ANCIENT MILL 26o YEARS OLD
New London's Famous Landmark Is
Still Grinding Away as
Busy as Ever.

New London, Conn.-The old town
mill, a famous landmark, is still grind
ing where 1t ground $50 years ago.
T~wenty-three years ago the Win
throp house, an old landmark, was
razed and the Winthrop school stands
on Its site. But New London has thus
far preserved her historic mill, most
picturesuely situated in a glen with
splendid elms. The roof, porch and
rafters have been renewed more than
once, but the huge d%oor-posts and
frame, hand-hewn, remain Of the origi-
nal structure. The water wheel, IS
feet in diameter, has been in use only
nine years.
The land and building are owned by
the city, but the business for 25 years
has been carried on by George H.
Smith.

of the year. The rim drive and the
trails down the gorge are open the
year round, but camping from De
cember to March is restricted to the
inner canyon region.
The vastness of the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado has been accurately
mapped, but the work was done SO
recently that the first nan to make
the journey through the canyon still
lives near it. s,S
Major J.. w. Powell, accompanied by
a few companions. launched his boat
in the placid waters of the Green
river in Utah, and went safely through
the canyon to the quiet stretch of wa
ter on the Arizona-California border.
The Indians early asserted that the
river flowed several hundred miles un-
der ground, that the canyon contained
falls beside which Niagara was a pig
my and that no boat could live through
the rushing rapids. These reports
seemed possible until Major Powell
proved otherwise, as it was known
that the river dropped 5000 feet be
tween the upper end Of the canyon
and'the lower and that the water had
cut its way through two mountain
ranges.

Placer Mining

Placer or hydraulic mining is the art of separating gold from gravel, sand, or clay, making use principally ofrunuing water and gravity. The deposits which are susceptible to treatment Of this sort have been formed by the breaking down and scattering in gold bearing rocks and their subsequent sorting by water. The disintegration may have been accomplished by any one of sev- eral agencies, or a combination of two or more of them. The rocks may have been broken and ground up by glacial action, piled in the valleys or on the sides of mountains and hills as mo- raiues, and subsequently, distributed by the action of streams or rivers.
 Having then fine particles of metallic gold distributed through mixture of gravel, sand and clay, but not attached to any of if, the problem is to recover it economically. The most primitive appliance known is tEe miners pan, in which gold and rock are separated by careful washing, but the pan only holds fifteen to thirty pounds of gravel, and man could not wash more than one cubic yard in a day, SO that the gravel would have to contain 8 worth of re- coverable gold per cubic yard to make it pay. Various hand devices have been used for gravel washing, among them the rocker and long tom, both of which separate the gold by allowing it to settle through water borne gravel by means of it's greater weight. It settles on canvas, carpets, woolen blankets, or in mercury held in rifles on the sluice bottom. All of these are makeshifts, though, and are for handling small amounts of high grade material, while the real business of hydraulic mining is carried on by working immense quantities of low grade material by means of complicated and expensive labor saving machinery, at a minimum unit cost.-Engiueering Magazine.

James J. Crossley, United States at torney for the Fourth judicial district of Alaska, with headquarters at Fair banks, and one of tbe very few repub- licaus that have been continued in of
 flee under the present democratic ad miuistration, is among the late arrivals from the East registered at the Frye. He came out last May and spent some time at San Francisco, where several cases from his district were being tried on appeal, says the Seattle P. l. While in the East Mr. Crossley was admitted to practice before the supreme court. Acting with United States Solicitor General John w. Davis, he appeared before that body on the plea that the legislature of Alaska should have the right to decide, by the passage of lave, the rights of the territory in the indict- ing of men accused of crime. The su- preme court will give an opinion on the case during the coming fall. His term of office expires in 19l6 Since his res idence in the North he has become a full fedged Alaskan and is among tLe men who believe that country has agri cultural possibilities aud that the gov ernment railroad will do wonders in developing it. "In the East, and es. pecially in Washington, the general opinion seems to be that the new gov ernment railroad will not be built to meet the needs of any one district" he said yesterday. Ut seemed to be the feeling of all men in Washington who are in touch with affairs that the rail- road will be constructed SO as to meet both the Matauuska and Nenana coal fields, and at the same time be a car rier into the Susitna and Tanaua val. leys, where there are agricultural pos abilities"

The Alaska road commission has per formed a creditable work in the con. suuction of a substantial wagon bridge across the Nizina river. It is said to be one of the best structures in Alaska, and will prove of untold advantage in the saving of lives in the crossing of one of the most treacherous streams of Alaska. But while the bridge is com
 plete, it is practically worthless so far as traffic is concerned. The approaches are SO steep that even a pack horse finds it impossible to ascend from either side. The operators and pros. pectors who have necessity for crossing the Nizlna to valuable placer gold and copper quartz properties beyond are still compelled to cross over Sourdough bill and receive no benefit from the new structure.-Cordova Alaskan.
