citation of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers.
This situation apparently disposes of two
seats.
The third of the present congressman
at-Large, still TO be considered in the
race, has n more serious situation TO
face. He is Joseph Mclaughlin, of this
city. The fact that he is from Philadel-
phia IL the very thing that makes his
denomination doubtful and opens specu-
lation as to whether he will receive the
support of the leaders.
Scott Is the fourth Congressman-at-
Large. He can virtually be considered
out of the race, although he might run
| in case he were left off the slate for
Lieutenant Governor. IL Sproul and
Scott are selected for the offices men,
| toned then there will be two positions
for Congressman-at-Larg and at least
| one of these will go to the western part
| of Pennsylvania, it is believed. The other
will come to Philadelphia or this vicinity
and will probably be fought for by sew
eral candidates
STERN AND SALUS BOOMS
Isadore Stern and Samuel S. Salus,
both of Philadelphia. have had booms
| launched for them and neither has de-
MED being a candidate. In fact, Stern
has announced his candidacy. Stern can
date. however, as it is generally believed
the Wares would energetically oppose
him. Should the harmony program fall.
then Stern might cut considerable figure
in the fight
The newest candidate mentioned for
Congressman-at-Large Is Isadore Sobei
of Erie who was barely defeated by Nc
Laughlin in the 1916 race. Sobel ran
fifth. and for time 1t was thought he
had been elected. but Mclaughlin "nosed
him out" when the count was completed
He is being doomed energetically in all
parts of the State and is undoubtedly
the most-mentioned candidate aside
from those now incumbent. He is con-
sidered a strong candidate for one OF
the four places.
1t is felt by the leaders on both sides
that his strength in the primaries two
years ago indicated elements Of strength
which would greatly aid the ticket al
election time. Important Influential
business interests in Philadelphia were
disappointed at his failure to achieve
, the nominal ton two years ago. and arr
now heartily supporting the proposition
to put him on the slate this year.
SOBEL IN CITY
: Sobel was in Philadelphia yesterda,
N his way to Camp Dix to visit hi
son, who is soldier in the Nationa
Army, and while here he was solicited
by many of his former supporters to b.
candidate again this year. He de
clned to discuss the matter for publica
tion. but conveyed the idea that he nigh
enter the campaign If he could be as
sured that the harmony deal was goini
through.
Sobel has always been identified IL
State politics with the regular organiza
tion. and he would probably be accept
able to the Wares on the harmony slate

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
TREND OF MARKET DOWNWARD


 New York Dec. 2O-Stocks recorded their fifth successive setback of the week today, declines being resumed after an irregular opening in which few leaders showed temporary strength, probably on short covering.
 The additional liquidation and bear ish suggestion were attributed to in- sing signs of dissatisfaction, more particularly as affecting the railroads and general industries. This was ex- emplifed by MT. McAdoo's attitude towards the transportations and re- ports of fresh cancellations of war contracts and cuts in commodity prices.
 Yet another reason was provided by the implied request of the treasury department for an indefinite continu- ance of restricted money conditions, although call funds were in freer sup ply at as low as 3-4 per cent.
 Renewal of heavy selling of Liberty bonds on a scale approximating yes terday's enormous turnover with the fourth 1-4s at the new low quotation of 94.50 was not calculated to allay apprehension, the first As incidentally making a new minimum for the year at 9290
 The one encouraging note was sounded by the sale to banking syn dicate of $50,OO0,0O0 Pennsylvania railroad per cent bonds and the speedy absorption of that issue at a large er-subscription. This is the first large financial undertaking by private bankers since the close of the war and bespeaks a sound investment situation.

University of Penn. to Revive All Sports


 Philadelphia, Dec. 20.-The athletic council of the University of Pennsyl- vania announced tonight that it will revive all sports with the beginning of the new term on Jan. and as far as. possible place them on a normal basis.
 The council met today and approved a budget for the remainder of the col- lege year which eliminates, it was stated, every non-essential and cuts all expenses to an irreducible minimum. On account of the small surplus from the football season this year th~re probably will be a deficit which the council hopes to make up by the sale of athletic association membership tickets to students and alumni. The relay races. national athletic annual fixture, will be held on April 24 and 25..
 Work of arranging schedules for all sports throughout 1919 will begin at once
 Demobilization of the student army training corps was completed today and all branches of sport, which were turned over to the military establish ment last Septemer, automatically re- verted to the university athletic au- thorities.

The Placer System,

EIiots pumping plant consists of a TOUT and half horsepower gasoline engine, buskeye pump with a, two men intake pipe and a sufficient amount of twoinch pipe to reach the sluIce box and troughs. This eouip- ment delivers 2500 gallons of water i per hour to the sluice box, where it 1 comes in contact with the dirf con talning the shot. The expense of de- i livering this water consists in inc
 consumption of four gallons of gaso- line and the lubricating oil for the engine.
 If the ground is bare or devoid of sod or vegetation is may be scraped into 2O-inch rows. This should be done when the ground is in a dry condition. care should be taken to go suffi- 1 ciently deep to save all of the shot, i Should the ground be covered with a heavy sod the grass should be burned
 off and all rubbish raked off. Then | the sod should be skinned off similar to the manner used for sodding yards l and piled up until the sod has routed sufficiently to wash away when put in ! the water.
 After the dirt has been properly
 prepared for the sIuicing process it is run through a crusher which pulver- 1 iZes it so that the water will dissolve 1 the dirt quickly when it comes in i contact with it in the sluice box and l troughs. The equipment for this process is a crushing or pulverizing l machine for the purpose of grinding
 the clods of dirt. The one used at the | Eliot park is a home-made affair. It 1 consists of a cylinder two feet six
 inches long and ten inches in diameter l Itr-,+l ! centre and resting on four by four 1 frame on either side with a four-i inch pulley attached to one end for the
 drive belt and a counter balance wheel on the opposite end. Then a heavy ! iron is let into the frame a half inch
 in front of the cylinder. A hopper made of boards two inches thick is set I above the cylinder on he frame The dirt is fed into this hopper as fast as 1 it will take it. After being pulverized
 by the cylinder the dirt drops through i into an elevator and is conveyed to the
 sluice box. where the water comes in ! contact with the earth, dissolves and i carries it into the troughs that are set
 to carry the dirt and water away. When 1 his is done the shot will be found at l the bottom of the sluice troughs ! These troughs should be, made of I cypress or spruce lulnDe lZ rect long
 s..d one and one-eighth inches thick,
 nailed together in V-shape. There
 should be five of these troughs set on
 standards. There should be a fall in
 the troughs of eight inches in 12 feet l in order to get the necessary gravity to carry the water and dirt.
 1 At the end of these troughs there should be five others made of two by
 six pine bottoms, 12 feet long with one by six side boards nailed on. making
 q flat, open trough in which rife boards one by one inch should be nailed at middle and ends in bottom for the purpose of catching and re-
 tarding any small lump containing
