silver; occasionally native silver is
found. Combined with the ore are sui
phurets in small quantities of iron, load,
anthony, copper, etc. The silver has
gold also associated with it. Tho ores
are treated by simple crushing and
matchmaking. The great instrument
for amalgamatiug is the pan, OF which
there are several kinds in use. 1t is
generally q cast.iron vessel 2 feet deep
and from 2 to Z feet in diameter. A
shaft rises through it, turned by steam
or water, and to it are fastened pieces
of iron, which are made to run over
the movable iron bottom and grind the
pulp. Some have chambers at the bot
tom for steam, to keep the pulp at a
temperature of 200 degrees. Into the
pan is put a quantity of ore with salt,
iron pyrites, quicksilver and enough
water to mako mud.
"The great object Of the muller, or
grinder, in to grind thoroughly the ma
terial and to bring all the particles in
contact with tho quicksilver. Tho pan
is worked about three hours and u half,
and then water is run into the pulp to
render it liquid enough to flow oil
through a valve in the bottom, into the
{ agitator' or { SEPARATOR as it flows oil
or runs over, it forms a genuine silver
mud, in which the traveller has the sat-
isfactiou of wading for the first time in
his life. In the separator, pulp is
mixed with . large quantity OF water,
and by IN arrangement of ~discharging
openings, is gradually strained and re-
lieved Of its earthly particles, until moth
ing but pyritcs and liquid amalgam are
left. Tho amslgam is drawn oil from
tho bottom, and is washed in clear
water and dried with flannel. 1t is
finally strained through thick conical
bags of canvas, which arc beaten with
sticks to drain them thoroughly. The
hard dry amalgam is finally carried to
the assay Office, where the mercury is
separated by exposing it to red heat in
o cast-iron cylindrical retort. The mer-
curry is yaporized, and then condensed
by q stream Of cold water in Liebig-
condenser. Tho silver remaining is
broken up and melted in plumbago cru
cibles and cast into bricks or ingots
of silver, which arc assaycd, valued
and marked accordingly"

The lNPEAcHNESr.-The Carson Ap-
peal, of this morning, contains the fol-
lowing lively I" shot" at Andrew John
son, (late President Of this great coun-
try:)
"Poor Andy! Jus, like Buckncr and Joe
Johnston and Pcmberton and Lee, he got In
vested, besieged and hemmed in by Grants
noiseless strategy, just as everything looked
as If the General had put his foot in a trap
and Ny Policy" were to crush Grant and
Congress by one fell swoop. And now he
founders and stumblcs and maunders about
like a lost mule-al adrift. But we don't be-
lieyc he can make up his mind to resign. IT'S
against nature! There is too much old
fashioned Democracy about him for that.
Office holders ofthat faith, we know, seldom
die and nerer resign" This threatened pc.
litical suicide is all CANNON. Andrew will
live to be "worked of" as ungraccfully as
Dennis the Hangman."

MINING ENTERPRIsEs.-The construc
ton of the Palmyra Tail Sluice, now in
progress at G%rcenhorn Canon, in Nevada
county, at the expense of n San Fran
cisco Company, reminds us Of another
work of the same sort which, though it
might be less promising ms an invest.
ment, is holder in its conception, and
would be far moro costly in its exccu-
ton, though the Palmyra enterprise is
the most extensive of the kind in the
State. Bear river, ut Dutch Flat and
for several miles above, receives such
IN immense mass Of gravel from the
hydraulic claims in the vicinity that the
bed has been filled seventy feet deep,
and in some places q hundred yards or
more across. Parallel with this stream,
and in one place only three miles dis
tant, is the North Fork Of the American,
which, instead of being on the same
level, has cut 900 feet deeper into the
mountains. A difference Of nearly n
fifth of o mile in perpendicular elevation
between two large parallel streams but
three miles apart may appear almost in
credible to persons who have lived only
on plains, but their experience is not a
precise ~ Of facts in the noun
tains. There are numerous canons two
thousand or three thousand feet deep,
and q difference Of one thousand feet is
q small matter comparatively in some
places. The difference ut Dutch Flat
offers an opportunity to wash out the
bed of Bear river. A tunnel eleven
feet wide and eight feet high could be
cut, according to the calculation Of in
telligent miners, five miles below Dutch
Flat for $40 per foot, making the total
cost of the work about Scot, 900. The
yield would no doubt be very large, but
the question Of the amount Of profit is
one upon which nobody wishes to give
IN opinion. It is q common belief that
tho york will be done.-S. F. Alta.

WHAT Is A CAUCUS FOR ?-The Riverside
Echo, the organ of the Good Tempars of
Maine, is discussing the caucus question:
Here are its conclusions:
The notion, that if we take part in caucus,
we are thus bound by its nominations, is a
fallacy. 1t is more-it is an outrage upon
common sense. 1t is a confusion of moral
ideas. 1t deserves the sternest rebuke, and
should be held in the utmost contempt. The
idea that because we tail to accomplish good
end, we must necessarily pursue bad end, is
simply absurd. 1t will not stand for a mo
ment. Let it be understood that we intend to
act consistently in voting for candidates at
the caucus, and for nominees after selection
and much is thus effected towards securing
our purposes
The purpose of caucus, as we understand
1t, is to agree upon a course of policy or can
ddate. tits meeting of mer who, agreeing
on some leading question, consent to leave all
minor matters to the decision of a majority
Ii defeats the very pulp pose of consultation il
no agreement is to be reached. What is the
use OF voting, if after the votes are counted
you are just where you were before? Why is
an election binding? Why not declare it a
sin to be governed by bad or incapable men,
and rise in rebellion when such men are elect
ed? Because anarchy is worse than the tenn
porary occupancy of office by bad men. Be-
cause on the whole, it is better to wait until
the minority grows to be majority And
what is true of community is true of party.
1t is better TO work together and abide by the
peaceful decision Of the ballot than to dis
band and surrender. OF course these consd-
erations apply only to men who agree upon
the main question and agree IN considering it
the main question; but to them we apprehend
they viii appear 10 be the plain dictates of
common sense without the slightest trace of
"moral confusion"
