One of these circulars was sent to the address of a dead friend of United States Marshal John H. Shine, and the Marshal, having had considerable experience with crooks, lald the matter before the post- officeauthoritles, who detailed Inspector J. W. Erwin on the case. Mr. Erwin seized the contents of Barstow's postoffice boxes In Oakland and San Francisco and found In each letters from the friends and relatives of dead men, containing postal orders, bank checks and currency for $5 each. Marshal Shine located Barstow yes- terday forenoon at the house of M C. Thielman, 1014 Second avenue, East Oak- land, and brought him to tne office of the Postoffice Inspectors, Inspector Erwin put Barstow through the sweating process for about an hour. He sald that his name was James Buck- ner and that he had assumed the name of Blair for personal reasons shortly after his arrival in this city from the East, ten months ago. Under the name of Robert Deuprey he had conducted what he called the Astrological Turf Information Bureau, at postoffice box 445. Oakland, the object of the bureau being to furnish tips on the races. Among the letters found in his box was one from H. Hart, 23 Kearny Circulars and Stamps. San Francisco, inclosing a small sum of ; ‘and informing Deuprey that his were bad and that Hart, who repre- sented himself to be a bookmaker, had lost $300 by following them. The prisoner denied that his name was Barstow, and pretended that that was the name of a man whom he met early in April and who kired him as office boy and messenger, to call for and open the mall apd deposit the money in bank for him. For this service he was to be paid $10 per week, Barstow's office was said to be at Kearny street, but the prisoner sald that he had never been inside the office. | The discrepancies and improbabllities in | the fellow’s story were so many that Mr. Erwin could not avoid the conclusion that Barstow and Buckner were one and the same and constituted the board of direct- ors of the Oneida Oil Company. A com- | plaint was accordingly made against the | prisoner and a warrant of arrest was is- | sued by United States Commissioner Hea- cock. A Perfact Concentrator. | William Patterson, a practical miner and inventor, gives the mining world a concentrator constructed on new lines, and one which in detail and results inter- ] ests any person who has gold to separate from foreign bodies. The principal features of this machine | are, first, the length of distributing sur- face embraced for saving the finest gold, | there being 188 feet. Inclusive of the tail race, which has forty feet. It is adapted for placer work and beach mining. It is not theoretical, but practical, and has been in constant use on black sand for seven years. There are no blankets, carpets, matting or jute sacks used. Instead the machine employs quarter-sawed cedar boards, which when wei will catch the finest sul- phurets, platinum and gold. The motion of a one-inch stroke creates a precipitating action which settles the 01d into the fibrous surface of the board. 'he machine is supplied with water by a rotary pump operated by the same power Which operates the machine. There is one late furnished with' the machine. which s Placed under the trip screen at the head of the first tray. Should nnf’ gold get away from the fibrous surface It is caught | in the mercury trap at the lower end of | the bottom tray. The auxillary parts con- | stituting this piant consist of, besides a complete machine, a tall race ‘lined with | boards, as aforesald; one wash box, 2x3, in which the concentrates are saved for future panning, and the trestles Upon which the box séts; the No. 5 double Totary pump and a plate containing five feet three-pound copper, plated with one ounce silver to the foot. My Patterson will explain the operation of this gold saver to any person calling at 227 Mission street, where it is in opera- tion daily from 11 to 4 o'clock. .
