LITTLE Devil QUARTZ CRusuER mas
chine for crushing and grinding quartz has
just been invented and put 10 operation in
this town, that bids fair to be the thing so
long needed by our miners-a simple and ef
tectlve quartz crusher, within the reach Of
men of moderate means. This crusher and
grinder does not weigh over one ton: 1t
will crush and grind as fine as is usually
done five tons of quartz in twenty four hours
by actual test. The quartz to be fed is to be
broken up to the size of an egg. Three
horse power is sufficient to run it. The ma,
chine can be set up in perfect running order
by two men in one day. The machine can
be seen at the steam carpenter shop of Mr..
llarter, in this place.
The inventor, MIR. Stephen Kendall is a
practical miner, as well as the inventor Of
several improvements in maches for working
iron.
The quaint name was suggested by the
exclamation of by stander, "How the little
devil does crush, and indeed it seems to be
somewhat appropriate, as it will be most use.

anxious to dupe, others into the belief that
Lincoln is inclined to quarrel with France,

in Mexico. Can it he that their editors are
norant that the organ of the French Gov

the Emperor had been armed by the Ameri-

fact, Lincoln by two years or more of silence
has arqulesced in all done by Napoleon in
the matter Of establishing a monarchy in
Mexico. No word Of remonstrance has
ever been uttered or published BY Lincoln:

into the belief that Lincoln is opposed to
monarchy in Mexico or anywhere else
