dredgers on their property.
The company is composed of Sac
ramento business men and the initial
trial of the dredger was made in the
sacramento valley. Since that time
number have been placed in use in
different districts and all have work
ed satisfactory. The officers are M.
A. Nurse, president and manager;
John F. Armstrong, secretary; B. F..
Howard, treasurer; Charles A. Bliss,
attorney. The directors compose the
following: M. A. Nurse, John F.
Armstrong, Charles A. Bliss, w. o..
Bowers, F. w. Hatch, A. NJ. McCol-
lum and S. E. Cuisine, all of Sacra-
mento.
The gentlemen were induced to
visit this section of the country and
Manhattan in particular by Captain
Henry, who is thoroughly familiar
with the operations of the machinery,
and who at the time of the first placer
excitement In the northern camp be-
came aware of the advantages of u.s.
ing the pneumatic process in working
the ground. The gravel bed overlay-
ing the bed rock can easily be con-
veyed to the surface and when the
samples show that the pay streak
has been worked, the dredger is NOV
ed the necessary distance and new
hole sunk. The method is economical
and mining men who are familiar
with the placer deposits in different
parts of the world and who have wit
messed the operations of different
constructions, state this is far SUI
perior.
'Messrs. Nurse and McCollum leave
this morning for their homes in Sac
ramento, but both state they will re-
turn here within short time.

OFFICIALS OF THE
DREDGING COMPANY
VISIT MANHATTAN
Prominent Sacramento Business Men
Here for the Purpose of Installing
New Device in Placer Fields.

M. A. Nurse, A. NJ. McCollum and
Captain o. Henry have returned from
Manhattan, where they spent several
days in looking over the placer fields.
Mr.. Nurse and Mr.. McCollum are
officers of the Pneumatic Dredge COM
pany, which has lately introduced to
the west a pipe dredge for the pur-
pose of the lifting and transmission
of soil for levee building, reclamation
and placer mining. The machine is
late invention and is constructed in
way that placer dirt valued at Is
cents cubic yard can be worked at
a huge profit.
The dredge is different from the
many others now being worked, for
1T begins at the bottom to extract the
soil instead of working from the top
down. A pipe is sunk to the desired
depth and then suction forces the
gravel and water to the surface where
1t can be transported a distance of
500 feet. The sinking of a 50-foot
hole can be done in twenty minutes
and it is estimated that over 1000
cubic yards of dirt can be excavated
and run through the placer boxes in
days time. The power used is cleo
tricity and four-inch pipe line can
convey a sufficient water supply as
the machinery is so arranged that
the water can be used over and over
again.
The machine is adapted particular
ly for use in such a country as the
Nevada placer fields and should one
be installed in Manhattan it will Gre
ate a new era in the placer mining
industry of Nevada. There is also
some talk of the operators of the lone
placer district installing one of the

SHELTER At
LODI Will START
next MONTH
GILBERT G. ROSS REPORTS
GREAT ACTIVITY THROUGH
OUT THE DISTRICT.

Gilbert c. Ross, who has just re-
turned from Lodi, in the northern
part of Nye county, reports re-
markable amount of activity in that
old camp. A syndicate, whose Ne
vada representative is DR.. Burt, has
expended about $4,000 in the last
few months in the erection of smell
ter and other work necessary to the
economical treatment of the silver
lead ores of the Lodi region. This
smelter will be blown in about the
fifteenth of next month If Superin-
tendent Hubert Elton is able to get
the material now at Luning into
camp without further delay.
In order to transport freight from
Luning, the nearest railroad station
into Lodi, the company has invested
in both steam and gasoline traction
engines. These, however, have not
yet proven satisfactory, and at the
present time their work is being sup
pIOHSAJSu ny ISdllSlSTS.. III the
neighborhead of hundred head of
horses are now engaged in hauling
from Luning to Lodi.
In addition to treating the ores of
their own mine the Lodi people will
be prepared to do custom work, and
promise to smelt ores at a rate that
will make it profitable to work many
properties at present idle. Accordz
ingly prospecting and relocating
throughout all the country in the vi
cinity of Lodi is being engaged in
with renewed activity
The town at the Lodi mine and
smeNer is known officially as Bob.
The Bob Townsite company is in
charge of Charles F. Spillman, for
mer Goldfeld newspaper man, who
is certainly hustler.
The old Lodi property, at present
being operated by DR.. Burt and his
associates, has produced hundreds of
thousands of dollars in the past.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)

LONDON, March 3.-The social
world of England is discussing
nothing else just now but the
great match which has been made
between Lord Dalmeny, oldest son
Of Lord Rosebery and one of the
richest men in England, and Miss
Dorothy Alice Margaret Grosvenor,
granddaughter of the late duke of
Westminster.
Lord Dalmeny for years has
been considered a great catch
among the British aristocracy. He
has been reported engaged many
times. The latest engagement to
be broken off is said to have been
with Zna Dare, the musical COM
edy actress.
Six years ago Dalmeny inherited
all the wealth of his mother, who
was the only daughter and heiress
of Baron Mayer de Rothschild. He
will also inherit all the estate of
his father, who is one of the great
est land owners in the British
Isles.
OF late years Dalmeny Is said to
have been consistent distributor
of wealth in the sporting set,
dropping incredible sums at horse
racing and maintaining expensive
stables. He is a member of par
lament, but may resign because
he is not in sympathy with the
socialist schemes of the Liberal
party.
His fiance is 10, delightfully."-
fresh and charming. She hasn't
much money of her own. There is
little doubt that as soon as they
are safely married Dalmeny will
be given a colonial governorship,
and it is now believed he is slated
to be the next governor general
of Canada.

BLOCKS BIC
POWER
GRAB
Scheme of Hartman Is
Headed Off by Presi-
dent in Creation of
Reserve.
BY SAMUEL M. EVANS
(Member United Press staff.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8.
Following the discovery of what
is believed to be a gigantic
scheme on the part of the Harri-
man lines and allied interests to
gain control of the electric power
situation in Northern California
and Nevada by the purchase of
options on all the available power
sites on unappropriated lands,
President Roosevelt today signed
proclamation adding 100000
acres to the Tahoe forest reserve,
dealing a staggering blow to the
Hartman interests and at the
same time carrying out his policy
of the conservation of natural
wealth for the use of the whole
people.
The proclamation signed today
was the result of a prolonged in
vestigation by agnts of the for
est service and came only after a
bitter struggle between the gov
ernment and the interests oppos-
ing the addition. 1t was signed
after formal protest had been
lodged against 1t by Congressman
Englebright of California. Engle-
bright carried his fight against
the forest service into congress,
where Pinchot has many enemies
from various parts of the country
where he has trod upon the toes
of corporate interests in his for
est policy.
A bill by Englebright is now
pending in the house to take away
from the president the power to
create any new national forests
in California or to make additions
to existing reserves. The bill puts
this power into the hands of con-
gress, where action is slow.
The addition to tn Tahoe forest
reserve was first contemplated by
the forest service in order to pre-
serve from depreciation the timber
'on the headwaters of the Yuba
and American rivers and to regu-
late the flow of these streams
which annually overflow their
banks, destroying hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of
property.

this morning were unable to mus
ter the necessary two-thirds vote
to sustain the rules of the house
and pass their local option bill.
The drys resisted on the ground
that they had not had time to
digest the smaller amendments.
McMaster said that the drys had
no idea of making a further fight
on the bill and their plea for de-
lay was made in good faith.
There is considerable talk con-
corning q rumor that Governor
Hay will refuse to sign the local
option bill when 1t comes to him.
The house this morning killed
3enick's two bills, which looked
to the prevention of the burning
of slashings during the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition. The OBJ
ject of the bills was to prevent
the obscuring of the sky by dense
volumes of smoke while Eastern
visitors were attending the fair.
The bill of Davis of Pierce
county providing that county
clerks shall deposit trust funds
in the bank, met a similar fate.
