USE DREDGEs TO MINE GOLD.
Much Wealth Being Taken From
Fields of California.

The latest evolution in the systems
and appliances of gold mining is that
Of the dredge. The yield in Califor-
mia from the dredges now exceeds the
combined yield of the hydraulic and
drift mines of the state, and also
greatly exceeds the placer yield. The
system of the dredging is practically
a form of placer mining, where i'm
proved modern appliances are utilized
to handle large quantities of a%urifer-
Gus material in a brief space of time,
and without the use of water under
high heads, or the necessity of long
tunnels. AS a usual thing, ground sup
posed to be suitable for dredging is
not bought outright, while still un-
proven. 1t is taken under bond for
a specified time and for a specified
price, those who bond it being ex-
pected to go to the expense of run
ming the prospecting drills and of
proving the ground. If the expected
values are not forthcoming the bond
lapses, whereas, if the prospecting
shows the ground to be valuable for
the purposes desired, then the pur-
chase is concluded according to the
terms of the bond. Aside from a par
tial payment, time enough is usually
given so that a certain proportion of
the purchase price may be obtained
from the ground itself through the
medium of the dredges. The price of
available ground of this character is
gradually being advanced, so that, ex-
cept in unproven localities, it may no
longer be bought at low cost.-Sunset

SUICIDE USUALLY ON IMPULSE
Seldom the Result of Reason or Long
Pondering.

~Pondering.
Rather numerous instances of con
tempt for 'the canon 'gainst self
slaughter" recently have appeared
and the philosophers are seeking tc
explain the treason" for this or that
particular cas- of suicide.
AS a matter of fact, nothing per.
haps is more clearly established than
that there is no reason in or for sui
eide, in the preponderating mass of
cases. This statement probably
ought to be amended so as to read
that there is no reason for suicide
outside of the individual, for about
all the reason for self-destruction
usually is found in the condition of
the individual.
That suicide is prevalent conspicu-
ously among certain races, and dis
tinctively SO among the Germanic peo-
pies, is evidence that the reason is
to be found in the individual rather
than in environment.
A wise man said once that he had
known many suicides, but was ac-
quainted with few who could not or
would not have come back to terres-
trial existence if they had the choice,
since the conditions which they had
been unable to bear we're of so short
life.
