CLE EVER WORK ATTRACTS
THEATTENTION OF MAGNATES.

The clever work Of P. J. Hines. local
amateur pitcher. has been attracting con-
siderable attention. Hearing Of his ability,
Manager Barrow Of the Detroit American
League tried to sign the youngster, but his
agents failed to reach him and Barrow had
to leave the city without him.
At the beginning Of the season Hines
signed to pitch with the Vicksburg team Of
the Cotton States League. Several other st.
Louis boys went with Hines as members Of
the team. As result Of dispute Billy
Earle released all the st. Louis players on
the team but Hines and the latter refused
to pitch any more games while Earle was
manager of the team
Hines, living up to his determination not
to play under Earle. left Vicksburg and re-
turned to st. Louis several weeks ago.
He Is now pitching for the White Seals,
one of the strongest amateur teams In the
city.

Hines established an enviable record. Ar.
rfvinS in Vicksburg on Thursday at the
beginning Of the season, he went into tho
box against the Natchez champions Of tho
Cotton States League and let the champs
down with three hits, shutting them out.
He repeated the trick the following Satur-
day. and the New Orleans team of the
Southern League Immediately tried to buy
his release. but the Vicksburg management
refused to sell.
Out Of twelve games pitched. Hines has
six shut-outs to his credit. At that, he haS3
other accomplishments. When Hines was
not twirling he was played In right field on
account Of his hitting abilities.
His batting average when he severed his
connection with the team was 1858, and as
he had played every day, his work with the
willow cannot be considered as merely q
batting streak.
Two weeks ago Hines pitched game
against the F1oerkes. a local amateur team,
and. besides shutting them out. famed four
teen batsmen. In the eame game he made
three hits out Of four times at bat, one Of
his drives being a home run and the long
est smash ever made at Kulage's Park.

Saves Fine Gold.

r. P. Hall, an old Coeur d'Alene
miner, has invented gold saving
machine, which he is testing on
the gravel bar at the junction of
the Snake and Clearwater rivers.
1t is specially designed to save the
fine flour gold in the river sands,
and APPARENTLY works perfectly. An
assay of the tailings from the ma
chine shows hardly a trace of the
yellow metal, although the gravel
washed has an assay value of about
81 a yard.
The device is simple, consisting
Of an amalgamating box, through
which all the fine sand bearing
gold is run. In the box are num-
Der of silver plates coated with mer-
curry, on which the gold is deposit
ed. The principle involved is that
every particle of the sand shall be
forced to touch not only the bottom
but also the top of these quick
silvered plates. By the use of in
direct currents the water and sand
are carried back and forth over
the plates, the number of which
can be multiplied indefinitely.
In the machine in use eight
plates are used, these being placed
one on top of the other, until the
box is filled, Mr.. Hall has been
working on his invention two years
and is confident that he has it per-
fected. The present machine is a
small one, but with an engine to
pump water, 15 tons day can be
handled by two men. He also
applied for a patent for an elevator
designed to be worked with the
gold saver. This elevator will
permit the use OF much larger ma
chimes, and is designed to excavate
the gravel, feed it into the gold
machine and dispose of the wastes
The elevator besides furnishing
the gravel, will also furnish thu
necessary water, and will dispose
of the tailings from the machine
which will be used to back fill be
hind the elevator shovels.

BIG CREEK DISTRICT,
Eastern Capital Coming, and
Properties Looking Well.

James Hand and w. N. Robin
son reached here Saturday evening
from Beaver creek where they have
large mining interests and have
been doing extensive work for the
past two years. Beaver Creek is a
tributary of Big Creek about 80
miles east Of Warren and the rich
discoveries made there during the
two years past is attracting eastern
capital and placing 1t in the front
ranks Of Idaho county's mining
camps. The county is abundantly
supplied with. timber and water
making It desirable place to work.
Mr.. Hand is . pioneer of the
camp and with Mr.. Robinson has a
large number of claims in the dis.
trict. They have bonded the Home
stake group to Louis G. VanRiper
Of New York who with his asso-
ciates have taken in large amount
of supplies preparatory to working
all winter. Mr.. VanRiper is also
interested in the Werdenhoff Com
pany whose properties are located
about four miles from the Home
stake. Ex-Governor Hunt is a
member Of the company and has
made two trips to the camp this
summer.
The Tip Top group owned BY
VIM. Butcher Is another valuable
property that is showing up well,
and the owner has had several
chances to bond it but prefers to
further develop it before placing it
on the market. The veins in this
district are from 2 to 60 feet in
width carrying good values which
increase rapidly with depth and are
of q character that can be treated
readily with mills and concen-
traitors.
The country is very broken SC
that nearly all properties can b.
developed by tunnels and but little
sinking will be necessary.
The gentlemen are greatly pleased
with the results obtained from theil
work and believe the camp is on
of the best in the state. There il
q great need of roads at presen
but with the advent Of capital the,
believe they will have something
better than pack trails within an
other year.
