Endless Chain Dredeer.

Mr.. Buffers of the Red River
Dredging company gives an inter-
esting account Of the manner in
which this method of mining is
conducted. The dredger now being
erected is upon comparatively
new principle in this country, al
though it has been in use in Aus
tralia for long time.
The buckets are worked on an
endless chain and instead of swing
ing from I'M arm, the whole boat
swings or walks on stills, giving
the buckets sweep Of eight feet
forward and cut of no feet wide.
There are dredgers on this princi-
pie being worked ON the Boise
Basin and also on the Sacramento
river, California.
The boat that carries the ma
chinery has yet to be built and Mr..
Buffers does not expect to get his
dredger in operation until May 1st.

A Suppressed Repor; of a Speech in
National Congress OF Women,

The national congress of women,
which assembled in London, has not
as yet disturbed the gaiety OF nations.
This is the more surprising seeing that
several of the delegates are in favor OF
total abstinence in every direction
except in the direction of dress. 1t is
understood that the reports of the pro-
ceedings which have been published in
the newspapers are not genuine. The
following account of one of the meet
ings has been supplied by a moderate
delegate who advocates the retention
of man, though in position of second
airy importance.
