OFFICERS OF co.
Prominent Sacramento Business Men
Here for the Purpose of INSTALL
ing New Device in Placer.

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 ART
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
a late invention and is constructed in
a way that placer dirt valued at Is
cents a cubic yard can be worked at
a huge profit.
The dredge is different from the
many others now being worked, for
it begins at the bottom to extract the
soil instead of working from the tor
down. A pipe is sunk to the desired
depth and then suction forces the
gravel and water to the surface where
it 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 oven 1000
cubic yards of dirt can be excavated
and run through the placer boxes in
a days time. The power used is cleo
tricity and a 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 1t 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
dredgers on their property.
The company is composed of Sac
ramento business men and the initia
trial of the dredger was made in tn,
sacramento valley. Since that timt
a number have been placed in use il
different districts and all have work
ed satisfactory. The officers are NJ
A. Nurse, president and manager
John f. Armstrong, secretary; B. F
Howard, treasurer; Charles A. Bliss
attorney. The directors compose tn
following: M. A. Nurse, John /
Armstrong, Charles A. Bliss, w. @
Bowers. F. w. Hatch, A. M. McCoI
lum and s. E. Cuisine, all of Sacra
mento.
The gentlemen were induced t
visit this section of the country an
Manhattan in particular by Capital
Henry, who is thoroughly familia
with the operations of the machinery
and who at the time of the first place
excitement in the northern camp BIZ
came aware of the advantages of us
ing the pneumatic process in workin
the ground. The gravel bed overlap
ing the bed rock can easily be cor
veyed to the surface and when tn
samples show that the pay strea
has been worked, the dredger is moN

first day in the war Office. After read
ing the Times through-no short task
and listening to the conversation OF bis
.oi.aagues for awhile he rentured to
address his chief.
Can I do anything?" asked. "Is
there anything for me to do?'
He seemed a little perplexed. The
other denizens Of the room paused for
q moment in their conversation to hear
his reply. It seemed to me that they
appeared to be amused Ny chief look

relief. Are you fond Of indexing?"

everything that could be of tie slight

were not the exact words used. that

my chief, with q smile that found re-
fection on the faces Of my, other col.

I seized upon the bundle and return.

these circulars! There were hundreds
Of them, and I docketed them with the
greatest care and entered their purport

official chief, so to speak, looked in
upon me to see how was getting on.

be in such a desperate hurry. I am
not in immediate need Of the index.
You can take your time, you know.
Wouldn't you like stroll in the park?

But, no; stuck to my indeXing and
after some three days Of fairly hard
work found my labors done. took up
the bundle Of circulars, now in apple
pie order, and laid them on my chiefs
desk.
81 say, A'Becket," said he, "this
won't do. You are too good fellow to
be allowed to cut your own throat. and
for your brothers sake I will give you
a tip. Don't do more than you are

bother me for work. I didn't want the

a MICROSCOPE.
How 1t Opens UP the Wonders Of the
World of Nature.

"orl6 OF Nature.
IF you want to keep your boy out Of
mischief, give him L microscope, not
one Of the elaborate, intricate, expen-
sive affairs that the psychologists use
when hunting for germs, but COM
mon one with two or three lenses that
reyolve on pivot and fold into a
cover which protects them from in

There is 10 better way Of interesting
the boy in the wonders Of the natural
world than this simple contrivance,
which opens to his eyes visions Of a
universe of which ne knew nothing.
Seen through the microscope, the most
Insignificant flower becomes @thing Of
wonderful beauty. The interior Of a
nasturtium is a fairy cavern, showing
a dozen different tints and hues Of
color, with dainty white stalactites and
stalagmites almost touching each 9th
er midway between floor and roof.
He will find monsters, too, for the
head of an ant seen through micro

not help thinking what an awful as
pect such creature would present If
1t were as big as q horse. he has
heard about the creatures that are ITO

pool. He will find them for himself
and show them to other boys, and ali
his crowd will become interested and
bring in things to look at and wonder
about. He may not develop into Dar-

Richard Mansfield in his preparation
for "Cyrano" was unsparing Of him

BEETHOVEN AND BUSINESS.
Selling His Music Was Distasteful to
the Great Composer.

Selling His Music Was Distasteful to
the. Great Composer.
An extremely interesting article
which has appeared in German mu-
sical and theatrical paper under the
above heading contains the following
statement, says a London exchange:
Beethoven never bargained in the or
binary way. His fees for a compost
ton were demanded briefly and In a
decided manner, and he always pointed
out when mentioning price that he
meant guineas and not sovereigns, or,
rather, their equivalent in Austrian
coin. In 1901 he wrote to music firm
at Leipzig: "Now the unpalatahle busi-
ness part is done with. l wish things
could be managed differently in this
world. There should be only one mu-
sic publisher to whom the artist might
take his work, knowing that he might
ask a fee according to his require
ments. AS it Is, be has to be partly a
radesman. Good heavens, how diff
ferent and unpalatable this is!' But
this pious wish was never fulfilled, and
Beethoven had to remain "half a
tradesman" to the end.
AS suggestion Of how dedications
are occasionally made, the following
letter, which Beethoven wrote to the
same publisher in 1902 from Vienna, IS
interesting:
''The lady in question can have g.
sonata, and will do my best to carry
out her aesthetic ideas. The price is
5 guineas (ducaten9, and for this she
may retain the sonata for a year as
her private property. but not for pub
Ication. At the end Of the year the
sonata becomes my property-that is
to say, have the right to publish it,
and if she thinks it an honor she may
ask to have the work dedicated to
her"
This, from the business point Of view
Of the lady in question. is surely a
tempting offer At least. so the art
patroness Of today would think If she
had a chance Of suggesting to
Beethoven the aesthetic idea" for
sonata. to retain such treasure in her
own hands for a twelvemonth and
thereafter have it dedicated to her
and all for gu1neas!
