The AhG in its "Talk on Change" has
the following: as.... "a 81 rn ~
Silver miners are inquiring whether it is
not possible to devise some plan by which
two or three men, with capital of 81, 000
can manage to open mine and pulverize
and reduce quarter or half ton of ore pei
day, BY their unassisted labor. In many
instances the lodes are thin, and do no,
yield enough to employ large mill and
even if there were enough ore, still the dis.
coVerers have not the means to pay for 6
mill, and the mines must either remain I'M
developed or the discoveries must give
away a large part Of it to obtain mill
which is not erected until after a long
delay, and after erection, will probably
not be we'll managed.
The miners now want some machine
cheap, light, and capable of being worked
by one or two men, to pulverize the lar
gest quantity Of ore possible with thu
power. Two machines are competing fol
this demand. One is a mill Of three
seventy-pound stamps, weighing in al
500 pounds, and worth $500 OF $500
The other one is Hinkle's Grinder
weighing about It's pounds, and worth
S75. Two of the three-stamp mills art
at work near Aurora, and according to re.
port, one man in twelve hours will pull.
verize from 300 to 1000 pounds of ore, in
proportion to its hardness. Several o.
Hlnkle's Grinders are in use, and repor
speaks favorably of them. Time and
practice must decide their respective
merits. Hinkle's Grinder takes ore crush.
ed to the size of wheat, and grinds
it fine, and amalgamates at the SAINT
time. The ore may be pounded tc
the requisite fneness by stamps, OIL
crushed in a crusher which weighs 9OC
pounds, and costs 5000. If the ore i:
pulverized fine, in a battery, any ordinary
pan can be used for amalgamation. Some
miners hope for great benefits from the in.

regard as putting silver mining on leve

Tobacco has been one Of the grand
sources of government income in Europe
for many years. We have heretofore
shown the curious fsctt the abandon
ment by the people Of the use of tobacco
would be the financial ruin Of powerful
nations, unless they could find substi-
tute for the production of revenue. The
temporal power of the Pope is absolutely
supported to-day on tobacco smoke and
snuff. 1t, is1a curious statement, but
literally true. It becomes our Legislators,
therefore, to give peculiar care to the ex-
animation Of this subject, and act wisely;
so as not to throw away the advantages

suRnr md Corn.

The public will be interested to learn
that the claim of Prof. Guessing IA Ger
man chemist, residing, we believe, at Gin
cinnati,) to the discovery of q new process
whereby crystalized sugar can be made
from corn starch, is about to be put to o
practical test. 1t was said that the Pro-
fessor had succeeded by this process in
obtaining three and half or four gallons
of beautiful white syrup from bushel Of
corn; and had,at last solved the problem
which has heretofore puzzled the chemists
all over the world, by discovering me-
thod of turning this syrup into granulated
sugar, similar to the product of the cain.
The production of the syrup is doubtless
true, although we may be little skept-
cal in regard to the quantity said to be
obtained from bushel Of corn. This sy-
rup is beautifully white, and can be used
even in tea without datkening the infu-
sion. Moreover, the process is said to be
so simple that it may be carried on in
small way in the kitchen Of any farm.
house, with only the ordinary household
utensils. If this system can be crystal
lied like the saccharine matter from cane,
then the whole world may well be called
upon to rejoice over the discovery. A
company of wealthy gentlemen in this city
have purchased the secret, we understand,
for $500, 1000, and having taken the steps
to obtain patent, propose to erect fac
tory to test its usefulness. We have also
been told, although we have not the
means at hand to verify the information,
that an old process is on record for max
ing syrup from potato starch, which is
very similar to the discovery above no.
ticed. The whole question is one of great
interest, and will excite much public at
tention. s... ..... tf..La. saH
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser,
which has heard something about Prof.
Crossings patent, is very much elated.
The editor says Of the New York refners
who have taken hold Of it: .....
They propose to enter at once upon the
manufacture of syrup and sugar from corn
by the new process, upon a large scale,
and to introduce its manufacture through
out the country as fast as expedient. Ex-
periments have already succeeded in the
production of at least three and half gal
Ions of syrup from bushel Of corn, and
of quality which is pronounced by the
most critical judges to be equal in every
respect to the best syrups heretofore pro-
duced at the New York re6neries, from SUI
gar cane. An equivalent amount Of
granulated, first quality, sugar is also
claimed can be produced, but we under
stand that for the present the company
will confne its efforts to the production Of
syrup. Active preparations are being
made, however, to enter upon the exclu-
siye manufacture Of sugar, and 1t is ex-
pected that the company win be prepared
to put the new staple into the market du-
ring the present winter. a,sg.a
