To start this evening class fifty, Mrs.
Ames-Lyde sent to London for teach
er from the Home Arts, who gave
some lessons to these pupils in the
Italian bent work. The workers soon
got beyond the restricted form of the
craft and launched forth into the freer
and more artistic iron work done with
the forge. 1t so happened that the
first order of any kind received at the
Thornham Iron Works was royal
one, and this at the very beginning of
its career! The agent at Sandring-

shop, got out design, and the lamp
was made by her workers within the
appointed time in the little cottage
with one forge, where all the first
work was turned out. Since then the
iron workers have been flooded with
orders not only from the royal family
and of the nobility of England. but
abroad.
The royal family at Sandringham
takes a great personal. interest in the
work, and similar establishments are
likely to crop up in various parts of
England as result of the amount of
notice the Thornham undertaking has
received. The new garden gates of
the kitchen garden at Sandringham
were made at Thornham, and the king
has also several lamps from there.

Victoria was presented by the prin-
cess of Wales, then duchess of York,
with lamps now at Balmoral. At York
Cottage are lamps belonging to the
princess of Wales. Easements and
lamps were made for Princess Charles
of Denmark's house near Sandrihgham
and Sir Dighton Probyn at Park
House, Sandringham, is the owner Of
another lamp.
Some of the best productions of the

The late Senator Hoar was extreme
ly fond of whist, which he played
with remarkable skill.
A friend says that the only time he
ever knew the usually placid and
genial man from Massachusetts, to be
absolutely impatient was when on
one occasion at whist the senator had
an unusually stupid partner. Notwith-
standing this handicap, the pair were
winning right along even against good
players.
In the middle of one game, some
one paused behind the senator's chair

In case the court decides that the

made by the order to force the rail-
roads to work a man continuously
during the time that he Is supposed
to be on duty.
Operators on the Northern Pacific
road who are working on the Pasco

AMALGAMATOR ON EXHIBIT
North Yakima Man Has Novel Gold
Machine.

A novel amalgamator has been
placed on exhibition at 2S Riverside
avenue by Will Everett Of North
Yakima. The machine consists OF
two parts, pan. shaped like a fiat
kettle with a cone rising from its
center. and a cylinder with a fun
mel top which sits over the cone. The
cylinder is prevented from touching
the bottom of the pan by diverging
supporting rods adjusted by set
screws in the outside of the pan. The
machine on exhibition is smaller than
the one which has been tested, but
the proportions are the same, the
pan of the latter being &c inches in
diameter and the cylinder 10 inches
in diameter by SO inches high.
The method OF use is as follows:
Quicksilver is placed in the pan and
the supporting rods set to submerge
the bottom of the cylinder an inch
or so below its surface, according as
the particular material to be handled
demands. Placer sand is then intro
duced in the funned top through a
sluice bax and carried downward in
to fan-like distribution by the cone.
The gravity pressure OF water forces
the stream OF sand through, while

the gold, whether float or flower, is
absorbed by the mercury.
Concerning the actual operation of
this amalgamator, Mr.. Everett said
last night:
Eve made a three-months' run
on the graves of the Kootenai river
in Montana last summer. A machine
with a SGinch pan will handle 100
cubic yards of sand in 10 hours, and
We found we could crowd it to $50.
There Is virtually no loss of mercury.
We put in 400 pounds and lost but
eight in that length of time. On the
particular sand tested we saved 81,
where but 81 had been saved before.
We save all the gold, float, -four or
nuggets. 1t has never been tried
on stamp pulp, but it would seem
1T could not fail. The bearing
matrix is all forced through the mer-
curry, and the saving of values can
not but be made. We are now hav-
ing machine made for the school
of mines at Seattle.
I'VE have been working on the
idea year and half, and 1t was
patented last November. We call it
the Sanford-Marsh amalgamator."
