employed in pans, cradles, long toms
sluioes, grizzlies, and amalgam plates
are combined in the winnowing pro
cess. Tables fitted with eccentric
cams, to hold down coverings of CO.
coanut mating and expanded metal,
catch the gold particles. Rifles con
tanning mercury, and amalgam
plates, are also used; but the cocoa.
nut meshes are depended upon to
catch most of the gold These mats
are frequently put through process
OF washing in tank, and the sedi-
ment which collects in the bottom
is run through q centrifugal ANAL
gamating machine. The amalgam is
then heated, the quicksilver expelled
and the fine gold remains. All this
is done by machinery.
1t is estimated that less than one
tenth OF one per cent of the gold in
the path OF the monsters escapes.
Placer fields which have been
worked over FIVE and six times are
now being harvested at great pro-
fit, SO completely do these ships
carry off the yellow metal. The ships
can even secure paying quantities of
gold from the discarded dumps Of
other mines. Although three humid
red tons of steel machinery are op-

steel legs, or spuds, which extend to
the bottom OF the artificial sea and
enable the big boat literally to stride
from point to point in its advance.
A remarkable fact is that, in min

throughout the valleys OF China
paths are being mapped for the com
ing OF the new American invasion
Every factli in regard to the big craft
taxes credulity. The steel monsters
dig their own seas. and these bodies
OF water move across the country
with the vessels they bear. Over
the course they once take the big
boats never return. They absorb
the treasure as they pass. And they
leave not even ripple of water to
mark their progress; instead, in
their wake are piled mounds of
boulders and bedrock.
These gold-ships are the culmi-
mating effort of more than fifty
years of ingenious experiment, in
spired by promises of bewildering
fortune. Take the an .ient ark as it
is popularity pictured, combine it
with a river or estuary dredger, add
a large section OF a modern battle
ship, half score of hosting cranes,
pile-drivers, steam-ham mers, and
battering-rams, and some concep-
tions may be had of what one of
these wonderful gold ships is like.
A great steel ladder extends in iron
ofthe yes sell, like an inverted bow
spirit. Up and down the ladder
march in endless procession bucket
shaped plows with mouths of forged
manganese steel. The claim that
carries them will support a weight
of five hundred tons. These keen
edged scoops will cut through solid
rock. A marine engine drives them
with irresistible force. They delve
into the banks aheadIof the ship,
literally eating up the land Gorged
with rock and sand. the buckets
mount the ladder again, and along a
huge gantry are carried back to a
rotating cylindrical screen, int,
which they discharge their contents,
at the ra of thirteen buckets a
minute. Each one OF these steel car
riers contain Ave cubic feet of earth /,
so that an amount of material equal
to the contents Of three city dump
carts is poured every minut, OF the
day and night Into the whirling cyl
inder.
Five thousand gallons of water a
minute are simultaneously forced
into the revolving mass. The screens
make twenty revolutions every min

I The tin produced in the United
States is of small item-a drop in
a bucket compared to the world s
consumption Of the metal, and it is
doubtful if any field of mining in this
country holds out the encouragement
to the operator that the tin field
does. The first tin ore in suppos-
eddy paying quantities to be found
| in this country was in the Black
| Hills, and it was to foster the in
dustry that the United States con-
gress imposed duty OF four cents a
pound on pig or block tin. Then the
Harvey Peak imposition was ex-
posed, and the duty was removed.
In the meantime the tin plate indu
try was assuming mammoth proper
tions in this country, nourished by
a big duty, which is still in effect,
and today the United States leads
the world in the output OF tin pla tie,
The tin plate industry is in the
hands of trust, whose largest
works are at New Castle, Penn. Mr..
Greer, one OF the builders of the
first tin plate mill at New Castle,
who has since disposed Of his inter-
ests to the trust, under which he
h lids an official position. is owner of
shares in Black Hills gold mine,
the Ruby Gold Mining and Milling
company.
While on an eastern trip some
ago Mr.. johnson. manager of the
Gertie company, visited the head Of
ice of the trust at New Castle, met
Mr.. Greer and was referred by him
to Mr.. Graham, the president at
that time, to whom he told the story
Of the Gertie mine. Mr.. Graham in

attention to embryo tin mines.
However, my advice is: develop

Oil for Cattle Dip.

DR.. ]. =. Clancy, in charge Of the
local division Of the Enreau Of AMI
NAL Industry at ST. Louis is very
much elated over the result Of dip
ping diseased cattle in oil. He says
the Departments Of Agriculture has
been carrying on experiments for.
seven or eight years with various
kinds OF dips for the eradication Of
fever tick, but none has proved So
successful as crude petroleum N
1t seems to answer every purpose
desired; it kills the ticks effectively,
and vet has not the deleterious eft
fects which resulted from some Of
the first dips that were used. It has
about 400. times less blistering
strength than the oil and sulphur
used in the first ex pertinent six
years ago. It contains only enough
sulphur to take a little Of the skin
off the cattle, or about the equiya-
lent OF sunburn on humans, yet it,
thoroughly eradicates the tick, leav-
ing no harmful effect and not weak
ening the cattle.
/ The results already attained have
been highly encouraging, and it Isl
expected that new market will.

Gated below the line, which have
heretofore been out Of the feeder
market on account of the fever prop
osition. Feeders are very much
pleased with the situation, % they

world. In both instances the tin
deposits are are found in zones in
proximity to the contact OF the
granite and slate.
The life of tin mine is generally
greater than that of any other metal
mine, everlasting. The tin mines OF
Cornwall were discoyered by the
Ph9nicians in the year AZ B. c.,
and they have been worked continu.
ously since. The tin deposits have
in places been followed for many
thousands Of feet under the sea, I'M
til the expense in working them and
keeping down the water orcasioned
by seepage is enorn us, notwith-
standing which these mines are still
rendering profits.
About thirds of the worlds
tin today comes from the Straits
settlement, along the Malay PENN
sula, where 1t is found in the form
OF stream or placer tin. At one
time sor.e Americans entered the
field and began mining and milling
tin for shipment to this country;
but this was stopped by the British
government, which caused the en-
actment OF an export duty on pig
tin of such proportions as to prac-
ideally prohibit the traffic.
The linton Tin company seems to
have fully ent red upon a carer Of
success in the tin business in this
county. Its concentrating plant is
in operation almost continuously,
and two shipments of the tin con-
ceLtrates have been made, the last
being shipped during August. The
plant has daily capacity of about
100 tons, and the company is al
ready contemplating and planning

WANT ON RECORD
Representatives Feel That Personal
Explanations are Due.

Washington, March 14.-An extend
ed period of personal explanation I'M
doubtedly will occur during the con-
sideration OF the postofice appropria-
ton bill, which was again called up
today by Chairman Overstreet. Mon
day rightfully belongs to the District
of Columbia, but there are few local
matters on the calendar, and Mr.. Bao-
cock abdicated in favor of the post
office bill
The necessity which many mem
bers of the house feel to have the con-
gressional record contain statements
in explanation of their alleged mis-
conduct with the postoffice depart
ment in regard to clerk hire, allow
ances and rent of postofice quarters
has led the managers of the house to
adopt a most liberal policy with ref
erence to general debate on the post
Office bill When these statements
are all out of the way the bill will be
disposed of and not before.
The bill making appropriations for
the support of the military academy
will follow the postoffice bill and as
there are no special orders for claims
or pensions to interfere, it may be
that both of these supply measures
will be disposed of this week.

Washington, March 1.-THE senate

Gen. Leonard Wood. The committee
on military affairs have recommended
an amendment to the fertilization bill
authorizing the purchase of torpedo
boat of the protector" type for ex-
perimental purposes at a cost of $780,
600 and as several senators have indi-
Gated opposition to the provision, 1t
is expected that 1T will be debated at
some length. Other features of the
bill also will receive more or less at
tention. There are still several
speeches to be made on the Wood
case but Senator Foraker, who is in
charge of the nomination, hopes to
conclude its consideration during the
week. He will make the closing speech
in support of Gen. Woods confirma-
ton. The District of Columbia and
