HORSE Brrrrn.-In tbe brsinesa NJ

enjoying a general Notification on the
occasion. The French people, and
particularly the Parisians, are even
ahead Of the Piutes In appreciation Of
horsefiesh, and the good eating there
Is to be found in that noble but much
used and abused animal. During the
siege they certainly utilized the horse
as food to the greatest extent, so that
the omnibus lines all ran short Of stock,
and many had to cease running alto
pether. Even swill-cart horses were
In high demand, and no n could
afford to own a saddle horse except to
eat. They studied how to economic
this staple, or rather stable food, all
possible, and In every particular and
detail. The result was that they went
the whole horse, bones and all; yes,
and even what little fat there was on
his poor carcass or marrow in his bones.
a correspondent who was in Paris
during the siege, thus gives his expert
ence, as we'll as that Of the inhabitants
generally, In the matter Of the horse :
"The horse presents in the various
parts Of It's tissue and bones several
varieties Of fat-some liquid. like olive
oil, others resembling butter In con-
sistency, and all free from any disa-
greeabie odor. These substances were
used in Paris, during the siege, for
culinary purposes, when the oil and
butter were exhausted. The sxtrac-
ton of the fatty matter was conducted
as follows The adipose tissues,
separated from the lamina. were
| bruised between the fiuted rollers Of a
crushing mill, which tore the cells In
q temperature Of about 100 degrees
centigrade, when the fluid fat exuded,
the contraction Of the tissues aiding
the expulsion of the grease. The a
row was either extracted from the
bones, or they were crushed and
thrown into warm water, and the fat
afterwards collected; no further pIo-
cess being required to render 1t fit for
use"
BELcHER.-Thc ore body at the LOO
foot level of this mine has been drifted
upon to the distance Of 100 feet south
from the Crown Point line, and proves
to be both an extensive as we'll as rich
deposit. 1t Is probably quite as extern
sive and good rs that In the Crown
Point. At the south portion especially,
It shows an unusually large proportion
Of gold-over halt. This causes q much
greater average yield In value per ton,
from the ore being worked, as we'll as
some very rich assays. One piece q
few days since assayed $l2. 900 per ton,
and average assays yield 800. 1t Ger
tainly Is very rich ore, and II they only
have enough of 1t, the monthly bullion
receipts from the Belcher are bound to
be large In the future. The good
streak Of ore. thought to be the top OF
this lower level deposit, recently found
In the Wine below the S50-foot level
OF the mine. 100 feet east Of the shaft,
Is not looking so we'll, being broken
and Irregular. It will probably, how
ever, concentrate and be better as
deeper developed.
CHARLES BONNER DEAD.-Charles
Bonner, formerly so we'll known as
Superintendent of the Gould & Curry,
Savage, and other mines of this section,
died at San Francisco this morning,
after a few weeks illness, caused by
paralysis. Mr.. Bonner was promt-
| nently connected with the early de-
| yelopment Of the Comstock ledge, and
has q large circle Of friends here rs
we'll as elsewhere to mourn his loss.
He was about 40 years of age and a
native of England. The flags on all
the principal mining works Of Vir-
ginia and Gold Hill are displayed at
Ralf-mast to-day In token of the sad
news.

VIRGINIA observation-disclosures
Ing is being most vigorously conducted
In the above mine, as usual, drifting
north and south from the main west
drift at the 500-f6ot level, as well as
raising above 1t In search Of ore. Thus
far none has been discovered, but the
locality Is a very favorable n for the
existence Of good ore bodies, and some
will vet be encountered. just let this
mine and the Ophir strike 1t good and
it will be a big thing for the north end
of Virginia.
ORE YIELp.-Last week there was
extracted and shipped to mill from
from the Crown Point mine 1851 tons

S3l 80. The Hale & Norcross yielded
3O7 tons. The Chollar yielded 700
tons; average assay value, "a 20 per
ton.
