NEW APPLIANCES.

NEW APPLIANCES.
The new invention of more perfect ap-
planes for saving the precious metals
are having marked effect all over this
coast. Not only are districts being taken
hold of and worked now, which but
year or two ago were entirely ignored on
account of the baseness and low grade of
the ore, but old mines, which for similar
reasons had been abandoned, are now
being further explored and worked at a
good profit. How many "old Cali
fornians" can remember the prophecies
of other "old Caliiornians" in early days,
when they noted with fear and trembling
the great influx OF miners, that in ''ten
years from now there would be no min
ing done in the State; the mines would
all be worked out" How is it to-day?
There are many more miners than ever,
and ten years hence we have no doubt
there will be ten times as many more,
because we think there will constantly be
added new and better appliances for ex-
tracing the precious metals at much
greater profit than now. Can any
one compute the vast sum to be
saved yearly by the new process
of Mr.. Fryer, who is said to work any
ores up to ninety per cent. of its
valueP If this is so, look at the noun
tains of silver and gold which will even
tually be worked, but are now given the
go-by on account of their baseness and
low grade. The most intelligent miner
can scarcely conceive the great results to
follow the introduction of such valuable
machinery for reducing ores. We sin
cerely hope that Mr.. Flyers machinery
is all that is claimed for it, and that all
mine owners and capitalists will lend
him all the aid in their power in making
experiments. Such machinery will cre-
ate the most wonderful revolution in
mining, and consequently is worthy of
the most profuse outlay of money for its
perfection. 1t may be that he may not
succeed, but it is by no means certain
that he will fail because so many others
have. II he has started out on what
there is good reason to believe is the cor
rect principle, he should not only have
the benefit of the doubt in his favor. but
the benefit of capital to carry out and
perfect his plans Panamint News,

How MAJOR GENERAL Mcpherson WAS
KILLED The general public, as we'll as
General Sherman, know nothing of the
circumstances under which General
Mcpherson met his death in that hard
fought battle before Atlanta of July 90.
1t has been reported that he was "mur-
dered " by the confederates. The facts
are as follows: He had gone to the front
of his line of battle expecting the pro-
lection of his skirmishers, but they had
been captured, and while passing along
crooked road through dense woods, he
was suddenly and unexpectedly in close
proximity to the contederates, so near
was it that Captain Richard Beard,
whose command was at this road, "pre-
sented " his already drawn sword, and
the General mechanically as it were,
took oil his hat. He turned his horse
immediately, without word having been
spoken, and was making to the rear rap
idly when corporal of Captain Beard S
company fired, and the gallant McPher
son fell to the ground on the face and
knees, shot through the heart. This
command moved Immediately to the
front, land was very soon captured,
leaving the body untouched; but in this
instance, as was customary. men in the
rear rltied the pockets and took the boots
OIL his feet. For further and more
minute particulars, | refer to Captain
Beard, now of Murfreesboro, Tennessee
"a son OF that distinguished theologian
Rev. Richard Beard of Lebanon, who
gallant in war or in time OF peace, will
cneeriully give any further information
OF winch he may be possessed. G, s. A.
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CoURTEsrEs
Nothing could be more grateful thar
the treatment bestowed upon the repre-
sentatives of the Southern Army who
went to Boston during the Bunker Hill
celebration. They were overwhelmed
with courtesies and honor and every evi
dence OF kindness and fraternal feeling
The effect of this has not been lost upor
the south. Governor Kemper, of Vir
ginia. has given public expression to thi
feeling, and he regards the treatment b,
