IS ANOTHER DEVICE
FOR SAVING GOLD
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 22,—One
day, many years ago, H. L. Sherwood
was mining placer gold on the Feath
er river in California. The day had
been long ami hot. the toil arduous,
the »e>ult unsatisfactory.
He stood up, wiped the sweat from
his face and contemplated his old
fashioned rocker.
"Why couldn’t 1 put half a dozen
rockers down there together, fasten
’em w'th a cross bar and wash six
times as much gold in a day as I am
washing now?" he wondered.
I he experimenting begun l»y Miet
wood that day has resulted in his in
venting and building in Portland a
pla* er mining machine, upon which he
has been granted a patent by the
t inted States government. The ma
chine, he says, will take out of gold
bearing sand and gravel not only
course gold now obtained but the line
Hour gold that for years has been the
despair of every placer miner to re
tain.
It is sal 1 there is enough flour gold
in the bed of the Snake river alone
to pay the British national debt. The
name of the person making the calcu
lation has not been announced but
these and other statements indicate
that the success of the invention
would increase the annual gold pro
duction of the country by many mil
lions of dollars.
Mr. Sherwood's invention is a kind
of amplified rocker, operated by pow
er that bumps the screens over which
ti e sand and gravel are traveling
against a steel buffer at the rate of
Jlc » ?ne> a minute.
By the time the sand has passed
through one screen after another,
washed and bumped, and hn.> reached
the lower concentrating boxes, it is a
wit concentrate, in which the gold and
p! .tin im content is as great as possi
ble and the sand content diminished j
m*uh as pa.'>ible.
The concent rate is dried and burned*
-r
out *11 a big kettle over a forge, and|
quick silver is introduced. which
greedily amalgamtes with the gold.—

COBB’S LAW LIBRARY
IS ATTACHED BY CITY
JCN'EAU, Oct. 27.—A writ of at
tachment was issued yesterday after
noon by City Clerk E. W. Pettit on
the law library of John H. Cobb,
candidate for election as attorney
general for the Territory on an inde
pendent ticket.
The law library is assessed with a
tax of $>.» as a personal property tax,
and the records show that this is the
only tax paid by Mr. Cobb. The tax
became delinquent several weeks ago,
and as he has failed to pay it the writ
was issued. Mr. Cobb is out of town
at present, but on his return if he
fails to pay the tax the library will be
seized by the city marshal.—Ex.
