WHEN the connection (by winze) was
made the other day between the north
drift on the 150O-foot level of the Gould
and Curry and the 1400-foot level of the
Consolidated Virginia, there was tre-
mendous rush OF air from the first named
mine. The air rushed along the drift
with such force as to detach stones from
its walls. This air, coming as 1t did
from the 15OO-foot level Of the Gould 4
Curry, was exceedingly hot at first-117
degrees Fahrenheit : but it has now
cooled down to about SO degrees and will
eventually go lower. The drauRht

They have purchased the gasom.t. for

the manufacture OF chlorine gas and will
now use it as cremation furnace, 1t ia
made OF heavy boiler iron and is simply
drum within drum. The body to be
operated upon is to be placed in the in

and a strong blast introduced.
The gasometer originally cost $500,
but Hobart 4 Chaplin, the new cremation
firm, managed to get it for $3.50. In
turning out work, the bargain at which
they obtained their apparatus will be
borne in mind, and the customer will
have his full share of the benefit of the
same. They desire to say that, with

FROM the Nevada City (Csl.) Trans

Francisco to work on quicksilver mines
situated near Cambria. San Luis Obispo.
The company has run tunnel to dis
lance of ITO feet through sandstone
formation, the entire mass being impreg-
mated with quicksilver yielding from two
to twenty-five per cent. OF that metal.
They have now struck mass of much
richer ore, and are constructing a Cotton
furnace and will soon put up three more.
