High School Entertainment.

Appropriate thanksgiving exer- cises were held in most of the de- partments of the Nogales schools last Wednesday afternoon. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the children showed great in- terest and performed their parts most excellently.
 The high room rendered a well prepared program consisting of re- citations, dialogues and music to a crowded audience in a manner that reflected much credit upon the per formers.
 Many of the pupils of the various departments brought small contri- buttons which were later distributed among the needy.
 The visitors present were the Misses Ashley, Gayou, Pellegrin, Saxon, Futile; Mesdames Ashley, Bird, Cooper, Christ, Dessart, Fow- Ter, Gordon, Gustetter, Jimmie, Kersey, King, Modie, Marleau, Mercer, Matthews, Purdy, Pearson, Reud, Rinehart, Richmond, Rich ardson, Sumner, Titcomb, Under wood.

a Jesuit Placer Gold Machine of Anti
 quity.

What is supposed to be placer gold machine, such as was in use by the ancients, who seemed to have worked so much of this country over for gold, together with num- erous metates which were used in pulverizing gravel, etc., has been uncovered by J. G. King, near the Prudential NJ. X D. Co.'s holdings. The machine, of the bellows variety, seemed to have been worked on a principle of mechanism greatly simplified and foreign to those ma chimes of modern construction. Upon the same principle and of the same capacity, say two or three tons daily, Mir King has construct ed a machine, complete, which is of only five pounds weight, occupying no more space than an ordinary gold pan for packing about. Its movement for separating the heavy matter from the lighter is at the rate of six hundred strokes of the bellows per minute. Such must have been in the hands of the workers nothing more than play thing for either men. women or c children.
 Their device was constructed of the lightest of wood, cedar or juniper, and contained no parts that could not have easily been replaced with a jack knife.
 The revised edition" will prob ably be patented and bring upon the market very low priced pros pecting and placer mining machine of but little remembrance to carry about.
