Mr.. EDIsToR 1t seems to me that many
young freedmen of nineteen and twenty years
of age, are taking advantage Of the uncertainty
of their time of BIRTH and are registering as
voters. Cannot some steps be AIKEN to correct
this evil If the old Managers of Elections
would slit out such names at the different polls,
[ am sure the previous owners of the freedmen
would give them any needed assistance to find
out the correct ages ofal such and the Boards
of Registration would then correct the rolls.

that three or four hundred, at least, will regis

LIABuITY OF COMMON CAR
RIERS.

There is a contest continually going
on in the business world which has to
be settled again and again, and is not
settled then. II is in relation to the
liability of common carriers for losses
Of articles under their care. 1t was the
ancient law that a common carrier
should be held to the strictest account
ability. he is liable in all cases for the
value Of the goods which he carries, un-
less he can show a special exception.
In order to reduce this liability, trans
porters aud others have been in the
habit Of printing or their tickets, re-
ceipts and cheeks, statements to the
effect that they would not be liable for
losses beyond certain amounts. This,
it has been decided again and again,
amounts to nothing. It is all vanity
and vexation Of spirit, on the part of
transporters. Perhaps if they could
prove absolute contracts, entered into
with all formality, limiting their re-
sponsibility, they might have good pleas;
but putting on tickets, manifests and
freight receipts that there will be no
liability on the part of the transporscrs
in certain cases, really amounts to moth
ing, and the courts will hold that there
cas a liability, Notwithstanding. This
has been recently decided, in a case in
which an express company claimed that
it was not responsible for the value OF
a trunk beyond 500, because on the
ticket or receipt it was so printed. But
as the party who sends a package mus,
accept the receipt or nothing, and does
not know in what form it is drawn until
after he gets it, nothing but a heavy
strain upon common sense would justify
the allegation that such a one-sided cou-
triyance would be sufficient to make q
contract.

Orc Smelling Mt the Mon;czuma Mine,
Humboldt County.

ItumDOiut COunlys
From the recent annual report Of the
County Surveyor, and County Assessor
Of Humboldt county, we extract the fol-
lowing relative to the method of smelt-
ing ore at the Montczuma mine in Trim
ity District:
Tho Montezuma is the leading mine
Extent, two thousand feet strike, north
east and southwest 4; dips northwest at
an angle of As degrees lies in porphyry,
with we'll marked castings width, twelve
feet. The most remarkable feature Of
the mine is, that the whole of the vein,
from wall to wall, is pure ore, without
u trace of gangue. The ore consists Of
nm oxide of lead and on oxide of anti
mony as the leading minerals. These
carry the silver and yield an average of
SlO0 per ton by actual workings. Much
of the ore goes $500 per ton. Carbonite
of lead is found in small quantities.
The mine has been fully developed by
shafts and tunnels, and ut least ten
thousand tons Of ore are now exposed
in the galleries of the mine, from which
it is taken just as fast rs the company
is able to reduce it. The ore is reduced
by smelling, and yields fifty per cent. of
its weight in metal, in the form of an
alloy of lead, silver and anthony, i. e.,
a ton of ore gives q thousand pounds Of
metal.
The ore is reduced at the smelling
works Of the Trinity & Sacramento Co.,
at Oreana, three and q half miles south
of the mine. These works have been
erected during the past year, and are of
a character and capacity as yet un-
matched in this State. There are eight
furnaces-two for smelling, four for cal
ching, and two for cupelling. Tho
present run is fifteen tons per day, from
one smelling furnace. The first process
is smelling. The ore is broken to the
size of hens eggs, then placed on large
floors or pavement near the feeding
doors of the smelling furnace, in beds
Of about ten tons each; on the ore so
laid in the fuxcs arc then spread, which
are changed from time to time to cores
pond with the character Of the ore and
condition of the furnace. This furnace
is a cupola, twelve feet high between
the base and the feeding door, and
twenty-eight inches in diameter, with
q high chimney for draft. Charcoal
is the fuel used, and the fuxes
are few and simple. Six men, d.
vided into two shifts Of twelve
hours each, feed fifteen tons of ore
through one of these furnaces in twenty
four hours, exlusive of the fluxes and
fuel which they also handle. From the
smelling furnaces the metal-consisting
now of lead, silver and antimony-is
passed into the calcining department,
where the anthony is separated from
the lead and silver in large reyerberatory
furnaces, of which there nre four, each
of a capacity to receive thirteen tons of
metal at q charge, and TO work off from
TWENTY-FIVE to thirty tons at u heat; for,
after the first batch of metal begins to
its anthony, the charging is kept
up until the calcining pan is found to
be filled with only pure lead and silver:
When this stage is reached, the metal
is run of and sent to the refinery de,
Here the lead is separated
from the silver by cupellation in FUR
