THE OXY-HYDROGEN FURNACE
The Chronicle has several times alluded
to the Stevens furnace in terms of
praise. 1t has paid so much attention
to the subject because it is connected
with II of the most important indus
tries, and will make profitable many
mines which cannot now be worked
on account of scarcity of fuel in the
region wherein they are located. Yes
terdav a Chronicle reporter visited the
Harrison and Nam streets, and wit
messed the working of the flame by a
new process. In this exhibition the
coal tar was not used, but the carbon
was obtained from Mount Diablo coal.
which was packed in a chamber and
the gas extracted by a peculiar pro-
cess, which must be seen to be appre-
ciated. The amount of coal ON
Sumed is comparatively tritiing, and
the flame, once started, heats its w
steam and is almost self-supporting.
That this is the cheapest and most
powerful furnace known, is the
opinion Of all who have seer it in
operation. There is no doubt but it
will work a revolution in mining
matters and ave mine wner much
money. The small cost of the flame,
its intense power, and the ease with
which it can be regulated, combine
to make the Stevens the best furnace
now known.-San Francisco Chronicle,
March 20.
\ furnace to use the heat above
described will be erected here in a
few days gentleman who has had
experience in its operations in smelt-
ing pres from all parts of the Coast at
| San Francisco. He has no CUB OF
its success, as he considers the tests
of smelling ores with different kinds
of material quite sufficient. We have
seer so many strange things proven
| to be all that was claimed for them,
that we cannot afford to doubt the
evolvement of Il scientific principle
simply because it is new. Small
minds believe the least.
PRoBABLY.-Messrs. salisbury and
Gilmer, the Elko and Hamilton Kali
road men, are asking the people or
Eureka to take stock in their enter
prise. The amount allotted to the base
range is doubtless limited, and the
chances are that Judge Harmon n
Sam. Bell will hog the entire lot, and
never give outsiders a chance to secure
IA single share.-RereiHe.
Uncle Rufus" expects to lose too
much money in tho County Clerks
office to allow Sam. to go in with him
in the aforesaid Eureka switch. He
proposes to construct the entire road
out of the proceeds OF his labor as
LOBBYIST at Carson during the past
Winter, and it is currently reported
that he will establish Credit Mobllier
at once for the benefit of the Young
Mems Christian Association. sam.
