GOLD PLACERS IN ARIZONA.

Of late the Virginia Enterprise has con-
tanned numerous dispatches from Arizona
announcing new discoveries of both rich
ledges and rich placer diggings. From
Major La Page, now in Virginia City, we
yesterday learned some important items
in regard to some portions of that coun-
try. The Major declares that there are
tens of thousands of square miles of rich
placer mines in that portion of New Mex
leo and Arizona between the White and
Sierra Madre Mountains The Major
visited the country years ago and saw
the ground, and saw the gold in large
quantities among the Indians. This
statement is confirmed by Mr. Gadmire,
who is also here, who says that III 1870
he, with party of friends, the whole
number being twenty-nine, went from
Montana to creek. that empties into
Black River north of the White Noun
tains in Arizona, where twenty of their
number were killed in a fight with the
Tontos and other Apaches. The rem
nant proceeded further south. and after
whipsawing lumber for sluices, worked
five days and cleaned up 1864 in gold
dust, when the savages made them aban-
don the country. Major La Page informs
US that he has during the last ten years
tried repeatedly to raise company to
return to that country, but has never
been able, on account of the Indians.
He says his arrangements are now made
TO leave here about the LIST of June. He
intends to explore fully the country be-
tween the Gila and Colorado Rivers, en-
bracing the Sierra Madre, Mongolian,
Little Colorado and Black Bird Noun
tains. He says by the 1st of June it will
be good grazing for animals all the way,
and that there is surface bonanza there
sure, for he saw it with his own eyes long
ago. We know nothing at all about the
Majors arrangements ; whether his full
complement of men is secured or not !;
but if there are any restless spirits in our
midst who dream of the Black Hills as a
new Dorado, we advise them to see and
consult Major La Page, for it is possible
he will convince them that there is more
gold to be found in less rigorous eli
mate.

ties Of modern travel. It is said that the
palace Company own 800 cars, which are
operated on 80, 900 miles of road. The
average cost of these cars is $17, 500. In
Pennsylvania they run their cars on
twenty-five lines of road, and seventeen

A QUIET game of draw. quarter ante,
was in progress the other evening at
Chico, California. One Of the party
managed to get a heart flush, ace at
the head, out of the deck, and laid it in
his lap, waiting chance to play it. Pres
emily the chance came. The guileless
gentleman counted out $40 better with
one hand, and quietly went down with
the other hand for that flush. It WASH t
there. He had to play his original hand.
Two of the party called his $40 better,
and one of them inthe showdown pro-
duced the identical heart flush that he
had been at such pains to secure He
knew it was the same, for the ace was
still crimped just as he had done it.
The secret was, that Ira Wetherbee's dog
/" Patsey,9 = had quietly put his nose in,
picked up the flush, carried it around to
his friend, wagged his tail knowingly,
and walked off.

A GOOD PROJECT,

The Centennial Commissioners for
Nevada have agreed to the following
Resolved, That We respectively re-
quest the people of California and Ore
gon TO join with US in the erection and
maintenance of a building sufficient to
accommodate ths people from the Pa
cific Coast, to be known as the Pacific
Coast headquarters.
We trust that the Centennial Commits
sioners for California will take ia
vorablc action on the foregoing resolu-
ton, for we believe .Lat the course
which it maps out is the best that could
be designed to afford the Pacific Coast
an opportunity to make their presence
felt at the Exhibition. Some telling
work for the interests of this Coast can
be easily accomplished under the coop
erstive plan. Corporation means sys-
tenn, and system will win every time.

We beg to offer the suggestion that
the Centennial Board for this State at
its next meeting appropriate q given
sum-say 1,sOO-to bs expended in the
erection Of building by the Pacific
States and Territories, to cost q given
sum, not exceeding $1,000. That would
tart the ball, at any rate.

DEATH OF HON. Il. p. AVERY.

A dispatch dated Washington. Dee. l,
announces the death Of Hon. Benjamin
P. Avery, our Minister TO China. The
deceased was man of delicate literary
tastes, q bard worker with brain and
pen, and altogether a very superior
journalist and magazine-wriser. He first
became known to the newspaper readers
of California through the columns of the
San Juan Nevada county, California;,
Press-or, perhaps lit YVES the h'dfpsn-
de,d-a semi weekly paper of whose
name we are not quite sure, familiar with
it as We once were. When the Marys-
vile Appeal passed ont of the hands Of
its founders, Bioor & Co, Avery and
Noah Brooks became its editors; and
subsequently. after the Appeal and
National Democrat were merged i'll one
paper under the name Of the Marysville
Daily Appeal, Avery was elected State
Printer of California. Either during his
term of office or soon after its e1pira-
ton, he was engaged as one of the staff
of the San Francisco Bulletin; and he
continued to occupy that position until
. year or SO before he received his
appointment as Minister to China.
Meantime he had succeeded to the editor
ship of the Overland Monthly, position
for which he was admirably fitted. Tor
some years Mr.. Avery had been a sufferer
from acute rheumatism; and it is likely
that to the ravages of this disease his
death ia attributable.

reduction works on scale which would
make i. paying investment. is it not
fairly dsmonstrabie, that the mill and its
current expenses would Just exactly
swamp the cabinet clear ont Of sight?
! We know that the law making the
$50, coo appropriation for Centennial
purposes says that the Commission
may apply moneys appropriated by
| this act to the building quartz mill at
Philadelphia; but the very first section
of the said act says, madatorily "Ex-
penditures SLuI be made for the secur-
ing. labelling, classifying, packing and
transportation Of appropriate minernlo-
gical specimens from this State, for ex-
hibition in the Centennial exhibition at
Philadelphia. il, eighteen Hundred and
seventy-Six.
Now xe say, first, that under the law,
the cabinet OF specimens has precedence.
in the line OF expenditures over all else.
Also it seems to II. that this quartz mill
proposition. considering the size Of the
appropriation is more than imprac-
tiesble and full OF disastrous embarrass-
ments.
We hope that the Board will speedily
reconyene and reconsider their i'll
advised action in authorizing Mr..
Stevenson TO purchase and set up this
proposed mill; for if it is to be nothing
but a toy mill. the expenditure is Ger
tainly unwarranted; and if it is to he
run for the purpose of producing real. |

fairness we will say that there is a more |
or less plausible plan or argument in :
favor of this quartz mill project, the |
leading features of which We will lay
before orr readers tomorrow. This
comes in here as a consequence of a talk
with a member of the Board held yt.ter-
day after the foregoing WAS in type. We
still think We are right-we know we
mean to be-but all sides are entitled to

THE POST AND ITS NEW
EEITG7fTS.

In yesterdays APPEAL We alluded to
the San francisco Post rs il i. Were
under the management and control Ct a
combination consisting of Senator Jones,
Joe Goodman and Sam Seabaugh. We
are convinced, after reading certain eX-
tracts from that paper published in
Wednesday evenings Virginia Chronicle
that we did All. Jones an injustice by
thus coupling his name with Goodman
and Seabaush. The Senator has all
along been an outspoben friend of Prssi-
| dent Grant, and is a Republican with
out any reservations or provisos. holding
himself loyal to any discipline or con-
illusions that may be reached by tina,
party. We reproduce the following from
the Goodman-Seabaugh salutatory:
Many things have been done in the
name OF the Republican party during
the last seven wears which no honest
man or true patriot can approve: and
things may be accomplished by dema-
gogues and the official brigade in its
name within the next year that Will force
ali independent journals to oppose il, in
which case the Post is sure to be Of the
opposition The nomination Of the
present Chief Magistrate q TIE nation
for third term is p-Uminen. among the
blunders possible for the party to maxi.
In other words, Goodman begins with
the Post Just where he left OFF on the
Enterprise, and Seabaugh's quill. yet
black with the ink of the editorial desks
Of the Sacramento Union and the San
Francisco Bulletin, simply e1teruates /,
and Celebrates the work which he was /,
so long and with so much Of malignant !
arGor engaged in as an employe OF those !
establishments. 1t seems to Us that /
Messrs. Goodman and Seabaugh have /
permitted themselves 10 embark upon q
very unwise course. II ever there was
an opening in San Francisco for stir
ring, courageous, answering Eepubli-
can paper that opening now exists. AS /
to the lead on which the Post declares !
it's determination to work, it seems to Us
that the Bulletin, the Gail and the ChfOa-
icle already are in full possession OF
whatever bonanza lies therein. 1t seems
indeed, as if the Post had started out
under the influence, rather than as indie
pendent of, the policy OF the papers
named. The so-called principle which
actuates the Bulletin is OF its own manu-
facture. Nobody ought to know this
better than Seabaugh, and yet he writes
like a schoolman and not like an indie
pendent teacher. The tone of the eZ-
tract above quoted is in full accord with
Senator Booth. The alleged faults OF
the Republican party are first magnitisd
and then admitted; and then comes
and impertinent declara-
lion of war against certain recognized
elements OF the party; and in natural
is reputation OF Grant We
fear that the Post will prove itself simply
A supernumersry in field of work which
IS already overweight, and that its con-
lUctors will be recognized as mere volun-
.ser performers upon the second fiddle
under the leadership and inspiration of
The Bulletin and its coterie and staff.

We are very glad that Mr.. Whjtehtll

hope that Mr.. Stevenson will follow
suit. As to whom any resignations may
be made it is immatsrial though we
suppose that if they are filed with the
Governor or Secretary of State they
would stick. Anyhow, it is easy enough
to quit holding any Office if the incum-
bent is in earnest about riddin. hiInsel,

4 NEW PROCESS OF REDUCING
| ORES. In late number of the San
Francisco Stock Exchange we find
the following interesting account OF
q new process for reducing refrac-
tory ores:
The Mindelef Process for the re-
duction Of ores was tried in the
presence OF large number Of gen
tlcmen, at the corner of Main and
| Harrison streets, on Wednesday and
| Thursday last. The following is
synopsis of the experiment made
with a small and crude furnace an
ranged fer the occasion: Three hun
bred pounds of oxide copper ore was
placed in a common quicksilver re
tort, and the same closed. The re-
tort being then subjected TO heat
not exceeding 500 degrees. this lad
the effect to dispel the moisture con-
tanned in the ole. At the end of two
hours the vapor ceased to escape
from a jetpipe indicator. The moist
ure being dispelled avolume of com:
mon street gas was turned into the
retort still closed and Immediately
steam again made its escape. bit APP
parentIy highly charged with foul
gases. This continued for an hour
or more. when a match or light was
placed at the lest tube and fame /
OF ordinary gas appeared, free from |
any color but the yellow Of natural
gas. The ore was then pronounced !
reduced. The retort and ore being
hot, it was decided to open It the
following day, which was done in
the presence OF large party. and
the result was indeed wonderful, for
in place OF the solid, compact and
hard oxide one, there appeared Z
mass of soft and light metallic cop
per sponge ready for smelling. When
We consider the time, expense and
of this new process, as
with the old method, We
can but believe that the erection of 4
g Mindelef plant on this coast, as
will be OF great value to
the mining interests of this State and

scheme. "keeley Motor" - Fryer

The DANGERS OF PoRK-EATING.-
Alarming reports of the threat
ening prevalence OF trichinosis and
of diseased condition of hogs in
the pork-raising States are no doubt
often spread without reason. but in
the " Trar sactions of the Indiana
State Medical Society" we find a
report by DIR. George Sutton which
probably is only too true. He found
that in the southeastern part of
Indiana from 3 to 1G per cent. of the
hogs were diseased. He calculates
that if the number Of unhealthy
animals is assumed to be four per
cent, the 5.531, 100 hogs which are
yearly slaughtered for the market
will yield no less than II, 296. 500
pounds diseased meat, and every
ounce OF this is capable Of produc
ing disease. With chances so heavily
against the probability Of health in
pork eaters, the question arises, why
is trichinosis comparatively so rare?
The report shows that fortunately
for the human race, diseased pork
does not produce its most dreaded
effects except in small proportion
of the cases. DIR. Sutton says: THAT
from the cases of trichinosis that
came under our observation, and the
post-mo rtem examinations, and the
effects upon the dog that was fed on
the diseased meat, we have come to
the conclusion that ninety per cent
of disease produced from eating
trichinous pork appears either as
gastro-enteritis, or as diarrhea or
and not more than ten
per cent. as the fully developed form
of trichinosis, in which the muscular
system becomes affected; that as di-
arrhea, dysentery, and enteritis rank
high as causes of mortality in the
United States, these diseases causing
81, 153 deaths in 1870, as shown by
the last census reports, and as We
have Sc en- that a large amount of tri-
chinous pork, capable of producing
these diseases, is among the princi-
pal articles of food in our country.
we think it more than probable that
trichine have . much greater inhu-
ence in the etiology of this class of
diseases than has been recognized by
the profession; that it is highly pro-
bable that, when the fact becomes
more generally known that so large
a percentage of pork is swarming
with trichin;e, capable of producing
it may have an effect upon
tie use of this meat, and conse-
Iuently effect the sale, to some ex-
ent, of one of the principal articles
If commerce in the West"
