.DREDGE FOR !
NOME SANDS
Butte Men Have Patented a
Peculiar Machine.
WORKS UNDER WATER
A Centrifugal Pump Operated by Elec-
ricity and Will Convey Gold
Bearing Sand to Beach.
WORKS UNDER WATER

During the past few years dozens of
vented to work the river beds and chan
nels of the small streams in the western
states. Only a few Of them have proved
successful, notably those at Bannack.
Repeated experiments nave been made
to operate dredges on the snake river,
where gold in paying quantities exists,
but owing to the f1neness of the particles
no device has yet proved successful.
When the news of the big strike of
gold on the beach at Camp Nome was
received, inventors turned their atten-
ton to The invention Of ways and means
by which the yellow treasure could be
more quickly extracted than by the slow
and laborious process of the shovel. Diff
~f1culties were experienced, however, that
were not met with in any other locality.
Owing to the heavy surf on the beach
it was found that no dredging machine,
no matter how strongly put together,
could Withstand the fierce waves. AS a
result many inventors gave up the task
as hopeless.
Not so, however, a few Butte mechan-
les, who during the winter have been
perfecting plans for a dredging appa-
ratus which experts believe will be sue
~cessful. The Butte men are Thomas
Trainer, a machinist at the Mountain
View mine of the Boston & Montana
company; J. p. Hanson, formerly fore
man of the machine shop of the Parrot
smelter, and August OverstrOm, master
mechanic for the Parrot company. They
have patented the invention and are now
making arrangements to take n of
their machines to Cape Nome by one Of
the early BOATS this spring.
The theory upon which the invention
is based is that the gold in the Cape
Nome beach is washed in from the ocean.
Their invention consists of a Water-tight
and waterproof dynamo on the beach
and a centrifugal pump operated by
electricity. The pump is submerged out
under the breakers, and wires encased
in gutta percha connect it with the
dynamo from which it receives it's power.
Being submerged, it will at all times be
impervlous to the attack Of the heavy
seas which break over the beach.
Out beyond the low tide line this pump
will be placed upon the sandy floor OF
the beach and will pump up the gold
bearing and to sluice-boxes located
back on the tundra or above the high
tide line. The pump will have flexible
hose attachments and will be able to
pump down to bedrock without any adj
justment. \
- eoi!lol ~ iioHcIieuI VI TIE pump
an ingenious arrangement of pulleys has
been devised, by which the pump can be
moved in the arc of a circle over a very
large territory. This portion of the APP
p~aratus will be operated by means of a
small portable engine, to which will be
attached cables, running in a kite-shaped
fashion from the engine to the pump.
The machinery can be easily trans
ported to new ground when the old dig
gings are worked out. So far it is the
only feasible plan invented for the work.
ing of the beach diggings of Cape Nome,
and its owners are sanguine that it will
be successful.

SARSPIELD FAILS TO. 7
CARE FOR CHILDREN,

Patrick Sarsfield was to have told the
county commissioners this morning all
about al alleged charge of failure to
properly care for his five children, but he
failed to appear. He lives in a cabin in
His wife is dead.
About three weeks ago some of Sars-
fields neighbors complained to the coun-
ty commissioners about the condition of
the children and Sarsfield was cited to APP
pear before the board to explain the
matter. For some reason he failed to
obey the order. Yesterday another COM
plant was made and Deputy Sheriff
Aware caught him. When he arrived at
the court house, however, the commits
sioners had adjourned for the day, but
Mr.. Terrell, one of the members of the
board, had not left the building. Not de-
string to have Sarsfield locked up for the
nught, he exacted from him a promise to
appear at 10 O'Clock today, but Sarsfeld
evidently forgot all about 1t, as he did not
put in an appearance.
1t is alleged that Sarsfield goes to his
work in the mornin and leaves the child
rem alone to take care Of themselves and
they do not make much Of a success of it.
1t is also alleged that a few days ago
some Of the %neighbors peeked through a
window of the cabin and saw the children
boosting the fire with kerosene.
Later in the day Sarsfield showed IN
and told his story. He said he was rails
ing his children right and had been try-
ing to get a h~ousekeeper to take care OF
them, but SO far success had not crowned
MS efforts. The board looked upon his
statement with doubt and save him until
Monday to get the children ready to be
cared for in some institution at his own
expense; otherwise it would take them
from hin and send them to the Orphns'
Home, or to some other institution where
they would fare better than in a cabin in
this city.
