NEW DEVICE FOR
SAVING FINE GOLD

The Deverell fine gold saver is new
device which is being utilized in con
nection with dredging operations,
though not necessarily confined to
dredges. The first of these is in use
by the Elk City Dredging Co., of Elk
City, Idaho, and another is to be in
stalled by the Salmon River Mining
Co., of Dixie. Excellent results are
said to have been secured. The ma
chine is being put out from Victoria,
b. G. Following is brief inventor s
descriptions:
The upper half of the machine is
what might be described as com
pound rocker" having many decks, so
arranged that by the use of clever
equalizer each deck is supplied with
an equal amount of fine gravel and
sand (Which has previously passed
through the screen on the top deck) !;
thus giving very large surface and
avoidance of packing of the black
sand so detrimental to the saving of
fine gold values.
On the top deck is fitted suitable
screen and Hungarian rifles, over
which all coarse gravels 60, and the
coarse gold is likewise cared for. The
bottom half of the machine is an en-
tirely new principle as applied to gold
saving, but has proved to be so truly
wonderful that experienced millmen
who have seen it declare it to be the
best concentration in the world. 1t
comprises a series of round table
decks, fitting neatly over each other,
having a suitable pitch from center to
rim; and are supplied, by means of an
other clever distributor, with the
gravels, etc, which have already pass
ed over te upper decks, each deck also
getting an equal amount. These round
table-decks, having a different action
in vibration and flow of water, are
able to save the very finest of fine
gold which may have passed over the
upper decks; and these decks in turn
spill the waste gravel into dumping
fmme.
All parts of the machine are con-
structed of the best and strongest ma
terial with view to long service, and
are very strong and durable. They
can be shipped knocked down where
transportation in convenient size or
weight is required, being easily set up
and bolted together.
On all the decks a material especial
ly adapted to the saving of fine gold
is used
These machines are very easy to
cleanup A special cleanup table
is fitted SO that the concentrates from
the decks may be run through while
the machine is still working, thus saw
ing time and labor.
The machines are operated with the
same water that is used to wash the
gravel by means of an over-shot wa
ter wheel creating the necessary mo-
tion, or can be run by any other suit
able power.

MACKAY AGAIN
fNDOWS U. OF N.

At the Commencement exercises at
the State University, yesterday morn
ing President Stubs read the follow
ing communication from Clarence II .
Mackay:
253 Broadway, New York,
May IL, 1912.
DR.. Joseph f. Stubs, President Uni
versity of Nevada, Reno, Nevada.
My Dear President Stubbs:
The payment falling due next month
would make the fifth and final amount
due under my guarantee of 1907
was to receive the sum Of $4,000 per
annum for the instruction of the stud
ents attending the University of Ne
vada.
Ever since the completion of the
Mackay School of Mines, / have
watched its development with the
keenest interest and no little pride
have, as you are aware, kept in
touch with the progress of the work,
for / felt that much depended on the
outcome, and ! had made up my mind
that once a standard has been set
there must be no backward step. The
result of my observations has been
that-to use a plain Americansm-t
Mackay School of Mines, under wise
and able guidance of yourself and its
instructors, has made good, and it is
with the deepest qualification and
pleasure that my mother and / wish to
formally notify you that we will each
donate $50 shares of the four ner cent
Mackay Preferred stock, making a
total of 800 shares, par value $780,
600. and yearly income of $4,000, for
the purpose of endowing the Mackay
School of Mines, in order that the fu-
+ure generations may have the advan--
tages of a mining education. which
may help them to go out and grapple
successfully with the world. 1t would
seem particularly appropriate that
this gift should be made in shares of a
company bearing our name the
origin of which was made possible by
the soil of Nevada.
Let me ask you to convey to the
students attending the Mackav School
of Mines the following message, which
hope will serve as a motto not only
for them. but for succeeding genera
tions. and that is,
/" Keep your standard of life high. -
With cordial good wishes on Com
mencement day to yourself, Regents,
Trustees, Faculty and Alumni of the
University, I am,
Yours faithfully.
CLARENCE III. MACKAY.

COMPLAINS OF AC-
RICULTURAL SCHOOL

In rural precincts there is much
plant against the manner in which
the agricultural department of the
state university is conducted at the
present time which requires that APP
plicants shall have passed a credible
examination in high school work. In
the same course at Logan, Utah,
students are admitted upon eighth
grade diplomas, and as a natural con-
sequence the farmer bows from eastern
Nevada go to Logan for their agricul-
tural training, says the Ely Record.
In most instances it is struggle
and a great hardship for boys and girls
in rural districts to attend school.
Many of these little people are com
PEELED to wade through snow from one
to several miles in order to secure
eighth grade certificates.
There are very few parents among
the ranchers who can afford to send
their children to the conuty high
school, and therefore they are cut off
from the advantages of attending the
agricultural department of the state
university. AS a matter of fact the
farmers are the bone and sinew of this
state, for when the camps go down and
out, as they often do, it is the farmer
and his children who remain and hold
the valleys from deteriorating into a
desert waste. 1t is not essential that
in order to study for agricultural pur-
suits young man should pass through
county high school, and by so ruling
the University of Nevada is denying
the boys from the farm the very ad
vantages for which the agricultural
establishment was created.
Nevada has unlimited agricultural
possibilities, and its university should
be conducted upon as liberal lines as
that of Utah. Hard headed farmers,
who work from O'Clock in the morn
ing until late at night, are of the
opinion that it is not necessary for
their sons to acquire dead languages
and higher mathematics before receiv-
ing instructions in soil, fertilization
and agriculture, and they are eminent
" correct.
What our farmers demand, and have
a right to expect, is that their sons
be given the same opportunities in
their native state as are offered them
in Utah.

RIVER GAGING BY THE UNITED
STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The United States Geological Survey
maintains more than l,500 gaging sta
tions on rivers in the United States
for the purpose of determining stream
flow. The information obtained by
these gagings is needed in projecting
water storage for irrigation, municip-
al use, water power, manufacturing,
river control and land drainage.
The extensive irrigation projects
now in operation or construction IN
the arid parts of the west are based
on stream gagings made by the Geo
logical Survey, and any general sys-
tenn of land drainage or river control
as well as all water supply or water
power projects must rest on the same
basis.
The stations at which these gagings
are made are shown in a report Just
published by the Survey and Water
Supply Paper $50, compiled by b. d.,
Wood This paper shows by drainage
areas the streams gagged and the loca-
ton of the gaging stations and con
tains complete list of the surveys
publications relating to water re-
sources. The paper includes full in
dex by states and by authors and can
be obtained without charge from the
Director of the Survey at Washington.

ALMOST A MIRACLE

One of the most startling changes
eyre seen in any man, according to
w. b. Holsclaw, Clarendon, Tex, was
effected years ago in his brother. "He
had such dreadful cough,' he
writes, "that all our family thought
he was going into consumption, but he
began to use DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry, and completely cured by ten
bottles. Now he is sound and well and
weighs 218 pounds. For many years
our family has used this wonderful
remedy for Coughs and Colds with ex-
cellent results ," It's quick, safe, re-
liable and guaranteed. Price so cents

The following bill, introduced in the
Senate by Senator Nixon on March 81,
was passed May IL:
A BILL
To provide for an enlarged homestead
entry in Nevada, where sufficient
water suitable for domestic purposes
is not obtainable upon the lands.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
sembled,
That whenever the Secretary of the
land in the State of Nevada subject to
entry under the act ito provide for
an enlarged homestead - approved
February 10, 1909, do not have upon
them sufficient supply of water suit
able for domestic purposes as would
make continuous residence upon the
lands possible, he may, in his discre-
tion, designate such tracts of land, not
to exceed in the aggregate two million
acres, and thereafter they shall be
subject to entry under this act with
out the necessity of residences; pro
vided, That in such event the entry
man on any such entry shall in good
faith cultivate not less than one
eigth of the entire area of the entry
during the second year, one fourth
during the third year, and one-half
during the fourth and fifth years after
the date of such entry, and that after
entry and until final proof the entry
man shall reside within such distance
of said land as will enable him sue
cessfully to farm the same.

REPORT HEAVY CROPS
IN THE INLAND EMPIRE
Especial to the Silver State.)

NoQttidl VI tuC oilVcI 0tdLc.J
SPOKANE, Wash, May 16.- Bank
ers, millers, commission men and trans
portation officials returning from tours
of eastern Washington and Oregon,
northern and central Idaho, western
Montana and southeastern British
Columbia report that crop conditions
were never brighter in the Pacific and
intermountan country than at pres
ent. Indications are the grain and
hay yields will be the largest in the
history of the district, because of
abundant moisture during the winter
months and the increased acreage. The
apple, prune, pear, peach and cherry
crops also give promise of being record
breakers.
Assessors of the various counties in
the Inland Empire district report that
mixed farming is being practiced more
extensively than before, saying also
that thousands of acres, formerly de-
voted exclusively to wheat, are now
used for diversified agriculture. Pure
bred cows and hogs are being brought
into the country from the central
states and more attention is given to
all kinds of poultry.
Samuel Galland, president of the
Spokane Clearing House association,
said in an interview today that the
banks in Spokane and throuhgout the
district have more money than they
can conveniently handle, despite the
fact that there is good demand for
loans. The association has undertak
en- to finance the apple crop this sea-
son, and for this alone it is estimated
that fully $l5,000,000 will be re-
quired.
There is greater activity than at any
previous time in the last four years in
metal operations, and it is reported by
operators that not less than a dozen
properties in Washington, Idaho and
the province of British Columbia will
join the list of dividend payers within
the next 90 days. The lumber industry
also is looking up, the present demand
being largely from the prairie nrov-
inces in western Canada, the Atlantic
seaboard and South America and
South Africa.

CONGRESS 10 ADJ
JOURN IN JUNE

Plans for expediting Legislation to
enable congress to adjourn prior to
the national political conventions were
considered Tuesday at conferences of
leaders of house and senate.
The house leaders outlined a pro-
gram that they believe would conclude
the business of the house by June 15.
The senate leaders reached no definite
conclusion, but the finance committee
will meet today to consider plans.
On the house side it was agreed that
the Panama canal administration bill
should be disposed of Immediately af
ter the passage of the anti-injunction
bill. Then will come the naval, mill
tary academy, sundry civil and general
deficiency appropriation bills.
The ways and means committee is to
have an opportunity to bring in an
other tariff revision bills, probably on
the cotton schedule. Chairman Under
wood said, however, that no more tar
iff legislation would be started until
the senate had acted upon bills now
pending.
Meantime, on the senate side, Senat-
or Penrose conferred with Senator
Simmons, in charge of the tariff bills
for the Democrats, to fix time for
votes. The question will be threshed
out by the finance committee.
None of the senate leaders were
sanguine as to early adjournment.
The general understanding is that
the insurgent Republicans will debate
the tariff course of the senate. The
Democrats are expected to go on record
for their own bills and then accept the
ingurgent Republican measures with
such notifications as they can secure.

NATIONAL SUIT
TRIED AT SEATTLE

Frank O'Leary, the well-known
National civil and mining engineer,
returned yesterday afternoon from Sc
attic. where he was a witness for de-
fendant in the suit of Kleesattle VS..
Orr.
1t will be remembered that last year
II. f. Orr, the Seattle real estate man,
for time worked the Mammoth Ma
tional mine, employing Mr.. Kleesattle
as his engineer. According to the evil
dence adduced at the trial, which was
commenced before Judge Wright at
Seattle on April Is, Kleesattle was to
receive for his services certain stock
in the company in addition to cash
salary, which he brought suit to re-
cover. Orr admitted the compensation
to be paid, but claimed that the cash
was to be paid only when the mine
was on paying basis, and as it had
never reached that stage during
Kleesattle's management, the cash
portion of the salary had not been
earned.
The case was argued and submitted.
