TnALA OF QUIcKsnyER.-ln mill
ing AMI reducing the ores Of the Com
stock and other silver mines in this
State a vast amount Of quicksilver Is
used, and a vast amount has been and
still Is wasted or lost in the operation.
This loss was formerly much more
than 1t Is at present, owing to improved
methods of manipulation and manage
ment, vet how to avoid as far as posi-
BILE even the present loss Is an import
ant matter for consideration. Almarin
B. Paul, whom all will acknowledge
TO be good experienced authority In
the matter. says: My Investigations
Of the loss of quicksilver In the numer-
Gus mills working Comstock ore show
the average to be about l3s pounds per
ton of ore worked, while 1t has run as
high as ~ pounds per ton, and l may
say, 10 come Instances as low as l
pound. In other portions OF the state
OF Nevada, and wherever there Is lead
and copper in the ore, the loss has
reached "a high rs 8 pounds per ton,
but this, o fcourse, Is exceptional. In
the majority Of instances, where lead,
copper, zinc or anthony Is present IN
the ore, 1t Is sure to equal 2 pounds
Der ton. The statistics Of loss for five
wears of the Frieberg works show 1t to
be one and one-sixth pounds per ton OF
ore worked. The Real Del Monte
shows 90 ozs. Of loss to every s ozS. OF
silver extracted. The loss of mercury
depends on so many things-care IN
retorting must he included here-that
every one really has got to work It out
for himself. To work what Is popu-
larly termed "rebellious ores" and
bring the percentage Of loss Of quick
oliver within the loss Of mills working
free ores, like the Comstock, Is a mat
ter Of impossioility.

MISTAKEN SrNrEMENr.-It appears
that the item we copied from the Car
som Register yesterday, relative to the
sale of the Dall's mill property, IN
Washoe Valley, was not exactly cor
rect. Judging from the following item
which we clip from the Register Oh TINS
mornin0: sour informant was mis-
taken In regard to the sale Of the Dali
mill. at Ophir City, to the Bank OF
California. Il seems that the virginia
and Gold Hill Water Company has
been negotiating for the Dali water
privilege, and Is at present maS,ug
SURVEYS TO test the feasibility OF taxing
water from the lake lying at tue SOUTH
arm extremity OF the Washoe slide, or
Raid mountain, and from the stream
running down the canyon thereirom'
10 VirSinia; but as yet no sale or pur-
chase has been made. The intention
seems to be to supply Gold Hill anu
Virginia from the lake named, so thai
the Company may divert the waters OF
another lake south Of this n 70 this
valley, thus supplying this portion OF
Carson Valley, and d mills aIonS 'he
river. with q neyer-failing stream.

badly injured by John Leary day be-
fore yesterday, Is still In rather a crit

VICE Of his physicians and friends, ont

His ideas are confused, and he Is evil
dently suffering from severe conclusion
OF the brain, which may yet terminate
fatally.
