REDUCTION OF AURrFERoUs QUARTz.-The
following from the London Mining journal,
will be interesting to many of our readers:
"We have had an opportunity, during the
week. of visiting the laboratory of the Royal
Panopticon Of Science and Art, to witness
some experiments by Mr.. Harris. of Dolgelly,
assisted by Mr.. Ansell, the professional che
mist of the institution, for the economical ex-
traction of gold from its matrix. The pro-
cess is, we believe, modification of an old
German method, aided by the extensive ex-
perience and important chemical discoveries
of modern times. The ore is from the Chan
cellorsville Mine in Virginia, a quartz deep
ly covered with the red oxyd of iron this
is first calcined, and reduced to an impalpa-
bic powder, which is then placed in glass
retort immersed in cistern of water. kept
up to boiling temperature this is connected
by glass tubes, with generator, in which
chlorine of gas is produced by the decom-
position of the black oxyd of manganese act
ed upon by hydrochloric acid. This gas pass
es through, and thoroughly saturating every
particle of the gold dust, hitherto invisible.
converts the same into a soluble chloride of
gold. The sand is then we'll washed, the
chloride consequently dissolved, and stream
carburretted hydrogen being passed through
out the solution, precipitates the metallic
gold in the form of deep purple powder
In one portion of the apparatus particle of
leaf gold was placed in a glass tube, to show
the effects of chlorine on metallic gold. and
which was rapidly acted upon by it, being
converted into beauti-green chloride, lining
the inside Of the tube like web The pro-
cess is expected so be very economical on a
large scale"

which yielded this enormous sum, are in Dry

another lot of rock crushed at the Gold Hill
Mill, which gave fully as remarkable a yield
as the first lot. In the present instance lit

yielded ST ,6OO-or about $500 to the ton |!

SINGULAR DIsCovERY.-The North Caiifor-
nian published at Oroville, on The Feather
River, says that a party of men started out
from that place few days since, 10 prospect
in the vicinity of the we'll known Table
Mountain, near that place. The results of
their explorations were of q somewhat sin
gular nature, and are thus described by that
paper:
'In crossing Table Mountain they observed
that in many places the ground seemed hol-
low, and in one place, on striking upon the
ground with sledge, the echo was given
back with such distinctness that led them to
lieve that there would be little difficulty in
breaking through. Having procured proper
implements, they set to work. After going
the depth of four feet one of the party who
was using crow bar, was seen suddenly to
fall upon his face; upon examination hole
was found about four inches wide, through
which the bar had slipped and sunk into the
bowels of the mountain. The aperture was
Immediately enlarged, but it was found that
owing to brittleness of the rock, it was ex-
ceedingly dangerous working around it. The
parties have taken up three thousand feet
around the hole, and are busy getting wind
lasses, &C., to prospect it further. We are
told that on Mondey they will be ready to
commence operations"
We shall watch for further -eports from the
explorers. .....

The CaIifornia stage Company.

The enterprise of this company has be-
come proverbial. There is scarcely miring
camp of any considerable Importance in the
State where the coaches of this Company do
not penetrate. They are not only the first
to put coaches upon the roads to new To-
calities, but they have also actually con-
strueted hundreds of miles of roads in vari-
GUS parts of the State in order to re ach those
localities. We have recently heard of new
and characteristic enterprise undertaken by
this Company-whieh is no less than the con-
struction of stage road across the Sierra
Nevada. While the State government has
been talking and legislating over this matter
for the last eighteen months, without coming
to any practical result, this Company has
taken hold of the matter and evinced deter
mination to put the road through independ-
ent and alone, before the arrival of the next
emigration from the East. The Town Talk,
speaking Of this enterprise says;
I'VE have it from the most unidentified a.
thority that the California Stage Gonpaly
will pos on line of stages 50 Carson aeiss,
connecting direct with a8nIc ,.ae ecaisssl
Dorado to Sacramento. The stock u oil
ready to be transferred TO the route. The
want OF a good road over the Sierra noun
taius will be no obstacle whatever to them.
The coaches will be put on, the road con-
structed. and the Legislature need give itself
no further trouble in discussing the constitu-
tionality of such work on the part of the
State"
The State ought to be proud of the exis-
tence of such Company within her borders,
and should cherish it as most deserving in
stitution. This Company has become one of
the failures as well as features of California.
