up the attempt to gain II. when he learned
that IL he sent his goods by rail to Hull,
shipped them to Germany and brought
them back to Hull, and then sent them by
train to London the cost would be 30 much
lower that he could compete with the Ger
man manufacturers. He based his price
on these rates and obtained the contract.
1t is estimated that II the government
took over the railways and ran them for
the benefit of the whole people, money
enough could be saved on management to
reduce the freight and passenger rates sub
stsntially. and at the same time insure a
better service. A railway manage has de-
clared that 100, 900 Of the 10000 men en-
ployed on the British railways are totally
unnecessary. and are only employed be-
cause of the useless duplication of facilities
caused by competition. The expense Of 80
separate boards of directors and of a host
of high officials could also be saved.
Investigate. Of aeestioH.
I am informed that Mr.. Lloyd George in
tends before long to move in Parliament
for a royal commission to investigate the
whole question OF the railways. This is
usually the first step taken by a British
government in preparing for such a radical
change, A royal commission has been In
vestigationg the railway problem in Ire
land for some time and is almost prepared
to report. The evidence given before It,
both by traders and railway men, has beer
altogether in favor of naturalization, and
there seems to be little doubt that the COM
mission will recommend that the Irish rail-
ways should be acquired by the state. II
lie quite possible, indeed. that ireland will
be the dog on which Great Britain will
try railway naturalization.

SUCKER AND Sailed NINE
Methods Employed In Separating the
Innocent from His
Money.

In the development OF the mining dis
tricts of the west there has been always
a good supply OF suckers, and the sale of
salted mines has been the result. That
there il "a sucker born every minute is
recognized by the mining shark, and 1t is
probable that in the new mining camps
OF Nevada the sale OF sailed prospects
goes merrily on.
For those to whom the term is new. It
may be said that Sailing Is the process
OF making a worthless mine. or prospect,
appear valuable to the prospective buyer.
In the early days OF the California
placer mines. when the gravel was
washed in the open and the product was
virgin gold, mine sailing was in its glory.
One OF the most successful methods OF
sailing a placer mine was the broadcast
method. In carrying out this scheme the
owner or his agent comes to the mine in
the small hours OF the night and sows
several thousand dollars worth Of gold
dust in the gravel he expects to wash the
next day. The buyer is around every day.
seeing things with HIS own eyes. and when
he sees a cleanup of several thousand dol
lars every day for a week or two he is con-
WINGED and the deal Is made. II will take
him just two days to find cut that he has
been sailed and that the daily cleanup
was practically all the gold there is in
the claim In the meantime the former
owner has had plenty OF time to make a
good getaway to pastures new.
The shotgun method of sailing a placer
mine Is the favorite method Of writer's OF
mining stories. It Is not In use at present,
and II is likely that its use has been greatly
overrated. However there was one case
in which 1t was used with good results TO
all parties concerned.
Two Englishmen were working a placer
mine In California. They had washed the
gravel until they could get no more gold.
and were preparing TO abandon their
claim, when they heard OF two Cinnamon
who were looking for a mine. They saw
the Cinnamon. and arranged TO go out
and look at the mine. They did not have
time to return to the mine. 90 decided on
a novel plan of sailing.
They had killed a rattlesnake the
evening before and had thrown it into the
cut. They loaded a shotgun with gold
dust. and when they went out to the mine
one OF the Englishmen kept a little ahead
OF the others. When he arrived at the cut
he let out a warwhoop and fired both bar
rels into the snake. films the gravel with
gold dust. The scheme worked TO perfec-
ton.
The Cinnamon were suspicious and in
sisted on taking their own samples. They
took samples in several places. panned the
gravel and were very much pleased with
the result. They offered the Engllshmen
1850 for IL. and after a little haSgiing the
deal was closed.

about $500. Another days work and
the Englishmen would have struck 1t
But even the sucker becomes wise in time.
Buyers now insist on taking their own
samples. They insist on drilling holes and
blasting out the ore and picking their sam
pies out Of the ore they have mined them
selves. But in spite Of all these precautions
they are often sailed.
Sometimes the face and sides of the drift
are drilled with a very fine drill, called a
needle drill. The holes thus made are filled
with a mixture of quartz sand. gold and
plaster OF paris. When the prospective
buyer comes along he is allowed to have
his own way about samphng the mine and
gets the sailed sample.
One Of the crudest cases Of sailing was
perpetrated by an old negro on two United
States senators and a banker. These men
though the negro too ignorant 10 salt
them.
One day a negro appear red at the hank
and asked to see the owner. He was asked
his business, and produced an assay GER
tificate showing an assay OF several hun
dred ounces per ton silver. He was ush-
cred into the back room and a messenger
dispatched to the assay office to verify the
certificate. II was found to be correct, so
the negro was held while the three capt.
talists had a consultation. II was decided
that one OF them go with the negro and
sample the prospect.
The negro was held until next day. when
he went out with the senator and sampled
the mine. The samples assayed even bet
ter than the first ones. The negro wanted
$4,000 for the mine. but they brought in a
lot OF gold coin and stacked It up in front
. Of him and e. lOOEad ~ hl1 that ~, tn1l a.
There was 5000 In gold in the pile.
He explained that he salted
the samples with chloride of silver. It was
in the hotel at the mining camp. It was
late at night and he and the senator were
the only ones in the office. The senator
went out for a few minutes, and while he
was gone the negro opened the sacks and
threw in the chloride of silver which he
had ready in his pocket. When the senator
returned he was asleep in his charlse.
