Moss Yields Gold
There is no accounting for the freaks
that the yellow metal will indulge in.
The Blue Lake (Cal) Advocate says
that messing along the Trinity river
is a profitable industry as George w.
who conducts a country store
f,.tn al
twenty eight miles from Weaverville,
says that during the season just closed
he bought over $4,000 i'm gold dust from
miners who obtained it from the moss
in the river.
Moss mining, according to Tinsley,
is becoming one of Trinity county's
leading industries. He says that on
the rocks and bedrock along both sides
Of the channel, especially in the riff
aes and in places where the current
is swift, moss forms in summer months.
When the water rises in winter 1t
overflows these places, and the moss
acts as a gold saver. When the water
begins to fall in the summer the min
ers gather the moss, and either put it
In the sun to dry, burning it later and
out the ashes, or they wash
It in tubs of water until the gold is
extracted. The latter is said to be the
quicker and the better The STANDARD
adds that 1t has long been
known by miners that a great deal of
inc gold was lost in mining, which
itatn n he nj &c no
carries the tailings down the river,
t would necessarily take the fine gold
also, but how to save it was what
puzzled the miners until it was dis
.overed that nature had provided the
Key.

Another Gold Story

The Hollister Free Lance reports a
valuable find on the George Noble
place. near Buena Vista, recently,
when Frank Hammond and William
Waters, on a hunting trip, picked up
piece of gold bearing quartz that
set their hearts fluttering. In looking
for the ledge, from which the quartz
had come, they stumbled onto an old
prospect hole and Immediately went
to work to open the old prospect, and
considerable ore, which appears to be
rich in gold and silver, has been taken
out. The vein has been traced for a
distance of over four miles by the
outcroppings. In the present work.
ings it shows a width of nearly four
feet. The ore shows free gold, and To-
cal experts pronounce the prospect for
a paying mine to be exceptionally good.
No assay of the ore has been made.
If the report of the assayers be favor
able, work in developing the mine will
be commenced at once.

Work on Tributary Mines

Active exploitation is reported in
many mines in Southern Nevada in
the Searchlight district. These mines
are all tributary TO Los Angeles, the
interests being controlled here and the
supplies being purchased in this mar
ket.
OF interest is the report that the
Duplex company at Searchlight will
sink soon vertical working shaft on
the searchlight ground. about 200 feet
northeast Of the present shaft. This
shaft will be equipped with forty-horse-

Mills at GoIdfieId


of Goldfield is now to be supplied. 1t
is a we'll known fact that the operators
of that booming camp cannot, with
profit, market ores which run less that
$50 per ton, on account of the long
wagon haul to Tonopah and the sub
sequent freight charges over the rail-
road to the smelters. There are dumps
in the camp which contain an immense
tonnage of ores which, in any camp
where shipping facilities We're to be
had, would be designated as the finest
kind of high grade.
Mills are necessary to make the mar
keting of these ores profitable and
these are now being built. A ten-stamp
plant is now in course of construction
by the Goldfield Reduction company
near Rabbit spring, about mile from
the town. This will be completed and
go into commission early in Febru
ary. At first the ores will be treated
by amalgamation only, but as soon as
practicable the capacity of the mill will
be doubled and concentration and cyan
iding appliances added. 1t is stated
that there is plenty of water to run
the mill.
Another mill of practically the same
design as that of the Goldfield Reduc-
tion company is going up about half
a mile beyond Rabbit spring. This is
being built by Dean & Jones of Los
Angeles, Cal, who state that they be-
lieve the ore production will increase
to such an extent that the plant will
have to be increased to a capacity of
100 stamps in the near future. The
machinery for this mill is being hauled
overland from the coast via Keeler.
A third mill of five stamps, embrac-
ing amalgamation, concentration and
cyaniding, is well under way just out
side the town of Goldfeld This mill
is under the direction Of j. II. Spiking
and associates. These gentlemen pur-
chased an old mill in another district
and are now hauling in the machinery.
This mill will depend solely upon Gus
tom ores TO feed its stamps.
The treatment charges will probably
range between So and $14 per ton. ac-
cording TO the character of the ore.
A start having been made, the out
put of the mines will increase very
rapidly. as the mills will enable the
producers to work all grades of ore,
instead of only the richest material.

til legislation shall be specially
providedltherefor."
From the above, it will be seen
that in no place is it'stated that
the acts to be effective must te
taken by the slate as a whole.
The question is, can Salem, AL.
bany, Eugene or Corvallis, iu-
woke the referendum on matters
of legislation, based on the nec-a
essary five or eight per cent of
the votes cast at the above.stated
election? In other words, can
the referendum be invoked on
petitions signed by. FIVE per cent
of the voters of said Incorporated
city?
1t may be claimed that we
make our own laws. Yes, but
above and beyond US is the legis-
lative body of the State of Ore
gon, who delegates certain author
lty to incorporated cities and are
in so doing making the matter of
city affairs in a measure a state
act. Could FIVE per cent of the
legal voters of Corvallis, on petit
ton filed with the secretary of
state hold up any measure in
prosecution within this city !?
That is the question. According
to above printed amendment it is
not stated that such a movement
would be legal under the refer
endum; on the other hand, it is
argued, it is-not stated that such
a thing may not be done. This
is a matter that is attracting con-
siderable attention in certain
circles.

one OF the greatest necessities
here was a number of suitable
houses, little cottages, for the
people who came here to school
their children. He said that last
year both himself and wife made
personal canvases for such places,
for people from abroad, but could
not find anything suitable. For
this reason the school is kept
back, and the town as we'll. He
said that OAC is growing rapid

I, 900 students enrolled. But it
is very apparent that some pro-
vision must be made to house,
not alone these students, but par
ents, guardians, and the like, who
may come to assist and look after
the students during the college
year. Here is splendid field for
the investment of some money.
There is nothing in this section
that will pay better interest on
the capital required than the erec-
ton of a number of small, neat,
attractive little cottages of from
three to five rooms.

Wholesale Cattle Poisoning.

People in Alsea are considera-
bly, interested regarding the pois-
oning of number of cattle in
Alsea about ten days ago. From
what is learned, it appears that
FIVE head were killed by poison.
A couple of 2-year-old heifers
and steer were the property OF
Mrs. Martha Slate. These were
found dead Sunday evening, a
week ago.
Two cows were poisoned at the
same time for A. B. Bowen. The
poison of all the cows came from
the same place and was only a
short distance from the places of
Mrs. Slate and Mr.. Bowen and
the stock had fed together during
the day. Mrs. Slate's cattle died
Sunday evening, but Mr.. Bowen
noticed that something was amiss
with his cows when they arrived
home in the evening and set to
work to relieve them. Despite
everything possible to do the
COWS died Monday morning.
| At one time it was thought
that the stock had eaten larkspu1
or water hemlock. The college
authorities were communicated
with and they inclined to the be.
lief from information sent them
that it was case of poisoning
either by larkspur or water hem
lock. Mrs. Slate had agreed te
stand the expense of having {
chemical analysis made of ths
stomachs of the poisoned animals
but on hearing from the college
the matter was dropped.
! However, since looking int
the matter calmly and recalling
the results of either of the abov'
mentioned poisons on cattle, th'
people over there are quite posi-
tive that the death of the stool
was due to poison of some othe
kind. Not one of the cattl
bloated in the least, no did the,
froth at the mouth, as is said t.
; be 1.-The case in either larkspur o
water hemlock poisoning. /
seems that they have pretty gen

, sions are not forthcoming an
