~ lfT1 years ago the country out
l. West was full Of Indians, who
gave the white people a great
deal of trouble. So there we're
forts full of soldiers scattered about
In the different States to protect the
settlers. In one of these forts lived
Colonel Winston and with him his only
daughter, Audrey, a girl of twelve.
As she was the only child among
much petted. But that did not prevent
her being a brave little maid and one
who took notice of everything that
went on in the stirring life of the
plains
The country around the fort was full
of Indians, known as the Black Feet
tribe, and their chief was a powerful
man named Red Thunder. He seemed
soldiers and, being an educated Indian,
often came to the fort to spend a while.
One summer II was decided to have
big celebration and Invite the In
dians to the games, at which Audrey
was to read off the lists and give the
prizes For the best rife shot there
was to be a beautiful gun. and there
were other fine things for those who
could wrestle best and run the fastest.
The day of the celebration dawned
bright, and soon the fort was full of
gaily painted redmen, who mingled
freely with the soldiers. The morning
was spent In looking about the stables
and grounds, but after a noon dinner
all gathered on the big parade ground
to see the contests.
1t was fine sight to see the big
green parade ground covered with
soldiers in blue, Indians in their gaudy
blankets, and the ladies in their light
gowns. Then the band played gaily,
the flags ioated over the fort In a snap
ping bleeze, and all was full of life and
gayety.
Presently the games begun and there
was great sport. But after sitting an
hour In the sun, Audrey left the grand
stand In order to get a cool drink. On
her way back she had to pass by some
thick bushes and as she did so. she
heard the sound of whispering on the
other side of the wall. She stopped.
The plan Is this" she heard said By
voice which she knew was that OF
Red Thunder. I'VE Indians are to at
tack the whites during the rife match.
The soldiers will not have any guns In
| their hands then. for their arms will
be stacked-we will have ours and can
easily secure all the firearms of the

DEFICIENCY MUST

SANE CELEBRATION
If Money Is Not Subscribed
There Will Be No More
Fireworks Display.

''Will Washington next year witness a
municipal celebration of independence
Day."
This is the question addressed to the
citizens of the National Capital today by
the safe and sane committee on the
Fourth of July. The answer depends
upon themselves. The statement is
made by the committee that II suff-
Client contributions are received to make
up a deficiency of 800 in the fund, plans
will be formulated for a celebration
next year excelling that of Thursday,
which, 1t is admitted by thousands, was
the most successful ever held under the
direction of the municipal authorities.
If not, the work OF the committee,
which heretofore has been a permanent
organization, Will be concluded with the
settling of its obligations for which the
members hold themselves personally re-
sponsible.
Small Contributions.
Contributions aggregating S27 were re-
ceived this morning. There still re-
mains deficiency of approximately
S675, which must be met If the safe and
sane celebrations of the Fourth are to
be continued in Washington.
II sincerely hope that the patriotic
residents of Washington will respond
to the appeal of the committee" said
Commissioner Rudolph, chairman todSy.
Washington was one of the first cities
to inaugurate the safe and sane Fourth.
and it has reason to be proud of its
record.
IAN argument against old fashioned
celebrations is furnished in the dis
patches from Pittsburgh. Thirty-six &C
cidents were reported and a score of
fires started with a loss of approx
mately $4,000 The list of casualties
included one dead. one broken back, one
eve lost, two badly injured, seven
fingers missing, four amputations Of
hands, two amputations of arms. three
persons seriously burned by powder eX-
plosions, and two struck by bullets.
Worked Hard.
The committee labored energetically
to make the celebration a success in all
but a financial way. The members, who
themselves contributed literally, ought
not to be compelled to bear the expense
of a celebration enjoyed by thousands.
1t now remains to see what the citizens
are going to do.
Contributions should be addressed to
George w. White, treasurer, Safe and
Sane Committee on the Fourth of July,
National Metropolitan Bank building.

TEST FOR LOW GRADE ORE
Method That Can Hardly be Sur
passed in Simplicity, Cheap
ness and Adaptness

1t is frequently ~inconvenient for pros
pectors out in the field away from town
to have assays made on rock which they
believe may contain values. but which
will not show in the pan. The following
method permits of the detection of gold
even where the value does not exceed
fifty cents per ton:
L. About four ounces of finely pull
verified ore is placed in a bottle, an equal
volume Of tincture of iodine Is added,
and the mixture agitated. The con-
tents of the bottle are kept in contact
for an hour at most, with occasional agi-
tation and finally allowed to settle. A
strip of Swedish filter paper is then in
troduced into the clear solution and
dried, these two operations being repeat
ed six times, so as to saturate the paper
thoroughly. The strip Is then burnt,
when the ash, in case gold is present,
will show a purple celebration, which,
on pouring promine water over it, will
quickly disappear sure indication of
the presence of gold. This operation is
best performed on a plate.
Q. The test for gold above described
may be altered in the following manner:
About four ounces of the finely divided
ore is covered with an equal volume of
bromine water in the same manner as
above. After standing and agitating
for an hour. the solution is filtered and
and tin chloride solution added to the
filtrate to produce the purple OF Oassius,
the appearance of which will indicate
the presence of gold. The methods
given are especially adapted for the
separation of the gold from sulphides. 1t
is necessary, however, in this case, to
roast the sulphides before the appli-
cation of the process; an operation which
can be readily accomplished in a can or
pan over the camp fire. When roasting
| pyrite for this purpose, the temperature
toward the end should be raised to a
full red heat, so as to induce complete
decomposition and render the product
porous and readily permeatable for the
iodine or bromine solutions. If the ores
to be treated contain an excess of car
Donate of lime the roasted mineral
should be gently ~reignited with m
monium or carbonate, so as to prevent
the entry of much lime into the iodine
or bromlne preparations.
To execute the tests described above
there would be required a few empty
bottles, a bottle of iodine tincture, an
other of bromine water, one containing
a solution of tanno chloride, a couple
of glass tunnels. some filter paper and
some ammonium carbonate. a list that
a hardly be surpassed in simplicity,
cheapness and adaptness.
