SOMETHING NEW.
A new gold saving machine is
r>' now being built in Chicago, which promises, to revolutionize placer mining and .make it possible to — tike princely,fortunes out of ground that in the past has been consider­ed entirely worthless from the fact
. that the gold in it is so light that up to the present time no contriv- ,'ance has been devised whereby it .could be saved. It is impossible
i) to give an accurate description of this machine, or hardly an intelli-
,gerit one, without a descriptive cut oflhe same. As they are now building it it will require an eleva­tor to carry to it, all .though their .. cau be other methods of conveying t ie pay dirt to it if one so desires. The machine is a table or box 27^
feet long-by five feet wide. In the
bottom of tlie box and about 3A feet apart, and sot in shallow trenches filled with quicksilver, are seven five foot rollers extending cross­wise the box and turned by chain •? and sprockets. Between the rollers, are copper plates which are quicked. About two inches of water passes over the plates and rollers. The revolving of the rollers form the rifiRes. Each roller turns in a bath of quicksilver and thus ' lubricates itself at each turn. The amalgam is removed under the table through openings which are secured by lock
and key. 1000 pounds of quick- . silver aro required to fill all the,
bathes, there being a bath for each
roller. The gravel before entering
the macliine passes over a grizzley which permits gravel up to two inches in circumference to' pass through.
If the machine will eqhal the
expect to have it here some time this month when the trial test ^ill
be made. The patentee will come with the machine and set it up and run it.

' DEAILERS I NIN
H. G. Lougee, a Spokane mining expert, spent several days in the camp this week inspecting the St. Louis. This property was located last year by Wm. Dahl,, and Jack Dunn, and is now bonded to some
Spokane parties. The parties who ■have the bond on the St. Louis have located eight more claims in the same vicinity.^ The ,^company have about 176 feet of work dnoe on the bonded property and have just let a contract for the driving
of a 100 foot tunnel, the same to be completed in about six weeks.
Mr. Lougee in speaking of the property saidi- “I have spent four days in examining the St. Louis and have been very thorough in making my selections and tests, and find gold enough in it to satis-: fy anyone. – It is the making of a
great mine.”Mr. Lougee is a mining man of long experience and his opinion carries great weight with it in min­ing circles. The company is now erecting their buildings'prepara­tory for their summers work, which
will be pushed along upon the re­
turn of Superintendent E. F. Staples
from Sj^okane.

The Dewey is making a test run of its ore. The ore is being milled
at the Crescent mill. The com­pany owns five claims. On ti e model it will certainly to a wonder- Dewey, proper, they have betweenful invention. In the test with the
model gravel was put through it • that one could not get a color from with a pan, yet good results were
. obtained from the came by running I" ;„.“‘VhXrmatloris the it through the machine, it saving I character
the very finest of flour and flake gold. A -company, which owns large placer properties in the Pierce • distriat, have an option on the first
■ ten machines to be built, and* are now having one built, in Chicago,•tD operate in this district. They
350 and 400 feet of tunneling tlone. The vein is narrow but exceedingly rich. There is no doubt but that
it is an extention of the Wild Rose same
f the ore is
identically the same. The owners of the Wild Rose, also, have traced their ore body to within 50 feet of
the Dewey’s south end lines. The future work oh the Dewey will be largely ..decided by the test now be­
ing made.
