Ores containing free gold which is
at all coarse, cannot be successfully
treated by cyanidation, as the coarse
PARTICLES Of gold will not dissolve in
the solution. Scuh ores should first
be amalgamated, and subsequently the
tailings may be cyanided, if they con-
tain sufficient values to warrant it
and 1t is found the material is amen
able to the process
The grade of mill plates is variable,
ranging from IA inches per foot to
211S inches or over. Heavily sulphur
cited ore requires heavier grades than
lighter quartz, comparatively free
from sulphides or other substances Of
nigh specific gravity. The amount of
water employed in the battery, also
has an important influence ON the
amount Of grade given the plates A
large volume Of water with heavy
grade is almost certain to result in
securing. Many millmen divide their
plates into "A series of steps. Tho
height Of drop should be about =
inch, as greater drop will cause
securing.
without doubt. the order of drop"
of stamps in battery has an import
ant influence ON the capacity of the
battery, If not also on amalgamation.
If the stamps are allowed to fall in
the order /, 2, 3, 4, ., it would result
in the pulp being all driven toward
the end Of the battery where No. . is
located. 1t is the aim of the mill
man to have an even distribution of
pulp in the battery at all times, and
this is accomplished to great extent
by the sequence Of drop of the stamps.
The two methods most in vogue are
|, 3,5, 2, and /, 4, 2, D., 3. Beside
these /, ., 2, 4, aud /, 3, 8, ., are
also often used. In various regions
the number Of stamps per mortar
varies all the way from u single stamp
to eleven stamps, but lon expert ence
has demonstrated that the most salts.
factory results are obtainablc with
five stamps per mortar where moro
than two stamps are employed.

THE RECORD ASSESSMENT
This Years Valuation of Oregon
Property the Largest.

From what can be learned in un-
official advices, from the different
counties Of the state, it seems proba-
BILE that the total value Of the tax
able property Of the state as shown by
the assessments recently completed,
will be in the neighborhood Of l75,
900, 900, says a special from Salem.
This will be in round numbers $25,
600, 900 greater than last year.
From almost every county comes
the report that valuations are being
advanced and that new property is
being added to the assessment rolls,
so that the total increase for the en-
tire state will be large
The highest assessment ever made
in Oregon was that Of 1893, when the
total valuation was over $lG8, 600, 600
The valuation had grown 70 that sum
by stendy advances from $S4, 000 coo
in 1887. From 1898 onward the
counties began to vie with each other
in reducing the assessments in order
to escape a portion Of the burden Of
state taxes. The state taxes were ap-
portioned among the counties in pro
portion to fhe assessed valuation and
as each county controlled its own as
sessment, it could gain something by
reduction. In 1900 this process Of re-
duction had brought the total assessed
valuation down to $ll7, COO, 600 In
order to put stop to this rivalry in
reducing assessments the legislature
Of 1901, passed an act providing that
state taxes should be apportioned
among the counties at n fixed ratio.
The beneficial results Of this change
was seen the first year, for the total
assessment that year was $1Il, 600, 600,
and in 1902 It had grown to over
$l4S, 000, 600. If it shall reach $l75,
600, 600 this year, as it now seems
probable, the yauation will then be
the highest in the history of the state.

Race Suicide" as Viewed by b
Woman.

OF late have read various articles
in regard to race suicide. In these.
woman is charged with having lost
the God-given desire to become a
wife and mother. Various reasons
are assigned for this, but have not
seen what believe to be the greatest
cause Of this loss. Is 1t not because
our nation has refused to protect the
home that the American woman re-
fuses to become wife? She has
wept, prayed and petitioned our state
and national governments TO throw
around the home Of this country,
some protection from the greatest
curse this world has ever known
But intead Of granting her request
"this land OF the free and home of
the brave" has gone into partnership
with the home destroyer, so the only
reply weeping, petitioning woman
hood receives is; Go help make
homes. be patient, bear children, and
each year we will only lay about
100, 600 of them in drunkards' graves,
and we cannot tell just how many of
them we will place in almshouses,
county jails, penitentiaries and insane
asylums.
II is not because woman loves n
poodle dog more than baby that
she chooses the dog, but IL she pays
the tax and puts collar on her dog
she is protected by the law from the
dog-slayer. But tell me, il you can,
how mother can protect her boy?
She went down to the gates Of death
to give him birth. She counts this as
naught for the JOY that a man child is
born. She watches over him, sleep
ing and waking, warns him OF the in
toxicating cup, but it availeth not.
Ere the blush Of youth has left his
cheek, she sees him offered a sacrifice
on the altar Of his nations greed.
What wonder that woman buys ranch,
goes into sheep raising instead of
raising boys? Wool growers are pro-
tected, and il the wolves should
abound our government would pay so
much per head for their destruction.
But the destroyers of our sons is pro.
tected by law; his business is legal
lied. When the voters of the country
make the raising of children safe
business, then will our daughters be-
come wives and the joyful mothers of
children. land the streets Of the city
shall be full of boys and girls playing
in the streets thereof. "-Elizabeth A.
