PROFESSOR TYNDALL AND SUPERHEATED
STEAM.

"A Brief Interview with the Celebrated
Sctentist-He '.suggests'' Practical Ex-
pertinent Instead of Perpetual Argue
ment.
The superheated steam controversy has, all I'M
consciously grown to be bore Of the first mag
pitude. SO many nincompoops have taken to
giving their opinions on the subject and so few
men with any real practical knowledge of the
point at issue have been heard In the discussion,
that the public are as little enlightened now as to
She character and vagaries of superheated steam
as they were at the beginning of the argument.
reporter OF the HERALD called on Professor
Uyndall last evening, expecting to get such lum-
nous scientific opinion in the matter would settle
the cont oversy forever and dssipate all the myst-
Tying vapors that at present enshroud 1t.
"What Is your OpinlOn,n asked the reporter, "Of
the nature and effects OF superheated steamYv
IL have no opinion on the subject" answered
way OF his. "It these people who are interested In
euperheated steam desire to know all about its
exact nature and effect let them 60 to Professor
'Or Professor Chandler suggested gentleman
sitting at the opposite side of the table from Mr..
(. Eyes" continued Professor Tyndall, s.this ques.
Zion can only be decided by practical experiment
you may go on publishing opinions Tor year
FROM TINS person and that and be as far from a
clear understanding OF the question at the end as
you were at the start. Now Pro essor Draper who
mas all the necessary apparatus in his laboratory
lcan solve the problem ior you in hall a day. It IL
mot opinions you want, but experiments directed by
n man who knows his business. There have been
plenty OF opinions given nut let me ask IL the pub
lic much better informed than II they had heard
none at air. If your Fire Marshal had pronsr
sense OF his own ignorance and the responsibility
The Is under 10 the people OF the City he would have
gone to Professor Draper, or some such gentleman,
and begged enlightenment in place OF advancing
his own turgid and mole-eyed theories"
That was all Professor Iyndal had to say, and
hhe wonder is 1t never entered into the heads Of
Hhe angry controversalists about superheated
steam to do just what the Professor suggests.

THE BANK STATEMENT.

THE BANK STATEMENT.
The bank statement proved quite favorable and
surpassed the expectation OF the street. The chief
feature IS gain OF over three and half millions
OF legal tenders, rejecting the return OF currency
10 this centre from the interior, the movement
embracing more greenbacks tnan 1t was thought to
do. The effect OF this addition to the reserves has
been impaired by loss OF nearly million and
half OF specie, the result OF the heavy drain OF gold
into the Custom House to pay ior duties on the i'm
ports OF the week. The deposits are greater to the
extent OF good five millions anu the loans have
been expandedOver two and half millions. The
statement compares with its predecessor as fol-

SATURDAY, Jan. 1876 p. M.
The general merchandise markets were quiet az
general thing all through the past week, and
though there but little of that anxiety to sell
which o1tentimes results In pressure to sell even
at material decline in values, yet there has been
manifest on the part Of sellers greater readiness
to meet buyers than had been apparent for some
weeks previously. In quite a number of cases
values had declined somewhat, but as an Offset to
this many kinds Of merchandise have been held
with increased frmness or actually enhanced IN
value. But the volume OF business has
been small only few commodities having sold
with any freedom. The movement in breadstufrs
has been slow despite the fact that there has been
better demand for shipment, in response to
orders from Great Britain the extreme flrmness OF
holders restricting transactions within narrow
limits. Both -four and wheat have been in better
demand and prices have steadily advanced-the
former in particular having materially enhanced IN
value with every indication OF still further I'm.
provement. The cotton movement has been slow
and business has been mainly confined to future
contracts. On Saturday the markets were even
Quieter than usual, the rain storm tending to hold

Is no doubt that ere long Silver Mountain
Dlstrlct, Tor so this section is called, will
become a large and prosperous smelling
camp. Near the foot Of the creek we
found McCurdy's ranch, and were kindly
entertained by him. He is the owner Of
a me ranch, and has a large crop well adj
vanced towards maturity, as well as many
head OF cows and other stock. Here we
were told that the nearest road 10 Nine
raj City was via Ruby Hill, and, being
anxious to return home, acted upon the
advice, but found we had accepted the
old axiom that the nearest road home
was the longest way round"
RUBY HILL,
Once a lively camp, is now almost wholly
deserted, there being but eight men resid-
ing there at this writing. The approach
is through a %precipitous canyon the ele-
walton to be attained considerable, and
the road a hard one to travel" Agreat
amount Of work has been done on the
various mines here, and many tons of
high grade mineral extracted. That a
valuable mine exists somewhere on this
mountain, seems to be established beyond
a doubt but, as yet, no great depth has
been attained on any of the numerous
locations. The owners of mining prop
erty, however, are still confident of even
tual success, and only await the intro
duetion of capital to resume active ope-
rations. About half way down the noun
tam, ON the opposite side to Ruby Hill,
we found another "deserted village"
formerly called Rubyville. Here a five
stamp mill has been erected, which now
lays idle. At Indian Creek we turned
our horses homeward, satisfied Of having
seen the country sufficiently well to form
the opinion that only by persistent and
well-directed effort, aided by large capt.
tai, can the localities we have attempted
to describe prove successful as a mining
section.

ACCIDENT AT sHERMANTOwN.


One Man Killed and Another Badly Injured.
On Tuesday last a sad accident, fatal to
one man and possibly so to another, &C.
CURED at the mill being erected by j. b.
Osborne at Shermantown. From the
evidence before Coroner Louis A. Hauck,
it appears that seven or eight men were
engaged, with block and tackle, moving a
heavy rock breaker, which, when some
three or four feet in the air, suddenly
turned over and went crashing to the floor
below, carrying with it Leonard G.. Fergu-
son and f. Patrick. When rescued from
their perilous position, Ferguson was
thought not to be injured seriously, but,
in about twenty-five minutes after the ac-
cident he breathed his last. John Black.
in his testimony, says he was standing
with the two men when they fell, and
thinks deceased was struck with a piece
of wood, causing his death. Patrick
is said to be injured severely, but, it is
hoped, not seriously. DR.. j. K. n. Owen
was informed of the circumstance late in
the evening, and, notwithstanding the
pouring rain and accompanying darkness
of the night, wen to the scene and dress
ed the wounds of the injured. The fol-
lowing is the verdict of the Coroner's
jury summoned on the occasion {:

NEW FIRM.-Ballenberg & Emanuel,
both young men well-known for their
obliging and gentlemanly ways, are en-
gagged fitting up a store near the corner
OF Main and Hamilton streets, and will
soon be in receipt of one Of the best Sc
leeted stock of clothing, boots and shoes,
ever opened in Hamilton. They assure
us that the goods were selected by them
selves from the best houses, and are SUI
perior in quality and style. All they ask
is for the public to calf and examine.
The stock will be exposed for sale on the
Goth of August. See advertisement un-
der head of New To-day"
MOVED IN.-Father Hyacinth, known
sometimes as Hartman Kirchner, has
moved into his new saloon ON the site of
the old place, and displays his usual
taste in the appointments, etc. Although
u smaller edition of Perry's old place,
everything looks neat and cozy. We are
pleased to see the reverend gentleman SO
well located, and hope his success may
be commensurate with his deserts.
WANrED.-It is announcement for peo-
Pile to walk half a mile or more in search
of a bakers shop to procure IA loaf when
wanted, and, the case is that in Hamil-
ton, they must either do so, or go with
out bread. We have heard many com
plants since the fire in regard to this
matter, and hope the fault may be rene
died and bread brought around, as is the
custom in all towns and cities.
SApLER's BUILDING.-The ~fire-proof
cellar to this building has been completed,
and the main structure is now in process
of erection, Most people believe in
making tire-proof storehouses under
ground since the experience gained in
the late disastrous fire, and for a long
time none but wooden buildings will be
erected above ground.
The SNUG, This is the name of a
neat little saloon fitted up by +. II.
Morton, on Main street. Morton says
he can afford to sell as good liquors for
a bit as are now to be obtained for double
the money, We wish him success in
his venture,

F1REsfEN,s

At a meeting of the Fire Department,
held at the st. Nicholas saloon on We'd
nesday evening last, the following bust
ness was transacted On motion, all out
standing bills were ordered paid, and the
Secretary instructed to draw warrants on
the Treasurer for the amounts. A motion
to disband the present organization was
made. and, on a vote being had, it was
carried, and the President, o. L. Scott,
declared the present Fire Department of
Hamilton d~isbanded. The meeting was
adjourned to meet ON (this) Saturday af-
ternoon at 3 o'clock, for the purpose of
organizing a new Department. 1t is GER
tliulv a creditable circumstance that the
defunct Department does not owe a dol
lar, after having been in existence four
years. At the next meeting steps will be
taken to erect asuitable buildingin which
to house the apparatus and be used for
a place of meeting, as well as replace the
hose. hooks and ladders destroyed in the
late fire. We are pleased TO see SO much
interest manifested in the matter of an
efficient organization, and trust that none
may slacken in their efforts to make the
Department one Of credit to the town.
