(Special Dlapatch to T Journal.)
Welser. Idaho. tc. 7. Th Flnley
Bandy Manufacturing company of
BolM la erecting; on Snake river ona of
! i he dvice invented by V. B. Flnlay and
D. H. Bandy for saving flour gold. This
. la the moat original Idea yet brought"
out for the work, and embrace a elmple
water concentration principle and an
oil separation that might be likened to
'.the Elmore patent Since an attempt
"' was mads to amalgamate Snake river
flour gold, which proved Impracticable
owing to the large quantity of material
that passed over the ptatas and scoured
them, th Flnley Bandy project has
excited great Interest among those who
are striving to master this difficult
problem.
The concentrating device uaed first
Is of the belt table type, having nothing
new In this respect, and la adjusted to
save both the coarse cubical black aand
and tbe fine gold. As the Iron aand and
flour gold conatltuta a heavy propor
tion of the fine material In a Snake
rlver bar, the duty of th table la
heavy.
Tha heavy product clinging to the belt
i and carried against the water current
on the table Is discharged Into a larger
tank than that usual at the head of a
. True vanner. Tha aurfaee of the water
In this tank la kept covered with crude
. oil. Aa the fine gold value come In
' contact with the oleaginous substance
adhesion continues until the oil globules
are borne to the bottom by the burden'
or metal. -The agitating device In this
I tank is not perfect In the experimental
plant completed, yet the owners state
that they have been able to affect a re
markable separation of gold from tha
'black aand concentrate If thla concen-
irate product from the table were put
i through as thorough a mixer as tha
Elmore people use In their oil concentra
tion work, no doubt Is felt by engineers
""that Snake river's fine gold would be
tsken up from the Iron sand with great
dispatch and economy. Tha Elmore
principle Is nothing more than utilisa
tion of the discovery that tbe lustrous
(train of certain metala will adhere to
oil. Fine grinding la one of tha neces
sary conditions of effective saving with
the Elmore people, hence vaiuea in
Snake river bars, which are known aa
fine flour gold, should be amenable to
. . tha process without any preliminary
treatment.
The small plant built by the present
company will not prove permanent, but
-It will Illustrate the Idea of the Inven
- tor. A gasoline engine of about five
horsepower furnishes the energy re
quired In the present work. If the
principle may be adapted economically
river dredgers might easily be fashioned
to aeabraaa this saving principle. It la
. believed by many operators that tha con-
cent rating table Is not an essential, as
' a good saving of the black sand and
' flour gold haa been effected In aluicaa,
which handle more material 'than con
' oentratlng tables. The greatest diffi
culty haa always been separation of the
flour gold from the Iron aand, and at
one time operators thought both gold
and aand could be ahlpped to the
smelters at a profit.

ensble many owners of erstwhile Idle
claims to work at a profit. While the,

recently purchased the Moonlight mine
in Madiaon oounty, have struck a good

There la unususl sctlvlty In the
Cataract copper district, nesr Basin.
Work Is being done on many claims with
a promising outlook. The copper
smelter there will soon be ready or
operation, and tbe railway has been
graded two miles. The Pittsburg A
Montana company la shipping ore that
averages $40 a ton, principally In the red
metal. Shipments from tbe Carbonate
Chief have run as high ss J I.: a car.
High-grade gold ore has been struck
In the Black Jack claim near Corbln.
under bond to Helena capitalists. A'
three-foot vein was encountered In the
crosscut 20 feet from the shaft.
Helena Investors who recently took
ovsr the Francis claim, on Bed moun
tain, have atruck a six-foot vein of
sllver-gold-lead or within 20 feet of
where work ceased In the abandoned
tunnel. The property will b thoroughly
developed.
Several rich stringers have been cut
in the Whitlatch-rnion mine, at one
time Montana' chief gold producer, but
which has been idle for many years. It
Is expected the main vein will be reached
within $0 feet more of crosscuttlng. and
the property again established aa a
dividend payer. The new shaft Is down
4U0 feet.

I (Special ntspatch to Tbe Journal
Helena. Mont.. Dec. 7. A Cleveland,
, Ohio, syndicate haa purchased the

ported to have been $100,000. There
'are 21 claim In the group, from one
of which high value have been secured.
On the other claim there I an immense
body of low-grade free and cyanldlng

work Immediately and a 10-stamp mill
and cyanide plant will be Installed. The
main vein of the property la a large dyke
similar to that at the Treadwell, Alaska,
mine.
The Great Northern railroad ha an

In certain section of northern Mon

C. A. Patterson, who Is one of the
principal owners of the quicksilver prop
erty near Prlnevllle, of which considera
ble ha been written lately, has reached
Portland with a quantity of specimen
rock taken from the latest work. Mr.
Patterson will have quantitative and
qualitative analyses made of the ore
which he says has a high average In
mercury. At the time work was stopped
for the winter tbe roof of the tunnel
had the bright Vermillion red peculiar

by the crosscut.

valuable quicksilver properties of the
country, If not the best." amid he. "The
magnitude of the deposit cannot be esti
mated by the work we have finished.
which now aggregates about 1.000 feet
In the upper workings ws have a vein
or lode of about 7 feet width, with
quartxlte on on wall and a porphyrttlc

tunnel, which give an additional depth
of about 65 feet, we crosscut three or
four stringers carrying rich clnnshar
vaiuea, then passed through a lS-foot

vein, and later cam Into the large de

a large number of globule of the free

specimens carrying 20 to $0 per cent

origin of the sulphur forming the mer

"Mr. TUlotson Is msnaglng the work,
and I think It Is the plsn to drop down
the hill further, and drive a 1,100-foot

Modern Remedies for COUGHS,
and CONSUMPTIpN.
"My home is in Sidney, Ohio. I have been hearer death with consumption
than any other living person in the world, and I want you to read this, so you
can tell others. I took a severe cold and neglected it I grew worse all the
time, and at the end of two years I had run into consumption. I coughed
terribly, lost flesh, could not sleep, and became so dreadfully weak that I had to take to bed. In the follow
ing eighteen months I gradually reached the last stages of consumption. No less than seven physicians
treated me and all gave me up saying I was incurable I was absolutely helpless. The whole family wore
themselves out caring for me. One day mother and sister came to my bedside and said I had but a day
or two more to live. Tears rolled down their cheeks as they sobbed the news. The doctors had declared
I was in the last stage, and no human being could save me. I was willing to die, but before going to the
cruel grave, I wanted to go out and see pay dearly beloved town of Sidney once more. They told me such
a thing was impossible that I would surely die before I got back. But I insisted, and to gratify my dying
wish, a carriage was fitted up with a bed of pillows, and to this I was carried and slowly driven around
Court House Square. I got home more dead than alive. Through the mercy of Providence, someone
brought a trial bottle of medicine said to be a consumption cure. No one imagined for an instant it was
worth trying. But as a drowning person grasps at a straw, so I tried this medicine. I was better after tak
ing two doses. Mother got more of the medicine and I took it, improving all the time. Today I am as
well as any reader of this paper, and the medicine that cured me was Acker's English Remedy for Consump
tion. I declare before God and man that every word here printed is true." ,

JURORS SHOULD MEET
AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR
Mayor Williams Opposes Plan,
and Inveighs Against Some
of the Witnesses.
Members of the Municipal league are
advocating law calling a grand Jury
not 1 than twice In each year. Those
members prominent In the present in
vestigation say that with only on sea
Ion the business cannot be expedited
A In th present Instance, thsy say It
requires so much of their time that
they can hardly afford to give the gov
ernmental affair of the city th proper
attention. Miller MurdocK, John Haln
and A. 8. Pattullo, who were before
the grand Jury nearly all day vaster
day. are each in favor of the new law
Mayor Williams, who was also before
the grand jury, aays that if there
should bs more than one session he
would die of Indigestion; as it Is, he
ay the Municipal league keep him In
a continual nightmare. The aubject on
which Mayor William read the riot
act to the grand Jury waa non-citlsena

istration of the city government with
out any right. Mr. Williams said he
referred particularly to Mr. Pattullo.
who has o fur failed to take out nat
uralisation paper, but who, a th
mayor expressed It, has nsver failed to
take s hand In the government.
In the Tanner creek sewer scandal
the Municipal league has taken but lit
tle action, except to object to the new
committee appointed by the mayor, be
lieving that the Investigation should
have been made at the completion of
the work and before the contractora had
had an opportunity to patch It up. Mr.
Bain, one of the member of the Munici
pal lague, said:
"It I not our Intention to pre thla
matter any further than Is absolutely
necessary to protect the rights of th

In this aa In maintaining ths high moral
