ELEPHANT REsESTs OPERA.

Milwaukee, April aS.-High and low brow
nmusemcnts were strangely merged at the
Milwaukee City Auditorium when the Phil
adelDhia-Chicd Grand Opera Company
came here 10 present t'Haen2cl and Gretel.'
and for {: time the strange noises which ac-
compan!ed the production OF the opern were
supposed by critical audience TO he part OF
the scenic effects attempted by the opera
oreanizat ton. Until the discovery of the
cause OF the outburst of roaring at effective
points in the opera there was criticism OF
the management for OVERRIDING effects which
dieDcc.
a small circus, practicing for its road sea-
son opening, was quartercd in the basement
OF the great auditorium, and tile big
cheStra's music reused the elephant and
tiger TO trumpetinE of protest at the inter
ruption OF their slumbers. So realistic was
the roaring MS part Of the opera that one
newspaper critic dgniiiedly criticized the
management for it's noise producing machin-
cry in the production Of the opera.

Every woman knows the
luxury of having soft water at
her command, especially for
washing clothes, but Nature
has denied this luxury to
many, especially to those living
in cities or in "hard water"
countries.
However, every woman can
have soft water in her home
with little trouble and less
expense. The sprinkling of
Gold Dust washing powder in
the water from your taps or
well will make it as soft as
the rain water that falls from
the clouds.
Gold Dust takes out the mineral
substances that make the water

METHODS OF SAVING PLACER
PLATINUM on BURLAP TABLES.
\ Home Made Contrivance That l.
Accomplishing Good Results in
Concentrating the Elusive
"Black Sand"

IN southern Oregon and northern
California plaeers. platinum occurs
in thin. minute particles. and is al
ways associated with black sand The
platinum itself is very elusive. It is
light and faky and absolutely re-
fuses to settle in the rifles. being
carried on, of over to the waste
dump by the action of the water,
writes Dennis II. Stoyell in Mining
and Engineering World.
As mercury will not hold it. the
only means of saving it during the
process of gold mining is by separa-
ton. Various means have been tried,
and possibly a hundred types of
Commentators" sand sifters," and
patent RIFLES" proved worthless.
The miners themselves. in expert
menting and testing, have hit upon
the simple scheme of drawing the
lower half of the sluice current
through a grizzly built in the bottom
of the sluiee. The lower half of the
current contains a very great por-
ton of the platinum sands. This is
then allowed TO spread over a broad
table, or set of tables, covered with
Durlap; and here the sands, with the
platinum paroles, T caught and
held.
These burlap tables are home
made affairs. In order to prevent in
reference with the regular operation
OF the sluices, and gget the greatest
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1913-07-27

portion of the platinum sands, the
grizzly is located near the end of the
last and lowest box. 1t is built as
wide as the sluiee itself. and fully 5
feet long: its length, and the aper-
lures width being largly regulated
by the quantity of water to be drawn
through. Ii is necessary, of course,
TO clean it now and then of rocks
and pebbles that lodge and prevent
the free flowing of the water. Some
miners use a sort of sluiee bottom
gate, rather than a grizzly. drawing
the water through this. As a matter
of fact, the gate plan is better than
a grizzly. as ii can be regulated more
easily by opening and closing. and is
not clogged by stones and pebbles.
But whatever method of drawing
the water from the sluice is used, the
main scheme is to get the lower half
of the current, and give it a chance
to spread over broad rifle tables
covered with burlap.
At this mine the water was drawn
through a gate, divided underneath
the sluiee-box, and allowed to spread
over two burl%ap-eoyered tables, one
on either side of the sluiee.
Every two or three weeks during
the mining season the burlap Is
rinsed in ats or pools of still water.
Because of the e%lusiveness of the par
tieles the rinsing cannot be done in
running water. The platinum flakes
settleto the bottom and are later say
ed by careful panning. This simple
method is proving quite profitable 10
those who have given it a trial.
