35O TONs OF CLEAR ICE,
QUAETZ MINERS ATTENTION /
nR. BEERS WOULD CALL PARTIC-
~ ulur attention TO his improved
AMALGAMATORS.

For Gold or Silver Ores, which are claimed to pos
the following advantages over all others now in
use, viz.
1st. They equally adapted to the amalgama
ton of Ores, either Wet or Dry crushed
I'd. Being Self feeding and Sefdischarging, they
require but little attention; being sufficient
to attend thirty more.
Sd. During the process of amagamation they
reduce the ore to an almost impalpable powder, 10
close contact with large surface of mercury, but
do not grind the mercury.
4th. II is claimed for them, and demonstrated
that they will save from 25 to 100 per cent. more
gold than any other amalgamator now in use.
The Amalgamating Pans are put in sets Of three.
dschargng into each other three OF which sets
are capable of thoroughly ANAL ganIatng at least ten
tons of gold per day, and with slight addition
are equally ada pied to the amalgamatiOn OF Silver
Ores by any OF the old or new processes.
The Pans are about four feet ia diameter. and
supplied with false, perforated OF CRATE bottom
upon which the grinding is done, which allows the
gold as as united with the mercury, TO settle
beneath the CRATE, and, remain as safe as If under
lock and key.
In cleaning up the pans and separating the ANAL
gam but one tenth of the usual labor is required.
The parts most exposed to wear made of hard
iron. and easily replaced at triAng cost.
All orders for these malgamators can be sent to
PETER D0NAHUE on FIRST street, San Francisco, at
whose Foundry they can be seen in operation.
For further particulars, inquire of the Patentee.

POPULATION AND APPoRTIoNMENT. The
Legislature isnow engaged in figuring up
the white population of the State as the
basis for the Legislative apportionment.
There Is clause in the State Constitution
which requires the apportionment to be
made on the basis Of the white popula tion,
which of course win exclude all the negroes,
Chinese and Indians. 1t appears that in
the northern counties the census agents
properly classified the different races, but
this was not done in the southern counties,
and we presume the Legislature will make
such deductions as are deemed reasonable.
We believe the entire Indian population
was counted in the lower counties, and if
this is the case II may account for the large
population 10 that section as compared
with the vote at the last election. The de-
duction of the colored races 10 the northern
counties reduces the representative popula-
tiou to S,579, which will be reduced still
lower by the estimates for the southern
counties. 1t appears that the white popu-
lation of Nevada is 1926.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-16

PONr NEws.-The telegraphic news re-
ceived by Pony, published in another COL
una, Is rather Of the sensation character,
much of which was no doubt put aGoat for
effect But even after making reasonable
deductions for sensation dispatches, it
would appear that there is imminent dan
ger Of collision. 1t appears that another
vessel has been fred at in Charleston har-
hor, but no particulars are given, and we
have no intelligence as to whether the yes.
eel was In the employ OF the Government.
Fort Pickens, II seems, is to be held at oil
hazards, and reinforced if necessary. We
had q report some, days ago that Spain bad
fitted out large feet for the Gulf Mexico,
and the report now is that she intends to
seize San Domingo, and perhaps Hayti, and
that our Government is preparing to resist
the seizure. The next Pony will probably
bring more definite Intelligence relative to
these rumoFs.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-16


this coast is discredited in some quarters.
The reported seizure of New Mexico is
not confirmed, aud is doubted by many.
The average bids for the new Govern
ment loan are 93I.
Some Of the Southern treasury notes are
reported sold at 20 per cent. premium.

The San Antonio Herald gives the fol-
lowing list of property delivered up by
Gen. Twiggs to the Texas authorities;
"180O mules, valued at $50 each, $780,
900; 500 wagons, valued at $40 each, $780,.
900 3; $50 horses, valued at $3.50 each, $l42,-
500; 500 harness. valued at $50 each. $751;
900 /; worth of tools, wagon materials. iron.

commissary stores, $4,000; ordinance
stores, $500, ,000-total, ST. 1879 500, exclu.
sive of public buildings, to which the fed
eral government has q title. Much of the
above property is estimated at the original
cost, its value here being much greater !;
being worth to the State at least million
and half of dollars. The eight artillery
guns allowed the companies were valued
at eight thousand dollars"
Later accounts from Texas state that
large portion of this property, including
the mules aud horses, had been stolen and
carried off by the parties who had it in
charge.

CALIFORNIA APPOETMENTs.-Th reported
appointment of Rankin aud others, as an
neunccd in the telegraphic news, to Federal
Offices in this State, we presume is correct.
Rankin is an cid Republican, and the ap-
pelatment win be acceptible to his party
generally. Stevens, the now Superinten-
dent Of the Mint, has been "sOnDd and re-
liable Democrat" of the Buchanan school,
aud will undoubtedly support Lincoln's ad-
ainlaIration as zealOusly as he supported

NEVADA TERRITORY'-The citizens Of Ne
vada Territory are discussing questions rel
ative 10 the location Of capital, the d.
vision of the Territory into counties, and
other matters pertaining to the organization
of their Government The Silver Age thinks
the first Legislature should not divide the
Territory into more than three counties, oil
of which, for the present, could be thrown
into one, in order to avoid the expense of
supporting numerous county officials, with
merely nominal duties. The Age says:
Our country is entirely undeveloped, and the
wisest legislator that the world ever produ ced,
could form no idea from most perfect knowl-
edge Of the present condition of things, what
will be the wants, or where will be the center of
population, one year from to-day. Even now,
Esmeralda presents rival claims to Virginia,
Gold Hill and Silver City, on the one hand,
whilst on the other, the Humboldt country must
not be overlooked as a section out Of the con-
test, as there is reasonable possibility, that
within two years, her agricultural and mineral
resources will attract a population holding the
balance of power.
There is also the Pyramid Lake country, that
must sooner or later become the inheritance of
the white race, and in all probability, the rail
road depot for this section of the country, be-
tween the Humboldt and Sierra Nevada noun
tains. The valley Of Pyramid Lake, with her
mild climate, rich soil and supposed mineral
wealth, cannot be other than an important point
with as good claim for the seat Of government
as any place now claiming it, ON mere numer-
ical strength. New discoveries are daily being
made in different sections Of the Territory, each
of which works its change, and materially alters
the relative importance, strength and rights Of
established settlements. Let us then make our
organization as simple as possible, and in our
advance be guided by the developments Of the
is but one way to do this; ignore local interests,
and elect men to orepresent us in the Legislature,
whose interests are with the whole country,
whose scope of vision is not bounded by city
limits or township lines.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-16

Our GOLD FIEIDs.-The New York Tri-
bune, 10 a late number, while referring to
the New Almaden case, says:
We trust the United States will, at an early
day, sell out their mining lands in California,
making adequate provision for the equitable
rights of persons in possession, and apply the
proceeds sacredly to the construction of the Cal
ifornia section Of the Pacific Railroad. Webe-
lieve such disposal of them would subserve
the interests alike of land owners, miners, the
State, and her whole people, while giving an
impetus to the great enterprise Of our age.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-16

INDIAN BATTLE.-A correspondent of the
Union, writing from Silver city, April 18th,
says: "The Pah Utahs and Shoshones had
an engagement last week, near the Sink of

completely routed, and lost several killed,
causing their squaws to wall greatly over
their loss"

New Mail Routes.

Mr. Bradley, the Postmaster at this place,
received letters yesterday from the depart
ment at Washington, making inquiries rel
ative to the route between Carson City aud
Nevada. BY these letters, it appears that a
bill was passed by Congress on the 9th of
February, establishing post route from
Carson City, in Utah, to Nevada, with a
branch route from Jackson's ranch to Down
ieville, and another from Lake City, CAR
nold's Rancb) to North San Juan. The in
quiries were made with the view of obtain
ing information that would enable the De-
partmeDt to advertise for proposals for car
rying the mails upon the several routes.
We do not doubt that such representa-
tions will be forwarded as will induce the
Department to advertise for proposals to
carry the mail daily. Then, by establish
ing distributing Office at Carson City, the
overland mails will reach all the northern
portions of the State at least two days ear
lier than by the Placerville route, while the
citizens of Sierra, Plumas, and perhaps
some other counties, will receive their mail
matter four or five days earlier.
We alluded in our last issue 10 the neces-
sity of branch mail from Carson or Vir-
gi1ia City to Nevada, for the benefit Of the
northern portion of the State, but at the
time were not aware that the ronta had
been established by Congress.
