It requires only a constant flow of 212 inches of water to work seventy yards of gravel in twenty four hours. Five tons of gravel an hour was the rate at which the machine worked, and repeated tests failed to show a trace of gold in the tailings.

THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.
A Sympathetic Sketch of Her Bour-
EeOis Virtues.

There appears in the August number
of The Fortnightly Review an article on
THE Dynasty Crisis in SPAIN" which
presents the Queen Regent in different
light from that In which she has usually
been depicted. The writer says:
1T is a peculiarly invidious task to seek
to hold the mirror up to nature without
allowing art Its privilege of idealiZ!nS
when the model is lady and Queen,
and the realism Indispensable to the his
tor.an 1mparts a disagreeable shock to
the chivalry inborn in the Spanfard.
Truth, however. should have no reticenc-
es and a monarch no sex. Dona Maria
Christina is undoubtedly one of the mild
est, meekest. and most modest ladies
who have ever worn an earthly and mer-
tied a heavenly crown. Her acquired
talents are likewise Of high order, and
have stood her in good stead during the
trying times inaugurated by the Cuban
rebellion. But ii is idle to deny that the
lady'S admirable qualities, innate and
acquired, are precisely those which ap-
peal least to the Spanish heart and
mind. and almost unfit their possessor
for discharging with the fullness of sue
cess the arduous duties of a Spanish
monarch Her virtues would suitably
adorn a model German hausfrau, but are
woefully wasted upon frivolous Span
iards. whose ideal of a monarch differs
little from the picture which the ne
brews drew Of the Messiah.
Outward splendor,- visible majesty,
sumptuous pageantry and generous hos
pitality are among the main attributes
which should, in the eyes Of my fellow
countrymen. mark the exalted position
and characterize the official activity of
the successor of Philip II. Large-heart-
edness, strength of will. splendid generos-
ity and self-reliance cover a multitude Of
sins in a Spanish monarch, and cannot
be replaced by any number Of austere and
domestic virtues. And the Lady has
never displayed them. Extreme thrift
the modesty of the violet which fiourishes
in the shade. the quiet joys of the narrow
domestic circle and an utterly un-Spanish
conception of the duties Of a monarch
are predominant among the traits which
distinguish Queen Maria Christina from
her predecessor, Dona Mercedes.
''The masses complain that her majesty
takes superfluous pains to announce by
her every act that she is not a Spaniard,
while the aristocracy censure her for
bourgeois virtues which are royal defects.
The former refuse to pardon her for the
contempt with which she has ever treat
ed their national festivals and amuse-
ments-neither she nor her son having
honored the bull fights with their pres

ence-and the latter maintain that since
the death of her consort she has locked
the portals of the palace halls, less be-
cause of her grief for the eternally abb
sent one, than because of her repugnance
to take part in Spanish festivals. No
doubt there is much in a bull fight which
is neither attractive nor edifying, and
court society at Madrid may at times be
a trifie trying.
But a monarch has social as well as
political duties TO perform. and like those
of most professions, although occasion
