ANOTHER FAKER.
Secret Process for Bxtrac ting
Gold From Barren Rock.

0OId FROM Barren ROCK.
The San Francisco Chronicle says
Colorado has produced another faker
who pretends, through the agency OF a
secret process to prod duce gold in large
quantities from rock which yields only
trace OF the precious metal to the ton
in fire assay. Il is not long since an
other OF his tribe imposed upon the
credulity OF Colorado capitalists by
making them believe that he had dis.
covered method OF extracting gold In
immense quantities from ore which
metallurgicsl assays proved to be bar.
rem. He deceived them 80 thoroughly
that they invested large sums in his
scheme. They supposed that ii open.
ed short cut TO untold wealth. The
faker's premature death resulted in
the exposure OF the fraud. The aurif-
erous buttons which he prod uced from
barren rock as con slncing proof of the
efficacy OF his process were found to
have been obtained from the precipita-
tion OF gold In solution, with which
the ore tested had bt en- sklllfully salted
during Its manipulation.
The Lead willie fsker, who now claims
to produce, through secret process
with which he has been experimenting
for six years, from $50 to sl75 per ton
in gold from rock which shows only a
trace In fire assay, is undoubtedly en-
ploying similar agent to obtain these
results. There is no process OF extrac-
tion known to science which will yield
all the metal contained In the ore rs
shown In an assay OF the same. A little
always escapes. From 3 to 8 per cent
OF the gold contents OF the ore subjected
10 the cyanide bath evades arrest, de-
spite the greatest care Of the operator.
II Is the same With all other processes.
An assay, II properly made, shows the
true contents OF the ore sample treat
cd. II Is assumed that It fairly repre-.
sents the entire body OF ore undergoing
reduction. III larger volume per ton
is extracted In the course Of reduction,
1t 10 because the sample sssayed was
poorer than the average OF the bulk
OF the ore passed through the mill, and
not because OF any special virtue in the
process Of reduction. When any one
assumes, however, that he can pro.
ducs by any given process volume of
metal largely In excess OF the assay
value of the rock, he may be put down
without hesitation as faker, who has
devised q scheme TO rob those who are
credulou enough to put their faith and
money into the enterprise which is be-
ing exploited on the strength OF the al
logged discovery. Fakers OF this kind
are not uncommon in all mining
countries, but, like Alfred Paraf, who
con vinced Chilean capitalists that he
could transmute copper into gold, and
coaxed millions out OF their pockets,
they usually come to grief through the
exposure, sooner or later, OF their
fraudulent method.

BOSS WEBER SPOKE.
And Told the Truth to Mr.. New

The Reno Gazette OF Monday last

The company is said TO have been a

and addressed the chair something
after the following:

PYRITIc SMELLING.

Description OF a Process Now
cominf into Common Use.
The Denver Mining Reporter has
the following regarding pyritic smelt-
ing and the character of ores which
can, and can not be successfully treat
ed by the process:
ut Is fact that true pyritic smelling
has not yet been entirely accomplished
(by true pyritic smelling Is meant the
fusion OF sulphide ores without the aid
OF other fuel than tie sulphur contained
In the ore itselfl, still runs of twenty
four hours at time have been made,
without amy outside fuel, but slight ir-
regulsrities compel a blowout, and 90
partial pyritic smelling, or the addition
OF some coke to the charge, is used at
present. Lsnge defines matte smelling
rs: The smelling OF ores composed Of.
containing. or giving rise to sulphides,
for the purpose Of collecting their values
with less quantity of artificial aul.
phides. Pyritic smelling, then, is sim.
ply q division under matte smeltiug, IN
that the roasting and smelling opera.
tions are carried on st the same time
In the same furnace.
1.-THE advantages to be gained by py-
ritic smelling are enormous, and II the
true process can be developed there
will be NO further fuel bills. AS 1t is,
they are reduced more than half.
There 10 no time wasted. or skilled Ia
Dor required, In roasting, and the ex.
ira expense Of building roasting plant,
just for the purpose Of destroying the
fuel which nature stored In the ore, is
avoided. The process Is not spplicsb

AS TO AsssssmENT WORK.
Re-Location Can Not Be Made
Until Former One Has
Fully Exnlfed.

The question, docs failure to do as
sessment work render q location void?'
has been answered by the United States
Circuit Court from three standpoints.
First--As to the United States, no.
Because the Government vill never
take advantage OF any default.
Second-As to third parties who have
established rights before re-entry Of
delinquent, yes.
Third-As to third parties who have
no established right, no. This inter-
essing question was ssttled 10 what is
known as the Meeker. Belk case.
. Neeker In 1872 located clsim. He
did not K ,ep up his assessment work In
1873 or 1874, but did In 1875 and failed
again In 1879. Belk went 90 the ground
and located over Meeker Ia December,
1879. Meeker returned and TOOK pos
session early 10 1877. ~
In trying the case the Judge decided
as above. Meeker's rights were good
up to 1875, under the third clause, but
Belk's location was good after. the
night OF December 81, 1875, by tne sec.
ond clause. Yet Belk had located over
Meeker In 1875, before Meeker's claim
actually became delinquent, and the
courts held that location could not be
made over claim not yet delinquent
and so acquire rights, which on Default
of the original claim would become alb
solute. This last decision makesit one
OF the necessities of q valid locEtion
that IL must be on free and unsppro-
priated land, and Meeker held his claim
even though he had allowed his assess-
ment work to lapse for nearly two
years. Te
The same rule holds good as TO loca-
tion work. Parties who enter upon q
mining claim already located and on,
the Goth day after Its location Fe'locate
the same, acquire no rights uader the
law and their location Is invalid AZ
against the rights of the former To-
Gator, who may again take up the
claim the following day or any day
thereafter, regard less OF the trespass-
ers' notice.

Attractixe Wonen.

All women sensibly desire to be attractive.
Beauty is the stamp of health because it is the
outward NANTES station of inner purity. A
healthy woman is always attractive, bright
and happy. When every drop of blood in the
veins is pure bounteous fush is on the
cheek. But when the blood is impure, morose-
mes :. bad temper and sallow complexion tells
the tale OF sickness, all too plainly. And wo.
men today know there is no beauty without
health. Wine of cardui crowns women with
beauty and attractiveness by making strong
and healthy those organs which make her a
9 woman. Try Wine OF Cardui. and in month
your friends will hardly know yon.
