An Electric Gold Extractor.

Prof. A. H. Perry, of St. Louis, an
 electrician who has devoted many
 years to scientific research, has brought
 to the city two electrical machines, his
 own inventions, for extracting gold
 from dry sands and gravels.
 Static electricity is employed, for the
 generation of which he uses the i'm
 proved Toepler machine An insulated zinc plate is placed within the induct- i've influence of the machine and charged with a current of 60,000 volts
 A copper feed plate is arranged at d slight inclination and placed on frame within the inductive influence of the first plate: on this gold-bearing sand is placed. This feed plate is vibrated by electricity and regulated to feed at any desired speed. The operation of the machine is such that when the cur rent is turned on the zine receiving plate becomes charged with positive electricity and the feed plate becomes charged negatively by induction. The result is, as every electrician knows. that every particle of gold on the feed plate is repelled from it and at the same time attracted by the receiving plate, and thus the repellant and at tractive forces are brought to act in conjunction in bringing the gold over and collecting it on the receiving plate, where some of the flour gold adheres. while the remainder, with all the heavier gold, slides down the face of the receiving plate and falls into the receiving trough below.
 This machine is conceded by elec- tricians and miners to be very far in advance of anything ever before pro- duced in gold mining machines. both in a scientific and practical sense. The machine has been submitted to many crucial tests in the presence of many competent men who have devoted their lives to getting gold, and has proven that it perfectly meets the con litiOns of the dry process. No water or chem icals are used-nothing but the unseen but immeasurable power of electricity.
 The features that seem to commend the machin: most are that it's capacity is practically unlimited; it is automatic in it's action it costs only about 20 to p cents per day. and will collect and save the finest flour or lightest leaf gold that can be found. It is easy to predict that many thousands of these machines will soon be in use in Arizona.

Electric Freaks.

Bedding, Cal, June 7.-One of the strangest freaks of cleo trical phenomena that have ever been reported in Northern Cali fornia occurred last evening" A brilliant ball of fire shot from the heavens and struck the ground on a farm two miles east of Anderson. The illumination was plainly visible in Bedding, thirteen miles distant A few seconds after the descent of the fire ball there was 8 loud report as of a mighty explosion. The shock was felt in Bedding, where windows rattled and houses shook. In the town of Ander- son the people were panic stricken, glass in windows was smashed, walls were broken, houses rocked as though tossed by earthquake, and telephone, telegraph and electric light wires were put out of action for time. Where the ball of fire struck, the ground was badly torn up, and the inhabitants of the farm, who lived about half a mile from this spot, were shaken.
 The phenomenon had all the appearance while falling of a brilliant meteor, but was accom- panied by roar like thunder, and there is no meteOric matter where it struck. In Bedding the fuse ropes in the central tele phone office were all blown out almost simultaneously with the report, and the operators were badly frightened.

The rlorenCi Strike.

The reports of the situation at Mo- renci are somewhat conflicting, but let ters received here from members of Co. H indicate that there is not likely 10 be further trouble, but that the boys will be held there until mine operations have been resumed and all matters ad- jusled on permanently peaceful basis. A press dispatch from Morenci, how ever, seems 10 contradict this. l. is dated June l6, and states that the mili- tia expects to leave Thursday and that the Third infantry will be sent to Mo- renci from San Francisco, giving the inference that federal troops are to be there until all probable trou- blo with tbe miners Is over.

Railroad Valuations.

The total assessed valuation Of rail- road property for 1903 is $6, 449, 552. 78, being an increase of $I.45l, 718. .46 over that of 1909. This increase is due to the exemption expiring under which the Gila Valley. Globe & Northern, United Verde &, Pacific and 203 miles of the Fl Paso X Southwestern rail- roads were constructed. and to the amount of taxes to be paid by the Santa Fe Pacific railroad company, whose road is to be taxed at the rate of S175 per mile of main track. This is the tax fixed by act of congress, approved June =, 1902, and it is estimated that this tax is equivalent to an assessed valua- tion of 5000 per milo

 The Yuma Valley Union Land and Water Company have had their new suction dredge in operation for several days at their canal heading three miles below town, and doing good work. From all appearances the land under this canal is assured of plenty of water for all time, as the new dredge seems to be just what was needed. It was built by the Byron Jackson Machine Works of San Francisco.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they can net reach the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused Icy an infamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out Of ten are caused by catalrb, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

l0FHnlan.

The Sentinel is proud of the Yuma
 militia boys. They have been right to the front in the strike troubles and ap- pear to be carrying off the hCnors with as great facility as if experienced vet erans Below we print two letters from the ''front" which we are certain will be of interest to many readers:
 In letter under date of June 14th. Captain Donaldson, who is in command of Go. H, \. G. A, stationed at Moren- ci, has the following to say:
 First of all, we know very little of when you may expect Us home. As you know by the papers which get such things straight, we arrived here on the evening of the 10th, went into camp and stationed three companies or senti- nel duty. When we fiIst came in things looked ugly and we rather expected a nasty scrap with the three thousand armed strikers who were drawn up to watch US come in. Our boys watched them assemble very quietly and some people might have wondered what our untried militia boys were thinking, but their old captain knew too well of what metal Young America" is made. and when the order, Forward, double quick" came was not the least sur prised to see every man respond with double the alacrity displayed on drill; and the strikers stood ground just long enough to take a good look at the drawn bayOnets, then turned and seat tered up the hill. Co. H has sixteen prisoners to her credit and some of them will surely get better acquainted with Yuma. Work has been resumed at several Of the camps, but affairs are very unsettled yet; and while no fur ther trouble is anticipated, l believe the authorities are wise in not hurry ing the troops away. There Is a bad foreign element here. as in most min ing camps. but stronger here than I have ever seen it elsewhere. We have about five hundred soldiers iregulars and militia and fifty rangers and dep uties, so we are ready for anything that may turn up. But indications are that the backbone of the strike was broken at the first blow and nothing remains but for matters to adjust them selves.

 car loads of farming implements and
 machinery, consisting of reapers, mow- CTS, disc harrOws, and one header and steam harvester, which is an illustra-

A Box of Old Coins Unearthed.

A box of coins supposed to have been buried hy the Tories during the revo- lutionary period was recently yunearthed by laborcrs working cn one of the eastern railroad, but as the coins were about two centuries old they would probably have no more value today than many of the remedies compound ed for stomach, liver and bowel disord- CTS. It is therefore necessary. if you want to recover your health, to be careful in the selection Of medicine that will restore the appetite, purify the blood. ana cure headache, indiges- tion, dyspepsia, constipation or liver and kidney troubles. You will make no mistake if ycu try Hostetter's Stomach Bitter5 because it will posi- lively cure these diseases. Hundreds of people have voluntarily testified to this fact during the past fifty years.

By the kindness of Dr. Bailey we are enabled to publish portions of q private letter from w. II. Shorey, who is with Co. H at Morenci, under date of June II. Mir. Shorey writes interestingly as follows;
 "Things were quite shaky, they say before we came. The sheriff and ran gers were too small in number to cope with the mob of foreign strikers: they were afraid to make arrests for fear of mob violence. Threats to burn the town and blow up buildings were com mon. The day before we came, 5G0 Italians attacked a dozen rangers at the company mill and boodshed was only averted by shutting down and abandoning the mill. People were afraid to look crossways at the strikers; everything was at a standstill; trains stopped mile out of town-or, rather no trains were running, but the train that brought us stopped mile out and we expected to have to fight our way into town.
 Of the troops ordered to Morenci- - which included five companies of regu- lars-six companies of the National Guard arrived first, two days anead of the regulars. Co. H of Yuma arrived iirst--on two fiat cars next to the en- zine. Co. H marched into town first, followed in order by Cos. A of Thatcher, B of Phoenix, C of Tempe, E of Mesa and lst Troop of Nogales.
 Of course people, mean white peo- ple-were glad to see Us march in. Why wouldn't they be? The town had been in state of anarchy. Immedi- ately our colonel (McClintock) placed the town under martial law and, backed up by our boys the sheriff and rangers arrested all disorderly strikers, and a feeling of security reigned. The leader of the strikers is & Roumanian anarch- ist called "Threc-F Fingered Jack''-a natural born agitator, who gambles for a living.
 During our stay we've been ordered out in a body Once-the second day. The rangers had requested 9 crowd of several hundred strikers. on q hill on the right of town. to diSperse: on their refusal, assistance was asked of Colonel McClintOck. The assembly" was sounded by our Bugler Romero and six companies marched dOuble-quick to the top of the hill. Our colonel led on horseback, and ordered the men to dis perse and go to their homes, backing it up by the order, Fix bayonets." The last order was unnecessary as the crowd melted away like snow in hot sunlight. This was the only time that trouble has seemed imminent, and show of force was all that was neces- sary to break the spirit of the rioters.
 There are five companies of regulars here who haven't had thing to do but enjoy themselves. 1 presume they'll be ordered away seen. Weu be the last to go, as we have to guard the mines, which will start up as fast as men can be secured"
