A Thing That Ought to Be One Of
the Lost Arts, But 1t Isn't.
HOW THE TRICK rs DONE
San Francisco Journal Relates a Few
Striking Examples.

For ways that are dark the
Heather Chinee is not peculiar;
there are others, says Mining and
Scientific Press. Some of those
ways are Illustrated in the selling
of mines; for instance, in "salt-
ing" This ought to be one Of
the lost arts" but owing to the
difficulty of legal conviction it
survives through many changes
of environment.
Thus. this week we heard of a
peculiarly elaborate trick. 1t was
gravel mine, in California, the
yield of which was irregular and
the value of which was uncer-
tain; nevertheless, each time any
engineer sampled it, he got good
results by panning. Finally, the
mine was sold; a new ditch was
constructed and additional equip
ment was provided, in prepara-
ton for systematic work. The
first trial proved the ground to
be too poor to yield a profit. In
the course of investigation, the
explanation was discovered. The
claim was owned by four broth
ers; whenever anyone examined
the mine, it was the custom to
pan the gravel in a side drift
near the entrance of the tunnel"
where there was flow of water
suitable for the purpose. The
owners had driven an inclined
drift and then walled it, but on
the other side of the wall there
was found a narrow passage that
J led to point exactly above the
place tor panning; small hole
had been drilled through the
hard pan" or cement, forming
the roof at the spot where the
panning was done, and through
this one of the brothers had been
in the habit of dropping the gold,
. which fell into the pan as the
= operator was busily washing the
gravel. The particular tool, 3
short pick, with which the small
;, passage had been dug, was found

: ers that one was never missed, i

- the unsuspecting visitor through

spectful distance away from hin

gineer felt positive as to the i'm

u tions of such a nefarious scheme
~ there is apparently no defens

Encouraging Letters From Compan-
les Continue to Pour In.
HOW MATTER sTANDs
Committee Trying Hard to Keep Up
Good Work So Well Begun.

Ihe past week mas Deen more IruiIIul
of assurances of support from compan-
les operating in this district than any
other period since the good road move
ment took definite form following the
appropriation of Sc, 600 made by special
act of the last legislature. The work
of the executive committee of the Good
Road League is bringing returns earlier
than was at first expected. 1t was
thought in the beginning that consider
able correspondence would have to be
exchanged with nonresident property
owners, before they would feel conf
dent enough of the genuineness of the
movement to make subscription to the
fund. 1t is happy surprise the COM
mittee has been treated to. One sub
scription of $1OO was made by one COM
pany on the strength of the first letter
sent out; another subscription of several
times that amount has been promised
on certain conditions, and several new
letters have been received the past few
days stating that the request for cash
subscription to be added to the state
and the county appropriations for i'm
movement of the mountain road will be
presented for consideration at next di-
rectors meeting. From all persons
written to comes assurance of the good
of the cause in which the good road
committee Is enlisted, and support Is
promised in nearly every instance.
AS stated last week in Mining News,
the only place where the committee is
going to fail to come up to its first cal
culations, is on those companies who
cannot be reached by mail because theil
postoffice address is not known. The
prospective shortage from that source
is more alarming to the committee nov
than a week ago, and plans are now be
ing considered to overcome that defici
ency, Some of the local business mel
have agreed to double their subscrip
tions, in which event their donation
would be more than that Of most Of tn
companies who are more able to Civ
and who will reap the most benefit fror
the improved condition of the road
The burden from doubling the local suit
t scription would be too great for a nun
i, ber, some of whom have given muc
valuable time and attention to tn
cause of good roads already.
CranseviDe Not Heard From Yet.
Just how much of subscription
the good road fund will come frol
Grangeville is not known at this tim'
but 1t is expected the county seat cit
zens will be liberal, on account of tt

GOOD ADVICE TO NEGROES

Truest Friends are Here-The Eff
ficient Workman Need Not Fear the
Foreigner.
A May barbecue a given at the
road for the benefit Of Che Nazareth
Baptist church, colored, yesterday.
The speech of the day was delivered
by E. J. Young, colo1ed, of this city,
and contained much excellent advice
to the members of the colOred race.
The speaker said among other things:
The negro's prestige in the south
is greater than anywhere else on earth.
The thing for us to do as a race is to
make good the opportunity and let
down our buckets where we are. Go
North and see who you will find laying
bricks On the so-ca,led skyscraping
building, will you sec cOlored men?
Never; will you find them in the west?
No. But look arounG in this beauti-
full south and what ID you see? You
will see negro men laying brick on the
finest buildings il the south. The ne
gro's greatest privilege is in the
south. because his best friends are in
the south I repeat that the truest
friend the negroes have in this coun-
try is in the south.
Our privileges i'll tho south are the
greatest for several reasons. One is
because here we have every Oppor-
tunity to till the SCI, and even work
on the public works ind make money,
whereas at the north n the cheap res
taurants. saloons, theatres, and other
places of amusement you have the
privilege only to spend what you have
made.
eff a colored man is a good farm
hand. a good carpenter or a man who
will work and pay his honest debts.
the southern white man will protect
him. even chedding his own blood in
his defense.
"if the negro desires 10 till the soil
and secure BONES, remain in h south
Whatever you do do ii we'll. II
you are e GARNER be the best farmer,
in the community. IL you are a cook,
be the best oooE in Charlotte; or what
ever YOU do do i we'll and no foreign
er will ever take our place, for this
is our home and We are here to stay"
