Electrical Dredgers.

The United States Geological Survey
has sent out the following relative to
electric power as an useful auxiliary to
dredging:
''An interesting example of the value
of electricity in making profitable old
industries which have fallen into decay,
ia to be found 10 the valley Of Yuba
River, California, which was years ago
the scene of an active search for gold.
As much gold as could then be profit
ably found was secured and the local.
ity abandoned; but the advent of cleo
tricity has created new and unusual
activity there. Many miles back in
the mountains q large water plant has
been constructed for the generation of
electricity; by means of the power from
THE source, the people along the lower
and randy parts Of the valley have be-
gun to use huge machine dredges to
work the old abandoned placer mines.
These dredgers scoop up the gravel in
which gold is thought to exist, pass it
back to be separated and deposit it on
the ground behind them. 1t is an un.
usual and exceeding interesting sight
to see these great machines eating
their way into the earth. They stop at
nothing, but work along steadily
through fields and orchards aud leave
behind them a. complete a picture of
desolation as one could expect to find.
The operators are said to be making
good thing out Of it as the power is
cheap aud the findings OF the precious
metal Is sufficiently large to bring very
good returns. The work was lately
watched with much interest by some
of the members of the United States
Geological Survey who we're making
general Reconnaissance in that region"
When We consider that the dredger,
which "works steadily through fields
and orchards" is simply destroying
sonnet hing which has rarely proved
profitable 10 California, and, while ex
tracing gold from the earth, takes
away nothing which might add to its
productive value as agricultural land,
the "picture of desolation', is not any
worse than the preceding one of unpro-
fitable fields and orchards. California
is mining State; not in any sence
Profitable agricultural nor horticul.
tursl one. The thousands Of failures
in these line. bear ample testimony to
the truth of this statement. As re.
claiming agents in the low bottom
lands, the richest in the state really
when reclaimed, the dredger is not to
be despised. & Engineering

dency of the business at a good salary.
He further alleges that he got Moth
ing but the superintendency and that

reality gave Dowie the entire owner

Warren, o., Nov. 20.-Simon p. Carl
ton, of Girard. a civil war veteran, has
filed $1,000 damage case against
James j. Winans, of Warren, another

and that King Edward would be killed
next; also that he (Carltm) had secret

. NO PHOTOGRAPHS
Will BE Allowed Of the New
Death Mask Of the
President.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. zO-The death
mask of President Mckinley in plas-
ter, just completed in this city by Ed
ward l.. A. Pausch, of Hartford, Conn,
has been carefully guarded ever since
II was begun.
Every night since September is the
likeness has been kept locked in one OF
the strongest vaults of the Security
Safe Deposit company.
Secrecy has been maintained in the
making of the mask to prevent the pos
sibility of its being photographed. 1t
was the express order of the govern
ment that no photographs of the mask
should be taken. At Washington the
mask will be displayed only for q
short time, and then 1t will be care
fully guarded and kept under glass
case. Sculptors are to begin on re-
modelling the cast into marble. In this
way all marble statues of President
Mckinley which portray his features
in accurate proportions will necessarily
have to come from this mask.

JUMPED THE TRACK
Did Four Freight Cars--Then
They Side Swiped Pas
senqer Train.

Freight No. S3 was slightly wrecked
on the Wheeling and Lake Erie rail-
way, about o'clock Wednesday morn
ing in the Columbia yards. Four
freight cars jumped the track and were
dragged for a distance of 100 yards
before the train was stopped. The
train was west bound and was running
at a good speed at the time the ac-
cident occurred. No one was injured,
fortunately, and the cars were replaced
on the track within couple of hours
after 1t happened.
The four freight cars side swiped
passenger train No. ON the same line
that is due to leave Massillon for
Wheeling at 1926 daily. The passen-
ger train consisted of one baggage car
and one passenger coach. The two cars
were damaged considerably on the
sides and the steps leading to the plat
forms on the front anu rear of the
train were broken off. No windows
were broken, however, and the cars
will soon be repaired ready for use.
The accident caused some delay in
starting the regular train, No. 6, as
extra coaches had to be obtained be-
fore the train could be made up. The
delay, however, only lasted for about
Is minutes.

REPuDIATES BONDS.
6ueyrus, Una BILE to Meet lObiI-
s. cations, May BE Deciar-
cd Bankrupt.

Bucyrus, O., Nov. 20.-Bucyrus is in
a peculiar position which bids fair to
develop into a serious condition. A
year ago the city voted to issue $4,000
In bonds as a bonus to manufactur-
ing industry. The money was to bc
Invested in buildings under the ST.
pervision of a board of trustees ap-
pointed by the city. Work was begun
on the buildings and some 100000 was
spent in putting in foundations and
for structural iron, part Of which was
delivered. The walls of the building
were half up when an injunction suit
was brought and the supreme court
granted temporary Injunction until
the case could be heard on its merits.
Work on the building was stopped.
The $4,000 in bonds had been sold to
q Cincinnati bank and by them dis
posed of to investors. On Saturday
the first coupons on these bonds were
due and were received by the local
banks for collection. On presentation
apyment was refused and the coupons
returned. The holders of the bonds are
expected to make things interesting
within the next few days. 1t is feared
the bondholders will have the town
declared bankrupt. On the strength OF
this contract the manufacturers made
arrangements to get into the new
building in December and bought ma
chinery end contracted to deliver a
deal of manufactured stock

London Com
.et mont.

'1 London. Nov. 19.-Gxcept as anord-
ing q chance for the opposition jour-
nails to attack the government and
tho foreign secretary, Lord Lans-
downe, the signing of the I~x 18TH
mian canal convention does not ex-
cite strong interest in Great Britain.
1t Is generally admitted that the Brit
ish have nothing to gain by reten-
ton Of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
while they have much to gain by the
construction. Of the canal.
The, Morning Post congratulates
both countries on the completion OF
the treaty and says it is glad that the
convention of 1900 has been revised
in accordance with American wishes.
The Daily Mail fears that the signing
may not terminate forever q trouble
some dispute, and thinks Canada
ought to receive some equivalent for
the concessions which probably have
been made.
The Daily Chronicle says:
LORD Lansdowne has surrendered
everything without compensation.
The government has climbed down
from the position 1t had deliberately
chosen, and although the disappear
ance OF the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
will not cause much regret many peo.
pie will sigh for the business cabi.
net which Lord Rosebery recently
suggested"
In conclusion The Daily Chronicle
characterizes the new treaty as a
full acceptance by Great Britain OF
the Monroe doctrine" and says III
would be strange indeed IL the senate
should object to such a one-sided bar
gain"
The Times says: (
1T Is premature to assume that all
difficulties have been overcome and
that the senate will ratify the treaty
but England has no reason to regard
the construction of the canal will
alarm or suspicion. -
I'VE hope the treaty will be deal
with by our American kinsmen in the
same spirit Of International good will
with which 1t will certainly be re
ceived in England"

SIGNING OF THE TREATY.
United States to Solely Guarantee
49, Neutrality.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The Hay
Pauncefote treaty was signed by Sec
retary Hay, for the United States, and
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, for Great Britain. The cerc-
mony was without formality. The
witnesses were Percy Windham, sec
ond secretary of the British embassy;
Sidney Smith, chief Of the diplomatic
bureau of the state department, and
two official messengers.
1t is understood that all of the
principles for which the senate con-
tended when the first Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty was rejected by that body
have been conceded by Great Britain.
The text of the treaty will probably
not be made public until 1t Is sent to
the senate for confirmation, but its
provisions, according to the best in
formation obtainable, are:
Unconditional abrOgatiOn of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty Of 1850. by
which the United States and Great
Britain agreed that neither would OBJ.
tain nor maintain exclusive control
over an inter-oceanic canal; guaran.
tee Of neutrality In time Of peace by
the United States; the United States
at liberty to avail itself of its re.
served rights and close the canal
against the ships Of any nation with
which 1t may be at war; tho United
States to have the exclusive right to
control, maintain and defend the
canal; Notifications, which were not
permissible under the former treaty
allowed, II desired. No ratification
by or adherence to the terms of the
treaty by foreign nations; no discrim
ination in the matter of tolls in favor
of the United States; no consideration
given by the United States in return
for the abrogation Of the Clayton-Bul
wer treaty.
There is every reason to believe
that the senate will promptly ratify
tho treaty shortly after the convenint
of the Fifty-seventh congress, ant
that by Feb. 1t will become oper
ative through the formal exchange o.
ratifcations between this government
and Great Britain, as tho presumption
is that the British cabinet has already
agreed to its provisions.
