Gossip Of the Sages Interesting Stories e s::. >

Washington. D. c., March IL. - Ex-
cept for the fact that the Iowa dele
CATION had really made a choice at last
no particular surprise was caused by
the selection of Mr.. Reed, Representa-
tive Haugen's candidate to succeed
Judge Shiras of the northern judicial
district. This was the way many on
lockers saw the case though matters
were tending to Reed for the past sew
eral weeks even though the Healy
supporters had hope till the last. There
was also some idea that the dead
lock between Healy and Reed might
become so strong that Judge Wright
would be selected as a ca@aromise.

unanimous and an early appointment
is expected Soon as the affairs in
the northern district have already
been Inconvenience somewhat by the
delay. "
1t is declared by all who attended
the conferences, that the contest,
though it covered some very vital fea-
lures, was entirely friendly through
out. In fact it is known that the mer-
its of the matter in hand were not dis
cussed very much at the conferences.
This was done mostly outside and the
members Of the conference spent most
of the time telling each other good
stories between the monotonous bal

lots tits intimated that Judge Healey
was very much disappointed at the
result of the conference, but no one ey-
er made harder fight for a candidate
than did Senator Dolliyer and Repre-
sentative Conner. The defeat of
Wright. it is said, may materially af-
feet Judge Thomas chances for re-
nomination in the eleventh district. If
Wright had been selected it is said it
would have assured Thomas of some
strong support. The latter has gone
to Iowa to look after his fences, the
report being that some Of his backing
has indicated lukewarm tendencies.

see one of the first of these Long Toms
in operation. This apparatus required
two men to operate, one to shovel
gravel into the sluice box while the
other shoveled from the scoop the
coarse gravel which did not go
through. Tables with riffles-depres-
sions containing mercury-caught the
gold which passed through the perfor.
ations
The mine was thereupon equipped
with all known devices for saving gold.
Yet working test showed the amount
OF gold saved to be only 20 per cent
of the total values.
Since the discovery OF these enor-
nous losses much time and money
have been spent in experimenting with
methods for saving this float gold. AS
yet no great success has attended
these experiments, but amalgamating
processes are continually being intro
duced.
The most promising of these is a
combination dredging and amalgamat-
ing machine. 1t shows great improve
ment in the handling of gravel, but it's
chief interest lies in saving appli-
ance which saves practically all the
float gold,
The gravel is hoisted and then
dumped into a revolving cylindrical
screen, which separates the fine gravel
from the coarse. The fine material,
which contains all the values,is passed
into a large tank, where 1t is forced
into contact with quicksilver several
hundred times, until all the fine gold is
saved by amalgamation.
| When these machines are in practi.
cal operation and fulfill their promise,
gravel mining will be revolutionized.
Their successful operation will be of
especial interest to California, since
they do not conflict with the debris
laws, which put stop to hydraulic
mining.
Gold Sources Inexhaustlble.
The Pacific coast offers an immense
field of work for some such machine
as this. On the coast of California
and Alaska there are more than I 900
square miles of collaborating sands
which have been tested and shown to
contain geld to the value of 81 a ton.
One company which owns 1 900 acres
of beach sands at Nome made over a
hundred behring's to bed rock on it's
property, the distance to bedrock vary
ing from forty to sixty feet The gray
ell was tested every two feet and was
found to contain from 81 to 81 in gold
to the cubic yard.
1t has been estimated that only
about per cent of the gravel known
to exist in the Pliocene river beds in
California was washed out by hydraul
les and sluices, and these immense
bodies of gravel are known to contain
on an average 81 a cubic yard in gold
This gravel can be worked only by
some process which will save the floai
gold. but worked by such a process
! the production of gold will equal that
of the period of hydraulic mining.
Such a process would be to gravel
mining what the cyanide process was
to the South African mines.
Thus it can be seen that the earth.

TWO JUDICIAL CIRCUITS
 NOW, HANG IN THE BALANCE
Fate of Both Fourteenth and Fifteenth Circuits Are With the Supreme Court---Were Creative
 Laws Local or General?

The fate of the Fifteenth and Four ,teenth JudicaI Circuits, which were created by acts of the last Legislature under parallel circumstances, now rests with the Alabama Supreme Court Attorney General Massey Wilson yes- terday morning submitted to the Supreme Court quo warranto proceed .inCs inuuiring on behalf of the State why Judre T. Scott Sayre, of the Eff teenth Judicial Circuit, now holds his office. The proceedings were instituted by request of Judge Sayre as the most expeditions course to determine the constitutionality of the act creating the circuit.
 Immediately after the submission of the Attorney Generals quo warranto proceedings, J. H. Bankhead. Jr. suo- mitted argument and briefs supporting the constitutionaiity of the act of the Legislature creating the FourteenthCir- cult composed of the counties of Wal ker and winston. The appeal under hearing was taken by Walter Sims. a prisoner under indictment in Walker County, through his counsel, w. c. Davis and L. D. Gray.
 ] Walter Sims was indicted by a grand jury organized in Walker County since the act of the Legislature creating the new circuit was passed and went into effect. Through his counsel he peti- toned for a writ of habeas corpus to Judge of Probate James w. Shepherd The latter granted the hearing. but denied the petition. upholding the con- stitutionality of the measure creating the judicial circuit. Counsel for Sims had based their petition for freedom on an argument assailing the constitu- tionality of the act. The appeal was taken from the decision of Judge Shepherd who was acting as judge oi the county court.
 The attack on the constitutionality of both the Fourteenth and Fifteenth circuits Is being made on the same grounds. it being alleged that Section 106 of the new constitution was violated in the passage of both acts creating the two circuits. Section 106 of the constitution requires that a notice four weeks ahead be given of the intention of introducing a local bill into the Legislature. It has been left with the State Supreme Court to decide whether these acts are local or general for it Is agreed by both sides in each case that no notices were given. The counties composing the Fifteenth Circuit are Montgomery. Autauga, Chiffon and FL more
