A dispatch from Lewiston says;
"R. P. Hall, an old Occur 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 hne
-four gold in the river sands, and ap,
parently works perfectly. An assay
from the tailings of the machine
shows hardly a trace of the yellow
metal, although the gravel washed
has an assay value of about vi a yaro'
The device is simple, consisting OF
an amalgamating box, through which
all the fine sand bearing gold is run
Tn the box are number OF silver
mates coated with mercury, on wnlcl
the gold is deposited. The prlncl

over the plates, the number of which
can be multiplied indefinitely.
In tue machine in use eight plates
are used, these being placed one on
top of the other, until the box is
filed. Mr.. Hall has been working
on his invention two years, and is
confident that he has it perfected.
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 permlnt the use OF
much larger machines, and Is de-
signed to excavate the gravel, feeo
it into the gold machine and dispose

+ The elevator, besides furnishinl
gravel, will also furnish the neces

fIENDISH MURDER
and ROBBERY
Paymaster's Team Dynamited and
$500 Stolen Near Washington,Pa
ONE KILLED; ANOTHER DYING

Washington, Pa, Sept. 26.-One of
the most fiendish and blood-thirsty
murders and robbery in the history of
Washington county occurred on the
Middletown road, about 15 miles from
here. Samuel T. Ferguson, of the Fer
guson Construction Company, of Pitts
burg, was instantly killed, and his sec
retary. Charles l.. Martin, of Cincin.
natl, was fatally injured. The two
men were driving along the road in
buggy, carrying $4,000 in cash with
which to pay off some of their men
emplNed on construction work along
the line of the Wabash railroad. when
suddenly an explosion of dynamite in
the roadway literally tore the rig TO
pieces. killed Ferguson outright and
threw Martin 200 feet and tearing his
left arm almost from the socket 1t
has been learned that two men, sup.
posed TO be Poles, placed the dynamite
in the road for the purpose of killing
Paymaster Ferguson. and had arrang-
ed to explode it by means Of an cleo
trio battery. The satchol containing
the money is missing.
Two suspects are under arrest in
the camp of the construction com
pany near the village.
Louis IAggett, whose farm bounds
the road at tic scene of the crime,
quiCll" ran to the edge of Che bluff,
o.; H., r,,pni p
past him to the north over the hill
carrying a satchel l.iggett was afraid
to give chase. as the man had a drawn
revolver in his hand and showed that
he would not be taken easily. Liggett
then ran down over the hill tn the
road. where a grewsome sight pre-
sented itself. In the middle of the
road was torn a hole IL feet long,
seven feet wide and four feet deep,
showing where the dynamite got in
its deadly work.
SO quickly was everything accom-
plished that the men who are impli-
Gated got away with their booty be-
fore they could be overtaken, although
the county authorities believe that II
the right men are not those under ar
rest they will have little difficulty in
taking them. Mrs. Ferguson, wife of
the murdered contractor, is in serious
condition as q result of the awful ira
gedy and there is some doubt as to her
recovery.
So far as developments in the murder
and robbery are concerned, there are
none. Absolutely no clue to the perpe'
traitors of the, dastardly deed has been
! unearthed, and the theories of the Off
cials are as vague as ever. Unles1
something is brought to light at tine
| inquest the likelihood of the apprehen-
sion of the murderer of Contractor S
| 7. Ferguson is slight.
Booltkeeper Charles Martin, who was
so seriously injured by the explosion
of the dynamite, was taken to the Ho-
moOpathic hospital at Pittsburg. and II
is believed his chances for recovery an
much better than seemed possible.

The action of the State in buy ing and setting
aside land acres as forest reserves will result
not only in the preservation of forestry and the
beauty of the landscape, but also in the produc-
tion of full rain tal the retention of moisture,
the flowing of springs, the constancy and cool
ness of small streams, the growing Of vegetation
throughout the warm season in those areas, the
restoration of game and of song and inscctlvorors S
birds, the decentralization Of the trout, the abol-
ton of such sudden, high and disastrous floods,
and tie preservation of the bass, pckerel, and
other desirable fishes Are these not worthy OF

great need of a free brdg &c across the Susque-

relations ofSnyder county people are with Sun
