Loss of Gold in Solution in Water.

In view of the statement which has
been made at times by those engaged in
various branches OF mining relative TO
the losses OF gold in water used in stamp
milling, the article by A. Won Genet,
vice president OF the Chemical and Met.
allurgical Society OF South Africa, in
January's issue Of the society, is inter
estinV.
The question arose whether this So
luton OF gold is due only TO cyanide in
the water, or to other salts, for instance,
per salts of iron, which dissolve minute
quantities OF gold. To determine this,
City tons Of ore were crushed in stamp
and over again The result vas that at
the end OF the trial only traces Of dis
solved gold were found in the water;
conse quently, the dissolying ot gold in
practice may be considered due TO eva
nide only.
The mention Of cyanide is made, as all
the tailings are cysnlded alter oeIng run
through stamp mills, and it WAS not
known whether the loss was due TO DIS
solving OF gold by cyanide solution, which
might accidently have gotten into the
water, or by the water itself, whose So
luton OF the gold might, as suggested by
the article. been assisted by complicated
salts OF iro' or other metals in solution.

The Virginia City New Chronicle
says that Gen. McGlashan Of Truckee
has completed his task OF substituting
structures OF wire netting for the wooden
sheds, on the line OF the Central Pacific
railroad across the Sierra snow belt, with
satisfactory results, and will submit to
the Southern Pacific company II propo
sition to adopt hat method of keep'ng
their roadbeds clear of snow during the
winter. The tests made showed that
scarcely any snow slfted through the IN.
terstces Of the wire netting during The
heaviest storm Of the winter. The in
ventor claims that by the use of wire
netting not only will the annual loss from
fire be sverted, but it's substitution will
enable tourists to obtain an unobstructed
view of the fine scenery while crossing
the Sierras. The building Of a mile Of
wooden snow sheds costs rs COOS, and
their construction Of wire netting would
be much cheaper.

II is now conceded by all men
of all parties, says the Henderson
Times, that Bryan will be renom-
mated for president. So much for
undaunted courage and absolute
loyalty to the great and undying
principles of democracy. Those
who once called Bryan by all sorts
of hard and unseemly names stand
aghast when contemplating his
power, and are earnestly seeking
the cause Of his undying hold upon
the affections Of the millions Of
honest voters. In New York
today he is more talked Of than
any other living man, and all men
there regardless Of their standing
socially or financially, who are
opposed to McKinley's policy Of
imperialism, are for him, first last
and all the time. Booms that
were attempted for their own
townsman disappeared like the
dream Of a fairy, and Bryan's name
stands out and dims the rest.

FOURTH REHEARSAL

The music festival chorus had its fourth mass rehearsal last night. The attendance was quite large, but not so large as it was on Thursday of last week. As there will be only seven or eight full rehearsals be- tween now and the festival the members of the chorus will be urged to be regular in their attendance from this time on. Ab- sentees are noted, and members who do not attend the rehearsals regularly will oe dropped.
 James Bowron, as president of the festi- val association, addressed the chorus for ten or twelve minutes. He gave an inter- esting account of his recent cruise in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico-of his visit to the Bermudas and Cuba In Cuba he found that most of the real estate was owned by natives of Spain, and these Span ish Cubans, he said. were anxious for an- nexation to the United States.

He had not seen So large body of singers since he lived in Nashville.
 Professor Guckenberger gave his choral forces a pretty thorough drilling in part first of the Creation" and in the march from "Tanhauser," and he spent about hl- teen minutes on the new work-Grieg 5 "Olaf Trygvasson." lie seemed pleased with the way the chorus responded to his baton, especially in the oratorio.

 The chorus is evenly balanced and its tone quality is excellent.
 Professor Guckenberger is expecting the music of Benoit's children's eantata today. lie has notified the publishers that 1t must be here not later than this week.
