Good Fishing by the Boys.

BY a unique bit of fishing of the
Madeira islands the young tars of the
schoolship Saratoga realized money
enough to fit up gymnasium aboard
the ship.
While lying of the tropical islands
one of the boys saw big anchor on
the sand seven fathoms below. The
idea Of recovering the anchor was sug-
gested and acted on with enthusiasm.
A graphing iron was made fast, the
operation being comparatively easy in
the clear water. and by means of a
block and tackle the anchor was hoist
ed to the cathead.
The anchor. which weighed over
two tons and apparently had been lost
by a steamer, was brought to port and
was disposed of recently to a junker
for $50. With the cash the boys
bought the gymnastic apparatus, box
ing gloves, etc, and last night were
gleefully putting in strenuous time.

When a prisoner in Justice Maule's

The sample marked II was taken
from railroad cut 80 feet deep witch
is situated 1000 feet north of West sta
ton, at the mouth of Columbia river.
This sample was taken from the first
IL feet in depth, and is of particular
interest, as it shows the remarkable
concentration of value which may be
effected by rerunning or reconcentrat-
ing original concentrates. In this case
the original feed to the concentrating
tables 1850 pounds and assayed so. 0O3
per ton. This was first divided by the
tables into 90 pounds of original con-
centrates and 1898 pounds of original
tailings. These tailings were practic-
ally free from gold, as may be seen
from the accompanying table.
The original concentrate (return fed
was next reconcentrated on one of the
tables and divided into four products,
Nos. l, 2 and 3 concentrates and the
tailings. While the original concen-
trates were only 40 times as rich as the
original sand, the rerun concentrates
were 2647 times as rich, and although
only pound in weight. these contained
two-thirds of the gold which went onto
the table. The No. rerun concent-
rates were 1872 times as rich as the
original sand, and weighing As pounds
contained practically all the remaining
gold. This means that practically all
the gold contained in $500 pounds of
sand was concentrated in 55 pounds,
and of these 5.5 one pound contained
two thirds the gold. This remarkable
concentration certainly speaks we'll for
the recovery of gold and platinum
valueslin sand by means of concentrat-
ing tables.

qualifedly denies the story, but there
is much reason to believe that Ed
ridges denial is an attempt to hush up
the disgraceful business. Hazing is a
brutal, degrading, cowardly relic of
barbarity. 1t cannot be practiced in
schools without the knowledge aud
connivance of the faculty, and the way
to stop it is to fire the faculty, from A

covered. Fine place to send boys and
girls for education and culture, where
their first experience is to fall into the
hands of gang of toughs and sand
baggers, to be disfgured or crippled for

the brutality, and then, if the thing

GOVERNMENT BY RULE.

In view of the many and noisy assur-
ences of Forester" Pinchot and "For-
ester" Pinchot's swashbucklers that
the Muscovite rules which governed
forest reserves" two years ago had
been modified almost to the point of
abrogation, the MINING NEWS was
not greatly surprised to receive the
special occupancy privilege" published
elsewhere. which explains itself, and
which shows that that good man is just
as facile a liar now as he was then,
when he alleged that the villianous az
glomeration of ignorance known as
the rules and regulations governing the
occupancy of forest reserves were
evolved from the epoch breeding stupi-
dity of the Interior Department. This
last proposition shows that in the rule
making business so dear to the auto
cratic soul of that department. its pro-
duct was democracy personifed COM
pared with Grand Duke Pinchotowsky'
latest stunt along those lines.
For in the various ukases promulgat-
ed by the land office in those days for
the government of the administration
created serfs occupying the Bitter Root
forest reserve" those whose occu-
pancy dated prior to the creation of the
reserve were unmciested and their pro-
prietory right to their holdings recog-
nized, whereas in the present ruling of
the forestry service" it is not. This
abnormal fungi arrogating 70 itself the
right of confscation, in that those road
houses from which it seeks to collect
rent were built and in operation as
such, years before the creation of the
addition to the Bitter Root "forest re-
serve" occupied by those stations.
This latest outrage should prove to
Idaho's delegation at Washington,
should additional proof be necessary,
that the safety Of the people of Idaho
county demands the elimination of the
Bitter Root forest reserve, or at least
its administration under code of laws
instead of corps Of fools or worse.
