Patent Bronze Metal Sheathing |!
MANUFACTURED BY THE
Ne,U Bedford Copper. Co.

IN the manufacture of Yellow Metal Sheathiug. it
has been the universal practice hitherto as IL still
Is with other manufacturers. to mmerse the Sheets
after all rolling Is done, in an acid BATH The effect
sought and obtained by this process is to give the
metal the fine yellow color to which it its dis
tinctive name. '-el1rt
But this effect is, of necessity attended by results
Injurious to the metal The hard and highly polish
ed surface formed on the sheets by successive heat
ing and cooling and the action OF the rolls, is
moved and surface left in its stead-bright indeed
but rough, pimpled and unequally corroded and con-
siderably softer than the surface removed.
No one can doubt that any given sheet of sheath
ing metal must be better with hard, smooth sur
face than with softer and rougher surface.
This improvement in the art of sheathng ships has
been secured by Letters Patent OF the United States
to the New Bedford Copper Company.
The composition of this metal Is exactly the same
as that OF the yellow Muntz metal the sole differ
ence being in the surface finish. 1t is believed that
this is very important and will add months to the
wear of the metal.
The Bronze Metal is sold at the same price as Yell

SrSouLARR RECOVERY OF STOLEN VoucH-
ERs.-An exchange gives the particulars
of a case alluded to in u dispatches re-
Gently. Some days since a coat was sto-
len from the establishment OF a Leading
firm in one branch of mercantile business
in San Francisco. The garment itself was
of little value, but in it was pocket-boo
containing vouchers in the shape OF notes,
certificates Of deposit, receipts for United
states bonds deposited in bank. etc., etc.,
TO the extent of $4,000 There was also
a lis. of accounts and other documents,
without which il would have been almost
impossible TO straighten the business OF the
house. All efforts at discovering the thief
were unavailing. and the merchant was
compelled to give notice OF the loss 70 his
bankers and other parties with whom he
had dealings, stopping the payment OF the
vouchers in case they were offered. On
Friday last, officer Tarbett, Of the Harbor
Police, went into a saloon on PACING
street, kept by a woman, and seeing a coat
hanging behind the bar, casually inquired
as TO the ownship. He was told that II
had been pawned there for the drinks, and,
through force OF habit, as much as any
thing else perhaps, took it down and wen
broneh the pockets. Judge OF his sur

Oa6ce, and then for the first time Learned

.;,cpmstances, is a singular one.

Chile is decidedly in the wrong; it has
brought the same on itself. When Spain
was at war with Peru, two years ago,
Chile, as a neutral, allowed armed expe-
ditious to leave its territories to aid the
Peruvians, and would not permit the
Spanish ships to take in coal in Chilean
ports, the Spanish flag torn down and
other insults offered ; pride and arrogance
would not permit the Chilean Government
to salute the Spanish flag as an apology
for these wrongs-conseqsently, the war
followed.
To Judge from present appearances the
war between the Republics and Spain Will
be continued for an indefinite period,
neither party being willing to make the
slightest sacrifice to effect a peace. Inc
Republics must come out losers in the
end, us they are not able to cope with
Spain, as weak as she is. Spain has Ger
tainly no sympathizers here, but that
these naughty races deserve q severe cor
rection every foreign resident comedies.

from Omaha to Julesburg, and the old
poles reset. The wire is now up as far as
Cottonwood, 100 miles east Of Jalesburg,

poles east from Salt Lake. Another will
start from Denver soon to meet them
Wire and insulators are on the way out
From here to Fort Bridger the old line

cross arms will be used to accommodate
two wires. From Laramie TO J~ulesburg
