profitable could water be t'otnmanded
for sluicing or hytlr.nil'u'irig. An ade
quate supply la hard to obtain, on ac-1
count of the slight and jrraclual fall of
the stream and the level character of
the outlying lands. To overcome this
lack of water as well as insure suffi
cient dumping ground, & big floating
gold-saving dredge ha been con
structed and is now at work on tho
Idaho bank of the ' finako river about
ten miles above Payette. '.

used to scoop up sanu and gravel from
tho bottom of the Klro'aru. That has
never been attempted. As In tho past,
operations are now confined, to work
ing bars out of the bed or channel of
the river. The method pursued ia to
anchor alongside or.o of those gravel
deposits and by tbe ue of scrapers
bring the material to be handled with
in the reach of tho gold-washing ma
chinery with' which tho craft is rigged.
The gravel is scooped up by buckets
attached to an endless chain. There
are forty-eight of these receptacles on
a belt sixty feet in length, and each
has a capacity of about twenty pounds
of dirt, which la delivered' into a hop
per. ' This is also An agitator, and' the
process employed may be described as
A steam rocker, with the exception that
it has an end motion instead of one
sidewise. The gold is caught on cop
per plates with quicksilver. ' The tail
ings are carried oft in sluice boxes by
tho force of A stream of water of one
bundred And fifty mineral inches, up
plied by a China pump, run by the en
gine which drives all the other ma
chinery. The gravel is Trorlted ao
thoroughly that no gold escapes In the
tailings that are dumped into tlie riv
er. An average of one hundred tuns of
gravel are daily handled, and for this
work three men are employed on en
gineer, one to work the scrnpt'r, and
another one who shovels the dirt Into a
pile so that the buckets can scoop up a
full load.
The bar now being worked covers an
area of ten to fifteen acres. The gold
is on top or close to the surface and
will not pay to handle to a greater
depth than one foot to eighteen Inches.
This shows a value of one and one-half
to three cents a pan. A clean-up Is
made every night, and the average of
the runs for the first three days was
very satiafactory to the owner of tbe
craft. He says he axpecta Wi take out
upward of one hundred dolltira a (lay

ROUGH RIDERS.
Skill aad Daring Displayed by COWboyS iai
the Southwestern Plains. -The
wild steers are "brought upon
the grounds before the spectators in a
herd and rounded up and held by the
vaqneros near the judges' stand, says
the San Jose Mercury.- Three judges
are appointed, two timekeepers and a
flagman. The contestant, mounted on
a thoroughly trained horse, is stationed
at a point twenty-five yards from the
flagman. . When all are ready the
vaqueros single out a steer and with a
yell such as only cowboys can give
they start him across the line by the
flagman at break-neck speed. Just as
he passes the "dead line" the flagman
swings his flag ' down a4 a signal for
the cowboy 'to start. His spurs no
sooner touch the horse's flanks than ho
is off with a jump and rapidly catching
up with the steer. A whirl or, two of
the lariat over his head and then the
iioose darts out and neatly drops over
the head of the steer. This done the
rider draws tho rope' along1 the right
side of the animal and reining his
horse to tho left, at right angles to the
course of the animal, brings the
rope ; across the hind ' legs of
tho animal. The rope is , then
wrapped about the pommel of the sad
dle and all slack is taken up. Throw
ing his weight with the horse from the
steer, the animal's, head is drawn
around to the right, his hind legs
crowded forward, and almost as quick
us a Hash he is lying in a heap.
. This operation is usually performed
so quickly as to be an entire mystery
to the steet1 as to how he lost his foot
ing. By a- little strain the rope Is
slipped from under the hind legs of the
steer up to the front legs, which are
then drawn in front of him and close
to his head. The rope being fast to the
pommel of the saddle, the pony is set
back on it, and, bracing himself, stand
ns firm as a post. The rider leaps off,
and in A moment is binding the feet of
the prostrate steer with a short rope
which he carries about his waist. This
done, he signals to the judge, and time
Is taken from the drop of the flag until
the contestant's signal is given. After
the cowboy throws up his hands he Is
not allowed to return to his steer. ' No
assistant Is Allowed At Any time. Often
when a heavy strain is put on the rope
It breaks and horse and rider have A
hard fall ' Should the horse fail to
keep the rope tight after the rider
leaves him the steer is very liable to re
gain his feet, and it Is quite f jquently
the case that he makes for the rider the
first instant It ia always a case of
skill and nerve against strength, and
of the thousands of stockmen who are
earning a livelihood in tha saddle but
few Can tie a wild steer down without
Assistance. The best time In steer ty

the fair in Arizona In 1HHS, according
to the territorial rules. lie accom

of fifty-nine seconds And In this the
steer was given one hundred yards
start. Doe Gordon afterward tied a
steer in forty-eight seconds, bat with A
