bound to decide it against him.

KELSO.—ANGLING IN THE TWEED AND TEVIOT.—Tho
s2ort of angling has been pursued during the last week
with varied success. On several of the days the sport was
indifferent, owing in a measure to the clearness of the
water. In the streams, however; several large fish have
been captured ; and on Monday last, where there was a
good breeze On the rivers,' the sport was exceedingly good.
fu the Sproutson lower water, Mr. Longhorn killed four
fish on Monday, some of them of heavy weight; and the
Rev. Mr. Hill Scott captured two salmon. On Thursday
and Friday, four salmon were caught in the Sproutson
water, two of them weighing 231 b. and 241 b. respectively.

IMPORTANT RESULTS FROM A NEW
MINING PROCESS.

According to our promise last week, under the
heading of " New York Markets," we propose to
describe the new process by which the waste under
the old system of " wet" crushing the quartz in gold
mining is avoided. For the last six or seven years
experiments have been made without ceasing to dis-
cover the very best means of extracting the precious
metals. It was well known that the rock of the
Josephine and Pine Tree Mines of the Mariposa
estate in California did not; yield under the "wet"
crushing process and the workings of ordinary quartz
mills over $6 per ton, although the assays gave a
much larger result.

Accordingly the necessary works were erected
and the same fully tested. The result of working
15 tons of the ordinary rock of the Pine Tree Mine
—quartz full of the rinest gold, of which tons and
tons have been floated off into the Merced River,
from the inability of the process in vogue to retain
—was submitted to the new method. Under ordi-
nary workings the yield was scarcely over an average
of $6. The result of the present new system
made a return of $32 per ton on the first week's
run, which is au excess of over $2O per ton in
favour of the new process. The rock is dry
crushed, and afterwards submitted to the action of
balls in a drum to insure full pulverisation, it being de-
sirable that the powder should approach as near itvZ::
flour as possible. A charge of this powdered quartz
