other reasons stated, all Of which are
now remeded by the gold dredge.
This invention supersedes hand labor
by machinery; it requires no grade
or declivity down which to sluice its
gravel; it will choke no river; it needs
only enough water to float itself in and
to wash the gold with; and all of this
water it can, and does, use over and
over again. 1t is as much at home in
the arid but auriferous deserts OF
Arizona, as in the golden marshes or
the Feather river"
What is this gold ship" 1t is sim
ply a dredge that floats in pond Of
its own making-a pond which ac-
companies it wherever it chooses to
go, and which enables it to move over
the land in any direction. 1t scoops
up the gravel, subjects it on its decks
to the action of any desired process,
mechanical or chemical-and then,
having exhausted 1t of its gold, casts
the gravel behind, and keeps on ad-
vancing, until the field before it is
sifted and treated from surface to bed
rOkc. 10 quote 1uftner.
"As the ground can be thoroughly
tubed and sampled beforehand, this
process lifts gold mining from the
category of speculative enterprises to
that of manufacturing business.
The gold dredge is a gold manufac-
tory, with an Unsuitable demand and
assured market for its product, at the
rate of $20.17 per Troy ounce fine, paid
down by the mints in gold coin. No
risk, no idle stock on hand, no bad
debts, no commissions, brOkerages, or
discounts, nor no monopoly of trade,
now or ever possible. An instant sale
for the entire produce at a fixed price,
paid in cash. Such are the incompar-
able conditions of the gold manufac.
turing business. 1t goes without say
ing that, unless the cost of taking part
in it is beyond the ordinary means of
business men, such an, industry will
not fail to invite vast number of par
ticipants. This contingency can be
settled at once. The dredges cost from
$500 to $500 each, according to
size; a sum within the means of the
average business man, commercial part"
ship or small corporation.
Like most other inventions, the
gold ship is a development A gold
dredge was used on the Magdalena
river 90 years ago; the device was
further developed several years later
in New Zealand; it was brought al
most to perfection in California;; at
the present time, a dozen machine
shops, scattered all over the United
States, are rivaling one another in
turning out a more and more perfect
dredge. The home demand for these
machines is so urgent that but few
have as yet been shipped abroad; yet
several of them have already gone to
South America and several more to
Europe. The present rate of out-turn
is about one machine per week; in the
course of few years it will be one
per diem; in ten years it will probably
be ten machines per diem. When this
takes place, and perhaps before it, the
worlds production of gold, even
should the quartz mines yield no more
than at present, will be 100000 a
day."

Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. llth, (SpeciaD. -
One OF the most remarkable cures ever
recorded in Louisa County is that of Mrs
Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs. Hart was
il bed for eight months, and when she
was able to sit up she was all drawn up
on one side, and could not walk across
the room. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her.
Speaking of her cure Mrs, Hart says:
Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after | was in bed for eight months, and |
know the cure was complete, for that was
three years ago, and | have not been
down since. In four weeks from the time
| started taking them [ was able to make
my garden. Nobody can know how
thankful | am to he cured or how muc
feel owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how much
the general health depends on the Kid
neys. Cure the Kidneys with Dodd's
Kidney Pills and ninc-tenths of the suf
fering the human family is heir to will
