DENTAL PATENT.

Or. A. j. Thinker, a local dentit,
has invented a device for fling teeth
known as the Thinker matrix, and a
patent has been issued by the u. s.
Patent Office At Washington. This
device consists of a retainer, tighten
ing key and numerous bands of very
thin metal Of various lengths to fit all
sizes of teeth. The thin band is passed
around a tooth and is firmly held by
the retainer. This renders practicable
the filling of badly broken down teeth
that would otherwise have to be
crowned OF relegated to the foreeps.
The filing by use of this device is
given the proper shape and contour
and no part of the filing material can

"The office here has at present 1000
lock boxes, and employs nine clerks at
an expense of $1116 per month, ex-
elusive of the postmaster salary.
This force is fully adequate to meet
all the requirements of the office, and
that it is doing so is evidenced by the
fact that the public is registering no
kick. There is no dead mail in the
office and seeond-class matter is being
given the same attention which is de-
voted to mail of the first-class. In

Plant of American Milling and Water
Company to Start Up Soon.

Early next month the plant of the
American Milling and Water company
will be ready to receive ore for treat
ment. The work of getting the plant
in shape for operation is progressing
rapidly and the management hopes to
have it in running order by September
10. The buildings are now all com
pleted and the installation of the ma
cbinery is now on. Its mechanism is
ri the most modern type and will have
a daily capacity of 30 tons. This mere
ly temporarily, however, as it is the
purpose 70 add materially TO the plant
as soon as ore shipments warrant. The
process * % include both a~malgama
ton, concentration and cyaniding, as
by the utilization of the three it is
expected that but a very small per
cent of gold will escape from the
plates and go off in the taiIings. The
plant is said to be of the most modern
character and to be thoroughly equip
ped in all it's departments. Particular
attention has been devoted to the as
saying department with the result that
1T is fitted up with an u~p-to-date outfit,
including the most delicate and sensi-
tive of balances.

the January Jones Leasing and Devel-
oping Co., "a corporation just organized
under the laws of Arizona, with a cap
ital stock of 100000, divided into
100000 full paid and worcestershire
shares, par value 81. One hundred
thousand shares have been placed in
the treasury, and of this amount offer
$4,000 shares at so cents to my friends
and clients. These shares are an excep-
t~ionally good investment as the COM
pany is ~conservatively capitalized and
possesses good management and great
earning power. In brief, this corpora
ton has been formed to operate a num-
pany has acquired on rich mines in
Goldfeld and other proven camps and
to provide an organization wherein my
friends and clients can cooperate with
me and enjoy the heavy profits of a
skillfully conducted leasing PROPOSE
ton. I viii apply the same principles
as were employed by me in operating
the famous January lease, which yield
ed nearly 81, 900 to myself and CO.
partners in less than a year. Already
the company is on the high road to
success, as a lease owned by it on the
Atlanta has the ledge, and picked sam
pies show assays up to $500. This At
Ianta lease joins the end lines of the
Jumbo (Which yielded nearly $780,
900 to various leasers), and the Jumbo
ledge can be definitely traced into our
ground.

OPTIMISTIC.
Predicts Active Stock Market and In
crease in Price Within 80 Days.

John Donnellan, of the Kenneth
Donnellan company, stock brokers
and mining investments, is convinced
that the stock market and general
mining business are to receive an i'm
petus within the next thirty days. He
believes that prices will increase stead
lily, hat the tone of the market will
be firm, and that the demand for bona
ide mining property win increase ma
terially. Mr.. Donnellan recently re-
turned from an extended visit in San
Francico, and bases his opinion upon
the sentiment which prevails among
the brokers and investors of the Pacific
coast metropolis. In speaking on min
ing matters in general to a reporter
of the News yesterday, Mr.. Donnellan
said:
"The general sentiment, both of
is that the stock market will become
animated to a marked degree by Sep
TENDER Is, and that prices will advance
steadily and in some instances rapid
iy. The Goldfeld, Bullfrog and Tono-
pah stocks will be the most active and
will show a very appreciable increase
in price. One of the conditions which
impressed me most forcibly on the
coast is the fact that the investing
public is fighting shy of wild cat com
panies which have been foated in this
district, and that prospective purchas-
ers are inquiring more carefully about
the merit of Goldfield stocks; not
only in regard to the personnel of the
directorate, but also in relation to the
location of territory and it's actual and
prospective value.
"A great deal of money from the
east and middle west win be proffered
TO the local and San Francisco brokers
for investment here about the middle
OF September; and there win also be
an influx of California capital for the
development and purchase of property.

Goldfeld Postmaster Refutes State
meEt That Second-Class Mail
Is Burned

J.. III. Crossman of Goldfeld, who is
at present in New York City, hands
the Goldfeld postmaster a nasty little
roast which incidentally reflects dis
credit on the camp, according TO a dis.
patch from the first mentioned city,
which was published in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle of August Is. The dis
patch reads as follows:
NEW YORK, August 13. l.. ii.
Crossman Of Goldfeld, New, who is
in this city, says the postmaster at
day after the Office closes. Persons
who subscribe for papers are allowed
to gather around and see them burn.

plain to the Postoffice apartment in
Washington, but the postmaster re-
ferred him to a letter posted in his
Office. This letter purported to be from
an assistant in the Washington de-
partment, and authorized the Goldfield
postmaster to destroy all but first-class
mail by fire.
Crossman says he asked the Goldfeld
official then if he wouldn't let him
go into the pile of papers each day
and pick out his paper, but the post
master wouldn't listen to this. The
Office was established to handle the

BURTON IS VICTOR
 IN HOUSE FIGHT Hemenway is Completely Put
 to Rout SPEAKER IS 0VERRULEO MT. Hemenway, Seeing His Defeat, Moved Passage of sundry Civil Bill, Which Carried Amid
 Applause.

Washington, February 27.-With a handful of republicans and aided by the democrats Representative Burton of Ohio. today gained complete control of the House and forced an amendment to the sundry civil bill. requiring the use of granite in the construction of the pub lie building at Cleveland. his home town.
 2 Chairman Henenway of the appropria- ton committee was put to rout, while the unusual spectacle was witnessed of the presiding officer being twice over ruled on an appeal from his decisions. The amendment, however, not agreed to until MT. Hemenway had ex- hausted unsuccessfully every means at his disposal to check the tide against him. In order to adopt the amendments it was necessary to revert to a page of the bill already passed over, procedure also unusual.
 Seeing that he had been outflanSed by MT. Burton, MT. Hemenway several times sought an adjournment after the bill had been reported to the House for favorable action, but his motions were voted down So clearly were he and his followers in the minority, that MT. Hem enway interrupted a roll call to move the passage of the bill, which carried amid loud applause. The bill carries a total appropriation of $65 272, ,2S0.
 Earlier in the day the conference re- port on the army appropriation bill was agreed to, and number of measures pertaining to the District of Columbia were passed.

At the Bilou.

William Bramwell in Captain Barring ton" at the Bijou theatre last night played the leading role in a delightful colonial drama in a way to justify the claims made by his press agents. The play is beautiful in theme. exciting in plot and unusually well acted. Mir. Bram- we'll is himself finished player of good stage presence who puts all the neces- sary spirit into the three roles which he essays and he is supported by we'll balanced company.
 The story of Captain Harrington" tells of stirring incidents in colonial times when there was a plot laid to capture General George Washington. There are twin brothers who figure prominently in this affair. One of them is Captain Harrington of the British army: the other is Lieutenant George Fielding of the con- tinental forces. Their relationship Is un- known to the two brothers. The plot, of course. fails, but not before confusion Of identity results in a number or excit- ing climaxes.
 Mir Bramwell plays three parts-that of Captain Burlington, that or Lieuten- ant Fielding and that of General George Washinpton. In each he acquits himself cred,tably, while the support rendered him by Miss Catherine Calhoun Is very good. ''Captain Harrington does not ap- neal to the gallery element by any .,hlood and thunder element but it is a very pretty play and one of the most handsomely staged dramas that mas been seen in Birmingham this season
