G0NzALEs-BARR0N.

Manning, Nov. 1.-THE distinguish
ed editor of the State, Mr.. N. G.
Gonzales and Miss Lucie Barron were
married here this morning. The Rev.
DR.. Reed, of the Presbyterian Theo-
logical Seminary in Columbia, per-
formed the ceremony. This was made
necessary owing to the recent illness
of the brides pastor, the Rev. F.
w. Gregg. The groom-elect came
down on Wednesday night, accom-
panied by Miss Gonzales, a sister, and
Messrs. Col. VIM. Elliott, an uncle,
and A. E. and W. E. Gonzales, broth
ers, DR.. G.. W. Baron, of Colubmia,
and Mr.. Frank E. Barron, of Wisacky,
brothers of the bride, also came down.
The affair was very quiet one, there
being no general invitations, and only
the Immediate members of the family
were present. The presents were many
and costly. The couple left on the
morning train. and it is understood
will make trip to points North.

The season of Ia grippe and bad colds
has come and people are beginning to
hunt for remedies to put a stop to
such troubles.
City Council held meeting last
Wednesday night. There was no bust
ness of any importance to be trans
acted and the meeting was very brief
one.
The rates or the railroads to
Charleston have been announced at
last, and those wishing to go have a
choice of three. different rates under
different conditions. .
The management is having the
Opera House thoroughly renovated
and cleaned up, and no doubt the
building will present much neater
appearance hereafter.
Messrs. Morris and Truitt, the al
legged Mayesville incendiaries. have
been released on bonds of S700 and

John Robinson is having hard luck
with his show as far as performers are
concerned. One was killed at Orange
burg on Wednesday, and another hurt
at Winnsboro on Thursday. Both
were riders in the hippodrome races.
There was an alarm of fire about g. Is
Monday. The fire companies responded
and found fence on fire at the resi-
dence of Dr.. McCallum on Church
street. The flames were soon extin-
guished and no damage of any conse-
quence was done.
The workmen on Main street have
reached as far as Mill street with the
digging up preparatory for the rock.
The laying of the new rock has pro-
gressed for about half block. The
work is being done rapidly and with
care.
The number of sales of, horses,
mules, wagons, and other properties,
seized under chattel mortgages is
probably the highest on record for
many years. The advertisement of the
sales are to be seen on all sides.
The bazar to be given on Dec. 3 and
4 by the ladies of the Jewish Lecture
Hall will, no doubt, be very enjoy
able event for those who attend.
Besides The usual bazar attractions,
there will be other new and novel at
fractions, which will be announced
later.
The commencement exercises Of the
Training School for Nurses tomorrow
night promises to be a very pleasant
affair. The two young lady graduates
will read essays, there will be address
es, and the Second Regiment Band
will furnish its usual high class mu-
sic for the occasion.
The first snow of the season has
come. It began falling yesterday morn
ing about nine O'Clock and continued
steadily for about four hours. Busi
ness of all kinds was at a stand-still
except probably the wood and
coal trade. This is rather early for
snow and it was unexpected by all, nc
doubt.
The work of changing the tracks at
the depot and making other improve
ments is still progressing. The new
tank at the northern end of the yard
is about completed. A pipe runs from
the tank to the tracks and engines are
supplied, with water from this pipe,
which comes up over the engine tank
from the side of the track.

CLEVER SCHEME BY WHICH ONE
MAN WORKED OTHER MEN.
He COULD BEAT FIRE TESTS
Drew $2OS, 900 From the Purses Of
Credulous Persons After the
Trick Had Been Laid
l. Bare to Them.

In view of recent events, the letter fol-
lowing by l. NJ. Taylor, one Of the oldest
and most noted mining engineers and
metallurgistS of the Pacific coast, also
celebrated in New York and WASHINGTON
will be of peculiar interest to Colorado
and Montana miners and scientists. says
the Denver Post. AS the facts stated
were matters with which he was officially
identified they may be accepted without
question. The letter was written to a
personal friend in this city, from whom
the Post obtained it,
New York, Now 24.-In 1880 a man by
the name of Tichenor appeared in Wash
ington. D. c.. and claimed that he had
made the greatest discovery of the age
one which would in short time revolu-
tionize the money system of the world.
He claimed that he had just discovered
natures process for making gold, or, in
other words. he had discovered process
which enabled him to extract from gold
ore $500 per Ton. when the fire assay of
the same ore showed only from So to SO
per ton; and that he could do all this
without involving extra expense in ex-
tracing the gold.
Had Nothing to Sell.
Strange as it may seem in the light Of
subsequent events, Tichenor had no
trouble in finding many believers in his
process among the best classes of men
in Washington, who stood ready to put
up their money in exchange for an inter-
est in his process-he all the time telling
them that he had nothing to sell, which,
Of course, made them all the more anx-
ious to buy.
The Smithsonian institute was called
upon to investigate the process. They
rendered a report which was non-com-
initial; evidently they had been ''salted"
by Tichenor or one of his associates. This
report had a tendency to increase the
confidence of the public in the process
Then man named Schaffer, from New
York. got an option from Tichenor
agreeing to pay 100000 for the control
He returned to New York and laid the
matter before some leading mining men.
These men agreed to take it subject to
an examination by their own expert. I
was selected to proceed to Washington
Immediately and make a thorough exam
ination and report without delay.
It Was a Great Secret.
On my arrival in Washington found
Tichenor and two confederates in a we'll
appointed laboratory. handed my letter
of introduction to Mr.. Tichenor, which
explained my business He inquired if I
wished to see test made of the process.
/ replied that what 1 wanted first of all
was his formula. To this he objected,
saying it was a secret.
He finally told me that he used chloride
of gold as a re-agent; that the solvent
gold which the ore contained which the
fire assay would not bring out had an

OVERLOOKED A BET
TWO HUNTERS DISCOVER GOLD
NEAR MISSOURI RIVER.
THEY DID NOT CARE FOR 1T
Wolf Pelts Had the Call on Their Am
bition-Their Apathy Equals That
of Bill Rodgers, the Wyom-
ing Cowboy.

Two wolf hunters from the Missouri
river dropped into Great Falls few days
ago and reported that while knocking
about in the vicinity Of Portage Coulee.
q miles from Great Falls, they had
struck gold in the gravel there. They
expressed the belief that the ground con-
tanned the yellow metal in paying guam
titles, but as they were after wolf hides
and knew more about them than mining
for gold they expected to continue the
hunting of hides and allow someone else
to sluice the gold.
The story of these men is not unlike
the one told by Bill Rodgers in this city
about a year ago. Fifteen years ago
Rodgers was cowboy in the vicinity of
the Black Hills of South Dakota. One
day while riding the range he ran across
a spring of oil. He stopped and CREASED
his boots with some of the oil and then
rode back to the home ranch, % miles
away.
where did you get that shine?" ask
ed another cowboy as Bill waded into
the corral.
Found it out on the prairie" replied
Rodgers. Il was out looking for maver-
icks and jus. sighted it accidentally"
At intervals for several months after
that Rodgers and other cowboys visited
that shine spot and softened the
leather of their boots with the oil. but
it never occurred to them that they We're
overlooking a good thing by not locating
the ground for oil and coal purposes.
News of the discovery s-on penetrated
the mining districts of the Black Hills
and one day when Rodgers dropped down
to get another shine he found the spring
located. Since then wells have been sunk
and oil struck in large quantities. A town
has sprung up near by and coal mine
opened not half a mile from the wells.
But Rodgers was looking for maver-
icks worth at that time about $50 each
and did not care to be handicapped by

In question.
Mr.. Ropes further remarked that his
company did not enjoy some Of the SEN
sational advertising they were getting In
the state press about the marvellous
wealth they had uncovered. The substan-
tial prospects of the company were graft
flying to the stockholders, and good
enough but some of the fairy tales print-
ed about the subject gave them no satis-
faction. but rather the reverse. Tho

they have a good investment" said Mr..
Ropes. land that Is all we care to have
said about 1t. For the rest, working the

not worrying about that part of 1t any
more than we are figuring on suddenly

and then weigh out the amount Of chic
ride Of gold which they claimed to be
necessary for the treatment and mix It
with the ore. A pipe was connected with
the tank from the outside Of the build
ing, 30 arranged as to enable them to
force the chloride in solutions into the
ore. In this way they were able to make
the ore assay whatever they wanted 1t to
go above the assay before treatment.
The ore, after being mixed in this man.
ner, was sent to the Babcock Refining
works, where the gold was taken out and
the bricks put on exhibition.

When we arrived the next morning the
place was closed, and that was the hast
of the Tichenor process. The company
lost $20S,000 in the venture. and all they

Finally l will state as a general prin-
ciple that man who claims to have dis
covered a process that enables him to
take from ton of gold ore from 500 to
$500 more than the fire assay shows does
not deserve any more consideration or
respect than one who may claim that he
has discovered a chemical process where

cents a bushel and put them on the mar
ket in competition with the farmers. A
