The Fryer Process.

Speaking of the late successful open
ing and operation Of the Fryer reduc-
ton works at Grass Valley, Nevada,
an account in an exchange, in con
tinuation, SAYS;
The whole apparatus is entirely diff
ferent from anything IN use before, and
consists of Il furnace designed to roast
ut high temperature refractory ores
IN order TO reduce the noble metals to
pure state before amalgamatlon. The
second operation is treating the roast
ed ores in 4 revolving apparatus of
octagon shape, provided with sixteen
cylinders five feet long and twenty
inches III diamater, and equal in Gu
pacity To tlve-stamp battery. Quick
silver, hot water and some cheap chem
ical, vet unnamed, are placed in CylIn-
ders with the roasted ores. The heads
of the cylinders are tightly closed, and
the pulveriZing apparatus is set in mo-
ton at the rate of ten revolutions to the
the minute y cylindrical weight of
two hundred and fifty pounds in each
cylinder falls twice upon the ore in every
revolution, pulverizing it to impalpable
powder, while 1T the same time the
amalgamatiOn is going on. After six
hours Of this treatment the cylinders
are opened and the pulp is elected
through 4 pipe into 4 separator, where
it is met by q powerful stream of water
at the bottom of the separating vat,
which keeps the pulp IN active mo
ton. The amalgam falls into a receipt
acle nj the bottom of the separator,
and the sl:mbs float off at the top
These pass through rotary square
box, provided with copper plates 10

gam, if such could possibly escape
The amalgam is Immediately drawn of.
and retoried and twelve hours from the
time the quartz Is put in the furnace
the result in bullion is obtained, aver
aging from ninety 10 ninety five per
cent. of the assayed value of the ore,
and that effected 1T a very small cost

as the pulverizer is sufficient withOu,

the visitors rs the machinery started.

and Mr.. Hall, the President Of the

were both warmly congratulated at the
magnificent success. There was but
one sentiment heard, namely, that a
revolution in mining had been inaug-
uratcd and the busy times Of California;

Petition for Mail Service.

We are in receipt of u copy of the
following petition, with u request for
its publication, viz:
SPRINGERyILLE, GAvAPAI COUNTY,
May 10, 1876
TO THE Hon. III. 5. STEVENS, VI. G. :
Whereas, by an Act of Congress, OF
March %, 1876, pOstroute was es-
tablished from Camp Goodwin, Ari-
IONA, via Camp Apache. Springerville
and BaditO 10 Fort Wingatc, New
Mexico.
And whereas, the time necessary to
secure signatures to a petition 10 the
Postmaster General, praying that ser
vice be put on said route Immediately,
cannot at present be spared, owing to
the lateness of the Congressional sea
son.
And whereas, the necessity of i'm
mediate service is so urgent, it is deem
ed sufficient by majority of the resi-
dents of this place that a certified state
ment of the Census Marshal AT present
taking the census of the county, ought
to be sufficient evidence, corrOborated
by yourself, to satisfy the Postmaster
General of the necessity of immediate
service.
Therefore, our Delegate in Congress,
Hon. II. 5. Stevens, is most respect
fully requested to lay this petition be
fore the Postmaster-G General and To use
all honorable means within his power
to secure a favorable recognition Of the
same.
The following is the statement OF the
Census Marshal:
l hereby certify that there are 500
people, mot including persons in the
military service at Camp Apache,) re
siding on or near the above mentioned
postroute, including (only) Camp
Apache, Springerville and BadIto.

Our readers must remember that

an outrage TO make any oral agreement
involving large public interests, since
there Is then no official record accept

rights Of the respective parties are
that Cachise and his tribe might reside
at Chiricahua without subsection to
any military supervision. General
Crook, receiving official complaints
from Governor Pesqueira of the raids
into Sonora, went To- the reservation
and ordered Cachise to bring up all his
men TO roll call every morning, accord
ing to the plan in use and considered
indispensable for safety on all the res

was protected by treaty not only
against such military supervision, but
that General Crook was violating the

The Telegraph.

I The San Francisco Bulletin in state
ment summarizing Geographic con
struction between San Diego and Santa
Fe, has the following:
4 About II year ago Congress appro
priated $50, 900 20 be expended toward
closing up the gap between San Diego
I California. and Santa Fc, New Mexico,
+. and Lieutenant Philip Reade was
charged with the responsibility OF per
forming the work General Pope,
commanding the Department of the
/ Missouri, detailed three commissioned
officers and one hundred enlisted men,
with fair complement of army mules
.. and wagons, To assist IN the work Al
/ that time the line was completed and
in operation from San Diego via Fort
] Yuma, crossing the MariCOpa Wells,
! Arizona, distance of 400 miles. There
/ We're also two branch lines completed
one from MaricOpa Wells north To
Camp Verde. 80 miles east of Prescott.
Arizona, 200 miles in length, and the
other south from Maricopa Wells to
. Tucson, Arizona, $50 miles.
( To build from Tucson To Camp Grant
and Camp Apache, thus uniting
all the military posts and connecting
the Indian reservations, was the first
duty devOlviIg upon the officer in
charge He visited the field of opera
tiuns with the $4,000 at his disposal
and entered upon the task before him.
70 connect Santa Fc, New Mexico,
with the nearest point in Arizona hav-
ing electric communication required
the building of $50 miles through an
almost uninhabiled and in many places
a desolate country. After a careful
survey and reconnaissance of all routes
supposed TO be practicable, Lieutenant
Readc selected a route from Santa Fe
following the general COURSE of the
Rio Grande, and commenced planting
poles and stretching wire early i'll Sep
TENDER, 1919.
The working force was divided into
three parties, each party in charge of
commissioned officer Since last
September, 40 miles of telegraph has
been constructed, equipped and placed
in operation. The operators are enlist
ed men of the Signal Service corps,
who have been trained in a knowledge
OF their duties. There Is still gap OF
200 miles, but the remainder of the
appropriation, if no part of it is used
to repair the old line to MaricOpa
Wells, may be sufficient TO connect
Santa Fe, New Mexico, with San Die
20, California, and thus unite all the
military posts of Arizona, New Mexico
and California by an electric chain.
The settlers ON the frontier and along
the oulposts rendered the builders ey-
cry facility for prosecuting the work
with energy. Many of them placed
at the disposal of the Government Of
ficers laboTcrs for cutting and teams
for hauling poles. The inhabitants re-
gard the telegraph as the furerunneri
of civilization, and hence haIl the pres
ence of the construction parties with
pleasure In New Mexico the settlers
subscribed sums of money To enable.
contractors to make low bids for poles
without sustaining pecuniary loss.

IT is the practice in California to tax
government lands, selected and enter.
ed bv settlers, as property before title
has accrued 10 the occupant. Waving
anv discussion of the policy of this
practice, it lie sufficient to show that
the taxation of such lands is clearly
illegal. and can not be ultimately en-
forced. The Commissioner OF the Gen
eral Land Office states the whole queS-
ton very succincily in the closing
paragraph of an opinion lately render
ed, as follows: The right to tax
lands carries with it the right To seize
and sell them on default of payment.
For these reasons am of the opinion
that the right To tax lands OF the Unit
cd States. selected and entered under
the Homestead Law, does not accrue To
the State until the expiration Of the
period of residence and cultivation and
until the final proof required by law
shall have been made and approved,
and the final Homestead certificate
issued to the claimant" San Diego

THE San Francisco papers are quot

the "Cozzen Coloniss" in Arizona and
hypocritically sympathizing with them
and advising them to come to California
Let us say to these cOlonists and to any
colonlsts in the east intending TO come
to the Pacific slope: Beware of Cal
ifornia and more especially San Fran
cisco. Break up your colony Organiza-
tons, and if you must come west,
come sIngly and come to Arizona and
if you can't do better in Arizona than
you ever could III California, you had
better move right back east. If you
take your colonies to California, you
will not only have worthless lands sold
to you at ruinous prices, but you will
be swindled out of the balance of your
money and if you stop around San
Francisco long you will lose what lit
tie principle you may have and degen-
crate into the average anti-coolIe hood
lum. Don't go there. Arizona is on
the eve of most brilliant financial

hard and suffer for a while and get
fixed so as to make a bigger fortune in
i've years from nov than you could in
a lifetime in California.
