improvements an Quarts Machinery.


One Leopold Nolf writes communication
10 the PhGre, French newspaper publiihed at
San Francisco, in which he announces that he
has discovered method o: separating gold and
other metals from quartz, by the employment
Of electricity, and by process SO cheap as to
render It wonderfully remunerative. The pro-
cess, II is stated, is completed in from twenty
to twenty-five minutes, and is performed with
out amalganation, simply by an electro chemi-
cal operation. Some quartz tailings, from
which all the gold was extracted that could be
by the ordinary method, BY Mr.. Nolf's process
were made to yield in twenty-five minutes a
sufhsiency Of the precious metal to be prOnoun-
ced every rich" by quartz miners. Mr.. Nolf
promises further revelations concerning his in.
vention.
II is proper to give every invention and i'm
provement in quartz mining fair trial, but
experienced quartz miners will have little faith
in any discovery which proposes to extract gold
from quartz except by the ordinary process of
crushing the rock. The process of extracting
gold from the rock by means of electricity is
not new idea. A paragraph went the rounds
of the papers some three or four years ago, to
the effect that process had been discovered by
which copper could be extracted from the ore
by electricity, and at 80 cheap rate that it
was confidently predicted copper would soon be
worth no more than cent pound. But the
process, when put to the practical test, was
found to be more expensive than the ordinary
method and such would undoubtedly be the
ease with Mr.. Nolrs process when tried on q
large scale.
Quartz miners are generally confident that
improvements will yet be made in quartz ma
chinery, by which the expense of crushing the
rock will be lessened. Many leads have been
prospected in every quartz locality, which at
present lack dollar or two ton Of paying ex-
penses These leads, although not considered
Of much value now, are still held by the own
ers, under the impression that the cost of
crushing will eventually be cheapened. Leads
Of ordinnry size, yielding from ten to twelve
dollars ton, if favorably situated for quarry
ing, will pay for working-the cost Of crush
ing being from four to six dollars ton. But
there are hundreds of leads yielding only eight
or ten dollars ton, and if an Improvement
could be made in the machinery which would
lessen the expense Of crushing one or two dol
lars ton, so that such leads would pay for
working, it would give renewed impulse to
the business, and open new sources of industry
to the enterprising miner.

TIE BRICK CoNrRAcr.-Several papers have
Animadverted rather severely on the award by
the Navy Agent Of the brick contract to Mr..
Mcpherson, at $ll,9O per thousand, while the
State authorities offered to furnish the amount
required by the Government at Sl1. From the
San Francisco Herald we learn that eight bids
were received, and that seven Of the bids were
accompanied by samples of brick, The bids
ranged all the way from $1,000 to SIS per
thousand. The sample furnished by the State
and one other were pronounced "bad," four
samples were "good," and the sample furnish
cd by Mr.. Mcpherson was pronounced the "best
brick" 1t seems that the brick manufactured
ct the State Prison did not answer the descrip-
tion called for by the contract, and the samples
which were pronounced "good" were all at
higher rate than the bid of Mcpherson. One
bid was made ct $ll,5O, but being unaccompa-
MED by sample was not entertained by the
Navy Agent

MECHANICAL CoMPosIToR-Mr Alden, prac-
tical printer, of New York. has recently inven-
ted type-setting and distributing machine.
The New York Herald says it is great inveu-
tion, but will never come into universal use. It
might be used to advantage on book work and
weekly papers, but would rather retard than
facilitate the work in the ONCE Of daily psper.
The great advantage Of this machine, is that it
distributes the type as fast as they are set, or,
in other words, it keeps the cases full oil the
time. 1t is calculated to do about the SAND
amount Of work in six hours that a compositoE
will do in ten hours, no time being lost in dis.
tributing. The cost of the machines, which ID
about fifteen hundred dollars each, will bar
their coming into general use in the Offices Oi
weekly newspapers. There is one other advan-
tage it has, which even printers themselves will
hail with joy--it distributes pi after being sci
up with the same facility it does ordinary read
ing matter.

FROM TUE NoRTH.-The steamer Northerner
arrived at San Francisco last Saturday, from
Victoria, which place she left on the 2lst inst.
The Northerner brought down about 225 pas
sengers, $50 in coin, and $22O6 in dust.
Many persons were brought down at merely
nominal rates. At Whatcom every thing is
dead. The Northern Light newspaper has been
suspended for want of patronage, and Bausman
the editor returned a passenger on the steamer.
The mining news is unfavorable. But little
gold can be found, and the river is still high.
General destitution is said to prevail through.
out the Fraser river country.

DIVORCED SIX TIMEs-BUT NOT sINGLE.-There
is young man in San Francisco, who has a
room upon Clay street, the tenderness of whose
heart is only equaled by the tenderness of his
head. One evening last week he was just 60
ing into nis apartment when be was stopped by
his landlady, who very kindly invited him to
dinner, stating as reason for so doing, that
she wished to introduce him to a lady who had
six times, passed through the mysteries of q
divorce suit. He went down stairs, took seat
at the table. and was introduced to the lady.
She was beauty, and Snifty was conquered.
He cent for bottle of wine; poured glass-ful
and drank it, Some one slyly filled his glass
again, and he tossed of another bumper. Sniff
ty commenced to feel jolly. The heroine of
divorces asked him to see her home. OF course
he would; of course he did. He took her arm !;
felt the soft palpitaton of her form walked
with her through several streets. and-delrum
of happiness was allowed to take q seat beside
her OH sofa in her drawing-room. His dream
unfortunately didn't last very long. While he
was engaged in passonately declaring his
love. the door opened and a gentleman with big
whskers and a ferecious moustachc entered.
1t was the lady's sevenh husband. Snifty went
home in such condition that his best friends
wouldn't have known him.-S. r. Spirit Of the
Times.

ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.-Mr. A. J. Taylor, pro-
prietOr of a pistol gallery at San Francisco,
was accidentally shot, last Friday, end died al
most instantly. Mr.. John Travis, friend of
Taylor, was examining some pistols with view
Of purchasing. He picked up revolver which
happened to be loaded, without being aware Of
the fact, and snapped it, when it went off, and
the ball entered Taylor's face, just below the
right nostril, and lodged in the brain. He died
in two or three minutes. Taylor has resided
in San Francisco since 1850, and was possessed
of considerable property. He was widely
known in sporting circles by the 'O6riquet Of
Matches" and loaded the pistols In the late
duel between Ferguson and johnson. He was
formerly from Mississippi, and about forty-nve
years Of age.

TELEGRAPH PRorHECY.-Professo Morse, the
inventor of the magnetic telegraph, in letter
dated August 10th, 1s43, to Hon. J. q. Spencer.
then Secretary Of the Treasury, made the fol-
lowing prediction:
"The practical inference from this law is that
q telegrapho communication on the electro
magnetic plan may, with certainty, be estab-
lished across the Atlantic ocean Startling as
this may now seem, 1 am confident the time
will come when this project will be realized"
This prediction was no douDt regarded at
that time as the dream of an enthusiast; but
the project was realized in just fifteen years,
and what is better, the prophet lived to witness
the fulfilment of his prophecy.

y MURDER AT FORREST HILI.-Another murder
has been added to the list Of bloody doings at
Forrest Hill. The Yankee Jims Courier Of
Thursday, says:
On Saturday night at Forrest Hill, while the
Cheno population were celebrating the inde-
pendence of Chile one of their number, a des-
perado named Domingo got into dispute with
one of the party, and deliberately stabbed him
in the left breast, cutting the mans heart CON-
pletely in two. Domingo then left through the
back Of the house, and made his escape He
was Immediately followed, but up TO the time of
our going 10 preSs had eluded all pursuit In
mediately after the murder was committed, two
others came to high words, when both drew
pistols, which were simultaneously fired off,
wounding two others in the room-one mortal.

The COMET must be approaching the earth at
. rapid rate, az it is nightly becoming more
brilliant The nucleus is now apparently lar
ger than any Of the fixed stars, except the Dog
Star, and the tail measures about fifteen de-
grees in the heavens. The approach Of this
comet was predicted by BONNIE, q German as
tronomer, and it was seen by the aid of tele-
scopes from the Paris observatory, in the latter
part Of July. and was subsequently, discovered
from the Cambridge observatory. When first
seen IL was estimated to be two hundred mil
lions of miles from the sun, which is about
twice the distance of the sun from the earth.

DISTRESSING CAsUALTY.-On Wednesday of
last week. a child aged l3 years, daughter of
DR.. Heyden of Santa Clara, was burned so bad
ly that she died on the next day The Tele
graph says: 1T seems that number of little
girls. oil younger than the deceased, were at
the Doctors house on visit. and went down
into the orchard to enjoy themselves-there
they kindled fire and prepared to have chill
drens tea party under the trees. While busy
about the FIRE, the skirt of the dress of Eliza
Ann ignited, and instantly her person was en-
veloped in fames-t the distracted girl ran with
all her strength to the house and jumped into a
tub of water"

SICKNESS IN PLACER CoUNTY.-The Auburn
Prcss says that almost everybody living west of
fever or chills and fever or more or less affect
ed by the miasmc poison generated and float
ing around in that locality. The cause Of this
unusual sickness is generally chargeablc to the
reservoirs Of the several bitches. They are
filled with sedementary water, which spreads
over a large plain during the day, exposing q
great surface of wet vegetable decaying matter
to the sun as the water is drawn down. This is
q most unfortunate fact. as without reservoirs
the country cannot be mined-and sickness de-
stroys the ability to labor. What can be done
to remedy the evil?

SAN JUAN AND vIcnuTY.-From the Hydraulic
Press Of Saturday, we gather the following
items
THE mines about town are yielding better
than ever. Last week the Deadman Company
cleaned up 7,49o, as the result of their weeks
washing. loves Company made from SIX days
washing the respectable sum Of $4,S2s. These
two claims are paying better than others on San
Juan hill chiefly for the reason that they are
working on the bottom, have their tunnels CON-
pleted, and can thus command the entire depth
Of the bank.
The miners at Columbia Hill just at this time,
are mostly employed in preparing for the ad-
vent Of the rainy season. The diggings there
are of the deep hydraulic character. Three
companies only are washing, and those are ma
king excellent wages. The miners will be in
better condition to improve the wet season this
fall than ever before.
On Tuesday morning, while Mr.. Jno. H. Ef-
finger was washing in The "Deadman Cut" a
small piece of earth fell and broke his leg. ma
king comminuted fracture below the knee.
He is under she care of DR.. G.. w. Noble, who
set the limb, and thinks it can be saved.
A miner whose name we could not learn,
while working in shaft at Manzanita, had
his left hand, which happened to be lying on a
rock, struck by falling stone and badly crush
ed Three fingers were stripped of their liga-
ments to the bone, and the little finger so much
torn and broken that amputation was neces-
sary.
On Thursday night last, a gang Of robbers
went the rounds os the China cabins at Free
mans Crossing, and msde the inmates "shell
out" oil the money they haG in their possession
in all amounting to about $400. The China
men say there were Eve white men, and all
were armed with pistols and knives, and two
of them had rifles Irf
The Chinese were having a regular Fourth
of July celebration at San Juan, last week.
A meeting was to have been held at the Lii
brary Room, last Saturday evening, to get up
a demonstration to celebrate the laying Of the
Atlantic cable.

WOMAN SHoT.-On Sunday evening last, at
Murphy's, Calaveras county, Plattena, Mexi-
can who had recently ended term in the State
Prison, for making bogus gold dust, shot a wo-
man, Sonora Ruez, with whom be was living.
Three shots were fired, one of them passing
through her right thigh and lodging against
her left thigh bone. The assassin stood In the
kitchen and fred while she was sitting at sup
per with her two brothers. 1t is thought he
wished to kill them also. as he had quarreled
with all three. The woman is not mortally
wounded. Plattena made good his escape.

HoRsE THIEVES IN CALAvERAs.-A corrsepon-

Horse THIEVES IN CALAvERAs.-A corrsepon-
den! of the Chronicle, writing from Jenny Lind,
Calaveras county, says that for two or three
months past, that portion Of the county has suf-
fered greatly from the depredations of an or
organized band Of horse and cattle thieves.
There is hardly an owner of live stock in th at
vicinity. who has not lost from one to ten head
of valuable cattle or horses, and in no case has
any one discovered his stolen property. The
vigilance of the people has been exercised to no
purpose, and it would really be great blessing
to the community, if the leaders in this nefa-
rious practice were brought to punishment.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-09-29

SENTENCED FOR LTFE.-John Keller, who was
convicted in Sacramento, last week, of the mur-
der of Henry A. Bush, was sentenced on Friday
by Judge Bolts, to Imprisonment in the State
Prison for the remainder of his natural life.
On hearing the sentence, the prisoner burst in
to tears and was painfully moved.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-A man named Williams.
risiding at Novato, Marin county, having be-
come tired of life, ATTEMPTED suicide, September
goth, by cutting his throat. He succeeded.
says the Petaluma Journal, in making an ugly
looking wound, cutting deep into the windpipe.
and severing several ligaments and appendages
Of the neck, but missing the artery. DR.. Tai
iaferro, of San Rafael, was called to attend to
the case, and expresses his belief that the man
will recover. Williams ATTEMPTED to take his
life few days previous. with q gun.
