. Her attorney, Ralph Greg
DRY. of Muncie, was here Thursday, and
doctor refused to consider it. What the
outcome will be is vet uncertain.
