TESTING ORE SAMPLES.
Work of the Aissayer on the Colo
riwlo Minor's "Pooket Full of
I?ock".Uncortain
Ileiulte.
Colorado Cor. IkMton Trancrlit.
TlMro U a great difference in the wayi In
which the miners neloct their wunplf for a
Mying. Ono man will hunt around until ho
finds a piece of ore which looks as if it would
run very ri-h in fact, taken the towt-looking
IiiH-e of ore that he can find and carries it
to the assuyor to be tented ; and if it prove
to run high, oen amoizhLs friends and brags
alxitit tho biff &Hntf lie Ket from hLi mine,
Lut often nij4le-tn to say how much of that
ri'-h ore h. luw; very likely a streak onlj" an
an inch or two wide. Another man, gener
ally one ho Li bkKNel with n pfxxl itliai-e of
e.imiiioti h. dko, vill tako a rartiplo which a
I'-nin to him to bo of average value and have
that nsriiyed, and then knows something
nb'iut thn vnluo of tho ore. liut the Ix-nt
wuy of it, all in to take a largo mnipln from
tiro ir:inr, cnish and sample it, and have tho
.inipl; iisnje.l. This l wiiat is alino-st al
ways lion-; when it w wihh'.l to find out
v. h,-t!: r it w ill pay to bhip tho oio to iiluc
tion wrlt'. Firty or a hundn l pounds ii
ttf ual!y a j icnty to !:avo t: 1 i i t'.in -vcy.
A .'aiiijiii? of ore in often bi ui:;;!.t to tho a-.-i
t to f tiftt' d Ixxvui.io the enst'.mr does
riot kiM.v what it is; and wh-.i that in the
c:w, he !!iin!:s it may carry silver and ha
may have a lK.nanza. Humpl.s rf h'n kind
inn often curiuUA 1 Lae had a ioe cf clay
brought to mo. ond on--e hail a pioce of limo
stone impregnated with carlxinaeiHius matter
to uiui'h as to ivsetnLle a iere of an'hracito
ttrfil. If n miner ilnJj a dejiJt of any sub
ttance wliii-h ho !. not recognize, ho is
invtfy K'lro to hav.: it n'--sayed, rv:n if it.
Khows no bigii of tnetallifei-ous mliiorals. X
think it must liavo Uvu tho Iendville car
Imuates which start-! this indiscriminate as
raying, for certainly t!ny are apt to 1 inno
centrl. Hiking pi s of rook, not what one
would oxect t' l;ivi any great value; in
fact, in California gulch, where Leadvillo
now la, the gold diggers for nearly twenty
year tinned over the heavy boulders of load
carbonates which were in their way, but
never thought to invcutigate the cau of
their weight, and so the mines which were
destined I" oinko Colorado take the lead as a
nilvfr-p" i ;ciiig stato remaiued for a long
tir.'o i.udiwovered.
tkr.'ie of f h directiorut given to the cuayer
are very amusing. A man will come in and
lay down a iece of ore and say, "I want an
r.y on that rock; and nee hero, I don't
want you to chuck the rock out of tho back
door, nvl then sii, down and write out a cer
tificate but I want you to run it through tho
fire." I havo bad just such remarks made to
me, and of c urso Lave rromisel to do my
best to make a correct assay. Another miner
will say, '"I want you to be very -.orticuiar
to grind the whole of this piece up," as sonio
assiiyei-s are Misjieeted of knocking off only
a part of the sample if it is a pretty good
sized on. Ptill another will give very par
ticular directions about breaking up the
samplo and throwing out all tho barren
quartz or other gangue rock. Of courso
there in a great difference in the way they
take the results of tho assny. If tho renult
is a good one, the miner generally makes
Eomd pleased remark; but it w over the low
returns th;t human nature shows out tstrong
est. One man will swear and say, ""Well, I
thought that rock would run better than
this;" ftnother will hopefully remark, "Better
luck next time." Many will walk off with
out a word. On9 young fellow whose oro
inn nothing, philosophically remarked, "If I
have another run made and it goes anything
at all it will bo improving, won't iti" and
kept joking about it all day.
One cf the most common qnrt!ons asked
an assayer is, "What do you think this ore
v.-iil runf And it is often a most difficult
one to answer. As for myself I generally try
to dodge the question, unless 1 feel very sure,
for ore are very deceptive in appearance,
and pieces which look very promising often
prove quite worthless, and other pieces which
look eood for nothing may prove very rich.

Hero, .ii th? foot of tho mountain, tho
Apache trail, which has b?a fo':owe.1 frr
three days, has grown cold. Aye. it ba ben
lost. It is as if the white men had followed a
path which suddenly ended at a precipice.
From this point the red demons took wins,
and the o! Jest trailer is at fault.
Tho men on picket locked up and down th
narrow valley with anxious faces. Down
the vaiiy, a mile away, a solitary wild
horse paws and prances and utters shrill
neighs of wonderment and alarm. Up the
valley is a long stretch of green grass, the
earth as level as a floor and no visible sign of
life. The pines, and shrubs, and rocks on the
mountain side might hide 10.000 Indians, but
there is not the slightest movement to arouse
suspicion. It is a still, hot day. Not a bird
chirps, hot a branch waves. The eye of
lynx could detect nothing beyond the erratic
movements of the lone wild horse adown the
valley, and the circular flight of an eagle so
high in air that the proud bird seemed no
larger than a sparrow.
For an hour every man and horse has
looked for " signs," but nothing has been dis
covered beyond what has been described. It
is a lost traLL There is something in it to
arouse suspicion as well as annoyance. Ten
miles away the trail was as plain as a coun
try highway, and the Indians had no su. pl'
cion of pursuit. Five miles back there were
signs of commotion, nere, in the centre of
the valley, every footprint suddenly disap
pears. Look now! A sergeant with grizzly locks
and fighting jaw rides down the valley, fol
lowed by five troopers. They are to scout for
the lost trail. Kvery man has unslnng his
carbine, every saddle-girth has been tight
ened, and every man of the six looks over
the camp as he ridea out as if he had been
told that be was bidding a last farwell to
comrades. They ride at n slow gallop. Each
man casts swift glances along the mountain
side to his right along the mountain sido to
his left at the green gras under bis hone's
feet.
What's that! Afar up tho -dope to the
right something waves to and fro for a mo
ment. Higher up the trignal is answered.
Across the valley on the other slope it is
answered again. Down the valley, a full two
miles beyond where the wild horfc now stand
like a figure of stone, and where tho valley
6weeps to the right like tho sudden turn of a
river, the signal is caught up and 300 Apa
ches, eager, excited, and mounted, draw
bark into the fringe at tho b&se of the moun
tain and wait.
The little bond gallop straight down upon
the lone horse. Now they are only half a
mile away, and his breath comes quick and
his nostrils quiver as h e stands and stares at
the strange spectacle. A little nearer and his
muscles twitch and quiver and bis sharp
pointed ears work faster. Ouly eighty rods
cow. and with a tierce snort of alarm and de
fiance ho rears up, whirls about like a top,
and is off down tho valley like an arrow sent
by a strong hand. The sight may thrill, but
it does not increase the pace of those who
follow. The men see the wilJ horse fleeiu;
before them, but the siht does not hold their
eyes more than a secviid. To the right to

Look! It fs only a quarter of a mi! now

"Carlisle" in Boston. H; rJd.
Three days of the Caribooaa sa and the
next sunrise reveals the dark gToen moun
tain range of the isthmus, and a few hou:-s
Jau-r the eugines give their last throb beaido
the dock at Aspimvall. A few 3ear a .o the
place had SM pjpulation; it now claim-Un
tia.es that number. The great canal has
given it a wonderful impetus. The French
are there by the thousand, and other nation
alities are drifting in for tho benefit of
trade and barter. Duildinga are Tpringin-j
up at every hand and rent at fabulous prices.
Itevi ients admit that it is tho dirttet town on
the w.-stem oocin-r;t. The stringer's first
im- rtsssoa h tnat it would be a good thing to
turn thi hose on it ana on a very iarp:o per
..-outage -f ths people, too. Tha bettor classes
live m a ru'orban section, known as the
' Beach road." Tbi3 runs beside the shore,
and the hoitsi, whitewashed and of a light
frame construct ion, face upon it Their in
Ci&iu sev iittie cf the tilth and degradation of
the town, and certainly need not wish to. Au
English resident said: Oh. this isn't a very
Lad place, you know. There nro not many
deaths among the whites.1' Tiiis .statement
may be truo y .'t it is not surprising. No re
spectable person would care to die in Aspiu
wall if he con!. I gvt any other place on the
face on this earth to make his start into eter
nity. The Panf.riu railroad runs southeast forty
seven miles, from A spin wall to Panama, wind
ing among mi's, with some appalling crvens.
It wrecks a freight train or two daily, and it
has a ticket system which wrecks the mind
and reasoning faculties of the stranger. In
God's country 'otherwise known as the
Uuited States) your fare is cheaper if you
take a through ticket. Here they charge $25
for a through ticket for 47 miles that is, if
you are a stranger. But if you are a resi
dent, and it makes no difference whether you
go to-day or next year, you can secure a tick
et for about f 10. Even this figure may be
bettered. A gentleman who came down on a
s' inner, and was conversant with the pecu
liarities of this most peculiar ticket system,
purchased a ticket for a part "of the distance
for f 3. He left tho train at the midway
ftation to attend to a business mat
ter, and the following day paid only
$2 for ' the remaining distance.
The scenery along the road is afc
tractive. The operators upon the canal are
in view at many points from the car win
dows, for the route of the canal traverses
very closely the line of the railroad. The
dredging machines are deepening the Chagres
liver, which will be utilized for a considera
ble ditanc3. The landscape is dotted with
the white stakes placed by the surveying
parties. Gang? of workmen are eating into
a hiihado at a peiat; a another tilling vp
a gulch. A contractor pointed out a spot
where there aro to bo forty-two acres of
filling to a height of from thirty to sixty
foot. It seems an cnomaly to ran a canal on
the top of an embankment, but it will be not
an uncommon thing en rrJmy parts of the
line. From tho train there is a panorama
of beautiful tropical scenery. The
foliage is luxuriant, and strange trees and
flowering shrubs meet tho eye every
where. Tho cocoanut palm, the orange,
lemon, pineapple, banana and similar growths
become familiar sights. Beside the road are
frequent groups of native bute of a single
story, earthen floors, and roofs thatched with
palm leaves. The natives, of mixed Indian
and negro blood, are of a brown bue. and
rather undersized. Their clothing is in the
interest of economy. The men are satisfied
with white cotton shirts and breeches and
broad straw bat. The women find moet com
fort in a single white cotton garment, always
in imminent danger of falling clear to the
ground from the shouldera, which are not
half covered. With the little children this
danger is often a reality. Industry does not
burden any of these people. A day's labor
furnishes for a week such simple food .s thoy
require beyond what nature yields tkiii freu
of charge.

Next to the pump.ng-room-, toe ilrst object
to draw attention is a sU uctare which, seen
sidewise, suggests the sections of an East
river dry-dock. But all the interior is filled
with square cisterns set side by side, and cov
ering a space say 100 feet lou. by half as wi.li
By rough estimate theoe cisterns are ten foot
wide, thirty or forty long, and six feet deep.
Some of them are almost empty, others
pretty full of fluids of different colors; but
this fluid is in all cases the water that has
been pumped from the adjacent well a few
hours before, an I its varied hues aro due to
chemical changes caused by exosure to
the air, and by the precipitation of impuri
ties. In one tank the water is clear as
crystal; in the next it is of a tawny mu 1
tint; then comes a tank where the fluid takes
on the lustrous inky color of deep ocean
water, and in a fourth cistern it is poa
green. Next go to the water as it comes
straight from the well and flows purling from
tho rough wood trough connecting with the
pump. Hero the water is bright and spark
ling as a mountain brook. Taste it. It is as
bitter as wormwood, with an intense pucker
ing savor, as nauseous as a strong fluid dose
of quinine. All its soltness seems lost in the
acid, sickening bitterness, which remains in
the mouth long after the tongue has touched
the fluid. In fact, however this taste, which
seems bitter, is only saltnees intensified For
tia water contains mere than ninety per cent,
of aH the salt that water can possibly be made
to dissolve. It is rather more than ton times
as salt as sea water of which S'i0 gallons are
needed for a bushel of salt and at some wells
twenty-five gallons of Saginaw salt will pro
wUl produce a bushel of solid salt crystals.
THE STEAM ROOM.
Finally we reach the salt works proper,
or " block," as the local title goes, in which
the water Is evaporated from the solid ingre.
diente and the salt product actu-Uly mado
It is an immense low building with a single
compartment. Across it from side to side
run vats about one foot deep, cross d length
wise by a long set of planks, serving for a
footway. From each vat pours out a
volume of steam, filling the building with
a thick, warm fog, so d-iise that the gaza
can penetrate only a few feet. Pipes filled
with steam run at the bottom of the vats,
keeping the watei-s steadily twenty or thirty
degrees lielow the boiling point. The process
of evaporation may b- brie3y described
from its initial stage: First, the settle!
water from tho cisterns 13 ran into a Bet of
vats where the temperature N raised toalwit
180 degrees. Then it is drawn to s second -set
raised to a beat ten degrees highor. Here
the crystallization of tho salt begin? The
hot water prenentty- begins to look more nrir

gradually as they iaereasa sink to the Imttom.
Those are the -a!t crystals, which crc-I'j-ig 'lo

SAGINAW SALT IX TRADE.
The growth and present size of an industry
which has been established in this valley for
Vat little more tha-? twenty years is astonish
ing In 1S6W the v-bole product was but 4.000
barrels. Now the ind'.istry produces almost
three and a half million barrels, with an iu
verted cap! of t5.OOC.000. and a yearly
product worth between 12,000.000 and :i.
XXi.JoO By the last figures at hand the
Saginaw region turns out about one-half of
al! the salt manufactured in the United
ta.es The local cheapness of the salt i
alone enough to teitify to 'the wonderful
productiveness of the valley. A barrel of
alt holds 2St pounds, yet it costs here, bar
rel and a!L only 7? cents, and in bulk the
product is sold still cheaper
