once Courteous1y and ask for a re-
sample. 1t will always be made
and without extra charge. Of
course mistakes may occur, but
the chances are a thousand to
one that it will be in your sample
and not in that of the Smelter. It
IS their business to sample cor
rectly. An error in that part of
their work is felt as a disgrace,
Just as would be a mistake in ad-
dition in a bank clerk, and the
man who makes it is instantly
discharged. 1t is always advis-
able in shipping small lot of
rich ore, to request the Smelter
not to use it until you have had
the opportunity to examine the
returns and accept them. This
IS often done. Above all things
make complaint courteously, and
never fail to acknowledge it when
the returns as they often wilD
exceed your own expectations.
AS to prices remember that no
smelter can afford to pay as high
a price proportionately for a
small lot of ore as for a large one;
do not expect it. Remember
again that the reduction company
depends for its business and pro-
fits on the consignments of your
self and other miners, that the
small producer of to-day is often
the large producer of tomorrow,
and that it wants your mineral
and is always ready to pay as
high a price for it as its business
necessities will permit.

TON OF GOLD.
What the Money Value is of That Much Metal

A correspondent asks this paper
for the value of a ton of gold, to
settle controversy, says the PC.
Miner. This is a frequent topic
of inquiry and dispute, and many
different and confusing state
mentS are made about a ton of
gold. The confusion arises from
the difference between troy and
avoirdupois weights, but con-
fusion is unnecessary.
A ton contains 4, 900, 900
grains. A grain of fine gold is
worth S.045066522. Hence a ton
of fine gold is worth So, 029, 1854
Gold, as it is mined or used by
man, is practically never fine, and
the value of a ton of gold as it
comes from the mine or the mint
would have to be calculated from
the degree of fineness.
A ton of $40, or other United
States gold coin, being 900 fine,
would be worth 90 per cent, of
fine gold value, S5, 426, 356.57. No
account is taken of the slight
theoretical value of the alloy
Gold worth SIS per troy ounce,
the price paid by merchants and
bankers in many California dis
tricts, is 81 fine, and at this mar
ket rate a ton would be worth
81 per cent of the fine gold
value. Klondike gold comes
down by the ton" frequently,
according to newspapers. It gen.
orally runs from 700 to850 fine

they always take extra preCau-
tiOnS for their protection. It is
the same with SmelterS. There
was a time, twenty years or more
ago, when there were just causes
for suspicion of a few concerns,
whose managers were unSCrupul-
Gus. But there is absolutely no
foundation for such ideas now.
The standing of the well known
smelters is today as high as that
of any banking concern that ever
existed. They could not afford to
have any other kind of reputa-
ton. Sample your ore before
shipping, ship it in proper condi-
tion and with due regard to all
the business fornalities, get du-
plicate bills of lading from the
railroad, keep one of these and
mail to the Smelter, and then
await the returns in peace. If
the weights and assays do not
come up to your own, write at

that the Compromise is consider
ed a bonanza when an interest
may be sold at most any time for
a handsome sum when at the
same time knowing the property
to be in litigation. This is the
property for the possession of
which Dye & Childers are now
suing and whose claim will be
heard at the December sitting of
of the District court at Socorro.
A spirit of move seems to have
struck this camp, and nothing
can stop it, the decree has gone
forth and we must move. The
resources are known and capital
is after the results.

AN EIGHTH INTEREST IN THE
FAMOUS COMPROMISE SOLD.

Wayne Van Schoyck, who is
interested in a number of mining
properties in this and the Gallina
district has just purchased an
eighth interest in the Compromise
Mine from Harry c. Crary.
H. c. Crary will be remembered
by the EAGLE readers as the
original discoverer of the rich ore
bodies of this property, and the
party who purchased the pros
pect from Jones Taliaferro for
the sum of 81 800. The EAGLE
has not learned the consideration
for which Mr.. Crary closed out
his interest, but understands it to
have been well up in figures.

The coal output at Blossburg
is only limited by the lack of
miners. There are now about
four hundred men at work at the
Gardiner and Blossburg mines,
but General Manager Van Hous-
ten says he could put three hum
dred more skilled miners to work
at once as they have the demand
for the coal and the mines are
sufficiently developed to admit of

HOW TO SELL ORE.
Some Hints as to Proper Methods of Dealing
with Smelling Concerns.
Mining Reporter

Mining Reporter
Rich ore when shipped to a
Smelter should always be sampled
at the mine and sacked, and its
true value declared to the railroad
that transports it. This may re-
suit in a higher shipping rate,
but then the carrying company
insures it, and will pay its value
in case of wreck, or IL case OF
stealing. But in reality there is
no danger of loss by stealing if
the railroad IS properly advised
of the high value Of the mineral.
There is much unnecessary worry
among miners about their ore.
Reputable transportation COM
panieS like the railroads cannot
afford to lose goods committed to
them. and in addition, when they
know goods are of high value

THEE YAoUIS STILL FIGHTING.

The Yaqui Indians of northern
Mexico are still giving that gov

There are at least 900 fighters
still engaged in the state of Sonora
according to estimates recently
made by the Mexican government.
They are divided into small bands
of 20 to 80 each and their mood
of warfare is similar to that prac-

ROBBED At END
Of LONG TRAMP
Youth Beaten by Thieves
After Walking From
the Atlantic.

After travelling nearly 1000 miles on a
wager Claude Bardon, aged II years, was
held up and robbed Of his last cent on
the water front Monday night. Bardon
appeared at the Central police station last
night and related the story of his ad-
ventures, after which he was given lodg-
ings in the prison.
According to Bardon's story he and a
companion named VIII Kimbal1 started on
foot from Portland, Me-, January last
and were to receive $1,000 if they succeeded
in crossing the continent and returning
within a year. BardOn says he undertook
the trip because of poverty. His father
and his mother perished with seventy
others in the wreck of the steamer Lady
Elder off the Maine coast some months
before
ramento, after having tramped from the
Atlantic shore. While there Kimball was
taken seriously iii and he was obliged 20
go to hospital Bardon came here with
>out his travelling partner and arrived late
Monday night on an Oakland ferry boat
Being stranger in the city he wandered
along East street in the direction Of North
Beach. When the lads commenced their
journey they were given 500. Bardon had
but IS left of his share when he stepped
from the boat.
AT point on East street, which Bardon
says was about two blocks from the ferry
building, the hold-up occurred. He was
beaten into tnsensibility by two men while
third robber went through his pockets
and took the money out Of them Bardon
lay where he fell until early yesterday
morning. When he recovered conscious
ness he says he started up Market street
and spent the day looking about the city
He suffered considerably from the effects
of the beating and having no money lie
decided last night to seek the aid of the
police.

Sport.
Young Frank Mcconnell
Stops Little in Two
Minutes.

The monthly exhibition Of boxing under
the auspices OF the Bay City Athletic Club
at Mechanics Pavilion annex last night
furnished all kinds of sport for the fol-
lowers of the game. OF the seven fights
three were knockouts, three went the
limit, and in the remaining one the sec
onds of the man getting the worst OF it
threw up the sponge.
The main event furnished the most
amusement. It was between Bob Moss
and Dick Glinke, two heaVyWeights:
The former won, although draw would
have been a fair decision Neither could
box, but the proverbiaI kick Of a mule
was not a marker to the blows each
could deliver. Wherever glove landed
The fight between Pete MCGEE and
Fred Bell was brought to an unr1nneIy
end in the third round MCGEE was
bleeding profusely from a cut over the
eye and was being gradually worn down
His seconds threw up the sponge TO save
him from unnecessary punishment Nc
Gee was surprised and angry When ne
found the fight had ended in favor OF
Bell and wanted to whip his seconds
Dick Cullen and Harry Forbes were the
went the full four rounds, Cullen getting
the decision on aggressiveness.
James Crom1ey lasted less than min
ute with Joe Angel. Cronley was no
down several times. He was Just able 70
respond to call Of time. He finally went
down and stayed QOWu
Barney DriscoH and Tom Ward went
four fast rounds, the former getting the
decision Both were tired when the end
came. It seemed either mans hight up
to the last moment.
