The Auburn Mill.

The revised scale Of prices paid for
silver ores by the Nevada Land and
Mining Company will be found In our
advertising columns. In company
with our associate we paid a brief visit
to the Auburn Mill last Thursday, and
through the courtesy Of the foreman
were privileged to make an examina-
ton of the works. AS Is we'll known,
this extensive mill. with its various adj
juncts, Is employed principally In the
reduction of rebellious ores, and Is the
one in which the famous Steteldt fur
mace was first successfully operated oil
u large scale, and its value rs n chic
ridizing agent fully established so
that to-day, notwithstanding the nu-
merous experiments made with q view
to accomplish the same results, the
Stetefeldt furnace stands unoppoSed by
any other, as the most expeditions,
safe and reliable In Use. There arc
large lots of ore in the ore-house at the
mill, from Idaho, Salt Lake City, Vir-
clnia City and elsewhere, awaiting re-
duction, which speaks we'll for the pop
ularity of the mill, and shows the faith
of mine n In Its efficiency. The
gentleman In charge informed US that
the first lot Of ore crushed and worked
since the mill was overhauled and
started up. came from the kcarsarge
mine at Independence, Inyo county,
California, and was richer than any
ever before worked in the mill we do
not recollect the figures, but the
amount of metal said to be contained
in a ton Of Kearsarge ore is something
wonderful, and speaks volumes for the
mine from whence it wa taken. Our
examination of the mill revealed the
Glct that Mr.. F. +. Osbiston, the new
Manager. thoroughly understands the
duties of his position, and has left
nothing undone to perfect every de-
partment, and make the mill pay while
working up to its, full capacity. The
Nevada Land and Mining Company
may look out for good results from
their mill under Mr.. Osbiston's man.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

WAsmNGToN, February Is. - The
Southern Pacific Railroad bill, pro-
posed by Wheeler, gives the road a
length of about thirteen hundred miles.
The Texas portion of the line will be
nearly five hundred miles in length,
and that through the Territories seven
hundred miles. The total area Of land
grant will be less than five millions.
The bill that passed the Senate pro-
vidcs for q trunk line from Marshall,
Texas, to San Diego, California, the
land grant for which will be about
four hundred thousand acres more
than that Of the Wheeler bill.
The Senate bill also provides for
branches, one of which Is 4 grand
trunk, and the san Diego Company to
run from Fulton, Arkansas, to Dallas,
Texas. The road is also authorized to
connect at Marshall. The Southern
Pacific, of California, is to construct a
line from San Diego to San Francisco
for this branch. 1t is to receive the
same number of sections (twenty) pre-
viously granted to the same.

AREPLYTo SECRETARY Boutwell,
Secretary Boutwell's letter against the
repeal Of the Income Tax Law has
been offset by the action Of the Ways
aud Means Committee on the S:h inst.
the nine members Of that Committee
voting five to four to report a bill for
the discontinuance Of the tax. Mr..
Boutwell, fears that If the tax Is abol-
ished the revenue may not be sufficient
for the wants Of the Government and
the continuance Of the heavy redemp-
ton Of the public debt on which he
has set his heart. In these a%pprehen-
sions he has no general sympathy from
the great body Of the public. They
will be entirely content If the debt is
redeemed at n somewhat slower rate
for the next year or two; and rs to
any possible deficit in the revenue dur
ing the same period. the Secretary
need not have serious fears so long as
he has a balance in the Treasury ave
raging about 4 hundred millions. II
ut the end of the next financial year he
finds that the taxes have not yielded as
much by five or ten millions as he
would like, let him pay out that deficit
of five or ten millions for n year or
two from the hundred million balance,
and he will still have coin and currency
enough in his vaults to keep the cur
rcncy and the finances in a wholesome
state of regulation.

JULES FAvRE has recently written
q letter to n friend in Illinois, regret
ting that the policy Of the United
States as regards France has been at
fected by the influence Of the German
emigrants. Favre says that it is n real
grief to find this influence interposed
between two nations who, for 4 CEN
fury, had been accustomed to be
united by 4 close friendship. He ar
CUES that, even If tls detestable I'M
perial policy during the war Of seces-
sion and especially the fatal expedi-
ton to Mexico changed these senti-
ments, France, restored to herself,
should, at this time, by the simple
prestige Of her regained liberty, etface
these d~isagreeable impressions. Favre
also expresses his gratitude to Mr.
Washburne, the United States Minis
ter, for his friendly feelings toward
the French Republic, and for his hon
orrble efforts to procure for it the BEN
eft of q quiet and lasting peace.
