THE CYANlDlNG OF
SULPHI0E ORES
Tests Made In Colorado Prove
That tho Problem Has
Been Solved.

Cheap milling for heavy sulphide
ores is OF immense importance to
Northern Colorado and other mining
regions whsre conditions are similar,
In the sulphide belt, which extends
through Clear Greek, Gilpin and
Boulder Counties, there are large de-
posits of low.grade ore in which the
gold. constituting the greater part of
the value, occurs included in iron
pyrites. Owing to the sharp relief Of
the mountains and canyons. the re-
gion is admirably adapted to exten.
siye development ana cheap mining
by means Of tunnels. The problem is
cheap treatment for the ore after it
Is mined.
Tests made at the old San Bias
mine near Ward. Colorado, apparently
prove that the problem has been
solved. The ore is first reduced by
crushers and rolls to fneness OF
twenty mesh. II is then roasted to
drive off the sulphur. and finally II
is leached In tanks with cyanide
solution in the ordinary manner.
More than 30 per cent of the gold
values In the ore is recovered.
In the whole process there Is only
one danger to be guarded against II

THE COST OF AN
APPLE ORCHARD
Hon. r l.. Smith Makes an Esti-
mate OF Cost and Prob
able Income.

According to E. L. Smith, the well
known Hood river horticultural and
president of the State Board of Hor-
ticulture, 7-year-old orchards easily
make from 500 to $3.50 an acre every
year and lO-year old 5000. "a man
near my place." said he, "wi tn five
acres, max es 800 to $3.50 year
Another man with 269 trees, cleared
up S25O0 last year. | had an orchar
whose profits amounted to $3.50 an
acre. From 5000 to $3.50 yearly
profits to the acre are quite common
and in several unusual cases the
profits have been $1,000 an acre. "
He tells the Oregonian that these
big profits come from light cost of
production and heavy demand for
the fruit. Cost of cultivation and
spraying and picking and paoking
and hauling to the railroad, etc. he
said does not come to more than 80
cents a box, and the grower sold the
fruit last year at s2 10 box for
Spitzenburgs and sl.75 box for
Yellow Newtowns.
And crop failures don't occur. ="
said Mr.. Smith, for the country has
plenty Of water from the reservoir
SHOWS Of Mount Hood and there are no
damaging frUsts.
In five years. he exclaimed, 80 you
will see Hood River producing half a
million boxes Of Spitzenburgs and Yel-
low Newtowns Many new orchards
have been started. The Spitzenburgs
and the Newtowns, as we grow them,
are the best apples in the world and
cannot be excelled for hardness and
flavor and beauty. Rogue River sp'

Smiths opinion, is 20 acres, and 4
acres is "big enough for any man il

CHAPTER xxx.

It was a wild night. The wind howl
ed mournfully through the passages and
corr!.uUrs of the house down In Essex,
swaying the shivering poplars, stripping
them of their leaves, and SouGhing
among the branches. Heavy masses of
cloud drifted rapidly across the sky, and
large drops of rain battered occasionally
upon the dry leaves. At times, the
moon broke forth in ftful radiance, but
only to render the succeeding darkness
deeper. There was a terrible spirit
abroad that night-a spirit Of destruc-
ton on land and sea.
Before the fire in his somher bedroom
sat Silas Carston, watching sadly the
Pickering flames blown about by the
draught that came roaring down the
huge chimney. He was alone; the nurse
had been removed, and his door securely
locked. Dark and despairing were his
thoughts, and over all there lowered the
spirit of the night, boding death.
In the chamber above him, watching
the tempestuous changes Of the sky,
with her eyes, but not with her mind,
sat Clara, sad, dreary, hopeless, at the
mercy of her enemies. She also was a
prisoner fast secured, and over her
brooded the spirit of the night, boding
death.
In the kitchen below sat two female
servants covering over the blazing fire,
shuddering at the bowling wind, and
"supping full Of horrors" on ghost
stories.
In a small room upon the same corri-
dor in which Clara's apartment was sit
uated, sat the Rev. Mr.. Porter, trying to
drown dark memories and stupefy re-
morse, the specters still foated upon the
surface, ana the worm gnawed cease
lessly. He shivered and looked around,
and then crept closer to the cheerful fire.
Over him lowered the spirit OF the
night, boding death.

Joe Jefferson and Billy Florence
lived in the closest sympathy until
death divided them, a decade or more
ago, says a writer in Lippincott's. The
fire of their genius had been fed with
common fuel. They had toiled and tri-
umphed together, until each mans
soul vibrated in sensitive accord with
the other. The Jefferson Florence
company was playing in Philadelphia.
For the first of the week Florence had

several days and Jefferson's love for
his old friend afforded a telepathic
medium through which flashed a
vague note Of alarm.

Not even Billy's protest, "Pshaw, II
is only a cold; I'll come around all
right" allayed the fear that something
was going to happen. Young Jefferson

Married Unawares.

An astonishing story Of involuntary
marriage is brought to England by the
steamer Anversville, which has just
arrived from the Congo.
The Belgian officials declare the in
cessant risings in the Congo Free State
to be due to the missionaries, and they
are alleged to lose no opportunity Of
making things uncomfortable for these
self-sacrihcing evangelists.
Sites for new mission buildings are
refused, natives are forbidden to sell
food to the missionaries, an exorbi"
tant tax has been put on fuel, and
numberless petty measures Of irrita-
ton are devised.
Recently one Of the missionaries
died on an Upper River station, and,
In accordance with Free State law,
three of the dead mans colleagues-a
lady and two gentlemen, who were
present at the deathbed-traveled to
the nearest state post to report the
matter to q Belgian official.
This official professed to be unable
to speak any language but Flemish,
which none of the party understood.
He made them repeat after him in
Flemish what they believed to be a
declaration as to the cause of death,
and then swear to it and sign 1t.
A week later they discovered to their
horror that the document they had
signed was not a death return, but q
marriage certificate, and that the lady,
who is over nifty, had been legally
married to the younger OF her two
companions.-London Express.
