THE HAGAN FURNACE.

The Hagan Furnace is ssid to provide
the most successful process for extract
ing gold from sulphurets that has ever
yet been tried, and if all the statements
concerning the remarkable results. OBJ
tanned by means of il are true, it may
yet completely revolutionizo the gold
mining interest by rendering valuable
an immense number of mines previously
considered of but little worth on ac-
count of the combination in which The
precious metal is found.
In Montana. fortunately. we have
dealings principally with free gold in
our quartz lodges, but still there are
some mines whose ores have high as
say value, but which have failed to be
profitably worked on account of the
presence of sulphurets. If the Hagan
furnace is all that il is claimed 80 be,
these mines will yet become source of
princely revenue to their owners The
process named has been and is now be-
ing tested in the mill of the Enterprise
Gold and Silver Mining Company, in
California. Although the ore worked
upon by this company was of the most
refractory character, and had served as
the basis for many an unsuccessful
chemical experiment, the Hagan Fur
mace process is said to have reduced it in
a highly acceptable manner and rem
dered it capable of amalgamation, Civ
ing returns four times as large as those
obtained by any other method of work
ing. and rendering valuable an ore
which would not pay for reduction by
any other process. We shall look with
interest for the result of future experi-
ments. for these new processes" have
so frequently deceived the people that
we are not inclined 70 be over credulous
concerning them

JUST SO.

In speaking of the recent election in
Colorado, the Gazette states that the
Republicans claim to have carried IL
by the throwing out of Democratic votes
''said to be informal" in Huerfano
county. but which it urges should have
beeen counted. Further on it says, "Be
the decision what it may, and admitting
Mr.. Belden's election by the majority
claimed-the result is virtually Demo
cratic majority" This last statement of
the Gazette is true as gospel. Mr.. Bel
den is the Democratic candidate, and
not the Republican nominee. as our
contemporary evidently supposes, and
his election, If admitted, which it is
not-would of course denote Demo
cratic victory" In that case it might
be an earnest of Democratic triumph
in the next election, that will leave no
room for contest" but as it is, with
Bradford, the Republican candidate.
chosen 10 Congress, the Earnest" is in
favor of just the other party. Surely
the Democratic press have a sorry time
ot il in attempting TO figure consolation
to themselves out of the recent cleo
tions- To extract sunshine from Gus
cumbers is an easy task, compared with
that which they have before them.

MIXED.

We have never seen as much confu-
sion among the press of the country as
has been exhibited during the present
campaign concerning the day of cleo
ton in the various States First we
were led to believe that California held
it's election early in September, and at
about that time every one was inquiring
for news from the Golden State, but
none came. for no voting had been done.
On the 9th inst. we surely expected
news from Nebraska, but we found that
the election, so extensively advertised
by our exchanges, failed to come off.
Yesterday, basing our opinion upon the
statements of the Washington ChrOnis
Gle, we looked upon as the election day
for Ohio. Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Iowa, while our cotemporary, the Ga
sette, excluded Iowa from the list and
put New Jersey in it's place, with the
assertion that the Democracy would,
without doubt, carry the latter State.
But now, while we await the returns,
comes the Missouri Democrat, excludes
both the Iowa, of the Posr. and the
New Jersey, of the Gazette, from the list
of October elections. and puts Nebraska
in the place of the elected members of
the Union. According to latest infor-
nation, therefore, the States which held
their election yesterday were Ohio.
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Nebraska

MASONIC.

Below we publish the proceedings OF
the Grand Lodge, which took place al
Virginia City, in connection with the
b presentation of fine jewel to the for.
mer Grand Master, L. w. Frary. They
will be interesting to our Masonic read
ers, and we regret that an unusual sup
ply of other matter prevented the pub
lication of the same with our Masonic
article of Saturday.
The following presentation speech by
Brother II. L. Hosmer, is one which re-
fleets great credit upon that erudIte gen
tleman, of whom the Fraternity may
well be proud and the response of
Brother Frary is such a gem as could
only emanate from a sterling member
of the Craft:
NJ. w. BROTHER L. w. FRAnY In be-
half nf the Masonic Brotherhood, and the
Grand Lodge of Montana, present you with
this testimonial of their favor and esteem.
They hope you will receive and wear it a
memento of their respect for your character
as man and your fidelity and devotion as a
Mason. They feel that under your safe and
careful guidance during the year now closed,
the cause of Masonry has progressed in this
TerritoryWnd that in you it had a truthful
expounder, whase life and conduct have not
brought 1t into reproach. It Is therefore a
real pleasure TO them to thus testify their
confidence In you as a man and n Mason.
You will accent this gift in the spirit in
which 1t is made and though il may not be
necessary for the purpose, yet it is the hope of
the Brethren that wherever your lot may be
east, or how wide soever the distance which
separates US, you may by this be reminded of
the year of service you rendered Grand
Master of Montana, and of the Brethren with
whom you were then and there associated.
You have their best wishes for your future
welfare and prosperity.
Brother Frary replied as follows:
BRETHREN: / accept, with grateful sensI-
bility, this beautiful token of your favor and
regard. 1t needed not this, to assure me of
your kindness, for of that, L had so many
marked demonstrations during the past year,
that must have been void of all gratitude,
not to have felt and appreciated tie heavy
obligations under which you have laid me.
But accept this jewel because it conveys TO
me In pleasing form, the strength of that
sentiment, which should ever exist between
Masous and their officers. 1t tells me In un-
mistakable language, that you believe 1 have
tried to do my duly, and the consciousness
that you indulge such a sentiment, is dearer
to me than any other public testimonial. 1
VIII strive 20 deserve tnat goou OplnlOns anu
TO see to it, that our honorable and noble IN
stitution shall never be dishonored in my life
and conduct Brethren, L thank you for your
kindness, and by presenting me with this tes-
tImonial, for putting it In my power at all
times to exhibit the evidence of your esteem
and favor.
In our future course through life, we may
become separated by distance, but wherever
my lot may be cast, shall ever cherish with
fondest recollections, the time we passed to-
gether in the bonds of Masonic affection and
in the mutual discharge OF Masonic duties,
In this new and promising Territory.

TO-DAY.

This is an eventful day in it's rela-
7 tions to the Presidential contest, for to-
day, four powerful States, representing
sixty eight electoral votes out of the
one hundred and fiity-nine necessary to
the choice of President, hold their State
elections. These States are Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana and Iowa, in all of
which the Republicans expect 10 obtain
majorities. The most doubtful of these
States is Pennsylvania. which gave a
Democratic majority of 922 at the last
State election in 1867, and where every
effort is being made 10y the means of
bogus naturalization papers and other
species OF fraud, to throw it into the
hands of the rebels. But despite these
devices of the opposition, If PennsyIva-
MIA shows the same ProPortionate Re-
publican gains as Vermont and Maine,
we shall carry the State by a majority
of 10000 votes. The Key Stone State
is. however, not regarded as key
stone in the arch of Republicanism in
the present contest, and we cun lose IL
in both the State aud Presidential elec-
ton, and still see Grant aud Coliax cho-
sen to the offices to which they are
nominated. If. however. pennsylvania
should, by any chance, 60 Republican,
tine result of the Presidential election is
8 foregone conclusion, and Seymour and
Blair may as well retire from the con
test.
OF the remaining States named, Ohio
is considered the most doubtful While
in 1865 this State gave a Republican
majority of 29,546, and in 1866 a major
ity for the same party of 42, ,G96, in 1867,
on total vote of Asa 227-the largest
ever polled-the Republican majority
was reduced to 1888 Should this re-
duction continue at the same rate. the
State is hopelessly lost; but, on the
other hand, should our party make
gains similar to those in Vermont and
Maine, we shall carry Ohio 10y tina:
10000 majority which is predicted by
the Republican press Of that Stale.
Indiana and Iowa are considered as
certain for Republicanism. At its last
State election in 1866, the former gave
a Republican majority of 14,2O2 aud in
the latter State, majority OF 51,yJ9
was obtained for the same party in
1867.
Should any three of the four States
which hold their elections today give
majorities. we may conclude
that the success of Grant and Colfax
is assured. or should Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania cast their votes in favor of Res
publicanism, we may come to the same
Should this not be the
case, we must base hopes for future sue
c IS on such doubtful States as New
York, Connecticut, Oregon, Florida,
Louisiana and California. We believe
tl,at the result of to-days elections will
be such that we shall not be compelled ,
TO have recourse to this last resort.
