What is Placer Mining?.
To give a homely illustration of
placer mining take a bushel of
coarse sand mixed with gravel a
bushel of earth a considerable
proportion of clay a little cement
a double handful of shot varvinc
in size from the smallest bird shot
to the end of your little finger
and imagine all this stuff to be
mixed thoroughly together. How
would you go at it to extract the
shot in the least possible time and
at the least expenditure of labor!
If you had heard of placer mining
you would wash the earth away
and save the shot.
All you need is a pan aud plen
ty of water. Any sort of flat ves-
sel from a soup plate to a dish
pan will answer the purpose. The
miner's pan is .mped like a cake
pan with a flat bottom. When a
.prospector starts out he takes one
I made of copper. Gather with
your hands or a pick or a shovel
a quart of this mixture of soil just
described and put it in the pan.;
Fill the pan nearly full of water.
The earth will be softened into
mud. Add more water. Then
tilt your pan over a very little and
the soft mud will run out over the
top of the pan. Continue the op-
eration and in ten or llfteen min-
utes the earth has run off and all
that you have left in the pan is the
shot which being heavier than the
earth have sunk to the bottom
together with any gravel you may
have thrown in originally. The
work of separating the shot from
the gravel after the earth has been
washed away is easy.
Substitute particles of gold for
your leaden globules and the wild-
est kind of a mountain country for
the men in the Klondike

aud
has electrified the world. In the
manuerabove described they have
been washing the precious metal
from earth found on a very rough
broken region larger than the city
Iinnts ol Chicago. The miners
have ha.' ho other appliances but
the pan and the water of the
creeks flowing through the Klon-
dike district. What makes the
authentic reports from Alaska so
startling is the extraordinary yield
of gold to the pan. Nothing like
it or nearly approaching it has
ever been heard of before in the
creek beds they have picked up
chunks of gold as large as your
hand and single nuggets worth
slOO or more.
In the language of the minr.
the earth from which the gold is
extracted is called "dirt." Any
earth which yields ten cents of
gold to the pan is known as "pay
dirt;" 15 cents to the pan is good
and liO cents is rich. A miner
working in dirt that runs G to 10
cents to the pan earns from $2.50
to jj.'J.no a day as he is able to
wash about forty panfuls a day
the number depending on the
character of the dirt. In Klon-
dike the lowest yield to the pan is
reported as 30 cents. This would
give the miner not less than 10 a
day for his work. Some panfuls
yield 100 in precious metal. The
gold that remains in the pan after
the earth has been washed awayi
is called "dust." Some of it is
line as the finest sand some the
sjA. f a piuhead and some as
'large as a pea or the end of your
little linirer: but it is all known

as dust. Liumps tne size oi a

called nuggets.
The gold itself is the measure of
the day's or month's or season's
profit. Au ounce of it is worth.
barring fractions $-0 any place in
civilization. You can buy as
much of anything you want for an
i ounce of dust as you can for a i'0
piece. All stores in mining
. ilistriets are nrnvided withhold
scales and the miner's gold is ac-
cepted as so much coin of the
realm. Ihe quantity ol gold it

you can

how little bulk
there is to the
gold saved in one

ler than a silver dime. Now if a
miner can save in one panful a
tenth part of a gold dollar he is
making fair wages
Some of the gold is in such line

Gold in the Wichltas. ;
Perry Ok. Aug. 2. Gold is be-
ing found in the Wichita Moun-
tains in great quantities. An In-!
dian with his squaw and papoose I
came in from the mountains and
purchased $600 worth of goods
and tendered in payment an oval
piece of metal resembling brass
which the clerk told him was no
good. The Indian laughed and
said: ''You heap crazy him gold."
Just then the manager of the store
came in and carried the metal to
the bank where the cashier pro-
nounced it gold and offered him
i00 for it. The Indian had It
other pieces which he said he had
dug out of the ground in the
Wichita Mountains and his squaw
had flatteued on a piece of iron.
He said the nuggets were of dif-
ferent shape when he found them
but he had beaten them to give
them the same general appearance.
Newspapers of that vicinity state
that another rush is planned for
these gold fields which have been
so closely guarded by troops and
cattlemen that they have never
been fully explored.

Five hundred reported killed up

Just Why He Wanted a Pass
one of the Chicago trunk lines re-
ceived a letter from a Kansas man
the other day requesting a pa.
for himself to Chicago and return.
Then was nothing about the letter
to indicate that the writer had any
claim to the courtesy he request-
ed but the railway man thought
that perhaps the Kansan had
some connection with the road
possibly as a local freight agent.
JSo he wrote back:
Please state explicitly on what
account you request transporta-
tion." By return mail came this reply:
"I've got to go to Chicago some
way. and I don't want to walk."-
