At Breckenridge,Col., the other day, I saw the Jumbo stamp-mill, and there got a fair insight into the method of getting the gold out of what Is called free milling ore. The stuff that uoutes from the mine is flrst put through a crusher, which breaks it up fine, and the product is then run through roller* which pulverizes it, though, porhaps, oosrsuly. From the rollers It falls to tiiu lower floor, upon which the mar- tan are located. At the Jumbo mill the dirt is fed to tho stamps by hand; in other mills it falls through chutes which work automatically, and never feed more than Is necessary at a time. The stamps are arranged in batteries of five stamps each. Thoy tvark up.hnd down iu oak casements, and thuir motions are regulated by cams on a shaft gearod to the motive machinery. Tho stamps weigh from 450 to 900 pounds, according to the ’character of the ore treaitqd.- Water flows into the mortars and out of them down tabios to the waste flumes which carry tho refuse away. Stamps in this, country run as low as thirty drops a mimrte., and seldom over sixty; in California they drop seventy to 100 times a minute. Tho two kinds of mills are distinguished by the rapidity or slowness of their drops, and those use»! hero are all built by Peter McFarland, and aro called Gilpin County mills, front McFarland’s home ptace, which is in Gilpin County, while >the others are known as California mills. Thoy cost from $350 for a five-stamp pros­ pecting mill to $ >0,000 for a 100-stamp mill. Tlio dirt being fed into the mortars is pounded aud pounded by the stamps; tho silica, porphyry aud other refuse is carried offby the water, but tho gold Is caught by two copper plates coated with quicksilver that line the sides of the mortar; any of the previous ntetal that escapes from tho mortar may be caught on the 4x8.. feet copper plates that are quicksilver coated and lie on the table over which the refuse is car­ ried. Some of the gold gets' away, ol course, but the Jumbo saves as much as 80 per cent« of its gold, and-McFar- tand is now building mills which he claims will save 95 percent of the as­ sayed value of ore. Concentrators ace used whore the ore is too low grade to pay for smelting in its crude state. By concentrating a $10 or $12 ore may ba handled so that the mill product which will represent six or seven tons in ore, may be worth $70 to $80 _per ton. The scheme is very simple. The crushed and rolled ore Is fed through chutes to revolving screens ranging in size from three-fourths inch openings to one-eighth. Each of these screens lias a trough and a chute which fowls a jig box. The jig boxes work on an eccentric and keep up a spasm-like motion. There is a screen in each about six incites from the top, and this sermon is covered with lead or other heavy ore material, which prevents the silica, porphyry and other light stufi from going through. Tim motion .shakos-tlie metal to tho bottom of the boxes, where it remains until valvos in the bottom are opened and the concen­ trates are removed. This machine, like all the others called by different names, and known as triumps, frue vanners, buddles, bump plates; etc., is an appli­ cation of tho woll-known law of specific gravity; the heaviest material falls to the bottom in all these- maohines. and the light stuff goes dancing away on the waler. . The bump plate, which is claimed to bo a new invention by Peter McFarland, is a large steel plate set at an incline of a few degrees; the ore is fed to the lower part of the place from a water trough, and as the high end bumps it carries forward and up over the top of the plate the heavy concen­ trates.— Cor.

Captain Day also re­ ceived a circular letter, and in reply under date of July 1, 1887, he says: “I used tho Oil as stated and was permanently cured of rheumatism by Its use." During tho Inter­ vening al x years there had been no recur­ rence of the pain. Also a letter from Mr. M M Convene, of the Warren (Mass.) Herald, dated July 9, 1887, as follows: “In response to your» of June 22, would say that in 1880 my wife had a severe attack of rheumatism In shoulder and arm. y; so that she could 1 not raise her hand to her head.

Tower Hill, Appomattox county, Va., whe writes. November, 1886: “Was afflicted for several yean with rheumatism and grew worse all the time. Eminent physicians gave no relief; hod spasms, and was not ex­ pected to live; was rubbed all over with St. Jacobs Oil. The first application relieved, the second removed the pain, continued use cured me; no relapse in five years, and do as much work as ever.” These are proofs or the perfection of the remedy, and, taken in con Diction with the miracles performed In other cases, it has no equal.
