HICKS TREATING
MACHINES TESTED.
Will be Put in Operation by
New Mexico Gold Ore
Company.

Inc HICKS rOIu ana silver EN-
traction company, Of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, gave test last week of it,
machine recently invented by DR..
Hicks for treating gold and silver
ores. The test was witnessed by q
number Of prominent mining people
and IL said to have been In every
way successful. The New Mexico
Gold Ore Treating company, under
whose auspices the Fort Wayne
exhibition was given, proposes to
put the Hicks machines In practical
operation at its mines.
Speaking ut some length on the
subject and enumerating the diff
culties heretofore encountered, the
Fort Wayne Morning Journal gives the
following description of the machine:
"To meet these varying conditions
DIR. Hicks has invented two machines
which. II IL believed, will prove of
inestimable value In the saving of
gold and silver. The first machine,
nm amalgamator, IL designed to
secure what IL known as the free
gold In ores. IL consists of there
annular plates placed one above the
other, loaded with liquid mercury
and with pendant pins extending to
IT, These plates move backward
and forward with an oscillating
motion. The ore properly crushed
and mixed with water Is fed In on
one side of the top pan and passes
over the surface of 10, where, owing
to the oscillating motion Of the
pan II II brought into contact with
the mercury. After having passed
over the first pun IL flows out at the
opposite side and then passes over
the second and third pans In the
same manner. The advantage of this
machine IL the large amount of anal
gamating surface To which the ores
ARE exposed In passing over the
three plates, while the constant
agitation makes II almost impossible
but that ut some point In the tran
sition the free gold will not be
brought into contact with the
mercury.
From this amalgamator the pulp
IL carried into the conccntrator where |
the gold which II 81 mixed with baser
metals as not to In susceptible to
the amalgamating influences of mer.
curry IL separated from the matriX ar
valueless portion of the ore. II IL
hardly possible to give description
of this machine 81 as To make II in
telligihle In the reader who has not
examined Il. Suffice tn say that the
plan upon which all concentratorsI
work Is that adopted by the farmer
when hc shakes his basket of apples ,
In order tn make the big ones come
tn the top.
The Hicks concentrator Is II
circular machine, having u number
of annular pans. The pulp is fed |
into u hopper aud from there il goes
into four pipes or iiues 81 as To be
fed at four equi distant points of
the pans near the outside, These

The simplicity and cheapness of dress is due
any lack of vanity, but to the poor circumstances
under which the majority of the Russians live.

OILED STREETS A SUCCESS.

So fine are the natural streets of Wichita, eleven
months out of the year. that there is good deal of
hesitancy, if not of objection to going to the ex
pense Of paving resident streets with anything so
costly as asphalt or even vitrifed brick. As for
macadam, the stone of this section does not wear
well In many states more especially in California
streets. park drives and country roads are
being treated with crude oil with satisfactory results
The process is past the experiment stage. An ex
change says that thousands of miles of streets and
roads are attesting the valuee of the oil process
Many counties in California letting contracts
for oiling country roads. The oil works equally well
on sandy, gumbo clay soils. After few appli-
cations the oil forms crust which in avoiding pos
sible dust sheds the rain so that the roads
either dusty or muddy. and while solid are still elias
tic The writer referred to states that the cost of
treatment Of mile of road for three years, at the
present price Of oil will not exceed $780, of which
onehaf viii be expended the first year. The best
results have been obtained where two applications
were made the first year. one the second and one
the thord After that it is only necessary to keep the
road in repair. At a recent convention of Califor
MAS municipal officers, the city engineer Of Fresno
where streets and country roads are being oiled ex
tensvely gave an estimate of the cost at that place
The price of oil averaged rs cents barrel 125 bar
res being required for the first application, and so
to rs for the second making total cost of about
5000 mile. The cost of water sprinkling mile in
Fresno where the summer is long and dry. had been
$500 annually.
With crude oil in unlimited supply within hun
dred miles why might it not be wise for our city
authorities. having posted up the necessary for
mula try the experiment Of treating at least one
street or otherwise testing the process on some Of
the drives Of one of the parks.

THE IMMORTAL SOUL OF HELEN KELLER.
Nj. M. MUD ocK, EDIT r.


We read in the Kansas City Star, Of the other
day. thesis on the probability Of mans immor
tally or rather maybe it was on the impossibilty
Of proving or disproving such Dostulate. We could
not decide from any signs Of the dissertation whether
# was an editorial, an excerpt from some discourse
or both. But we do know that It was a worthy
effort In being keenly auyitc and solid logically,
It was very convincing at least in this that immortal
fly can neither be proved or defined by or through
the mere human senses In the reading Of the Stars
article our mind reverted TO the wonderful Helen
Keller. born blind, deaf and dumb yet who sees
without eyes. who hears without ears and who talks
without the use Of her tongue, talks in way that
stirs the human heart few can stir it. In the
dark with no experimental knowledge of what light
is like no knowledge of sound or of its musical har
monies thus deprived of her human senses all the
beautiful that dwelIs in the beautiful soul Of Helen
Keller she has, learned to give forth to the world,
to a world from which she is shut out, at least
out of most of its life and all its color as we know
st. This Boston woman thus deprived of the dis
tinctlvey mortal stands forth in her human entity
possessing such comprehension of life in all its
variations and mutations such knowledge Of music
never heard, of trees and of flowers never seen, as
few possess Thin must indeed be the partition wall
that separates the soul of Helen Keller from the
Immortal for she is little else than invisible spirit
With all her deprivations and limitations little that
is Of value to the human soul is lost to Helen KEEL
ler Only through what must be her immortal equip
.uent or side does she not only communicate with
her friends to a world whose beauties she never
saw, whose harmonies she never heard, but whose
attachments she so wildly comprehends.

AFTER | AN GONE.
(By Shakespeare

No longer mourn for me when | dead
Than you shall hear the surly, sullen bell,
Give warning to the world that l am fed
From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell;
Nay if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it; for I love you so
That l in your sweet thoughts would be forgot
If thinking on me then should make you
o, if q say, you look upon this verse
When l perhaps compounded am with clay,
Do not so much my poor name Tehearse
But let your love even with my life decay;
Lest the wise world should look into your moan.
And mock you with me after am gone

Took the Joke Home.

This is the old story of taking the
new joke home to try on your wife. \
Salt Lake citizen was in his place of
business a few days before the Fourth
when a number of friends entered
bearing what appeared to be an enor-
nous frecraclxer They set il down
near him and ignited the fuse. The
man started to fee. but before he
reached the door there came a very
mild report from the cracker, and
nothing more was doing. After his
fright had passed he was shown the
mechanism. 1t was simply a length
of stOvepiDe. covered with red paper,
and containing only n very small fire.
cracker he begged the loan of the
thing to take il home. They fixed ii
all up for him. and that night he
sEeaked it into the dining roOmo. Put
ting it on the table he Mortified the
other members of the family by ignit-
ing the fuse with his cigar The folks
ali fed in fright while he showed his
bravery and GOODNESS by remaining
calmly seated. right beside the table.
continuing TO smoke his cigar IN
about thirty seconds there was an ex-
plosiOn that shattered every window in
the house. split the dining room table,
breaking all the dishes, threw papa
against the wall TO his great surprise
and pain and demolished the room gem
orally. He learned later. after he was
able to get out a little each day. that
when the thing was fixed up the sec
Ond time his friends put about four
pounds OF gunpOwder in the thing in
stead os a little firecracker. All OF
which is another argument against
practical jokes.
