Until re- gently it was thought that the only method of getting is sand was to gather it with shovels between tides, carry it away by means of mules and to wash it out. Experienced miners have done this for many years, some times with profit sometimes with loss Every conceivable means of handling the sand was tried, but without suc- cess. Several men lost all they pos sessed in attempts to get rich at a sin gle stroke.
 Prohting by the failures of the pioneer miners, those who took up the work later realized that success could only be attained through handling a very large amount of sand 1t was dis covered that a large TOrtion of each days deposit remains permanently on the beach. and that ii contains enough dust to yield a profit if it could be handled thorou @hly and economically.

Humboldt County has a number of tLese strips of gold bear ing black sand along her coast, and for years past miners had been struggling with the problem of getting the gold there.

It lies directly on the beach, and is about midway between Trinidad and Eureka, in what is known as the Little River district

yielded results which have filled the most sanguine with the typical gold fever, and there are to-day at least a dozen men in Humboldt who would not exchange shares in their mining plants ten miles above Eureka for one of the promising claims in Alaska. They are confident that before another year has passed fortune will be smiling upon them.
 Black sand containing gold dust is found in long strips all along the Pa cihc Coast from Alaska down. Several of these strips on the California coast have occasioned gold stampedes in times past. They have always held fascination for miners, and many have

 Plant after plant was erected, all of which were of a crude and experi- mental character. One machine after another was tried without success. None of the machines handled the sand thoroughly nor in sufficient quantity for profit. Finally perseverance, won, and of the three plants erected two are now in successful operation, while the owners of the third feel that they have overcome the last vital difficulty and are about ready for work

 It was away back in the '70's (she's not such a young thing. after alb, that Messrs. Secor, Vanderbilt and Burgess came out from the East with Govern nent contract to repair the old ana original Monadnock. Be 1t known that the navy then contained double t11rreted monitor of that name-a monitor which had successfully made the voyage from New York to Mare Island in 1868, conveyed by the steamer Vanderbilt
 It was to repair this old monitor that Secor ct al. secured the first appropria- ton. for the average Congressman in those days had no true appreciation or the value of a navy, their motto in ef- feet being, Millions for patches; not cent for new ships"
 Fortunately the representatives from California, aided by their colleagues from the Atlantic coast States, formu- lated a plan whereby they might suc- cussfully pull the wool over the eyes of the fresh water statesmen from land locked States; said plan providing for the building of new vessel under the fiction that an old one was being re- paired, California's distance from the national capital affording excellent op portunities for such scheme.
 Under the coaching of these Con- gressalen the contractors, on their ar rival at Mare Island it is said, visited the old Monadnock at her anchorage in Rotten Row, and taking a riVet hole out of one of her side plates proceeded to build a new vessel around 1t on the stocks which they had erected on the Vallejo shore, all progress on such work <eing regularly reported to Washing z-n under the head of repairs.

Active-GeneraI Notes.

Freight traffic continues heavy beyond
precedent, the volume of business last week
exceeding that of any former week in the
loaded-car movement, the train records
showing that there were received and for
warded at Indianapolis in the week ending
Oct l a total of % 405 cars, 23,i59 being
loaded an increase over the week ending
Sept. "a of 1913 loaded cars, over the CORE
spending week of 1897 of 2,461, over 1896 of
1853, over 1895 of 1892 over 1894 of 4Q43, over
1893 of 5,S27 over 1892 of l, IA, which was the
best week of the year 1892. This heavy bust
ness is the more remarkable from the fact
that there is at least so per cent. less grain
being shipped now than in the correspond
ing period last year. Freight men state
that they have never known time when
so large per cent. of the articles classified
have been moving. Apples and potatoes
are being shipped East from several of the
Northwestern States, cotton and lumber
from the Southwestern States and live stock
from Nebraska and the indian Territory.
Distance, they say, seems no longer to be
an obstice in shipping to any good market
Transcontinental frelghts were never heav-
Ter. West-bound through freights continue
unusually heavy, and this remark will APP
ply to both the higher and the lower class
freights, and local business is at a maxi
mum. Indianapolis merchants are shipping,
says a local freight agent, at least a third
more goods than at the corresponding period
last year. The furniture manufacturers
shipments are governed by the cars they
can secure to load, and the iron industries
are exceeding all FORMER records in ship
ments of their various products. The flour
mills and cerealine product manufacturers
are doing more than in any fall of some
years, while the stock yard and packing
