The "Thunderbolt Crusher is constructed up
on an entirely new priIciple, which enables II TO
crush and pulyerize ores and other minerals by a
single process, viz II IS provided with two jaws
or plates, which working upon different centres,
not only crush, but also attain maximum OF at
triton. These jaws are massively constructed,
and are furnished with massive plates Of chilled
iron which can be easily replaced at small cost.
They,will admit bOulders Of fifty pounds weight,
and can be graduated as occasion requires This
machine Is easily driven by an engine Of fifteen
horse power, and their Iightness, and facility Of
transportation render them far more economical
than any machinery now I'm use for reducing
quartz. Large orders for this crusher have al
ready been executed for well established mining
companies, and the company have contracts With
responsible machinists 10 construct without delay,
sufficient, II Is hoped, for the large demand. Par

How TO BE AGREEABLE IN A PRINTING Or
FicE.-Resder, il you wish to make yourself
very agreeable in a printing office, step into
the sanctum first. If the editor is writing or
proof-reading, take a seat along side of him,
and tell him how you started in business.
about your dog, your horse, your wife and
baby, or II you can remember your boyhood's
sports. Should the editor manifest a dispo-
sition to be inattentiye 10 your story. stick
to It and go through with it, Should one Of
the cOmpositors or the devilr step up and
ask for copy whether the proof is read, or
if either is done, you should, by all means
ask what the article is about, and insist on
seeing il. OF course the editor will read il
for you, and profit by your opinion as 20 its
fitness to go into the columns Of the paper
After thus entertaining the editor, step into
the composing room and ask each one Of the
hands as many questions as TO the cases, let
tiers, &c. as may be agreeable to yourself Then
begin to whistle. All printers are fond of
wiiistling. Give them at least three or four
jigs. Then sing Milwaukee" and Ham
Fat Man. Before leaving the office, you
should take hold Of the hand press, give it
pull and let it fly back, just to see how it
works. Don't forget 10 squirt tobacco juice
on the "devirs" feet, or to examine every
thing in the shape OF matter on the stone.
even il you do knock some Of il into pi-that
will only put the patience Of the printers 10
fair test On leaving the office be sure to
promise another visit at an early day, and our
word FOR il, You win be held in q fond remem-
brancen for long time.
