WORK AND GOLD FOR EVERY ONE.

In 1858, when flour was dearer than at present and scarce at that, and a side of bacon was as dear as ones sweetheart, men worked the placers of the Platte and Cherry creek. They earned from $1 to s per day to the man, often s1 to be sure, yet an aver age of s2.50 day net. When the news of Gregory's strike in Gilnin county reached Denver, these sample deposits were forgotten. They have remained so ever since. So have many old dumps laid untouched for years They were once worthless, but now valuable because of the cheaper methods of han ding and working the ore. In Califor- mia it is said that the child-like son of China, with his ''washee-washee.' working 365A days in the year upon some old placer long abandoned as sterile or exhausted by the impatient Anglo-Saxon. cleaned up in the long run more gold dust than did his white brother-begging the pardon of all Californians. In other words, patient Oil upon poor ground pa,u rich re, turns. Some years ago two tender feet Of the class known as "lungers," for the sake of something to do and the fresh air, sunshine and exercise, work ed a rocker in the bed of Big Dry creek, some twelve miles southeast of Denver. They worked, smoked and rested, and suffered unceasingly from camp fever. otherwise known as lazi- ness. When camp was struck eighteen bottles of black sand had taken the place of just eighteen bottles of snake medicine. This black sand was sold for 80 (yes! ninety dollarsD for the gold it contained. This black sand was the result of thirty days work or rather pastime The same thing can be done today. Why are pale-fac- ed men measuring ribbon for s5 per week and brawny forms idly encum- bering the sidewalks in eastern cities, when there is work for all in the low grade placers near Denver? The only capital needed with which to work them is a camp outfit, shovel, pan, and little energy, principally energy. Mining Reorter.

THE YOUNG IDEA.
To This Boy There Was One Thing
 That Seemed Impossible.

"If there is one thing 1spse than an pared with Spain,'' remarked Capitol Hill man, Git is the almost universal ignorance characterizing the Span iards. Even our small children are 50 that they astonish us at times, and what the boys don't know about the men who have thus far made a rep utation for themselves, isn't worth knowing. As for Dewey, and Fooz Bagley and Hobson, there isn't a boy Of any age who doesn't know more about them than he does of Juliuk Caesar and George Washington com bined. My daughter, who teaches in a mission Sunday school, tells me of ! Dewey experience she had with youngster making his first appearance. She had put him through a half hour or more of instruction in the rudimen- tary principles, for he was entirely lacking in information on that point. and to test him was reviewing her work with him.
 Now she said, tell me again whS made the world and all that is in it,
 God did, replied the boy with commendable promptitude
 "'God can do everything, can't her she asked again.
 ''The boy hesitated a moment.
 "I don't believe he could lick Dewey he answered, at last, and his teacher sat silent between her religion and her patriotism. It wasn't her time to say anything, if she didn:t want to lose that boy forever. and she had wit enough to let it go at that.:- Star.

ABOUT ROCK DRILLS.

In no line of invention has so much attention been directed in the west during the last few years as has been given to the production of rock drills. A great many hand drills have been invented, some of which possess fea- lures which gave promise of success, but most of them have failed when put at actual work. Some of these are yet in the period of development and may yet demonstrate practical value. Among the successful efforts is the Jackson hand power rock drill. Much effort, however, has been expended in proving that the drill creates power, because it is claimed that one man with a Jacksan drill can do the work of two or three men using only ham, mer and drill That this is true is not because the drill creates power, an inn possibility but for the same reason that a man on bicycle can travel faster and easier than can a man on foot with the bicycle on his back. One man with Q Jackson drill can strike 1S0 blows of 200 pounds each minute. an economical utilization of 36,000 pounds of force in sixty seconds. A man with 6-pound single-hand ham, mcI VIII StTlhc lOTly UIOWS Ol ulucty pounds each per minute, or utilize only $500 pounds of force in sixty seconds. With an S-pound hammer a man will strike forty blows of 125 pounds every minute, or utilize 1000 pounds of force every sixty seconds. Two men, one swinging a double-iack and the other turning the drill, will produce thirty blows of 250 pounds every minute. or utilize 7.500 pounds of force every sixty seconds. The depth of the hole depends entirely on the number of pounds of force utilized in given time and the manner in which that force is applied. Four men on a hand car can move thirty miles an hour. Put a hand car on four men and things are at a standstill. Does hand car create power? An army can not lift a bat tleship, yet by means of hydraulics a child can. Does hydraulic jack create power? To cut hole through three inches of granite with a hair would require centuries; with a tooth pick, years; with a nail, months; with knife, days; with drill, hours; with hammer and drill, minutes; and with a Jackson hand power rock drill, sec onds. Does hair, toothpick, nail, a knife, a drill, hammer or a Jack son drill create power?-Mining Re porter.
