The supply of currency is increasing, and
with a moderate demand for money an
easier tone in the Money Market will be
felt. Rates of interest remain at 10 to II
per cent. for good bills to regular custom

can readily be obtained.
New York Exchange is in good demand
at usual rates. The supply is about equal
to the demand.
Gold opened at the New York morning
board to-day at 1897 and closed at 1895
The market is weak, and decline in
prices is anticipated. Sterling Exchange,
which to some extent influences the Gold
Market, is quoted at 1881, being below the
par value. This puts a stop to the export
of specie for the present. Our dealers
paid for gold l46 to l47, and 1873 for silver.

These Priest Rapid Indians belong to no reg

ImnrovementIfn AmalgamatInlg Cold.

Ep1roR STATESMAN 81 wish through the me-
dium of your columns to address few words TO
the mining community upon the above subject
Every person who has used quicksilver in any
of the different amalgamating machines, has no.
ticed aud probably been perplexed by the tend
ency ofthAt metal when agitated in connection
with sand or crushed rock to separate into min
ute globales and in that state to be carried of
with the 4ttailings' carrying with them no
small proportion Of the precious metal Anoth-
er difficulty is its tendency to oxydize when al
loved by the baser metals, by which the surface
is tarnished and the'smalgamating power much
reduced A third difficulty is experienced when
the particles of gold are coated with oxydes of
iron and other metals, thereby preventing con-
tact of the two metals.
If I-20, ,000th part Of sodium be added TO the
mercury, this Hsickening" and "fouring," as
they are sometimes termed by miners, will be
prevented. The ordinary affinity of mercury for
gold is greatly increased and the amalgamation,
instead of being comparatively slow, will be in
Simultaneous. FIGURED mercury willimmedately
run together on the addition of the sodium.
As this Touring and sickening is supposed to
be due to the formation of the protoxide and the
sulphuret of mercury, its beneficial effect is in
the reduction of these, if added in the right
quantity. If the sodium be added in excess the
amalgam will attack (aftef this operation) and
reduce the ores of the baser metals and with
them form analgam, The mercury then becomes
coated with the bsser metals, and itsa sactiSn upon
gold and silver greatly reduced. In the case of
arscenical ores, the amalgam formed by the ex-
cess of sodium, floats on the surface of the ner-
curry, aud prevents the gold from coming ipeon-
tact with it. It results then, that only sufcieht
sodium should be added 10 reduce any mineral
lied mercury, and keep il in an efficient state.
The quantity added, and the duration of its eff
feet, will vary with different 'nds Of ore treat

the mercury much more quickly than others.
This Mr. Editor, is a subject Of much import
ancc to both placer and quartz miners, and
trust that you will call the attention of your Ex-
changes in Idaho and Montana to it.
Sodium may be procured by heating the COM
mon carbonate of soda in a covered crucible to a
red heat and retorting it with charcoal in ves-
sci containing naptha, (kerosine will answer as
a substitute) it oxydizes instantly if placed in
contact with water, and gradually, in the air;
and consequently must be kept, covered by nap
tina or its substitute.

TowY Lors.--The recent act of the Legisla-
:ure, and ordinances of the City, by which set
tiers are enabled to secure Warranty Deeds for
their premises on payment of a nominal sum,
promises to prove not only satisfactory but highly
beneficial to our city AID citizens. The City
Surveyor is kept quite busy surveying claims
and establishing boundaries, and We learn from
the CITY CLERK, that in the more closely built
business portion of Main street but few men
know exactly how much they own, Or where
their lines are, as scarcely single quit claim
deed has been received in his Office which clearly
defined the limits and boundaries of the premi-
ses intended to be conveyed, while many of them
are compelled to relinquish their claim for cer-
tain portions Of the number of feet claimed in
their conveyances, and content themselves with
what their houses stand on. spirit of fairness
and compromise is the only course to take in
such cases, and the establishment Of actnal
lines and settlement of title must necessarily
render property more valuable, while the money
received by the city will materially aid in pay
ing its Indebtedness, aud thus diminish taxation.

VIOLATING TIE INTERNAL REVENUE LAVA
very large amount of general merchandise has
been seized at Helena, Montana Territory, on the
charge of having been offered for sale without
the duties required by the internal revenue law
having been paid. Great excitement was occa-
stoned by the seizure, and the merchants of
Helena had held several meetings fertile pur-
pose of protesting against the action of the
Government officials. Money was to be raised,
and an agent dispatched to Washington for the
purpose of securing the removal of the Offend
ing Collector. The following is list of the
goods seized:

SENATOR NEsMITH's PosITIoN.-WO have al
ready stated that Senator Nesmith fully and hear
tily maintains the Presidents reconstruction
policy. In this connection the Oregon Statesman
gives the following extract from letter written
by Senator Nesmith, and dated Dec. 10. The
Senator says:
t'You have read the Presidents Message. How
do you like it? | think it the most admirable
paper of the kind ever read-perfectly adapted
to the condition of our affairs. / shall stand by
ard give it and its author mysbearty and cordial
support. His policy, in my opinion, is such as
to commend itself to every honest man and pa
triot who desires to see our country restored to
tranquility under a great, homogeneous, and
prosperous government.
''The question of negro suffrage is one with
which Congress- has properly nothing to do in
the States, and they only can regulate it. shall
vote for the admission of members from the late
rebel States regardless of the action of their
States upon that question If they will repeal
or nullify their secession ordinances, repudiate
their war debt, abolish slavery, and send loyal
members to Congress, in Gods namewhat more
can one ask
~ would not vote for negro suffrage In Ore
gon, and will not insist upon doing it within
their States. There are, however, some radical
people here who absorbed with the single
idea of elevating the negro, which is all swell
enough in its way, but it is not the mostimport-
ant question which now affects the nation.
81 want to see first of all, perfect peace re-
stored, our financial condition improved, and
our national credit upon a sound basis, by rea-
son of a reduction in the public debit our in
ternal resources more fully developed and our
commerce reinstated. When thai is done, aud
even in the meantime, l am willing to de all
that reason and justice demand to ameliorate
the condition of the African race. l canhot be-
lieve, however, that it is noO the paramount quss-
tiOn which demands all of our energies to the
exclusion of everything else.
