ARREST Of FLOWER

looking for several years. Flower

vas a gentleman of various activi-
ties. After operating in different
cities he came to New York and was
first known there as the proprietor Of
a "medican institute" which at
tracted some attention from the po-
lice. Not content with the profits
mostly n.farious derived from
his patients, he started the broker
age firm of r. c. Flower G Co.,
which did a profitable business. The
firm actively dealt in some reputa-
BILE stocks, but sandwiched in some
mining projects of doubtful worth
perhaps we should say of ~undoubted
worthlessness-the most notorious
of which was the Arizona & Eastern
Mining company. The police finally
came down on the concern. and DR..
Flower left New York for parts un.
known. One of his speeialties was
jumping bail. and bonds have been
standing against him in several
states. For some years nothing was
heard from him, but recently he was
found in Canada. He is now about
20 years old, and the detectives re-
port that he is in feeble health and
addicted to the use of drugs. 1t
was believed at one time that he had
accumulated quite a fortune. but
most of it seems to have been hid

NEVADA WONDER DIVIDEND

Owing to the decline in the price
of silver, the directors of the Ne
vada Wonder Mining company, at
a special meeting in Philadelphia
on the 2Sth inst, reduced the semi
annual dividend from 10 to 8 per
cent, payable November 81. This
is the fourth semi-annual dividend
paid by the company and amounts
to $~7O,334.75, making total divi-
dends distributed to date of 1892

August, stored practically its entire
output of silver, which constitutes

ALASKA GOLD MINING
YIELDS S100 TO A Man

According to the Boston News
bureau, George w. Sias of the VAL
DEE Creek Placer mine returned last
week from Alaska, where he has
spent the entire season installing
$780, 900 worth of machinery which
began washing on Aug. 81, and clos
ed September 20, when the mercury
struck zero.
Mr.. Silas says: I'VE didn't have
time to clean out the bed rock
where 1 estimated there is a good
100000, but from the boxes we
took out $4,000, and in doing as
sessment work On III claim we
picked up $1,000, more than $4,000
which would run as high as $50.
Some days work would yield as
much as 500 per man. Our So
inch pipe line is over a mile long and
is under a 35O-foot head. 1t car
ries more than 1000 miners inches
of water every twenty-four hours.
In Alaska they figure on five
cubic yards of gravel washed per
miners inch, but if we do next sea-
son only three cubic yards per inch
each day we should wash 5000 yards
a day. This gravel bank has return
ed 1910 per cubic yard, but esti-
mated at only 81 per yard, we shall
be making next year all the money
We could ask for. We have spent
over 100000 in the aldez creek
properties, and expect to be taking
out more than that every year.
The working time in Alaska for
hydraulicking is about $50 days. The
Guggenheims, operating about 100
miles west of us, took out $1,000
900 this season dredging, but we
can hydraulic cheaper than they can
dredge. 1 expect in a few years to
be returning a million gold a year
from u property.
Il spent a whole day at Juneau
going over the Alaska Gold Mines
property. This is destined to be the
greatest gold camp in the world.
Alaska Gold has tunneled the noun
tain for two miles and you do not
need a magnifying glass to e the
stringers of gold right through the
mountain. I don't believe this
mountain can be worked out In a
hundred years.
THE layout of the Alaska Gold
Mines company in it's engineering is
most scientific and on the biggest
scale of any gold mine in the world.
The output of this mine, combined
with the Alaska Treadwell and what
the United States Mining people
are doing in the same region will
give Juneau a gold yield that will
rival that of the Rand in South Al
RIGA"

SHORT COURSE
IN PROSPECTING
WILL BE HELD AT THE MACkAI
SCHOOL OF MINES IN
FEBRUARY

Professor f. G.. Lincoln, head of
the Mackay School of Mines, Uni
versity of Nevada, is sending out to
the press of the state a letter rela-
tive to the short course in prospect
ing which will be held during next
February at the institution. The
text of his letter follows:
The Mackay school of mines of the
University of Nevada has for its OBJ
fill positions in mines, mills and
smelters, but also to assist in every
reasonable way all those interested
in mining throughout the state Of
Nevada.
The state mining laboratory,
which is located at the school Of
mines, makes free analyses for Ne
vada p~rospectors and has already
brought the university in close
touch with many of the mining men
of Nevada and more particularly
with the prospectors. 1t has been
evident from the samples submitted
thu. t;ere are a number of import
ant minerals with which they are
lnGouuainted. and the letters rece[,-
ed have suggested that these ale
ether matters of equal importance
tu prospectors with which they are
lot sufficiently acquainted.
A short course in prospecting
will, therefore, be given at the
Mackay school of mines for the pur
pose of increasing the efficiency OF
the Nevada prospectors. The ex-
tent to which the p~rospectors have
made use OF the state mining labora-
tory leads to the belief that this
new short purse will be a%ppreciat-
ed by them. A good attendance
will be a fine thing, not only for the
prospectors themselves, but also for
the state of Nevada.
The course will be held for four
weeks during the month of Febru-
the winter when the p%rospectors can
only work with extreme difficulty on
account of the severity of the wealth.
err and most of them should, there
fore, be able to attend the univer-
sity. While the course is intended
especially for Nevada miners and
p%rospectors, it is nevertheless open
to all citizens of the state who wish
to attend. There will be no charge
for instruction, but a fee of IS will
be collected to cover in part the
actual cost of supplies used during
the course. Two lectures will be
given every week day with the ex-
ception of Saturday and laboratory
exercises will be held every week
day, including Saturday.
The following subjects will be
taken up: Excavation of earth and
rock, nine lectures, Prof. Lincoln;
prospecting, nine lectures, Prof.
Lincoln; mineralogy, eight labora-
tory exercises, Prof. Jones; geology
of mineral deposits. ten lectures,
