ANOTHER DEsULPHURIzER.

A late communication from r. o. Old, one
Of the pioneer miners Of Colorado, now in
England, gives very minute description Of
an invention lately patented there, Of fur
mace for desulphurization Of gold and silver
ores The principle involved in the furnace
is, that after the ore has been carefully con-
centrated and crushed, il is slowly but con-
tinuoasly sifted through sort Of hopper or
feed box, on its top, 50 that every particle in
passing through the same is 50 exposed TO a
heat OF the requisite degree for desulphuriza-
ton, that the metals are completely liberated
from the sulphur The furnace is vertical
chamber, constructed Of fire brick, fitting in
which are q series 81 horizontal bars or bar
rels, also Of fire brick, angular shaped, with
the base Of their angles turned upward. These
are for the purpose Of intercepting and dis
trbuting the crushed ore, as discharged from
the feed box, in which the supply is regular
ly maintained in the passage Of the same.
By the turning Of the bars fiat edge up, the
powdered quartz collects in heated, but dis
all the barr successfully, ike golden showers,
falling through some fifteen or twenty feet Of
space, which, having filed up, assume a dia-
mond shape, and which the nature and prin-
ciple upon which the furnace is constructed
renders necessary ore is collected below,
thoroughly desulphurized and drawn out
through CRATE or hole in the bottom. ar
ranged for that purpose. But what is most
curious about the furnace at first sight, and
that which gives and adds materially 10 its
value is that when first started 10 operating.
it only then, and not afterwards needs fuel,
the sulphur in the ores being sufficient 10
supply all demands for combustion, and the
keeping up Of continuous heat ever after, 50
long as there is supply Of ore, whether for
a few hours only, or for years. These fur
naees are extensively used at Swanzea, Eng
land for desulphurizing Cornish and CHILEAN
copper ores, aud the writer believes them es-
peeially adapted TO the working Of sulphu-
reted gold on the Pacific coast

HON. JOHN NJ. GOODWIN.

Mr.. GooDwIS, our Delegate in Congress up
to the 4th Of March, inst, has been very ac-
tive IN behalf OF the Territory during the late
session Of Congress. On the l4th Of January
he introduced bill in the House providing
for the donation Of two quarter sections Of
land 70 the town Of Prescott, which was re-
ferred 70 the proper Committee.
He also introduced bill for giving lands to
the Arizona Central Road Company, and to
the i6haVe and Prescott Toll Road Company
for maintaining stations, &c. which was read
the second time and referred.
On the I'D Of Jan. Mr. Goodwin presented
bill 10 aid the construction Of the railroad
and telegraph lines from the Gulf Of Mexico
TO the Pacific coast, which was twice read
and ordered printed.
He presented the memorial Of our last lie.
gislatiye Assembly relative 70 the southern
Pacific railroad, which was also ordered prin,
ted, and referred. The memorial asking for
change Of the organic act Of Arizona was
referred to the Committee on Territories.
Mr.. Goodwin also presented memorial
asking for the repeal Of the law giving part

ter was referred TO the Committee on Terri.
tories, after printing.
The asking for the establishment Of new
mail routes in our Territory was referred to
the Committee on the Post Office and Post
Roads.
Whether final action was had upon all the
measures alluded 90, before the close Of the
las; session, is yet unknown here.
Gov Goodwin certainly appears 20 mani
fest deep interest in our country, and We
believe those who know him best will accord
him the character Of faithful and conn ctent
representative fthe true wants Of our strug-

"THE GUARDIAN" Is the name Of week

the first number Of the Guardian. dated
February 10th, is before US, and presents q

while its contents, both original and selected
bear evidence Of editorial ability, judgment
and taste. Mr.. Hamilton appears as owner,
Publisher and editor, and his experience in
public life. his entire familiarity with South
ern California, no less than his editorial ca.
paeity, well fit him to provide an excellent
paper. We consider it particularly fortunate
that he has a personal acquaintance with
Arizona, inagmuch as the relations Of San
Benardino and our Territory are intimate
and important, and the Guardian must 10 a
certain extent represent our interests, as we
believe II will intelligently and in the best
spirit.
The GUARDIAN will not be political pa
per, which we think wise decision, but en-
tirely independent. and it certainly has a
wide field for usefulness.
San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties
are among the best in the State of California.

and in all that makes fine agricultural and
horticultural country, they excel, and we

INDIAN SCOUTS.

BY section six Of the act 20 Increase and
fix the military peace establishment Of the
United States, approved July %, 1906, or
what is commonly called the new army bill,
il is provided that the residents may enlist
and employ in the Territories and Indian
country force Of Indians, not TO exceed one
thousand, TO act as scouts. They are TO re-
cieve the pay and allowance Ct cavalry sol
dieis, aud to be discharged whenever the ne
cessity for their further employment is aba
ted, or at the discretion Of the Department
commander.
We learn that in the distribution Of these
scouts Arizona is TO have ninety nine (99)
and that they will, by order Of Gen. Nc
Doweli, be taken chiefly from the Pimas,
Maricopas and Pspagocs. Gen. Gregg is au-
thorised TO enlist nine (9) and will probably
take them from the Mohave or Wallapais.
These scouts may be made very servicea-
bic, and we wonder that under the ample au-
thority TO employ scouts and guides hitherto
given officers in this Territory, more Of the
Indians have not been used. On the old
principle Of putting a rogue to catch a rogue
we should think it excellent policy to set In
dian after Indian, if not TO fight, at least to
track
We shall expect good service from the
ninety redskins, and, from General Nc
Dowell's confidence in them, they will be
sure Of permanent engagement. The nav
Of cavalry soldiers will keep them in funds.
and doubtless make them exceedingly happy.
Yet we think; - We did Of the late enlist
me-. q the Pimas and Maricopas as volun-
teers, that equal service might be secured
from them if the Government provided a
fund wherewith to employ them when need
ed, rather than to muster them in as soldiers,
and that in the end the cost would be far less

FROM ORANGE COUNTY.
A Ride from the Railroad to the

FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, IND, !
fffrte June 18th, 1867. (

RENCH LICK SPRINGS, IND,
affs rte June 10Th, 1867.
Editors Jou nal:
Every name is presumed to have
some Significance, and there is no
doubt in my mind that this county
was given the name Of Orange on ac-
count of its shape. But shall not
give my experience from the railroad
to this place, for fear of lettering some
timid invalid from coming; and what
/ have said need not do so, for by the
time you have received the cordial
welcome of DIR. Ryan, lessee, and Mr..
Adams, proprietor, and disposed of
the excellent supper set for you, you
have forgotten all about the ride from
the Shoals. y
At four o'clock yesterday evening
we stepped from the train at Shoals,
on the o. & NJ. Railroad, and in fifteen
minutes were on our way, and as the
last rays of the setting sun were tint
ing the tops of the trees on the sur
rounding hills with a golden yellow,
we came in sight of this famous and
popular resort for invalids and pleas
ure seekers.
The scene for the last mile of
the road is splendid. Nature has
been lavish of her gifts, and there is
Just enough of art to polish its rough
ness. We crossed Lost River four
times. There, too, the name is appro-
pirate. It is supposed to have been
hunting White River blindfolded.
From its crooked course, it evidently
became disguised with some thing, for
it suddenly disappeared in hole and
has never been heard of since-that
is, the head did; the tail is here yet,
but it will soon follow the head and
pull the hole In after it. s9
The air was cool and pleasant as we
rode along; and it may have been
imaginary, but | thought it the purest
and most invigorating that [ ever

had seen the gentleman's name
figuring in the proceedings of an
Episcopal Diocesan Convention re-
Gently, and could but wonder if
Bishop Smith had granted him dis
pensation to be SO disingenuous du-
ring this canvass. My curiosity did
not diminish when he exclaimed that
the Democratic party was for the Con-
stitution and had its basis on the
principles enunciated in that glorious
instrument, and that the Constitution
of the United States had the same re-
lationship to the Democratic party as
the Bible had to the Church.
He said, however, that the third
party had as much patriotism as him
self, an equivocal compliment. OF
such is our next State Government to
be composed, and yet the vile prospect
does not in the least arouse the le-
thargic Republicanism Of the State.
We are, perhaps, powerless to pre-
vent the consummation of that pros
pect, but l am grateful that the Con-
gress of the United States will not
touch, taste, or handle the unclean
thing, treason, but it has the power to
exclude it from its halls, and will
do it.
| am, therefore, glad to state that
Capt. Smith intends to invoke that
power by contesting the election of
John Young Brown. He relies upon
various grounds, but the main one,
and the only one which / should urge,
is that Brown was a rebel, and conse-
quently ineligible. / hope the House
will act ON the matter at once, and
and give Capt. Smith an opportunity
to assist in repeating Mr.. Stanberry's
obnoxious legislation.

Hewlett, of Princeton, candidates for
the Legislature, to hold the Conven-
ton, but after they had consulted
with each other for about two hours,

that they were all afraid to go into

crowd had dispersed, with the excep-
ton OF about six. who we're too drunk

standing is now, that each man will
call convention of his own, and get
the nomination. j. III. Leach, the
candidate for the Senate, has been a
regular standing candidate in this
county for the last ten years; first on
the Wing ticket, then on the Know
Nothing. now on the rebel; and the
probability is that he will still be a
candidate until he shall be called to
render an account of his stewardship
here, which l am afraid will not be
very favorable. All 1 know about
Bradley is this: in his speech at this
place he said, 'sWhen Col. Foster
came into my (Bradley's) town that he
had the Stars and stripes at the head
of his column, and sent squad of his
greasy harelings to arrest me before

In the last Legislature; and right
there he has the advantage of any
other man that ever was in the Legis-
lature, for all of them leave
something behind that their opponents
can use against them; but Hewlett
was too sharp for that-he had an
idea of going back again. He took
his seat in the Legislature, and |
suppose he set there all the time, as [
never heard of him afterwards; but l
think Hewlett will be beat, although
he has not left his opponent any rec
ord of his acts to defeat him with;
but he missed it in this. He did not
have the sand in his craw to join the
rebel army, like his opponent had.
He was just as good Reb. as any of
them, but he did't join the army, for
the want Of nerUe; while Stone, the
man that is running against him, did
join it, and left one leg with the
Yanks to remember him, by which is
all the recommendation a man needs
in this county for an Office.
