A lot Of eighteen pounds of Peayine
ore (from the Golden Fleece minel
recently submitted to the Fryer proces:
gnve return Of S54 90 per ton in
gold and silver, there being only
SO 4a gold. The value OF the bullion
was 81 23N per onnce-S1 II 53-I0O
and G 20-l00 cents in gold thero being
no base metnl whatever in it, proving
as conclusively as possible that the pro.
cess makes clean sweep of all tho
baso metal. This orc, although rich
and giving excellent assays, has always
heretofore defeated every effort made
for its successful reduction. lis COM
binntionB Of minerals iB one of the
most stubborn on the coast to overcome.
1t seems, however, to mike no differ
ence with The Fryer process, tho orc
working with the same ease md
successful results as the free ores OF
tho ComBtock.
Augustus Ash of this city hos received
the appointment Of United States Mar
shsl for this State, in place of Clamp.
who resigned. GUS will make a
good and efficient officer, and all who
know him will be glad to hnil him as
"Marshnl Ash" He received uolif-
cation OF his appointment through q
dispatch from Senator j. P. Jones
yesterday.
A PRINTER is the most curious being
living. He may hnve q "bank" and
"quoins," and not be worth a cent;
haTo ''smnll caps" and have neither
wife or children. Others may run fast,
but he gets along swifter by "setting"
fast. He may be mixing impressions =,
without eloquence, mny uso tho 'lyo"
without offending, aud he mny be tel
ling tho truth; while others cannot
stand while. they set, ho can ''set"
standing, aud do both at the same time f;
may have to use furniture, and vet
have no dwelling; may sh6ke and put
away "pi," and never soc O pie, much
less eat it, during his whole life; be a
human being and q "rat' at tho
same time; may ''press" q great deal
and not ask n favor; may handle n
"shooting-iron" and know nothing
about cannon, gun or pistol he may
move the clever" that moves the world,
and yet bo as far from the morning
globe as hog under mole hill;
spread 'sheet8" without being O house
wife; he mRy lay his form in n "bed''
aud yet be- Obliged to sleep on the
floor: he may use the dagger, without
shedding blood and from the earth han
die "stnrs;" he may be OF q '.rollinp''
disposition and still never desire 10
travel; he can have a ''sheop's FOOT
and never be deformed; never without
lease" aud know nothing Of law OF
physic; be always correcting" his
''crrors," and growing worse every day
havo 'em-braccs" without over having
tho arms Of lnss thrown around him;
have his ''form locked up" and al
the saIno time be far from Jail, watch
house, or any other confinement. he
might be plagued by the "doyil," and
yot be Christian OF the best kind. 'i
From Gentleman who has Just mr..
rived from Tybo, We lenrn that tho Ty.
DO Company's furnace is turning out
about five tons dnily Of bullion, which
will average from $500 TO $500 pei
ton. During the month Of November
the net profits Of tho company wore
S2l 900. In December the furnace wa.
closed down until the 18th, but during
the remainder Of the month the works
cleared upwards of $4,000, and ap
pearnnces indicate that tho prescn
month will make still better showing
The company has contracted for go,
00O bushels of coal, and as there Is nj
scarcity Of Ore tho furnace will no
close down again until IL has 10 b.
cooled oit for repairs. IL IN the intcn
tior, upon tho opening Of SPRING, e
start another furnace, as thero is aI
abundance OF ore TO koop IL running =
