product of the smelting operation is an alloy of lead,
antimony, and silver, the antimony varying from
thirty to forty-five per cent. To separate these
metals two distinct processes are required, and in
furnaces peculiarly adapted to each operation. In
the first, the antimony is volatilised and driven off,
leaving an alloy of pure lead and silver. This is
called calcining. In the second the lead is oxidised,
forming litharge, and run off, leaving the silver
alone in the furnaces, in large cakes of from $3,000
to $5,000 each. This operation is called the cupel-
ling. The ore is readily smelted, the chief expenses
being in refining. At present fifteen tons are re-
duced daily, producing about $1,500 in silver alone.
The pure lead reduced from the litharge, after the
loss incident to the operation, amounts to four toes
daily. This is piled up to await the railroad which
will run within a mile of the works before an-
other year. The lead will then pay nearly the en-
tire cost of producing the silver, leaving that a clear
profit. The antimony, now wasted, may be made
to add largely to the profits of the mine. The ore
is smelted by charcoal, which costs fifty cents a
bushel. It is from nut pine, and comes from forests of
timber twenty-five miles distant from the smelting
works. Great labour is required to procure the coal.
The fuel for the calcining furnace is sage brush and
greasewood of the country, two years' supplY of
which, it is estimated, lies within a range of three
miles of the works. Five first-class teams are used
in procuring the fuel. The least part of the ex-
pense is the wood for the cupelling furnaces, only
from a half to three-fourths of a cord a day being
used to each furnace.

SUPPRESSION OF SCARLET FEVER.—LOIIOIOII 10
threatened with another autumnal epidemic of
scarlet fever. It is well, then, that the aid afforded bY
Sanitary Act of 1866 should be known to the public, and "-
put in force by the local authorities. Under former acts'
such as the Nuisances Removal Act, sect. 13, the magis-
trates had power to order the cleansing and disinfection °f
houses, and the emptying of infected houses of their inbid)
tants, and keeping themclosed till rendered fit for habits'
tion. Bnt the Sanitary Act, 1866, confers powers still mord
valuable. It provides for the disinfection of clothes an
bedding, which are quite as efficacious as houses for 018
retention of infection. It authorises local authorities to pro-
f
vide a place and apparatus for gratuitous disinfection 0f
the clothes and bedding of the parishioners. It authorises
the removal of sick persons from houses where thei 31.0

energy, ought to suppress, or at least to check, the eP
