about $4,000 pounds. It took nearly an
hour to fill the tank. after which two re-

filled, and a little after o'clock they were

main tank to the mold, by which the liquid
metal ran to the courses which conveyed it

the mold. AT 2f O'Clock the huge cranes
were swung with the builing cauldrons and

Improvement In Amalgamating Gold.

. A correspondent of the Walla Wal.a
Statesman saws.
Every person who has used quick ksiiyer n
any OF the different anal gamatlng machines.
has noticed and probably been perplexed by
the tendency of that netal when aritated in
connection with sard or crushed rock To sep.
arate into minute globules. and in that state
to be carried off with the tailinss''-carry.
in. with Them no small proportion Of the
precious metal. Another difficulty is its ten
dency to oxydize when allowed by the baser
metals, by which the surface is tarnished
and the amalganating power much reduced.
third difficulty is experienced when the
particles of gold are coated with oxydes of
iron and other metals, thereby preventing
contact of the two metals.
Ii l 2O,000th part of sodium be added to
the mercury, this 4" sickening'' and fl ur.

effect is in the reduction of these, if added
in the right quantity. If the sodium be add
ed in excess, the anna gam will attack latter
this operation) and reduce the ores of the
baser metals, and with them form amalcam.
The mercury then becomes coated with the
baser metals, and its action upon gold and
silver greatly reduced In the case of arcen.
ical ores, the anal gam formed by the excess
OF sodium floats on the surface of the mercu-
~, and prevents the gold from coming in
contact with it. 1t results, then. that only
sufficient sodium should he added To reduce
any mineralzed mercury. and keep it in an
efficient state. The quantity added. and The
duration of its effect. viii! vary with different
kinds of ore treated, as it is well known that
some minerals foul the mercury much more
| quickly than others.
This is subject of much importance to
both placer and quartz miners, and trust

The CHOLERA MANAGEABLE.-In commu-
ncaiion to the Board of Health of New York,
DR.. Saver treats cholera as a manageable
disease, whose progress can be checked by
the taking of very simple precautions, while
any community can easily proect itself
igainst the introduction of the plague. He
declares it to be portable, not Infectious, but
Is communicated mainly by the excavations
OF persons infected with the disorder Thus,
to quote an extract:
"A person infected with the cholera diarr
hoea may leave the seeds of the plague in a
iozen places TN his route of travel. Al d vet
recover himself. Every privy used thus be.
comes an agency for infecIine all who visit
1t. This explanation accounts for chole a
always keeping along lines of travel first. and
its remarkable fatality in crowded and filthy
localities, as well as in large establishments.
where the water closets are used by many
persons. It also explains why it never trav-
els any faster than human being can. and
also why it is that it sometimes passes over
large sections OF country to break out in an.
parently remote localities"
"f' (says the N. Y. WORLDLY this is the
correct theory If the spread of the disease, it
Is at once robbed Of nearly all its terrurs |;
because cleanliness and care are all that are
needed TO prevent its pr r,bagation. The case
II the Atlanta shows that quarantine is Vt.
hcaclous, if rigidly enforced"

Copperhcnd Military Heroes.

We notice TINT II certain committee
appointed by the late Rebel Convention
at Clarksbusg, contained two or three
very conspicuous military heroes,
namely, II. N. Muckey, ID. T. Hewes,
and J. c. Lininger.
MNclley conducted himself so homo
rably rs an officer in tho United States
service, that he was allowed TO return
home pretty early in the war.
AewCs was man of very poor health,
although of an immensely VnlorOus
turn of mind. The chief symptom of
his constitutional disease was II peculiar
disgust for the smell of gunpowder and
an unconQucrnblc aversion to the
hideous sound of missiles. He manag-
cd to remain (nominllly) in tho army
for upwards of two years; but his
natural intirmitics deprived the coun-
try of his valuable services on the bat
tle-ticld. Unfortunately, he never had
the privilege of leading his regiment in
an actual conflict with the foe. We
congratulate the brave Colonel that he
is so far restored TO health rs 10 meet in
political council the men whom he was
too iniirm to meet i'll the field.
Liningcr -- we'll, we refer his case
to "Old Citizen" who seems posted on
his record.-Vcdctte.

4 dav or two since IL leading Demo-
cratic politician OF this city had II con-
vcrsa:ion with II prominent citizen Of
the Union persuasion, in which the
Democrat took occasion TO make some
little suggestions by way of ovcrturcs.
In the course of the conversation, our
Union friend expressed some apprchen-
sion about the future of the finances in
this country, whereupon he was dclibcr-
atelS assured by his Democratic friend,
that the Democratic party if il got into
power would relieve the country from
all financial difficulties by population
of the national debt. The declaration
was II deliberate one and was made by
II man who knew what he was talking
about.
There is food for reflection in facts
like this. If there is any man in this
city or State in favor of repudiating the
national debt, he ought to be sure
he is registered in time TO
vote with this democratic party. If he
is in favor maintaining the Govern
ment and the honor of the country, he

y man who votes with party that

Ineut by reputation. may be pretty
sure he is voting to assume the debt in

1.-THE country is going 10 stop the PEN
Sions OF the MANNED heroes who lost
limbs in defending it, there is no prin-
ciple thatican stop short of giving pen
sionS 10 crippled rebels.
Such degree of impudcnce may lead
some TO entirely disregard all such
declarations as that quoted, rs mere
gascouade: but we have the best rea-
sons TO believe that the purpose of repu-
diaiiou is deliberately entertained by
the party which in this State calls itself
conservative" Here they are for re-
pudiatiug the national debt, for repu-
dating the State of West Virginia, for
assuming the debt of the confederacy
ana the rebel debt of Virginia. and in
general for extolling and clarifying trea-
son, and bringing everything honora-
BILE and loyal into disrepute. The at
tempt will fail, and hereafter it will be
counted infamous, and all who abet it
will be branded like Cain.
