Quartz Mill in England.

The Grass Valley Telegraph copies a
long article from an English paper, CIV
ing minute description of a quartz
mill recently erected at Fordham, near
Liverpool and the manner of crushing
quartz therein. They obtain quartz from
Virginia and Australia; that pays less
than an ounce and a half to the ton, and
make a good profit after deducting trans
portation and all other expenses, showing
pretty clearly that quartz mining is
not carried on in its most economical
form in this State. Their naodus operan-
di differs in only few particulars from
ours. The quartz is first subjected to a
strong heat to make it friable, by which
they save two shillings to the ton in
crushing 1t is then crushed by stamps,
and afterwards portion of it is again
subjected to an instense heat, for the
purpose Of separating from the gold any
metallic substance which might prevent
prefect amagamaton. This quartz is then
ground to an impalpabe powder by
machinery, probably similar to our aras-
tras. 1t is then prepared for the ANAL
gum, which appears to be distinct op-
Grafton. A wheel to which are attached
five hundred magnets revolves through
the pulverized quartz, detaching the par
tcles of iron and black sand. The quick
silver is used in much larger, quantities
than in our mills, and in heated state.
The cost Of crushing and retorting is
estimated at about 81 per ton. They
have worked some tailings from Califor-
MIA, from which they extracted 2 12 ozs.
to the ton. 1t is very likely their meth
cd may save their gold closer, though
it is evidently attended with more labor
than ours. The principle difference be-
tween their mode and ours seems to be
in heating the quartz before and after
crushing, in grinding after running through
the stamps, which is often done here,
and in applying the magnet and heat
ing the quicksilver; in fact the whole
process Of amagamatng appears to be
entirerely different from the method pur-
sued in this country. Quartz machinery
is undoubtedly very imperfect, and vast
improvements are looked for, and are
being made every day. The mill at
Fordham is probably superior to our
primitive methods.

Roll on We dark waves DER the troubled tide

When sorrows breakers around my heart shall
hide,
Still may find her sitting by my side.

TENHESE OILS are obtained by distllation at
IL the Chemical Laboratory, Parish of Jeffer-
son, of Pierre Lacour. author of Lacours Chemi-
cal Analysis, Lacour's Chemical Manipulations,
LacOur on the Manufacture of Liquors, &c.
Purchasers are particularly requested to return
the TASKS and obtain their money if the oils does
not give perfect satisfaction.
LACoURs OH OF CoGNAC converts neutral spirit
to a superior imitation of Imported Brandes viz:
Otard, Sazerac, Marett Cognac Paultney. Seie-
nette. United Vineyard Proprietors, Castilion and
London Lock Brandies. The liquors will have
full fruity flavor and beautiful. sparkling color.
Common Rcctfed Whiskey will be changed by
the use of the Oil of Cognac to New York Brandy,
Pine Apple Brandy, Common Cognac Brandy &c.
LACoUR's OIL OF RYE changes Rectifed Whiskey
to Monongahela Rye Whiskey, Old Virginia Malt
Whskey, Bourbon Whskey &c.
OIL OF CEDRAT changes common Rectilicd Whis-
key to Old Irish Malt Whiskey
OIL OF PEACH changes common Whskey to
Virginia Peach Brandy, DC. Oil of Peach and
Oil of Cognac will convert common Whiskey to
Apple Brandy.
OIL OF GIN converts the poorest Whiskey to
Holland Gin, Scheidam Schnaps Rose Gin. Swan
Gin, English Gin, &c.
LACoUR's CONCENTRATED ACID will in five hours
after being mixed, change five gallons of good
Vinegar and twenty-five gallons of water to thirty
gallons of the most acid Vinegar that can be found
in the market. By the use of Lacour's Concena
trated Acid, Vinegar can be made for one dollar
and sixty cents per barrel
For MAKING Liquors. Lacours Oils requires no
preparaton-only pour the oil into the whiskey
and shake we'll. The liquors thus made will have
fine natural aroma, full, rich, oily taste beau
titul transparent color and fine bead. Lacours
oils exert three distinct properties in converting
common whiskey to brandy. gin &c. The first
property combines with and subsidies in the form
of foculent particles the whole of the grain oil,
(Amylic Alcohol) The whiskey is thus deprv-
ed of that peculiar irritating and burning taste
and becomes neutral spirit; the second property
consists in an oily mucillanimous taste impaired
to the liquor, which renders it mellow, and impatrs
an appearance of great age; the third property is
exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor that is i'm
parted to the liquor, which renders distinction
from the genuine brands impossible.
These oils are put up in quart TASKS; each flask
contains sufficient oil for making three hundred
gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive drec.
tons accompany the bottles. Price So per bottle.
For sale at the corner of St. Charles and Poy-
drass streets.
One bottle of these oils, five in number, will be
securely packed and shipped, with bill of lading,
to any part of the country, upon the,reccipt of
$40, to the address of
P. LACOUR, New Orleans.
Purchasers are requested as guarantee of good
faith to furnish us the name Of any house in New
Orleans and we will ship them package of the
oils. If they do not perform all that is claimed
for them, they will cost nothing.-ly.

the Democracy of this State

laws, regulating pre-emptions, whereby the owner
of floating Mexican grant is enabled to prevent
the settlement of tract of land much larger
than he claims.
Resolved, That the rights of pre-emptions in
this State ought to be as liberal as obtained in
other new States, and these rights ought to be
secured to the settlers on all lands not actually
segregated as private property.
Resolved. That the policy of government which
is sought to be established by the present Chief
Magistrate of the United States is emineuty en-
titled to our most hearty and cordial appreciation
as truly Democratic, and calculated to secure the
promotion of the best interests of our common
country.
Resolved, That the Convention acknowledge
moral obligation to liquidate the existing debt of
the State of California, and that its payment is
hereby recommended.
Resolved, That political associations, whether
secret or otherwise based upon religious intoler-
ance, or exclusion from the exercise of political
privileges, guaranteed by the Constitution as it is,
on account of personal rank or the accident of
birth, are at once Inconsistent with the spirit Of
our institutions, and SANDER upon the liberty
loving and freedom disseminating people of the
Union.
Resolved, That we consider the present natura-
lization laws of the United States. in accordance
with free and liberal institutions, and will re-
sist their abIogaton or amendment, as uncalled
for illiberal and unjust
Resolved, That the Democracy of California
will ever support the Constitution and laws Of
their State and of the United States, and will
use their utmost endeavors to preserve as sacred
and invioate that priceless legacy of cur fathers
contained in the Bill of Rights and the writ of
ka6eas c0rpuS.
