A New Scheme

Two gold prospectors have completed
a plant along the Jackson creek on
property belonging to Harry Jones
ranch, and started grinding up grass
roots and soil dug from the sides of
the creek in an arastra consisting Of
a cement basin, with a large revolv
ing wheel, to which is attached heavy
rocks. AS the wheel revolves, the
rocks are drawn over the soil which is
shoveled into arastra, thereby grind
ing it to a mush, A stream of water
continually runs into the basin, which
has an overflow that carries away
floating mass. The gold settles to the
bottom of the basin, and is cleaned up

about twice week. The prospectors
are miners with general knowledge
of the various chemical actions
through which the sulphurets pass, and
claim that with sulphurets, after an ex-
posure to the elements of about 30
years, oxidation takes place, and the
free gold is deposited along the banks
of the creek, the tall grass acting as a
mat in keeping it from being washed
on down the stream. By panning the
earth along the stream, a large per
centage of gold is obtained in each
pan, and the prospectors are confident
their plant will net them good profit
when it is gotten into steady running
order. A large water wheel is used to
operate the plant.

Good Shooting by
Captain Bartlett.

A shooting exhibition was held at
Zeila park directly after the ball game
Saturday last, and proved very in
teresting exhibition. Captains George
E. Bartlett, representing Peters Car.
fridge Company of San Francisco,
did the shooting and proved himself
an elegant marksman as well as a
clever stock demonstration.
The captain shot brick to pieces as
they were tossed into the air, put
holes through pieces of steel about 2
inches square and d inch thick, and
large number of other remarkable
feats.
Bartlett was deputy United States
marshal many years ago, and as an
early frontiersman, he learned the art
of shooting that makes him popular to-
day.
The steel targets which were pune
tured while in the air are on exhibit
tion at Vela & Piccardo sporting goods
store, Main street, Jackson.

One of the best established whole

The stock they don't carry is a class

have is one secured by honest dealing,

smoked m5at that it becomes quite

cattle to Thomas, and our stock re-

them examined regular so as to pre-
vent any chances of a sick COW or

ness by giving us extra weight when
