Experiment In Sarins; Flonr On Id at

of Land Increase.
HASTINGS, Neb. Aug. 22. (Special.)
Tho test of flour gold made at Brlckton on
the Blue river yesterday was a good success
and proved a big surprise to tho Chicago
parties who aro here with their mill for
extracting gold. It was much richer than
they expectod.
A run was mado with 300 pounds and the
milt had no trouble In separating the gold
from the sand Into the quicksilver vats. The
workmen nro compelled to shut down for a
few days on account of some of the quick
sliver entering Into one of tho cylinders.
J. F. Hoyt, tho Inventor of the machine,
said that yesterday's test was a great sur
prlso to all, as It showed nearly $15 to the
ton. This Is so much better than they had
anticipated that all concerned aro very
much elated over the test and are quite
anxious to have the mill In good running
order. They hoped to havo the quicksilver
leakage stopped la a day or so and will
havo the mill running In full blast by the
first of next week. Mr. Hoyt saya there
Isn't any question but that they can savo
tho flour gold and he Is now making ar
rangements to have a 600-ton machine put
In on the Blue, as he Is confident that the
sand along this stream for a distance of
thirty-five miles will run the same as that
which was tested yesterday.
As a result of this experiment the prlco
of land along tho Blue has risen consld
erably.

ally affect United States products. By far
the most Important of these Is noted In the
advancos of from 50 to 300 per cent In tho
rates on food materials, meata and live ani
mals. The present treaty rate on wheat of
83 cents would be Increased under the
new bill to $1.54 per 100 kilograms. The
United States sent 465,933 metric tons ot
this commodity to Germany last year.
As to American manufactures, the most
notablo pdvances made by tho new bill are
In the rates on bicycles and shoes. An
American bicycle, weighing about twenty
two pounds, would pay $3.57 Import duty
Instead of about $1.25, as at present. Shoes
would pay about double their present rate
Mr. Mnaon states that public discussion
of the tariff measure Is confined to two
points the alleged inadequacy of the pro
posed duties on manufactured products and
the effect which heavy advances In the rates
on food materials will have upon the non-
agricultural population of Germany.
CHINESE RUSE IS THWARTED
Oriental Knrontc to Mexico Are De
nied Admittance Unle Showing
I Made of Good Faith.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. The determina
tion of the Treasury department to take
advantage ot the authority given by the
Chinese exclusion act to regulate tho transit
through the United States of Chinese emi
grants bound for other countries was today
officially brought to the attention of the
Chinese legation.
The occasion presented Itself when an at
tache of the legation called upon Assistant
Secretary Taylor to lay before him a racs-
sago received from tho Chinese consul at
San Francisco, conveying the Information
that Chinese destined for Mexico had been
refused the privilege of landing at that
port. Mr. Taylor told the attache that the
department had become convinced that
most of tho Chinese who had gone Into
Mexico In the last two or three years had
smuggled themselves back across the bor
der Into the United States. He therefore
announced that hereafter the department
would refuse landing permission to Chinese
bound for Mexico unless It could be abso
lutely satisfied of their good faith.

precious lives might havo been, aud many
more can yot be saved, by paying atten
tion to the kidneys.
