The PRISON ExPERTs.-It is now as
serted on apparently good authority, says
the Eureka Sentinel. that the experts APP
pointed to examine the books Of Warden
Hyman will submit their report this
week. 1t is further stated that the ex-
perts will disagree and that two reports
will be made. Mr.. Eldridge, who Was
for a long time Chief Clerk at the prison,
it IS understood will show that everything
is all right, while Deputy Controller Han
ford will assert in equally positive terms
that everything is all wrong. While we
may say that this is nothing more than
was to have been expected, it is perhaps
as well to reserve further comments until
the report is ont.

GEDDEs L BERTRAND. The San Francisco
Stock Report of a late date has the following to
say OF this property Amongst the many min
ing properties the Geddes & Bertrand Mill and
Mining Company, located in Eastern Nevada.
Eureka District, promises to become one Of the
leading mines i'll the district. The furnace now
running yields 7,e0O pounds Of bullion every
"a hours, at SGS1 per ton, which is the result of
) tons, arrived here at Shelby's Smelling Works
on Saturday last. The company has now about
10 tons of bullion at the furnace, which will ar
rive here as soon as cars can bring it. The
mines are improving, and the following dispatch
has just been received in reference to a new
body of ore struck in No. 5 shaft, which refer
ence was made i'll the superintendent letter on
the 10th instant. The dispatch reads 1.-THE
new body is in Is inches, with ten feet face.
Samples taken from three different places assay
81, 0O5, s 1,95S and IS. 1856 per ton. The furnace
is now running splendidly."

A gentleman of this city, says the Vir-
ginia Enterprise, who had some ore work
ed by the Fryer process, informs us that
the prevailing notions regarding said pro-
cess are incorrect. The idea that has in
some way taken root in the public mind
is that Mr.. Fryer subjects the ore sub
mitted to him for reduction to some kind
of chemical bath which dissolves it, re-
ducing it to an impalpable powder on
the contrary. the ore is placed in furnace
of peculiar construction and roasted,
when it is amalgamated. The ore is not
crushed before roasting, but is placed in
Jumps just as it is taken from the mine.
The gentleman who gives us this infor-
nation took to Grass Valley a lot of tail
ings which he wished to have tested by
the process In question. Mr.. Fryer, the
inventor of the process, was in the East,
but his brother was at Grass Valley and
undertook to make the test. He (the
brother) said that he would not be able
to work the tailings to his entire satisfac-
ton, as their furnace was intended for
roasting uncrushedrock and not anything
SO finely pulverized as tailings. He made
no secret of it being a roasting process.
He said that they roasted the ore in their
furnace and then a~malgamated it. With
some alteration of their ~furnance he said
they would be able to work tailings as
well and as satisfactorily as rock in the
lump. The tailings submitted to the
process yielded in a manner quite salts
factory to the gentleman who carried
them to Grass Valley, but not to the sat-
isfaction Of Mr.. Fryer, who said with u
different kind of furnace he could do still
better with them. The superstition is
that something is put into the furnace
with the ore which destroys the iron and
sulphur it contains.

STILL MORE ABOUT THE FRYER
PROCESS.

The editor of the Grass Valley Union
has been permitted to make a personal
inspection OF "Fryer's new process
but is not expected to divulge the
secrets thereof. He Is highly pleased
with the process" and has the greatest
confidence that it is a success. as will be
seen by a perusal of his remarks
After a statement from Mr.. Fryer of the
principle upon which he started out with for
the manipulation of ores. we were shown into
an apartment containing the original apparatus.
where tests OF ore were made upon a large scale,
ana where after a series of experiments, extend
ing over a period of months, and upon a great
variety of ores, a success was fully demon
strated which justified the erection of large
works, made a thorough inspection of all the
apparatus. and received an explanation of the
Process in all its details. We will not excite
the expectations of our readers by saying that
we VIII lmpart to them the information we have
received. as we are not at liberty at present to
do so. But we can say that it is a fire process.
that the working of the ore is thorough. and that
it would seem impossible for any of the precious
metals to escape, and that the whole process is
wonderful in its simplicity. and remarkable in
Its n~eatness, economy and dispatch. The entire
operation of the machinery is wholly unlike
anything at present used in the working of gold
and silver ores. and the apparatus is no more
costly than that of mills in present use, with
equal capacity of doing work, and the wear and
tear must be an Insignificant item compared with
mat experienced with the present mills. We
viii here correct a misrepresentation we NAV
heretofore have given our readers, that little
Quicksilver is used in this process. Quicksilver
is freely used in amalgamation, as in all mills.
out there is no loss, or at least only an infnitesi-
NAL quantity. We we will say further, that the
Idea which to some extent has prevailed that
superheateds steam and chemicals are used are or
tlrely erroneous; the process is simplicity itself
and requires no skill beyond that possessed bv
any man Of ordinary intelligence in conducting
the entire operations of the works.
1--WE are aware that there is a general. and
certainly it is a laudable curiosity, on the part
OF the public, that the~process be made known
70 the world, in order that it may be quickly
utilized in mining operations. But the inventor
asks a little further iudu lgence. While nothing

GENERAIIssIMo.- A Washington corresspon-
dent Of the Chicago Journal reports a new plan
by which the nation may retain the service of
President Grant in the event of his retirement
at the close of his present term. This plan is
simply to declare by law that President Grant
should be Generalissimo of the army. This
would at once place hin in the position he held
when elected to the Presidency, with a slight
change in title, SO as not to affect the present
rank of General Sherman. The latter would
still be Gre neral, but the creation of the higher
rank Of Generalissimo would reduce him rela-
lively but not actually. He would remain Gen
eral, with a Generals pay, but would not be the
head of the army. A precedent for this posi-
ton is instanced in the action Of Congress which
created the office for Washington after his retire
ment, when war was threatened with France.
Although the army is a little top-heavy now
with its newly-created Lieutenant General and
General, still, if Grant should retire from the
Presidency, and war should be threatened with
any foreign power, it is not improbable that he
would be placed at the head under some such
title as that suggested.

on the 18th instant, and were continued
five days. The weather was clear and
pleasant during the entire week. The
track-distant from the town 2H miles
was in the best possible condition. No
locality in Eastern Nevada has a finer
climate, or is better adapted to raising
and training horses than Steptoe Valley,
and Cherry Greek has taken the first step
towards establishing a frss-class Jockey
Club and race course. All the business
men of that place, including a number OF
gentlemen from Sun Francisco, having
mining interests there, are members OF
the Club, as is also our fellow townsman,
E. Woodruff. All races are run accord
ing to the rules of the Bay District Fair
Ground Association.

sold in pools.
A very exciting race is to come off there
on the first of January next. Single
dash of half a mile for a Club purse Of
$500, and each horse entered $500, max
ing a purse of So, 900. Charles McPher-
son has entered Frank" Sam Mosler

On the I'd of january there is to be a
Club purse of $500, for "a single dash OF
one mile. N. f. Johnson enters Ar
chic" Bob Lanter enters Granger"
and Sam Mosier enters "Sooner." Both
of the above races are to be run strictly
according to the Club rules.
During the first of the week, the little
son of Mr.. Tunnel, while exercising a
race horse, was thrown and dragged un-
til almost killed. When picked up the
little fellow was insensible, and it is feared
that he u recover.
The Star mine is now in full operation,
with hosting works, and is looking well.
Ed. Raum has shown US some ore from
the head of the drift, 200 feet west from
the 270-foot level, which is indeed very
fine. This property is under the super
intendence of Charley Keeney.

RoBBERY.-A United States express car was
robbed on Saturday last near st. Louis of from
$4,000 to $4,000. The messenger, Charles Kin
kaid, was thrown into a large package chest and
locked up, and the safe robbed of its contents.
Kinkaid was lying on some boxes in the car half
asleep when he felt a heavy hand on his shoul-
der and turning his head was confronted by
masked men, and before he could speak he was
seized by the collar from behind and THIRST into
a large packing box and the lid closed and
locked. When the train reached st. Louis he
was released. Detectives have so far discovered
no clue to the robbers. Kinkaid cannot give a
very COOL description Of them.
