AMALGAMATOR
TO BE TESTED
l McHwcu, Arthur A- McKwen, of
the Humptei Sampling and TestiiiK
works, have received an amalgumator
of new pattern for trial purposes. It
I is known as the McKelsey numl
'gamittnr mid is made at Louisville.
Keutucky. John Hitter, who makes
his headquarters at linker City, has
tlm local aiteucy.
The principle of amalgamation rep
resented by the apparatus is not new.
The application, however, is the
point of originality claimed. The
pulp Is forced bydraulically through
a column of mercury, overflowing ou
the sides, and the attached plates
catchiUK the wasto of free gold aud
mercury, rendering, it is claimed,
a ? flavins efficiency of hlghl de
gree. The outlre apparatus weighs
only about 'JOO pounds.
MtKweu. Arthur & McEwen will
set tbo nmalgatcr up in a few days
at their sampling works and give it a
thorough trial.
BIG BOUQUET
FOR THE MINER
Produces The Stuff That
Civilizes And Makes This
Old World Really
Worth While.
(iold Ih the measure of all values.
Tho farmer, in his planting, in his
harvesting aud in IiIh marketing, li.it
but one Idea in lov. and this is,
"What will the pruoduct of IiIh farm
bring?" Or itself this product pos
hchim no real iutiiUHlo value, for it
J Is pel ishable. Were ho unable to dis
pose of his grain mid other farm
prnilutcs, in some form or other,
bin Inborn would bo in vain, excent
inn tho use to which a portion of It
could be put, to sustain life. In
selling bis product he recieves for it
money that is now in existence; but
tho funnel never creates money, aud
tho same can bo said for ovory other
hrnuch of trado; of every other line
of Industry, bo it manufacturing,
railroading, or be it dealuig ou tho
markets of tbo world.
With the minor it Ih different, lie
produces for himself tho royal metal.
This gold ho takes to tho mint aud
receives for bis bullion dollars that
no uthcr labor bus previously pro
duced. As a mater of fact, ho ac
tually makes now money, aud this
money, when put into circulation,
adds to tho money medium of the
world, aud it assists in stimulating
trade aud commerce. It makes it
possible for the farmer to receive a
substantial reward fur bis labors, aud
It opeus new avcuues for uew indus
tries. It has been said that but for
the a currency system, based ou es
tablished and imperishable values,
aud this basis U gold, that the world
today would be lu u worse state tbau
that of tho beatheu Cbiueo; aud
that where money is plentiful, civili
7Htlon is advanced.
Tho gold miner, then, is a civili
7cr as well as a public benefactor,
as he is continually adding to
tho money medium, to tho mouey
ciiculatiti of the country; and lu
the acquisition of this gold no mail
is robbed or iujured. He not only
makes new money, but, it may well
be said, the mouey that ho expended
in searching for tho precious metal,
iu placing his nil no ou a productive
and payiug basis, was not lost to the
world, being still iu circulation
Aud, eveu if one puts money iu mill
ing aud meets with fnilure.fhe mouey
Is uot lost. It has only changed
ownership aud still gladdens tho
baud to which it passes.
Tbo miner who makes uew mouey
is ou a higher plaue tbau is he who
varus mouey, but uever adds to the
world's store of imperisable wealth.
Should the mluer quit work, should
the prospector leave the hills, aud
should uo Increase be made to the
mouey circulation of our business
centers, the business of the world 1
would comn to a standstill aud tho
growth of our country aud its pros
perity would become more circum
scribed as population Increused, until,
lu years to come, poverty would
reach a point of such exttemes that
the degeuciircy of tho world would
place tho people on a par with tho
Hottentot or the savages of South
AmericH.
It is the mluer, then, who makes
tho money, aud who maintains aud
advances the world's civilization and
ptosperlty.
ABUNDANCE OF WATER
AT PINE CREEK PLACERS
P. D. Healy returned yesterday
from tho Pine Crook placers iu Mor
mon iiasiu, where ho is lutoested and
has lately been doing work prelimi
nary to starting the seasons run.
Wheu ho left Mr. Henley says ar
imigomcuts were perfected to start a
collide of uliintx Idilnv . tin will
I leave to mo now with a force of men
to mosecuto the work. Tho wator
was running when he loft, and tho
Indications are that tho setison will
be veiy long, ou account of tho ex
ceptionally heavy snow tall. "Thoro
will be water" says Mr. ilealey,
"for a long season aud wo nuticipiito
n large cleanup. We hnve things now
in shupe to statt work and there will
le no dltllculty this year on account
of a sbnitage of water."
Money For Wallowa Irrigation.
Chief Newell, of tho reclamation
service, at the request of Seuator
Fulton, has promised tn advance out
of the reclamation funds sufficient
mouey to const met a dam nt tho out
let of Wallowa lake, lu Wallowa
county, also as to increase its storage
capacity for irrigation purposes, if
settlers iu Wallowa Valley will agree
to bear their proportionate share of
the cost. Tho figure will not exceed
875,000, or about 81 per acre. Inas
much as the request for government
funds first came from the settlers iu
Wallowa valley, Senator Fulton ho
lieves these settlers will guarantee to
refuud to the government the amount
iu full, which is diverted from the
reclamatiou fund to construct the
dam. He also feels confident that
Secretary Hitchcock will approve Mr.
Newell's recommendation of the loan.
If this project meets with Una) ap
proval in the department, It will be
the first actual construction work un
dertaken by the government lu Ore
gon since the passage of the reclam
ation act, although Seuator Fulton
believes work ou tho Umatilla pro
ject, which has been carefully exam
ined, will bo authorized before long.
