.CRAZY KATE. ON THE VIRGINIA
FIRE

The recent great fire in Virginia City,
rs is we'll known to the reading public,
originated in a clearinghouse on A
street, kept by a woman generally
known by the suggestive sobriquet
of "Crazy Kate" 1t was charged by
some of the papers that the fire orig
mated from the upsetting of a kerosene
lamp, a boisterous, drunken crowd
having been at Kate's house during the
night. "Crazy Jane" ia not disposed
to rest quietly under these damaging
charges, as will be seen by the follow
ing card which we find in a recent issue
of the Virginia Chronicle:
The impression having gone abroad
that | am the CAUSE of the desolating
fire of h 26th ult., will the citizens of
Virginia hear my story. sustained by
witnesses. On The morning of the fire
several persons, some OF whose names

We have heard it four or five times OF

sion of Congress, and further, that he
will resign or the meeting of the next
Nevada Legislature. The reason given
for this is that Senator Sharon has
such . load Of private business on his
hands that he can not afford to spare
the time. The failure OF the Bank OF
California and the panic which ensued,
to say nothing Of the Virginia City ca
lamity, has created such . demand on
his time and attention to keep his
immense private business in the prop
Or grooves, that he can not, except n
great risk, think of visiting the National
Capital during the pending session Of

pretty we'll authenticated reports, he

MORE ABOUT THE FRYER PRO.
CESS.

The Fryer process is something so
entirely new in the mining world that
we may be pardoned for abiding to it
so frequently. We are again indebted
to the Grass Valley Union for further
information on the subject. Says that
journal:
"During last Summer large works
were commenced, and a week or so
ago they were put into operation.
These larger works performed as neat
ly and completely as did the smaller.
In other words, the Fryer process re-
duced IONS as easily, as quickly and as
completely as it did pounds. The af-
fair is no longer an experiment; it is
an assured fact.
The enlarged works have shown also
that the process for reduction is cheap
one. 1t was at first estimated that the
cost of reduction would be about s.
per ton. It is now known that ore can
be reduced, by the Fryer process, at
about s. per ton, and probably for q
less sum.
The time required for working .
charge of ore is about twelve hours.
In four hours, however, after a charge
has been started another can be made,
the works in that respect being like q
fruit dryer, using hours instead of
minutes.
The capacity of the works can be In
creased indefinitely, just as milling
can be increased. Add more ''sec-
tions'' when more work is wanted,
just as an addition Of stamps are made
Il a mill, is the way to get capacity.
The advantages of this process are
many and great. The ore is worked at
once, saving nearly all the precioua
metal in it; concentrating s%ulphurets
is done away with, and so is the subse-
quent chlorin atom; the use of great
quantities OF quicksilver is avoided;
pans and the necessary power to run
them will be no longer needed"

THE r RACE.
