Madam Gold Minino,

Up until about 1880 only placer or surface gold was mined-that is. free gold. deposited in the beds of streams. in sauds and in the crevices of rocks. Placer mining. mainly in new and re mote regions, still furnishes q material though not large percentage of the worlds output. Formerly the alluvfal gold was separated from the sands and gravelS containing Ii by washing them in pans. cradles. rockers and sluices. In 1852 the hydraulic method was first employed in California By this means giant stream of water turned against the side of a mountain washes everything before 1t. The gold settles to the bottom of the tunnel CT sluice through which the gravel. Sand and water flow In 1SS9 drPdgeS Ci excavaturs were first used in AuStra Iia. Today steam and electric. dredges produce considerable portion of the worlds output.-Byron W. Holt in Ev- erybody's.

LEEVER QUITS DIAMOND
 WITH HONORABLE RECORD

Minneapolis. Feb. 5samuel Leever pitcher last season on the Minnea- polls club and one of the most inter- esting characters in baseball, was giv- en his unconditional release by Pres ident Mike Cantillon.
 Last May, when the Mil CTS were in the throes of a losing streak that boded i'll for championship aspirations Leever was hustled from his home in Goshen, Ohio, and joined the club at Columbus. As reward for long and faithful service at Pittsburgh, where he wrote his name in red ink across the history of baseball, he was also given an unconditional release After leaving the Pirates. the veteran hoped to spend the remainder of his life on his Ohio farm and enjoy the fruits of his labOrS, and it was only after much cajoling on the part of President Can tfllon that he was finally coaxed into the harness aga4n.
 Leever spent the greater part of his baseball life with the Pittsburgh club. How he happened to join the Pirates Sam explained one night last summer. when a bunch of the Millers were in- duIging in their evening gossip. Here is the way Sam told 1t:
 ''I used to teach school in Ohio and play ball in the summer when was wasn't a great deal of money in the pedagogue business and I began to get dissa tisfied. The nearby towns ali had teams, and I pitched for them all in turn. l never was very dnA1OuS to get into professional baseball and don't think I'd have done 50 if they had paid me more for teaching school.
 well. one day a Pittsourgh scout asked me to sign up. I had heard of the big pay the players got and the figures he named were a disappoint- ment But thought it over and after Iookine, at the matter from every an- gle put my name to the document. As the pay offered me was more than I could make instructing the young Americans cast my lot with Pitts bureh. and I was never sorry for it.

 MAKE GOOD IN NEW YORK
Local Fight Fans Sec Bridgeport Boxers in Bouts Before Fair
 mont A. O.

Local fight fans who went to New York Saturday night to see Al Ketch- ell and Young Bosse show their skill before the Fairnont A. C., were jubi- Iant at the showing of the Bridge port fighters. It was the general opinion that Ketchell should be given a draw in his bout with Eddie Smith. 8 New York boy. Smith is a rough fighter and he was hiTsed for his un- fair tactics. KetcheI1 landed often enough on Smith but did not do much damage. The bout went ten rounds.
 Young Bosse was the hit of the evening. He went on with Pat Bed ley of Philadelphia and handed the Quaker a bad beating. Bedley start ed as if he intended to slaughter Bosse and he did manage to rock the local boy with several good swats on the jaw. But Bosse took all punish rnent without f1inching and then pro ceeded to go after Bedley. Although the Quaker was much heavier, Bosse gave him a bad beating. He closed one of Bedley's eyes, fractured his nose s.AId cut his low lip. The bout went ten rounds.

Richard MSrqucrd. the rangy south paw of the Giants. threatens to seri- ously affect ths serene confidence Of the champions In a second consecutive pennant by becoming a bad, bold, hold-out" man. Richard, better known as ''Rube'', has been circulating broad cast among his friends that he would not sign a 1912 contra, 3t at the figure offered him. Said decision was fully substantiated by the big fellows re- cent actions. For be 1t known that Richard fell down on an assignment Saturday afternoon, and that Manager John J. McGraw is very. peeved thereat.
 An appointment with McGraw had been arranged for the club officers in the St. James's Building Saturday afternoon. McGraw was on hand; Marquard was not.

 Don't let the fans get the impres- sion that the Bridgeport club will consist entirely of youngsters this morning. I'm going to try out a number of recruits but I'll be satis- fled if I get two or three good ones out of the bunch.

I figure to have the squad report about April Srd- and by April 15 the big leagues and the In- ternational clubs will begin to discard surplus talent. By that time I will know how my material stacks up and if the players can't deliver l can get in touch with the Higher class leagues and grab some men to fill the gaps"
