OIL OF GOLD.
Wonderful Reduction Procers Reported From
Colorado.

o. r. Neubarth, one of the largest and
Oldest grocers OF Leadville, Col. has been
Experimenting for six years with a Sc
cret process on gold ore, and now claims
to have discovered the means of securing
the oil OF gold. He modestly shows
what he can do and does not seem to re-
alize what his discovery means IL 1t can
be put to use on large scale.
Taking ore from mines thst fire assays
show only yield a trace to the ton. Mr..
Neubarth shows returns Of $50 to sl75 to
the ton. Assays made by local assayers
show that Mr. Neubarths buttons from
his process are pure gold.
His formula is a secret but his exper-
ments are made with very simple ap-
paratus reducing the ore through forty
mesh screen. 1t is then mixed with the
chemicals and water and subjected to ag-
itation for fifteen minutes to an hour,
and then allowed TO settle, the gold being

brings the metal state.
Mr. Neubarth does rot discredit fire as
\ says for gold, but claims the discovery
#gets the oil of gold which is otherwise
Nlost. He also figures that ore can be
Mtreated on a commercial basis for IS to
%Nn a ton. The discovery. which has just
ben made public, has brought flocks of
#1nfners to his place to see his work.

MINES AND MINING.

Leasers are taking out high-grade ore
from the North Star mine at Austin,
Lander county.
A model of the Pamlico mine, in Es-
meralda county, has been sent TO San
Francisco to be added to the Nevada min
eral exhibit. The model is a beautiful
one. 1t cost $500.
What is regarded as the richest strike
made in Yavapai county, Arizona. during
the past decade was made last week,
when sample ore running as high as s12.-
600 to the ton was discovered in the First
Home mine.
One of the richest sections in the world
is the district of Santa Eulalia in the
State of Chihuahua. There are more than
200 mines in the vicinity of the little town
and during the past 1870 years $430, ,000, 900
has been extracted in various metals
There are about 600 horses hauling ore
from Tonopah to the railroad. The To-
nopah Company is extracting more ore
in doing development work than the
teams can haul out at present, and there
are fully 10000 tons piled up on the
dumps.
Prehistoric mines have been found in
great numbers In the vicinity of Jerome,
Arz. The United Verde is known to have
been worked In crude way many CEN
turies ago. and there are evidences that
aborigines worked other mines now be-
ing developed by modern processes. The
early races used the brilliant colorings
to be found in the carbonites and oxides
for war paint.

Bankruptcy Petition Withdrawn.

End of Attempt to Scare Reformer Pub
fishing Company Into Submission to
Observation-Disclosures Statement from
Z. IL. Davenport.
AS expected the bankruptcy petition
against the Reformer Publishing Com
pany, once continued against our protest,
and returnable at Burlington last Tues
day, was not heard, the petitioners with
drawing just before that time. If ii had
not been 1t would surely have been
thrown out of court, for it was simply a
sort of blaCkmail attempt to scare into
payment of claim, of which at least
liVe-sXths was cheat. We were all ready
to prove this beyond peradVenture in
court, and had plenty of appetite for the
chance; but the petitioners, finding the
scare wouldn't work, after making sew
eral offers of compromise, which were
refused as often as presented to me, final
ly turned up with an offer to accept what
was honestly due, and what We had at
any time been ready and willing to pay,
and this We paid because we couldn't con-
sistently refuse
OF course the lawyers who filed the
petition mad no way of knowing the char
acter of their clients claims. But they
did know there was not a word of truth
in IL when IL was set up as an "act of
bankruptcy that there had been a dis
tribution of the proceeds of the sale of
the plant to preferred creditors with in

David Marlborough Caught on a

One Leg So Horribly Mutilated That it

Daniel Marlborough, a young man,
was seriously injured at the Blake &

He was employed at the time on the
paper machine and caught his overalls
on a set screw on a rapidly revolving
shaft. This wound his leg around the
shaft, mutilating it so that amputation
was necessary about two inches be-
low the knee joint. The prompt ac-
ton OF men standing nearby in stop

young mans parents are dead and he

Excellent Work Done by Y. M. C. A.
Physical Culture Classes.


If any doubt was entertained by
those who attended the gymnastic en-
tertainment in the Auditorium We'd
nesday evening as to the excellence
of the physical culture work that is
being done by the Y. NJ. c. A. classes it
was dispelled by the exhibition which
they witnessed. Entertaining as was
the exhibition a year ago, Wednesday
evenings program was an improve
ment in respect to both the variety of
work and the accuracy and precision
OF movement. There was a good at
tendance, and the program was well
carried out. Many of the feats perform
ed are rarely undertaken except by
more pretentious organizations, and
they gave evidence of untiring effort
on the part of Physical Director Harry
r. Horton and the members of the
classes. Leitsinger's orchestra of six
pieces rendered IA numbers during the
evening in a rarely pleasing way.
The baton drill by eight young ladies
was very pretty and well done. The
young ladies wore gymnasium suits
and carried black batons with silver
balls and tips. Colored lights were
used in this number, as we'll as the
last number, the intricate Indian club
drill by seven young men, which was
one of the best numbers on the pro-
gram. In this drill the young men
wore white duck suits. The horizontal
bar work was particularly worthy of
mention. There was almost continu-
GUS applause from the audience dur
ing the maze running by the seniors.
Frank A. Crosier astonished the audi
ence by his clever baton swinging,
substituting a gun for a baton in the
encore. Bixbys somersault and tum-
bling work In the acrobatic sketch and
Ellis's clown work in the same num-
Der were of high order.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Value Estimated from $4,000
to $4,000.

Great Difference of Opinion on Value
of Old School Property Which
Probably viii be Sold for the
Parochial School.
The principal interest in town meet
ing next Tuesday will be in the ques-
ton of terms of sale of the old High
school building to the Roman Catho-
lie diocese for parochial school pur-
poses. No opposition to it's disposal
has developed, the only question being
the price. Various opinions are ex-
pressed, ranging from $4,000 to $25.-
600 The buildings and land have cost
about $4,000. There being so wide
variance on the question of price it is
probable resolution will be intro
.duced authorizing the board of select
men and the board of school directors
to convey it upon such terms as may
seem wise to them an open town meet
ing not being the best place for jul
dicious fixing of terms. As affecting
price, the committee of the church
claim their members have helped pay
for it. A careful analyzation of the
grand list shows that, of last years to-
tai valuation, the property of Catholics
in town amounts to only SIS per cent
of the total property appraisal If the
poll tax is added, it increases the per-
centage of taxes paid by Catholics to
IA they paying upon S305. 675 out of a
total grand list of our town of $4.109.-
447. The records of the church show
6S baptisms of children during the
past year. This indicates that the
growth of schools amounting to about
one school per annum will increase
the expense to the Catholics much
more rapidly than to the Protestants.
The report of the superintendent of
schools shows an enrolment of resi-
dent pupils in the town of 1866, and
out of town pupils, 81. Of these. 1876
are in the High school and $50 in the
lower grades of the village, a total in
the village of 906. OF these, it is esti-
mated that parochial schools will take
nearly or quite 800.
