It is espec— ially adapted. for working placers containing flour gold which it is impossible to save by existing processes, and it seems to us te have considerable merit. It is not applica ble to mills doing wet crushing, as the process is entirely dry, but he claims with dry sta.nping he can save more gold then any existing process, and abselutely without loss of quicksilver. Brietly described it is as follows: The machine consists of an-iron tank containing quicksilver, in which revolves an iron «drum directly under the hopper. The dry ore'or sand being fed through the hopper, it drops upon the drum ina thin layer, “to the surface of which it -adheres, as the drum is. wetted by a sprinkler directly in front of the hopper.

Myself and another party—I will call him Mr. Twelveinch—were returning from Marysville with a load of provisions, After striking the foothills I noticed the horses were tugging and puffing with the load. I got down and walked a distance ahead; and on discovering the cause I holloed back to Mr. Twelveinch that his wheel was froze. He had never handled horses, beiug an old miner.

Telegraph:—The Supreme Court has ren-~ dered a decision which will shut off one avenue of escape of which criminals have frequently availed themselves in this county. The Court holds that when a proaccuting witness *‘skips” and gannot be found by the Sheriff after the exercise of ‘‘due. dili-~ gence,” the transcript of the testimoney given by the witness at the preliminary examination of the prisoner may be introduced in evidence to take the place of oral testimony.

Here, running sores formed which would scab over, but would break immediately on moving the leg. My mother tried everything she could think of, but all [was without avail, Although a child, Iread in the papers about the beneficial effects of Ayer’s Pills, and persuaded my mothber to let me try them. With no great faith in the result, she procured Ayer's Pills and I began to use them, and soon noticed an improvement.

Myself and another party—I will call him Mr. Twelveinch—were returning from Marysville with a load of provisions, After striking the foothills I noticed the horses were tugging and puffing with the load. I got down and walked a distance ahead; and on discovering the cause I holloed back to Mr. Twelveinch that his wheel was froze. He had never handled horses, beiug an old miner. He descended from the wagon, clapped his hand to the axle and with an oath and surprise exclaimed: ‘' Froze, — ; it’s as ‘ot as ’ell!” D. spatial etciadiaete danas Tuat shortness of breath is dyspepsia.

Telegraph:—The Supreme Court has ren-~ dered a decision which will shut off one avenue of escape of which criminals have frequently availed themselves in this county. The Court holds that when a proaccuting witness *‘skips” and gannot be found by the Sheriff after the exercise of ‘‘due. dili-~ gence,” the transcript of the testimoney given by the witness at the preliminary examination of the prisoner may be introduced in evidence to take the place of oral testimony. Heretofore many criminals have managed to escape by paying the prosecuting witness to leave town. 5 FURS EH Ee ee House and Lot for Sale.

He says: ‘‘I was feeling sick and tired and my stomach seemed all out of order. I tried a number of remedies, but none seemed to give me relief until I was induced to try the old reliable Ayer’s Pills, .I have taken only one box, but I feel like 4 new man. I think they are the most pleasant and easy to take of anything I ever used, being so finely sugar-coated that even a child will take them. I urge upon all who are in Need of a laxative to try Ayer’s Pills.” — Boothbay (Me.), Register. “Between the ages of five and fifteen, I was troubled with a kind of saltrheum, or eruption, chiefly confined to the legs, and especially to the bend of the knee above the calf. Here, running sores formed which would scab over, but would break immediately on moving the leg. My mother tried everything she could think of, but all [was without avail, Although a child, Iread in the papers about the beneficial effects of Ayer’s Pills, and persuaded my mothber to let me try them. With no great faith in the result, she procured Ayer's Pills and I began to use them, and soon noticed an improvement. Encouraged by this, I kept on till I took two boxes, when the sores disappeared and have never troubled me since.” —H. Chipman, Real Egtate Agent, Roanoke, Va. “J suffered for years from stomach and kidney troubles, causing very severe pains in various parts of the body.
