The Daily Transcript. f A Hole in the Bank, Prof. Tilton and son, who appear to think they have found a quicksilver deposit on the north side of Edwards’ grade just'above the watering trough, are cutting into the bank a hole the size of which makes the natives: stare, “T’ll be danged,” said’ one of the natives who came to: town yesterday, “if they haven’t started a ‘tunnel the mouth of whichis thirty-five feet wide, and the roof of which ig going to be over twenty-five feet high.” A rumor is out to the effect that the Tiltons are pretending to mine there as a mere blind, their real object in settling in such a picturesque and lonely locality. being to tunnel into the mountain a distance of several thousand feet and then to scoop out the center of the mountain till they have a cave that will rival the mammoth caveof Kentucky. This cave they could rtilizé as a summer resort, and by connecting it with the county seat by a cable railroad would doubtless get a good many boarders in the heatedterm. Johnnie Holbrook, who has been driving the Eureka stage for several days past, and thus had a good opportunity to watch the work, does not take any stock in the cave story. He thinks the Tiltons are just trying to n.ake a level place to build a barn on, County Supervisors. WepyeEspay, July 25, 1888. The Board met pursuant to adjournment, all the members being present.

A USEFUL INVENTION. —_— Fenner’s Rock-Separator for Workine Flat Mining Ground. — City, Montana, has patented through the Mining and Scientific Patent Agency an apparatus to separate the larger rock from the finer material in ground-sluice and hydraulic mining, where want of fall or other conditions make it necessary to keep the heavier material from going into a bed-rock flume. To owners of flat mining ground this invention is a very “important one, as it will be found of the Greatest utility. It will in this direction have a large field of usefulness. Mr. Fenner, who was one of the pioneers of Alder Gulch, Montana, has had some 27 years experience in working flat ground. The usefulness of a practical separator by which rock cally is apparent to every miner who has worked ground where want of fall or other conditions make it necessary to keep the heavier material from going into a bed-rock flume. Where there is want of fall it is made possible to work with a flume having little grade, and where the condition of dump is such as to make it desirable to retain the larger rock, the scoop in this machine can be grated coarsely 80 as to keep back only such as will interfere with the dump. In mines where it is necessary to impound tailing this machine may aid in the solution of a difficult problem. Where rapid work is required, two or more separators can be used on a line above the head of the flume. The scoop of the head separator would then have a coarse grating and the onés below. would be graded so that the gravel will be given the required fineness before passing into the flume. The lower half of the 15 miles of Alder Gulch, Montana, has but little fall, and only the finest portion of the gravel can be allowed to pass off through the bedrock flumes, which are necessarily of very light grade. Mr. Fenner owns a portion of this flat ground, and has for some years experimerted with and perfected appliances to remove the rock. This machine is the result, and a boy with this can do the work of half a dozen men with forks and wheelbarrows, and so effectually that a bedrock flume with a grade of linch to 12 feet carries the tailings with ease that pass the machine. The accompanying engraving shows the apparatus patented by Mr. Fenner. In-the—lower—portion—of-the-frame= work of the apparatus is formed a small sluice, one end of which connects with the ground sluice. A horizontal grizzly is placed over the other end of the sluice. A perforated ‘or grated scoop is pluced over this sluice and directly behind the grizzly. This scoop has a frame mounted on a pivotal shaft, by whic it may turn through an arc in a vertical plane, making a partial revolution for the purpose of dumping its load. A vertical grating or grizzly is located between the horizontal grizzly and the scoop. This grating is secured to a frame having a pivotal shaft, whereby it. may be raised or lowered about the shaft as 4 center through an are in & vertical plane. One end of the motor shaft (run by water-wheel) carries.a friction pulley which operates on another placed on a winding-drum, to which is secured a cable, passing over suituble pulleys and connected with the frame of the scoop. A weight is suspended by cables passing over pulleys, and connects with the frame of the scoop, by which the scoop is turned to a vertical position where, by reason of its center of gravity being on its grated side, jt gravitates to and is held in its normal position. A car is run in ona track There is talk of putting down a pat-. just back of the scoop and is to receive ent cement sidewalk in front of the. itg Joad. Thera is a brake-lever for Odd Fellows Hall, the Citizens Bank, and Rosenberg’s building. The County Supervisors will also be urged to have the line extended in front of the Treasury building. These sidewalks are much neater in appearance and more healthful than’ wooden walks, and on account of their durability are cheaper intheend. At Grass Valley they are quite commayn. Kven livery stable properties in that enterprising town possess them, Who Can He Be? A drummer for a Sacramento firm has been making love to a Grass Valley girl, and a scandal has been caused by the discovery that the gay Lotharig has a wife and baby at Sacramento. It is also claimed that there is in San Francisco a woman whom he once married and neglected to sub‘quently get a divorce from. That ‘ chap ought to recejve the attention of the Truckee tar-bucket brigade. Fo be Fried for Battery.

The vertical grating is at this time elevated so that the passage is clear tothe main separator scoop, through which the remainder of the finer materia] passes into the slujce below, while all the large rocks are retained. As soon as thia-scoop hus a sufficient load the lever is moved, so as to relieve the winding-drum of its brake, therehy allowing the operation of the friction gearing and the rotation of the drum which winds up thecable. The scoop is thereby drawn over through a partial revolution so as to discharge its load upon the car. Before this is done, however, the leyer is raised from its rack, whereby the vertical grate is allowed to move down and stap the passage of the large rocks while the sco:p is discharging its Joud. When the scoop the vertical grating is again raised to its position, and the operation continves as before. The weight referred to is so suspended and connected with the scoop that when the scoop is in a normal po ition the weight acts against it, to agsist the main power in dumping it; but when the scoop passes the center the weight acts to bring it back again. Owners of flat mining ground will be interested by a degcription of Mr. Fenher’s process of working, before the eonditforis of his ground would admit. of a bedrock flume of even smali grade, A description he wrote for the press a year since is here reprinted, as, in egnnection with the engraving, it gives good idea of the method employed: ~~ j Lawrence A. Fenner of Vitginia . can be handled rapidly and economi} comes back to its normal position; . . ee ~ (i A Recently Invanted Machine For Working Flat Mining Ground. “Commencing at my lower line, where there was an outlet for only fine tailings at the creek level, some manner of mining was necessary in order to be profitable whereby the water of the gulch could be made to hoist and wash the gravel at the surface until a point was reached above, where a flume of small grade would touch bedrock and have its dump near my lower line. For this purpose f£ constructed pa machine, similir to the one now used for removing rock from the ground sluice; with-the addition of anincline track and self-dumping .cars to carry the gravel from bedrock -to ‘the machine. Using this machine, a pit 100 feet up the gulch, the width of the pay streak and to the bedrock (17 feet deep) was shoveled. into cars, hoisted to the machine and washed, and the rock piled out, of the way, the fine gravel pussing off through ashort string of sluices, possessing the same advantages for'saving gold as undercurrents, “After clearing a pit as described, it served for impounnding the tailings, which were ground-sluiced nearly halfway to bedrock, from the top of a pit of equal area above. While fillingthe pit, the water from the ground sluice passed off below through a box tuailrace, with only full sufficient to carry clear water, and which ulso served as adrain. This box trail-race was made strong enough to resist the pressure of the overlying wet gravel, which was considerable while ground-sluicing. ft was Taid to the head of each pit be= fore filling, and the water let into it by a shaft, or monument,which was built up,as filling progressed, so as to keep the sand and gravel from entering the tail-yace. After stripping in this manner, the machine was moyed up on the filled ground, and the remainder of the gravel shoveled into cars and hoisted as before, when the process of filling by ground-sluicing the surface from another pit was repeated, ‘(A 12-foot overshot water-wheel, driven by 80 miners’ inches of water, gave the power to hoist the gravel from bedrock, and to carry the washed rock from the machine back on the worked groynd ; the same water which’ furnished power for hoisting _ being turned on to the sluices between each carload to wash the gravel. Working by this method fo: several ye.rs, five men (one to tend machifie and four to shovel) ren:oved and washed 12,144 ‘cubic yards of gravel. each mining season, 185 days being the average season. “Reaching «a point on my yround where a flume was practical, my rockseparator was brought into use. This machine is placed near the ground -to be mined, ang at the head of a 30-inch bedrock flume having a grade of one inch’to 12 feet. A moveable fluthe which can be curved to accoinmodate the ground-sluce above, and given sufficient grade, carries the heavy gravel to the machine, where the rock is separated and dumped automatically on either side of the main flume, forming a continuous pile-as the works are moved up. My plan of working is to keep the gronnd-sluice V shaped, with the point down toward the machine. While ground-sluicing ig progressing on one side of the V, bedrock can be cleaned on the other, After groundsluicing and cleaning bedrock on one side of the V, a low wall is built against the unworked ground, and the top from the central line of the gulch toone side is stripped in the same manner as before described when the sjuiging wag dane gt the surface, the contingous pile of rock at the side of the main flume restraining the tailings but allowing the water to pass off comparatively clear, This leaves a little over half of the bank to be ground-sluicel and separated by machine.”’ There is, without doubt, throughout the Pacific States and Territories, a large amount of ground which might he profitably mined by the use af these machines.
