w. P. Wells, u Moscow, Idaho,
after working three years oil the
model. has produced a gold-saving
machine which, it is claimed, will
practically save all the fine GOLD
from the sand and gravel which is
put in it, and can be Iuilt for about
$40 and is of simple construction.
Mr.. Wells recently made test of
the machine by running through it
all ounce OF gold dust which he
got at local bank. With this he
mixed five gallons of sand and
gravel. The tailings showed that
the loss of gold was less than seven
cents out Of the SIG. The machine
can be worked successfully in
ground which is dry, on fiat bed
rock, or in any place where there
is scarcity of water.

The past winter has seen more
snow on the White Pass and about
Lake Bennett, in Alaska, than was
ever heard of before in the history
Of that country. 1t is claimed that
over three hundred Klondikers are
snowhound on the north side of the
pass, unable to move in any direc-
ton. They will probably have to
wait several weeks before they can
resume their long march to the Yu-
kon.

son who has heretofore made entry
under the homestead laws and COM
muted the same under the provisions
of section 1901 of the revised stat.
utes of the United States and the

titled to the benefits of the home
stead law as though former entry
had not been made, except that
communication under section 1901 of
the revised statutes of the United
States shall not be allowed of

It was then predicted that the republican party would attempt to retire the greenbacks, although the party and It's leaders studiously concealed their in tentions, That purpose IS now plain and the people must choose between the retention of the greenbacks, issued and controlled in volume Dy the gov ernment, and a national bank-note cur rency issued by banks and controlled in their own interests. If the national bank notes are to be secured by bonds the currency system now supported by the republican party involves per manent and increasing debt, and, so long as this system stands, the flnan- cal classes will be tempted to throw their powerful influence upon the side of any measure which will contribute to the size and permanency of na- tional debt It is hardly conceivable that the American people will deliber- ately turn from the debt-paying policy of the past to the dangerous doctrine of per ptIudl bbllu1

The BABY UNDERTAKEN
Fined SIS for Violating a City 0rdi-
nance-N0t Murder.

Will Lockett, the negro man who
was arrested on an alledged charge
OF murder last Friday, was Satur
day fned SD for violating city
ordinance =barying the body Of
new born child within the city
limits aud without notifying the
city officials.
De. Noel, the city physician ex=
amined the body thoroughly and
finding no signs Of violence, to in.
dictate murder, ordered that the
charge of murder be dismissed and
that the man be fined for violating
city ordinance. This was done, as
mentioned above.
Lockett is a hard working negro
man, in the employ OF the Mill &
Elevator Company, Of this cit. He
says be buried the child for its
mother, Francis Saunders, because
she was poor aud sick and had no
one to attend To the matter for her.
The police believe that Lockett toll /
the truth.
