New Gold Saving Machine

The Mail says that F. A. Hill Of
Stockton has constructed a machine
Of his own invention for saving fine
gold without the use Of quicksilver,
even the smallest particles being saved.
A hand machine Of his pattern will lift
water six feet and wash more gravel
in a day than a man a wash in a
rocker in a week.
The same water is used yer and
over. The machine separates the gold
and black sand from the big volume Of
sand and the gold is separated from
the sand afterwards by amalgamation
with mercury. Practical tests Of the
machine have shown IT to be a perfect
success. A test Of 200 pounds Of the
Cape Nome sand vas made with graft
flying results. showing 1t to be especial

Let 1t Die.

Pay no attention to SANDERS and Cos
~sipmongers. Keep straight on your
course. and let your backbiting die the
death of neglect. What is the use of
lying awake at nights brooding over the
remark of some false friend that runs
through your brain like l~ightning2
What is the use Of getting into a worry
and fret over gossip that has been set
afloat to your disadvantage by some
meddlesome busy-body who has more
time than character These things
cannot possibly injure you, unless in
deed. you take notice Of them, and in
combating them, give them standing
and character. If. what is said about
you is true. set yourself right; if it is
false. let it go for what 1t will fetch. If
a bee stings you. would you go to the
hive and destroy it1 1t is wisdom to
say little concerning the injuries you
have received. We are generally
losers in the end if we stop to refute
all the back-bit'ng and gossiping we
may hear by the way.
