NEW MACHINE A WONDER
New Quartz Crusher Surpasses
Expectations

The new quartz crusher, n late in
yention of two Grants Pass men, W.
b. Sherman aud W. r. Whipple, Of
which mention was made in the last
issue of the Courier, has been given a
thorough test by tho inventors during
the past week and gave results which
far exceeded their best expec tations
The results of the test fully justify the
expectation that the now machine Will
create a revolution in the mining in
dustry. The inventors themselves
were thoroughly surprised at the work
of the machine which showed an cfti-
oency four fold greater than they had
expected.
This machine arrived last week from
the iron works. 1t is circular in shape,
30 inches wide aud six inches high,
weighing 100 pounds. II consists oil
three parts; base, disc and n hood.
The disc revolves above the base and
below the hood at the rate of 1000 rev
olutions to the minute. The hood be-
ing convoxod forms V shaped open
ing between It and the disc which
makes its wonderful crushing capacity
and its possibilities are something
marvellous
On Friday test was made wit
different varieties of hard rock ant
with porphyry, 1t dovoured them al
with the same avidity and was ready
for more. It exhibited most amaz
ing appetite for quartz. During thu
test the mach inc crushed 30 pound
per minute to the fineness Of 10 or 81
mesh. No difference was seen In rap
idity Of crushing quartz or porphyry
It took care of the ore ns fast as i
could be shoyeled in by Que man. Th
pulp is all Of the same degree Of fine
ness aud no screens are needed. Tn
inventors expected the machine to d
the work of q five stamp mill. In tn
test run it dovoured ore at a 20 STAN
rate
one Of the advantages Of the ma
chine is its durability. No wear
noticeable except on the disc whic
may be ro-shod from time to time
Another advantage is its mobility
The heaviest piece weighs less tha
400 pounds aud the machine may b
easily transported by pack animal
over any trail Another way is I
turn the machine on It's edge, nt a
axle frame and handles, hitch one, q
two horses tandem, and wheel 1t owe

This invention makes II possible fC

about 10 horse power for its operatio
and with a Pelton wheel this can
b easily obtained from any mountai

MARRIED IN MADISON
Walter V. Jansen and Miss Caroline
Evans, Formerly of KenOsha, Mar
ried at State capital.
WEDDING A GREAT SOCIAL EVENT

The marriage of Miss Caroline
Evans, formerly teacher of sciences
in the Kenosha High School, and
Walter V. Jansen, former manager
of the American Express Company in
this city, was celebrated at three
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, at the
home of the bride in Madison. The
W edding was one of the greatest social
events of the spring season in the
State Capital. Several hundred guests
attended the ceremony and the we'd
ding reception and dinner which fol-
lowed. Among the guests were a
number from Kenosha.
The marriage of Miss Evans and
Mr.. Jansen will cause more than
passing comment in Kenosha. Miss
Evans taught in the Kenosha High
School during the year 1908, and when
she left Kenosha last summer for an
extended trip abroad, it was reported
that she and Mr.. Jansen were to be
welded on her return.
Miss Evans was exceedingly popu-
lar among the school children in Ke-
nosha and they will be glad to extend
congratulations to her.
Mr.. Jansen was in Kenosha for five
years, and during that time made
many friends. He was for some time
Chancellor Commander of the Knights
of Pythias, and was a great favorite
among the Pythians.
Since leaving Kenosha, Mr.. Jansen
has been advanced rapidly by the
company with which he is now en-
ployed, and he is now in charge of
one of the best routes of the company
in the state Of Iowa. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jansen will make their home in Iowa.

Marvin Richards Notifies the Police of
the City That He Will Not Interfere
With His Faithless Wife.
WANTS CHILDREN SENT TO HIM.
Police Will Carefully Investigate the Mat
ter Before the Family Is Broken Up;
Woman Seems Satisfied Here.

Marvin Richards, the Kenosha man
who disappeared from Kenosha two
years ago and recently turned up at
Cincinnati, has written second let
ter to the chief of police here, in
which he states that he will not seek
to trouble his wife, who, believing
that he was dead, married another
man. The former Mrs. Richards has
made no efforts to have her second
marriage set aside, and to ali intents
and purposes she seems to be per-
fect1y satisfied with the present ar
rangements and the present husband.
Richards seems to be satisfied that
the new husband shall pay for the
board and keep of his former wife,
but he is unwilling that the wife shall
retain possession of his one son, Mar
tin Richards, who is now living in
Kenosha, and to this end he is making
arrangements with the police to have
the boy sent to him. In his letter
Richards states that he is perfectly
able to give the boy a good home and
to keep him in school. He further
states that he is willing to send to the
chief of police all the money.that may
be needed to send the boy from Keno
sna to Cincinnati. The chief will not
act hastily in the matter, and he has
communicated with the chief of the
department in the Ohio city, and no
steps will be taken until something
has been learned about Richards and
his present circumstances. If it is
found that the man is able to support
the boy it will be up to the boyssto de-
eide whether he will remain with his
mother, and it is said that the re1a-
tons between them are most friendly.
It is probable that Richards would
apply for divorce if the wife would
make any effort to have the wedding
in kenosha annu11ed, and for this rea-
son the woman has been advised
against seeking such a course. The
best way out of the tang1e would be
for the wife to apply for a divorce
from the husband on the grounds of
desertion, and then she would be free
to have her marriage with her second
husband celebrated again. Quite
little interest is being taken in the
case by the people of the city, and
by the Main street mer-
chants, among whom " Brownie =
Richards, the boy in the case, is a
great favorite. These people are in
sisting that the fullest investigation
be made into the matter before the
boy is sent to make his hor with the
father.

IN WILMOT
First Year Of WiImot High School
Passes all Expectations and New
Building Must be Built.
SCHOOL PATRONS TO VOTE SOON

The new High School in the town of
Wi1mot has been an instantaneous
success and the patronage that has
been accorded to it during this the
first year of it's existence, has been so
great that the present building is no
longer large enough to accommodate
the large number of students that are
seeking instruction in the village
High School. On this account it has
been found absolutely necessary to
arrange at once for the building of a
new school. The matter has been
laid before the town board of the town
of Salem and in another fortnight an
election will be held for the purpose
of granting the town board the right
to assess taxes for the erection of a.
new school.
The new building will be a seven
room building and will be of brick.
It is planned as an addition to the
present building and it is thought
that it will furnish room for the use
of the High School for decade. The
new addition to the building will cost
in the neighborhood of five thousand
dollars. Plans are now being made
for it and 1T is planned to have it
ready for use by the opening of the
new school year.
The success of the Wi1mot High
School has been a source of great
qualification to uperintendent Geo.
Taylor as his work was largely re-
sponsib1e for the opening of the Sec
ond high school in the county. Next
year it is expected that fully two
hundred of the young men and women
of the county will attend the High
School at Wi1mot.
