not asking for a cent from the local
people and thoro in not a dollar

numerous assays made from samples

that It in a great Held.
"There are llfty people in Phila

and who have money to invent,
awaiting my report on eastern Ore

not thoy will come here. From what
I have Intimated, It will not bo a

MICHAELSEN'S NEW
GOLD SAYING MACHINE.
CotiHlderablo Interest has becu
taken by prominent mining and mill
lug men in thin city of late in the
experimental tests that have been
made with a uew gold saver invented
and patented by CharlcH O. Michael
sen. Those experiments have been
maile with a small model in the rear
of McOoti hays' jewelry store, and at
every oxtilulpuu.a.largo crowd lias
been in attendance, nnd thotcHtH have
been very satisfactory, proving be
yond a doubt, that the machine is
possoHsed of excellent merit aud ca
pable of successfully treating all
kinds of free milling ores and gold
bearing gravel aud sand, Included in
the list being free-milling ore,
aurlferous-beailng sand, talo carry
ing gold, tailings, slimes, etc., a re
covery of 00 per cent aud over
being results claimed.
In operation the old-style pan
motion is employed, in which the
rotary, vibration aud centrifugal are
the chief features, the free gold, to
gether with the black sand, being
collected In a small pocket in a small
reservoir In the bottom of the ma
chine, no quicksilver being employed
iu the operation or chemicals of auy
kind or character, the system being
mechauical'thrnugohut.
At on'e'o the tests above alluded
to Hiiud from tho Snake river, Idaho,
above Amorlcali ' Falls, wbh run
through the machine. The gold con
tents of tho Hand wbh exceedingly
Hue, almost miuute In size, aud yet a
color could hardly be found in the
tailings, although carefully searched
foi by experelnced placer mining
operators. Salt .Lake Mining He

WHITE SWAN BATTLES
AGAINST CHINOOK WIND.
A lone swau encountered the heavy
chluook wind that was raging iu
upper air Friday morning, and for
almost a quarter of au hour there
was waged a battle royal. They
seemed to bo about evenly matched,
tho bird so graceful on the water re
ceiving some ugly bulfotlug In the
wind, when it seemed It must surely
bo capHi7cd. Hut though bullied, it
was not beaten, aud after a few In
voluntary whirls, it would brace tho
breeze again.
The sight was not ouly an interest
ing one, attracting quite a crowd of
spectators, but it wn ulso a very
lienuliful one. The snow-white plu
mage of the bird Hitched iu the morn
ing suu, aud was made, dazzling
bright by tho blue black cloud
against which its figure was painted.
It seemed remarkable, too. that
tfcf re could 'have beeu so tierce a
storm ouly a few huudrtxi.feet above,
while there waa ouly a very light
wlud blowiug near the grouud.
It was not until the bird took the
lower level that it could again make
headway. Grant County News.
HISTORY OF THE LEGEND ON
UNITED STATES POSTAL CARDS
Before the present phrase on the
face of United States postal cards
wbh adopted, to inform the user that
omy the addregH is to be written on
that side, there was a long series of
experiments on trial with other sen
tences meaning practically the same
, . ,
In at least seven forms.
"One of the earliest cards," says
Francis II Whitney, private secre
tary to Postmaster-General Payne,
" was made to bear the sign, 'Noth
ing but the address can lie written on
this side,' which was untrue, as many
porsous could write more if thoy o
desired. Shortly afterward It was
changed so as to say, 'Nothing
the address is to be placed on
side,' which was more teusible,
t.nf I
this
but
was cluni.y and was soon discarded.
The next issue of the cards was in
scribed, 'The address ouly to be
written on this side,' which it was
soon seen could easily bo construed
to bar the use of a typewriter. The
i same objectiou could bo raised to
'Write only tho address on this side.'
I "Finally the authorities got hys
terical, nnd the next issue of the
cards Informed the user that he could
'Write the address on this side, the
message on the othor, ' which was not
only clumsy, but ambiguous, aud
conveyed a wrong meaning, as the
officials really, down in their hearts,
bad no objection to a peison writing
the address on both sides of the
card. Later the word 'only' was
dropped, but without much improve
meut. It was Anally decided that
thore was no use iu trying to be
original, aud so they fashioned the
phrase which Is now iu use after the
one used on the postal cards issued
by the British government. Our
Eugllsh cousins say, "The space lie
low is for the address only,' and
Uncle Sam haa 'This side for the ad
dress only'." N. i'. Commercial.
Big Freighting Contract.
Ed Whittnker, proprietor of the
stage lino operatiug between hero
aud Cornucopia, by way of Medical
Springs, yesterday cloved a contract
with the Cornucopia mines, formerly
the big Searles property, to haul
'J, 000 tons of freight from linker
I City to Cornucopia. It is reported
I that tho muagoment of tho mines will
' iu it short time again operatethe big
mill aud that the concentrates will be
hauled out ou the suuw to Haker City
by Mr. Whittnker. This is good
news to the supply houses aud ranch
ers in Eagle aud Pine valleys, who
furnish the mines with all kinds of
