three miles we believe such a method
could be most economically used and
would like to see it tried. The trucks
for carrying the gravel could be built
at small expense and be the property

EXPLOSION IN THE JAIL
1t Was a Cartridge, and One of the
prisoners Had IL.

The Quietude of the interior of the
county Jail was disturbed last night at
s o'clock by the loud report of a pis-
toll
Jailer Garcia was on watch at the
time and he was considerably alarmed
by the sudden disturbance. Apparent
ly the shot had been fired in the left
wing of the prison on the first floor
The jailer fastened to that portion of
the building and closely questioned
Edelberto Garcia. McBrown Pedro AL
vareZ and another Mexican who were
the occupants of a single cell on the
ground floor of the left wing. Each
denied that any shot had been fired and
for a time the efforts of the jailer to
discover the perpetrator were baffied.
He was convinced however that the
four men knew more about the shot
than they would tell
After waiting n while e crept back
and took a position near the cell so he
could overhear the conversation of the
inmates. Finally he heard Edelberto
Garcia remark that they he'd just as
we'll go ahead and enjoy themselves
for they would be found out anyhow in
the morning. This convinced the jail
er that Garcia and his pals We're re-
sponsible for the shooting
Early this morning he went in to in
vestigate further. After a close search
he found an empty brass cartridge on
the floor and bullet that had been
hattened against the wall. He acccus-
ed the men of shooting the cartridge
and they owned up. but said they were
only trying to have a little fun. Their
punishment will consist of being locked
in their cells and not permitted to
in the outer Enclosure.
The cartridge is supposed to be one
which McBrown had about him when
arrested. Several were found a few
days ago when his cell was searched.

ELECTRICAL placer MACHINE
On Exhibition in this City. the In
ventIon of . Dallas Man.

This afternoon at o'clock a new dry
concentrating machine was exhibited
on Chihuahua street that bids fair to
prove a wonderful success.
The machine is the invetion of Henry
NJ Sutton of Dalls. who is here to give
il thorough test. 1t is manufactur-
ed by the Sutton Steel company at Dali
las and is owned by Henry NJ. Sutton,
George w Jalonick ind F.. G. Steel.
All the owners are here and will invite
the mining men of this section to see
the machine operate before they re-
turn east. The company has leased
quarters in FL Paso and will make this
city the principle distributing point IL
the machine meets with success
II is an electrical apparatus that sep
arates the gold and other metal from
the sand and has a capacity equal to
any emergency. Mr.. Jalonick has just
returned from the Jarilla mines where
he bought a ton of dry placer with
which to test the machine. When
startd today IL did excellent work and
got more pure gold from the placer
than the assayers have been able to
find.
The machine is on the same prin-
ciple as the one invented by Edison
some years ago. but as the Edison ma
chine has never been exhibited for pub
lie inspection no comparison can be
made One of the Edison machines is
now in use near Santa Fe. New Mex
leo. and is doing good work.
Mining men her esay that II the
electrical method of treating dry pla-
Ger proves a success many gold placer
fields in this section can be worked
with great profit that now are lying
idl. for want of water. The company
will make an effort to place the ma
chimes in this section to get long
practical test oil it's capacity. The ma
chine takes out all sand and clay and
retains the gold almost pure.

Mexican lions and wolves are doing

the colonists brought a large number
of fine cattle there and nearly half of
them were killed by the beasts during

The colonists are now trying to pro-

the animals but they are so thick in
places that it is hard to protect young
cattle and colts.

A NEW CENSUS FEATURE.
Analysis to be Made of Census Sta
tistics by the Division of
Methods and Results.

Washington, Sept. 30.-One of the
most interesting feature of the CEN
sus bureau, as well as a new one in
such work, will be the analysis that is
to be made of census statistics by the
division of methods and results, of
which Prof. Walter F. Wilcox, of
Cornell university, is in charge. 1t
is to be the duty of Mr.. Wilcox to
show what the cold figures of the cen
sus means, for, though figures do
not lie" a failure to properly inter
pref them often causes them to give
false impressions. With a view of Sc
curing expert comment on all the sta
tistics of the census, returns on vari-
OF subjects will be sent to experts
who have national regulations.
Health statistics will be interpreted
by men who nave for years made a
special study of such matters.
and mortality statistics will probably
be placed in the hands of insurance
experts for their explanation and
comment. So it will be in all lines of
census work The result of this ex-
PLANTATION of the figures is expected
to be one of the most popular of ali
h census bureaus accomplishments.
