THE ASSAyER'S DELIGHT
An Invention of ]. Q. A. King fer
 "Pulping" Ore Samples.

The desire % avoid work in hot weather throws one back on his men tai resources and develops a genius sometimes that was previously not even suspected This introduction eX plains the impulse that prompted J. Q. A. King. of this city, to invent a ma chine that might well be named "The Assayer's Delight" Patents have been applied for and if the new invention fails tc be put to practical use in every assay office in the country, at an early day, it will be because the assaycIs $ are very shy on capital or are more fond of work than most people.
 The invention in short is a mcChan- ism for reducing ore samples to pulp ready for assaying and practically the same process is uscd' as the hand re- ducticn now generally employed. only the Implements of reduction arc larger and are rigged for opera tiOn hv cleo tric power instead of elbow grease. In tho old way the grinding up of a dozen samples by hand in q mortar or m q Hat piece of iron with q piece of q steel rail for a grinder was a slow and back breaking pro cess and it must be ad- mitted was q mighty small improve mcnt on the method employed by the prehistoric people for making four or breakfast food. And when that sort of a prospect confronted MT King during the hot weather last summer he re- solved to use his brains more and his muscle less in the future.
 He therefore constructed a duplex or double machine. which enables him to pulverize two samples at once by gear

SORRY FOR TOM HORN
Deputy Marshall Uttins Whose Life
 He Saved.

There is at least one sympathizer in the United States with Tom Horn, the alleged murderer who the dispatches of day before yesterday said must be hanged. Deputy United States Marshal Charles Utting is the man who has d friendly feeling for him and says that he does not believe that a man with so kind heart as Tom Horn has could be guilty of the crime charged against him.
 Tom Horn saved the life of MT. Ctt- ing in the course of the Spanish war. Mir. Irtting was q member of the Rough Riders ard Horn was the chief of packers About the middle of July in the campaign in Cuba and day or two after the fight at Las Guasimas, MT. Utting was lyning in the hospital and believed that hc would never leave it alive. One day Horn passed through the hospital and noticed him. He had never seen him before but there was something about the sick man that at tractcd his ttention. he asked him where he had come from. When MT. Uttfng replied that his home was in Arizona. Horn who had lived for some time in the southern part of this ter Arizona man.. lie bundled him up and took him to his camp and nursed him back to life. Horn was as attentive to him as if he had becn professional nurse and was kinder to him than the average professional nurse would have been.
 It is easy therefore for MT. Utting t6 believe that horrible mistake was made when such a man was charged with the murder of q thirteen-year-old boy at the instance of a cattle com pany which desired in that way to dis courage settlers.
