RIVERS OF GOLD.
STRIKING SCENES AT MINES IN
THE BLACK 1IILLS.
Different Methods Used to IVoo the
Precious Metal From Its Ores—
How Mountains Are Robbed
—Millions Run Wasted.

„
former has a more pretentious and
metropolitan aspect, with some neat
shops and handsome blocks of brick
and stone. . Its dwellings seem tc
stand on shelves in circling tiers up
the steep mountain side, and their
windows overlook the streets below.
At night these towering mountain
galleries are aglow with the lights of
many windows, and one might imagine
himself looking at some mirvel of
modern architecture.
There’s a feature of Dight life in
Deadwood tiiat is beautiful and more
fascinating than tho games of chance
—the rivers of molten metal, the cas¬
cades of flowing slag and smoking,
fiery gold; the scintillating flood spout¬
ing out of the forehearths and illu¬
minating the daiknoss, the miniature
Yesuvii of powdered ore below the
chutes growing with red avalanches
fresh from the roaster;
From one of the forehearths they
have made a winding course of sand,
perhaps sixty feet long, into which
the fiery product oE the furnace flows
rich with gold—so rich that a pot of it
no larger than an old-fashioned potato
kettle would sell for $150. It is liter¬
ally a river of gold—the precious
metal can be plainly distinguished as
it comes smoking from the furnace and
sinks in the flood, being heavier than
the metals from which it is parting
company.
This process of fusing the ore, which
is more spectacular than any other, is
employed by one of the companies.
The ore is shoveled into the furnace
with coke, lime rock and pyrites of
iron, which are used for fusing. The
fire is used with a blast of wind that
would ruu a Presidential campaign.
The slag flows out of the furnace over
the perforated top of the forehearth,
and the weight of the gold carries it
through the perforation into the fore¬
hearth, while the slag flows over it;
then the foreheartli is tapped and the
mat of gold and silver is drawn into a
pot on trucks.
When the mat is cooled it is beaten
with a sledge hammer and shipped to
Omaha to be separated.
The roots of the tree of evil have
many branches that grip the hills
round about Deadwood. No less hot
and suggestive is the mill of the
chlorination works, where the gold is
kept in tanks—a yellow liquid that
looks like sweet cider. Here the ore
is pulverized and then fed into big
barrels of iron, revolving horizon¬
tally, where it is roasted to get rid of
the sulphur by a flame that of' shoots
through a big hole in one end the
barrel.
The powdered ore is then treated
with chlorine gas, whereupon the gold
flows out of it in solution. Then it is
ciiurned awhile in a big, lead lined
tank until the gold comes like butter
in a black powder tiiat settles to the
bottom. To be more severely scien¬
tific, the gold and other metals are
precipitated by adding sodium sul¬
phide to the solution and stirring it
to hasten and intensify this chemical
action. The gold is then caught in a
series of cloth strainers, which are
bnrned to release tho metal.
There is still another process of
pulling the leg of mother nature in
the Black Hills. It is called the
cyanide process. At the mill of this
company the powdered ore is run into
great circular vats and treated with
cyanide of potassium, after which the
gold is leached out of it in solution.
This liquid then flows through a series
of boxes, each of which is filled with
zinc shavings. The zinc loves the
gold and seizes it, and the two are
wedded for a season—until Monday
of the succeeding week, to be exact—
when they are divorced by fire, the
gold being cast into bricks and sont to
the money changers.
The mill would look like a common
cheese factory if it were not so dirty.
The air is rank with fumes, aud one of
the workmen told me it made whiskers
grow in his windpipe, by which he
meant to say no doubt, that it was a
serious offence to his lungs.
The Homestake mine at Lead City
is the most monumental hole in the
ground in the Black Hills, and I fancy
it would be hard to find the like of it
anywhere else. They say that Hearst,
Lounsberry, Haggin and others
bought it some twenty years ago for
oue hundred thousand dollars. Bince
then they have taken out of it hard
on to a hundred million dollars. They
have ground up several of the ever¬
lasting hills, so called, and torn the
bowels out of two mountains. Now
they say there is enough paying ore in
eight to last twenty years.
There is a rapid stream flowing
along the road to Lead City that is red,
as if stained with the blood of the
mouniains standing rent and sore
about Lead City. The shaft is nine
hundred feet deep, and the ore com¬
ing up the hoist at the top of tho
mountain is fed into tho roaring muz¬
zles of the great verticle crushers.
Then it takes a slide to the stamp mill
down the gulch. Here four hundred
and sixty big iron shafts are pounding
up and down upon the ore like pile
drivers. Probably the roar of a
thousand cannon would not appeal
more strongly to the senses. One’s
loudest shout cannot be heard even by
his own ears.
The ore is fee to the stamps through
a sort of hopper, and the powdered
product drops into an artificial river,
which flovs over a loDg series of in-
clined planes covered with quicksilver,
quicksilver seizes tho gold and
it a prisoner. They say, how¬
ever, that three-quarters of a million
dollars’ worth of gold gets away from
them every year and washes down the
creek. Some consider this a rather
high estimate, but the fact that men
make good wages by working in the
water down the creek shows that a
large quantity of gold goes to waste
every yenr. hands
When the quicksilver has its
full of gold the tables are scraped and
the amalgam wrapped in large cloths,
like towels, and wrung and squeezed
by hand. The quicksilver bursts
through the meshes of the cloth in
shiny globules until the ball of amal¬
gam is reduced to the size of a goose
egg, when the gold is melted out of it.

Gather Skulls For a Living.
About five and forty miles below
Portland, on the Oregon side of the
Columbia, the broad expanse of water
here flows without a ripple, and it is
as deep and still as death. Just above
this point is “Coffin liock,” which
wrs the starting plaoe to “the happy
hunting ground” of the various Ore¬
gon tribes of Indians, but the high
water of 1862 swept Coffin Rock of all
its deposits to the point below.
Here the overflowing waters -of
nearly half a century ago lodged the
remains of many tribes, high and dry,
literally moving the last resting place
or their dead, for no Pacific coast
tribe ever buried their dead below the
surface of the earth. Some hedged
them''about with rooks, above the
ground, leaving the face upward and
exposed. Others put a bark covering
over them, while others were sus¬
pended from limbs or left in the
forks of trees. Time has robbed every
form of its substance and left only the
wdiitened bones and bleached skulls.
, Students, dentists and physicians
are eager to secure these trophies for
articulation. So great is the demand
that at least one man has foij years
followed the hazardous business of
gathering ther,3 skulls for the market.
It is risky, for the few remaining In¬
dians still keep vigil over the remains
of their dead, and to be caught in the
act would mean a prisoner in the re¬
cesses of the neighboring mountains,
followed by a death of slow torture,
for no quarter or mercy would be
shown the victim.
Still, knowing this, Howard Clause,
a reoluse, nightly risks his life to
gather these grinning, whitened skulls,
and every now and then a box of large
and small skulls is shipped from Port¬
land, Oregon, to tha various noted
seats of medical and dental learning
in the East.—San Francisco Call.
Wonderful Natural Ice Formation.
The people of Scott County, Vir¬
ginia, are thinking of making a popu¬
lar attraction out of a wonderful ledge
of ice which has been found there.
Why it does not melt under the warm
Virginia climate is a mystery.
This natural ice house is situated on
the north side of Stone Mountain, and
about six miles from the mouth of a
small stream known as Stony Creek.
The marvel is said to have been known
to at least one of the early settlers, a
Mr. Danridge, who, it is alleged, dis¬
covered it while deer hunting away
back in 1830.
Owing to the fact that the land on
which it was situated could not ba
bought, Mr. Danridge positively re¬
fused to tell of the whereabouts of the
ice ledge. He only visited the place
when it was absolutely necessary to
obtain a supply of ice to be used in
case of sickness.
Tho old man died many years ago
and from that time the location of
“Danridge’s Ice Mine” was unknown,
tho old gentlr len having never even
taken his own family into tho secret.
Recently, however, a party of herb
diggers visited the unfrequented
region contingent]to Stone Mountain,
and rediscovered the lost ice mine.
During two or three months in the
middle of summer the ice is only pro¬
tected from the sun’s rays by a thick
growth of moss.
The formation of the ice layer is sim¬
ilar to that of a coal vein, being thin
in some places and thicker in others,
the average thickness being about four
feet. Persons of some scientific at¬
tainments who have visited tho place
for the purpose of studying the wonder
say that it has the appearance of hav¬
ing been there since the time of the
lee Age.—New York Journal.
X Rays for the Blind.
A young girl was taken to Edison’s
laboratory, in Orange, N. J., to have
her head examined by the X rays for
the purpose of locating a cranial
lesion, which, it was believed, had
):>reased upon the optic nerve and ren¬
dered her blind. No lesion was found,
and the rays were then turned directly
upon the subject's eyes, when she de¬
clared she « c •' light.
She was able to tell the different
shapes of objects before her eyes while
suffused with the X rays, and de¬
scribed them accurately. In the case
of a disc of brass sho even was able to
tell the eoior, saying that it was yel¬
low. The experiment was considered
a great success,
Speaking about experiments in St.
Louis and San Francisco, Mr. Edison
said that all the accounts that ho had
seen spoke of the sight being restored
temporarily to tho patients by means
of the fluoro3cope. This, he said, was
an impossibility, as- the fluoroscope
stopped tho X rays entirely.
Ho said he was experimenting on
himself, closing his eyes and being
blindfolded. In this way he could ar-
rive at more accurate results, for the
reason that he knew absolutely the
conditions prevailing, and would not
be deceived by an appearance such as
might be the case with a blind man.
Ho is having special apparatus made
that will still further develop thissida
of the question.—Washington Star.

don’t work befoke beeakfast.
A bad custom is prevalent in many
families, especially among our farmers,
writes J. L. Hersey. It is the habit
of working an hour or two before
breakfast, doing the ohores, hoeing,
cutting wood, etc. This is convenient
in many cases, but is not conducive to
health. The common notion that the
morning air is the purest and most
healthful is wrong, for at no hour is
the air more filled with dampness and
fog than about sunrise. The heat of
the sun gradually dissipates these as
the day advances. An early meal
braces up the system against these ex¬
ternal influences. — Now England
Homestead.
BEGIN WITH THE BEST STOCK.
It tI is . very difficult for a farmer who
is just beginning in this business, and
who finds all sorts of expenses accumu-
lating, to make up his mind to
secure only the best stock, no matter
what it cost. Y*t if he really under-
stands his business this is what he will
do if his purchase has to be restricted
to a single animal Breeding from
tins he can soon stock up to the extent
that his farm requires, and his profits
or his live stock increase will be gen-
erally greater than from the growing
and sale 6t crops. It is the
of the live stock on the farm that i
managed as it should be that it
make the arm pay v bile it is being
all the time, made richer, and that
thus it will make the growing of crops
ultimately iirolitable.—Boston Culti¬
vator.
APPLES FOB COWS.
Apples are abundant this year, and
in many cases it is an open question
whether it will pay to ship them. We
would advise that only the very best
quality be shipped and tho lest be fed
to the cows. "Where markets are so
depressed, as at this time, it often
happens that common stock will not
pay any profit at all, while really
choice fruit will bring a fair price. If,
therefore, we ship only the best we
have a better chance of making some¬
thing on our apples, and at the same
time have a lot of good feed for the
cows, or, in fact, almost any kind of
stock.
Begin gradually, as should be done
with any new kind of feed, and work
up until you reach the desired limit,
which will be found to be about ten
pounds per day for a cow. Applt*
contain a greater proportion of carbo¬
hydrates to protein than most feeds,"
consequently they need to bo supple
men ted by dome feed rich ir> pr/s 1
such as linEeed meal or bran, ate ri
this case we would prefer the bran, aj
the apples themselves have all the
medical properties that make the lin¬
seed valuable.
If it is possible the apples should
be run through a root cutter, as there
is danger of the cows choliiDg them¬
selves. This danger is, we think,
rather remote, as wo have seen lots of
apples eaten by cows, and*jhave’:yet to
see the first cow choke.—National
Stockman.
SHEEP RAISING ON THE FARM.
I am a sheep man first, last and all
the time, for it is my belief that sheep
are the only farm animals that are
profitable, says John Newland. Ia
September, 1893, I bought seventy-
eight head of sheep, which averaged
sixty-six pounds. The following May
I sold twenty-five of these at $2.10 per
head, four head for $8.50, eighty-four
head for $120.40. I had lour left.
The sheep cost me $103.80. Bam¬
ming up all expenses, including first
cost, value of sheep on hand, wool,
etc., I find I made a net profit of
$94.70. Not counting labor required
to take care of the flock, I received
$1.50 per bushel for grain feed. This
does not take into account the value
of the manure, or the good tho sheep
did as scavengers. The man who
cares for sheep must be especially
adapted to this kind of work. In
1883, I was working for a man in Bar¬
ber County, Kansas, and had under
my charge 800 sheep. I took the
sheep through one of the hardest win¬
ters, and lost only twenty-six out of
the flock. This was considered re¬
markable, as the sheep men in that lo¬
cality count on a loss of ten per cent.
When the ewes began to drop their
lambs, out of a possible four hundred
I saved 360, or ninety per cent. It
wiisonly, however, by special attention
and care that it was possible to save
bo large a number.
Last year at my home in Indiana,
twenty-nine owes produced forty-one
lambs. The sheep which 1 feed and
handlo myself are no more trouble
than so many chickens. Some years
ago I went into partnership with Mr.
John Bailey and we bought 145 eheep.
The dry weather came on and Mr.
Bailey became alarmed, and told me
to take the entire flock myself. I did
bo. I sold 105 of them and retained
forty. At the end of the next year I
had a net profit of $119.20 Irom this
flock. This, too, under adverse con¬
ditions. From the above it will be seen
that sheep are profitable, if carefully
looked after.—American Agricultur-
ist.
guineas as game.
We have tramped the praries of Illi-
nois many a day back in tho ’6u’s in
search of praiiie chickens, writes H.
B. Geer. We havo shot them from tho
few trees in tho scattering groves that
bordered the creeks about Delaven
Prairie in Logan County. That wn;
when the whole country was np in
arms and the tramp of the soldiers was
heard in tho land, and shot and shell
abounded everywhere.
Then again, when in Missouri, right
after “Price’s raid,” in the southeast¬
ern pheasants part of the State, we hnnted
in the heavy woods of the
bottom lands of Perry and St. Gen¬
evieve Counties.
Those were stirring times, lively
times, and good times for the woods¬
man and hunter.
But all that is past now, and tho
country that then abounded in prairie
chickens, pheasants, etc., is now given
over to fields and lanes. Partridges
still abound, and are protected by law,

It would take but little effort on tho
part of tho farmers of any community
to stock their outlaying premises with
guineas, a species of bird fully as
good for the table as the prairie chick¬
ens that they hunted so vigorously in
the earlier days of the country.
' The flesh of the guinea is dark it is
true, but so is the flesh of any other
wild bird dark, and the guinea is just
as well suited to the table as tho wild
chicken of the prairie.
It occurs to us that the cultivation
of the guinea ss game to some extent
would be profitable and satisfactory,
—Farm, Field and Fireside.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTE3.
The asparagus fern is one of the best
plants for decorative uses, being ex¬
tremely graceful and very lasting.
The sheep should have a good dip¬
ping before winter sets in ; it will save
trouble, suffering and death during
that season.
One of the best fertilizers for tho
vAndow garden is the coffee left over
' .fealA.st. It should be applied
cold. Coffee grounds are often recom¬
mended, but I have found that they
have a tendency to mold.
Tne petunia is a very satisfactory
plant fora window box. It is well to
fill a window with them, as they re¬
quire a cooler room than some window
plants and plenty of sun. Then, too,
the massed effect of them is good.
The best palms for home growth are
the sturdy India rubber tree, the par¬
lor palm or Aspidistra lurida, and tbe
zebra palm Eulalia. These are hardy
and are easily kept clean, and will
stand the heat of the living room.
Nasturtiums can ;he readily grown
in water, tho same as the ‘hyacinth or
Chinese lily. The jar should bo half
filled with charcoal before the water is
poured in. The plant is started from
slips and soon presents a beautiful ap¬
pearance.
The following is recommended when
the sheep’s feet seem tender: One part
vasaiine or lard to one part acetate of
copper well ground and mixed with it.
This will counteract whatever poison
that may affect the feet tnrough tho
^cts of impure matter in ground,
Tho Origin of “Chestnut.”
In an old play called “The Broken
Sword” there is a captain who is al¬
ways telling old stories, tho details of
which often varies. He starts a tale
about a cork tree, when he is inter¬
rupted by another ciiaractor, who sug¬
gests “It was a chestnut, Captain, a
chestnut l”~____
cork “Bali!” tree.” says~lIIoniirptirm 7 - 1 H-^ay-a-
“A chestnut,” repeats the other. “I
should know as well as you, having
heard you tell tho tale those twenty-
seven times.” At a dinner one even¬
ing a gentleman was telling a story of
considerable antiquity when an actor
present, who had played in “Tho
Broken Sword,”said, half audibly, “A
chestnut. I havo hoard you tell tho
tale these twenty-sevon times.”—
Weekly Telegraph.
In tho Heart of nn Oak
A mystery was recently found in
the heart of an oak. From a tree of
this kind a large block, about eighteen
inches in diameter, that had been
knocking about in various yards and
woodsheds, was split up some time
ago, and in it was found an augur hole
about three-quarters of an inch in
size, containing a bunch of human
hair done up in a piece of printed pa¬
per. -Pittsburg Dispatoh.

A Georgia marble man says that i;

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water glass with,
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates a diseased con¬
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the kid¬
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Boot,
the great kidney romedy, fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary pas¬
sages. It corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the extraor¬
dinary effect of Swamp-Boot is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. Sold by drug¬
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar. For
