Collectors OF Mining Specimens
Greatly i'm Evidence.
Pilfering OF specimens and gold
dust has become so common at the
Kalgoorlie mines that it seriously
interferes with profitable mining OPP
erations. The efforts to prevent
such thefts by the rigorous searching
OF the persons Of the workmen have
proven Intellectual to prevent whole
sale thefts, and the evil seems to be
getting worse year after year.
Specimen stealing has become
science in which many workmen be-
come so adept as to defy detection
Many other gold districts are having
similar experience. At Cripple
Greek it is said that the practice has
existed on large scale, and at the
Telluride Ouray region, mine owners
have always had difficulty to prevent
much OF the products of their mines
from being carried off in this manner.
Many localities in California, Nevada
and Arizona have suffered in like
manner, and in some cases it has
been carried on so extensively as to
almost discourage gold mining. 1t is
a mistake to suppose that specimen
stealing is due to the Robin Hood
idea that it is all right to rob the
rich, or that it is due to any heresies
relating to the rights OF property in
general 1t often happens that
miners, otherwise honest, think il no
crime at all to steal quartz specimens
or gold dust, and there are many
merchants, and even bankers, in the
gold regions that make little secret
of handling crooked" gold. Mortars
and hand mills for crushing up quartz
are not uncommon in these regions,
and gold dust carries no mark to
define its ownership. The idea that
the stealing of specimen gold is not
really criminal is due to the fact tina
gold in its native matrix is real
estate, and under the od English
common law, real estate could not
be stolen. Many of the western
states, however, have special stat
utes making the stealing of any gold
dust or gold specimens from mine
grand larceny. Pacific Coast Miner.

Working Model of German Road
To BE Exhibited.

1t will be remembered that the fair
OF 1893, in Chicago exhibited to the
world no less than eight models OF
railroads which were shortly to be
constructed, and which we're guar
anteed to run at speed OF $50 miles
an hour and more. or all these pro
posed railroads, only one has vet
been put into practical peration,
and on a test made several days ago,
according to dispatch from Berlin,
a speed of l25 miles per hour was
attained.
Notice has just been received from
the Continental Company for Electric
Enterprises in Nuremberg, Germany,
that they will exhibit at the St.
Louis Fair a model of the suspended
railway system which is now in CD.
GRAFTON between the cities of Barmen,
Elberfeld and Vohwinksl, Germ, ny.
The model will be shown in opera ton
and the company claims that it will
clearly demonstrate the advantages
of the suspended system over the
ordinary elevated, underground or
surface railroad The model will
show the manner OF the construc ton
OF the road above a river and in the
streets, as well as the construc ton OF
switches and loops and the new auto.
matte block signal system, which
renders collisions impossible.

The Lobster Was Heavy.

From Mexico comes a story of an American wedding, in one of the cities there. Bride and groom, both Americans, had resided there some time, and are very popular with both natives and foreigners. The wedding was a grand affair, and was attended by large num- Der of guests of all nationalities. Among the bridesmaids were a couple of very pretty Mexican girls.
 One of the dishes at the wedding supper was a delicious lobster salad, of which the bride ate very freely.
 Meeting her next day one of the Mexican bridesmaids accosted the bride with the usual morning salu- tation in Mexico:
 Como paso usted la noche? ?" which being rendered into Eng fish is How did you pass the night2"
 "Oh, very we'll" was the reply, -'but that lobster laid upon my stomach all night"

British Columbia Mines.

Ore shipments for the past week
totalled 9490 tons; year to date, 1885,
7S5 tons.
Shipments of ore from the Boundary
mines were 1904 tons for the past
week, most of the mines sending out
a trifle less than usual, with the ex-
ception of the CRANKY group, which is
maintaining its output in good shape.
The Giant Mining company, of Ross
land, is planning to equip its property
with reduction works to save the CO.
bait and the molybdenum in it's ores.
Figures issued by the company indi-
dictate that the new field of enterprise
offers most substantial rewards.

concentrates produced at the LIE Roi

been forwarded to the Northport smell

cluded 60 tons of concentrates part or

of the shipment is the product Of the

Boiled mutton is not a poeticaI dish,
out 1t is good standby for the family
dinner. 1t appears much oftener on
the English tables than on American.
The leg on boiling should be quite
fresh. Wipe, remove all the fat and
put into kettle of well-salted boil
ing water. AS it begins to boil, skim
frequently then set back on the range
and simmer slowly, allowing twenty
minutes to each pound Of meat. A lit
tie rice is frequently boiled with the
mutton. Serve with a thick caper
sauce poured over the mutton and
currant jelly. The caper sauce LIS
merely drawn-butter sauce, made by
combining a scant half-cup of butter
with two tablespoonfuls of Hour In a
saucepan, adding when hubby one
pint Of the hot water in which the
mutton was boiled, seasoning to taste,
and adding at the least six tablespoon
fuls of capers or picked nasturtium
seeds.

Break into bowl the yolks Of three
eggs, add a pinch of red pepper, a tea
spoonful Of made mustard, teaspoon

the dressing as thick as cake batter,
alternating occasionally with few
drops of sharp vinegar. Finish by add
ing one cupful of thick cream-sweet
or sour.

Fourteen ounces Of white sugar,

teacupful Of milk, two ounces of
ground ginger, two tablespoonfuls Of
baking powder, one and half pound
of flour. Mix up in the usual way for
cookies. Sift sugar over before cut

best to make the dough for all kinds
of cookies and sugar cakes as soft as
1t can possibly be rolled out. Differ
ent persons make very different cakes
of these sorts from the same recipes,
and the common fault Is too much

der, too, is responsible for some Of
the changes. With too much powder
the cakes run into each other and lose

Hogs of 200 to $50 pounds weight
are best for family use In dresslne
a hog II should be SO hung that 1t can
be split down the back, and the sides
allowed to separate, the head being
cut off. The leaf and some other sur
plus fat should be removed at once.
This allows the meat to cool thorough
iy, and it is In good shape to handle.
The meat barrel should be kept in a
cool place without freezing. A good
way to keep the hams and shoulders
after being cured Is to slice and fry
ana pack in jars, covering with hot
lard. Fresh pork may be kept this
way in hot weather, but it must be
thoroughly cooked. While the cured
meat requires much less cooking to
preserve 1t.
Allow the hog to thoroughly cool be-
fore cutting, carefully trim hams and
shoulders and split the sides in two
lengthwise. Sprinkle bottom Of bar
rel with fine salt, and rub each piece
of meat with salt, Pack in barrel with
hams on the bottom, shoulders next
and sides on top. After three days
cover the meat with brine made as
follows: Water, gallons; salt, IL
pounds; sugar, 3 pounds; saltpeter, 3
ounces; concentrated lye, 8 teaspoons.
Boil all together and skim. After cool
ing, pour over the meat. Leave in
brine from four to six weeks, then
smoke as desired. The brine should
be strong enough to bear up an egg.

Farm Notes.

1t Is the seed that mostly exhausts
the land of plant food. A grass crop
that is allowed to produce seed takes
more from the soil in mineral matter
than two crops cut for hay while the
grass is young.
If a garden Is made on sandy soil,
especially in section where nearly all
the soil is sandy, the use of air-slacked
lime will be found very beneficial, as
such soils are deficient in lime. Gas
lime will not serve as a substitute for
stone lime, but shell lime is excellent
however, though the use of stone lime
should be preferred. The cost Is small
compared with the benefits derived.

A common sight In the agricultural
districts of Hungary Is two women
treading out grain by means of a
beam. The woman seated on the
ground takes a bundle of grain and
puts 1t under one end of the beam.
When the grain is is place the woman
leaning on the pole for support takes
a step backward which has the effect
of raising the broad, fat end of the
beam, and making the other end fall
In a hole made for that purpose. Then
a quick step forward, with some little
pressure, brings the thick end Of the
beam down on the wheat and fiattens
1t out SO effectually as to separate
the grain from the huska.
