NEVADA SODA,

[From the 8. F. Mining and Scientific Press.
The Nevada Soda Company have
lately introduced IN the market and
are engaged In developing an import
ant branch Of our mineral resources,
which seem to embrace the whole cat
alogue Of earthly wealth, now that
diamonds have been discovered. But
the company are presenting us with
something Of more practical utility
than the gems Of the hills. They have
acquired possession of a small lake In
Churchill county, Nevada, having an
area of about seven acres, which Is q
perfect we'll Of carbonate Of soda In Its
almost pure state. This article can be
obtained from this reservoir to the OK
tent of 20, 600 tons q year, and Is pro-
cured In the crude state. 1t Is a mer-
charitable article for various purposes,
as the. manufacture Of soap, u Tor
use as a flux In the crushing mills Tor
which it Is largely employed already
at Virginia City. This substance forms
OIL the shores Of the lake as fast as re-
moved, and the supply is of course In
e~xhaustable. BY a simple process the
crude article can be manufactured INTO
bicarbonate of soda, sal soda, or caus-
tic soda. Its caustic properties are
said to be very strong: John Hews-
ton. of this city, and other we'll
known chemists, have carefully an,
alyzed the article, and pronounced
il remarkably pure and equal In all
respects to the European soda, which
has heretofore been the quality In use
throughout the world. The company
expect to overcome all competition In
auy market at once, from the extent
of their source of supply and the Sill.
perIority Of quality. 1t Is now used
by the soap manufacturers and by the
WOODEN mills all over the coast. In
Nevada It IL used rs a flux, and sever
al mills consume from 80 to 40 tons
monthly. The agents for BabcocE's
fire extinguisher have experimented
with it aud found 1t to answer admir-
ably, besides being so much cheaper.
as it can be purchase here for two
cents, where they have to pay seven
cent, for it in Chicago. \ shipment
has been made to Philadelphia, but
the result Is not yet known. Large
quantities of soda are used In glass
making, and it Is anticipated that ere
long the company will be able to re-
ine 1t so that 1t a be used by u To-
cal glass factories.

Singular Enciden t.

A white convict named William Hewlett
was taken to the penitentiary yesterday unit
der singular circumstances. He had es-
capped from the State prison sometime du-
ring the winter of 1669-70 and gone to
Kentucky. There he committed some Pc
nal offence, and was sent to the Kentucky
State prison. He served out his time, and
on being discharged, returned home to his
mother, who resides in this county. He
vas utterly destitute, and his constitution,
like his character, was completely ruined by
his long incaI ceration, and the reckless life
he had led. He was unable to go to a
strange place and work for living, and he
could not remain in Davidson county with
out being recognized and arrested asan es-
capped convict. In this dilemma his mother
brought hin yesterday to the city and de-
livered him up to the Warden of the peni-
Tertiary. She then applied to the Governor
TO pardon her unfortunate son. Under the
circumstances, the Governor said he did not
feel justified in granting her prayer.
