MAGAZINE REVIEW.
Cold from Ocean Sands.


From Shasta to San Deigo, all the
way along the shores of the Pacific ocean
there IS gold in the black sand which,
for the greater part Of the length OF
the state, underlies the gray and yellow
sand Of the beach. This has been known
TO mining men for a score Of years or
more, but ever since they found it out
they have been completely basfled in all
efforts at getting il, SO writes Harry
I'll. Dunn, in the Technical World Maya
zine for March.
The values in the sand are low, not
more than twenty five cents pr ton,
and the sea washes heavily over all man
uer of structures which are Set UP on
the beach to separate the sand from Its
gold These were the two principal OBJ
staeles to be 81 rcomes 10 find ma
chine which would withstand the storms
of winter and the tides of summer, and,
It the same time, be delicate enough To
draw the gold from the black mass Of
the beach.
At last, however, Che riddle has been
solved, despite the wrecking Of one Of
the plants with which the work was
commenced. and recent cleanup Of one
days run Of 1000 tons Of black sand
paid S200 over and above all expenses.
The full value Of the gold in the sand
could it have been entirely removed
would have been $3.50, the actual amount
taken out was about S235 worth, max
ing the cost Of handling that 900 tons
OF sand triae more than three cents a
ton, the cheapest mining yet known to
man.

The Times is pleased at the appear
ance Of Mr.. Stanton in the race for the
nomination for governor Zed has been
a pretty regular candidate for Office in
Washington county for the past twenty
years, and most of the time he has held
some office, 50 that any apparent lack
OF enthusiasm for him in his home
county must not be misunderstood by
other communities or candidates. BY
the entry Of the ex-lieutenant- governor
into the race, we are assured OF con-
test that will find the delegates pretty
evenly divided when convention time
comes. and may result in condition
that will bring about the denomination
of Governor Proctor. Both Mr.. Prouty
and AIR. Stanton are good men, lone
good business man, the other a good
attorney,-but The Times feels that the
friends OF either win not want to claim
that they have ever shown in their pub
lie life 4 business or executive ability

10 this paper still holds TO the opinion
that the state cannot do better this
year than BY re-electing him to another
term.
