INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE
Gold of Great Value in the Aggregate ls Recovered Through a New
 Process.

In California gold mining the sep arating apparatus of the most modern type of dredge is mounted on the all steel body of a specially adapted shoy- el car, on trucks resting on railroad track laid on the bedrock These trucks are very heavy and are so de signed as to provide, while digging, a bedrock base of twenty by twenty-six feet
 The dipper. caIed in foreign eoun- tries a bucket, has a capacity of two cubic yards, or over, and speed linit of about two per minute. Ii can swing the whole circle, says the Rosary Mag azine, and can make a cut fifty feet wide.
 It digs, when required, eight feet below the track, opens and closes auto. matically at the right points. taking in everything from grass roots to bed rock. including boulders two and a half feet in diameter, which readily pass through treatment, and handling tlose of five tons weight with ease and celerity.
 The proportion of microscopic gold contained in placer ground is astonish- ing. Black sand from the waste from an undercurrent or sluice, after all gold had been extracted that could be saved with rifles and quicksilver was used in ordinary placer operations, al most always shows the presence of microscopic gold Incomplete tests of surface gravel below the mills at Black Hawk, Colorado, indicated that nine tenths of the gold was of microscopic fineness.
 The truth is that the bulk, certainly not less than 75 per cent. of all the gold in alluvial deposits, consists of bits so small as to be not only en- tirely unsavable by any of the de vices employed in the past, but, ex- cepting perhaps very small percen, tage, invisible to the human eye. The dredge and the modern separator are now extracting this gold and adding it to the worlds supply of the precious metal.

Baroness Beaumont.

abeyance and Mona Stapleton became Baroness Beaumont in her own right.
 She and her sister, the Honorable Ivy Stapleton, who is the present heir to the title, have lived ideal children's lives at the baroness's splendid castle in Yorkshire, Carlton Towers. All the responsibilities of her position have been taken off her youthful shoulders by her mother, and the only occasions when 1t has literally weighed on her were when she had to take her place, clothed In hot red velvet and fur, among the barons in Westminster Alb bey for King Edwards coronation in 1902 and again last year at King Georges. At the first ceremony she was just eight years old and had to be accompanied by nurse, and the stuff fy abbey, her clothes and the long service. of which she could hear little and understand nothing. were most wearisome to the child accustomed all her life to an outdoor country life. Probably she enjoyed King Georges coronation little more, as she had reached the age when most girls real ize something of thier own import ance.
