WORKING sULPHURErs.

\ correspondent Of the 41q, writing from
Suffer Creek, Cal. has the following:
"Nothing that have seen IN my trip has
interested me more than the sulphuret works
twelve miles east Of jackson. Here sulphu
rets are purchased, and are worked by a pro.
cess known only 10 the proprietor, German
named Thoss. Sulphurets are reduced else
where by COLONIZATION, at cost Of sos at least
per ton, but all the silveris lost, and roasting
is necessary as preliminary; whereas Thoss
does not roast, saves all the silver, and says
be can catch ninety per cent. OF the gold, at
cost Of s. per ton. | look with suspicion
at all new and ecret processes, and inquired
Of intelligent miners at Suffer Creek, Yo'ca-
no and Pinegrove. who have had business
with this sulphuret mill. and all spoke we'll Of
H. Nr McLane, of the -irocco mine. said he
paid $50 per ton for working sulphurets, and
bad received 4 return Of $40 per ton. No
one seems to have any idea Of tie nature Of
the process. The sulphurets are ground in an
arastra, which any body can use, and are
then discharged into a small, lose, dark
chamber beneath, to which nobody save the
proprietor has access. Much Of the ore near
Pinegrove and Volcano is very rich in sulphu
rets, so there Is abundant business there for
mill Of this kind.
Faith in chlorination is, however, not ex-
tinct. The largest chlorination works in the
state have lately been erected by Coney &
Bigelow (the latter Of Bigelow 4 Brothers,

very rich in sulphurets, yielding five per cent
Of them, with S200per ton. The furnace has
a capacity 10 roast three tons in twenty-four
hours. There are two hearths, one over the
other and ton and half is kept in each
hearth. After roasting twelve hours the
lower hearth is discharged, the contents Of
the upper are let down 10 the lower, and the
upper receives new charge, and so on. The

rell, Esq. had inst started when | was in
I Jackson"
! From this and other items anoat in Califor-
MIA papers, and in all the mining journals, we
think our people have no reason to doubt the
successful working Of our sulphurets and re.
fraetory ores. Have patience and all will
come out right, We haze the sulphurets In
abundance, and the question Of their profia-
bic reduction is simply one OF time, and we
think not a long time.
