As regards the iOrm in which the silver was ad ded, Professor Silliman says that the metal in the sample analysed ny him Was spongy, in gray powder, and generally in the con- dition in which silver appears when reduced by zinc.

Small pox at Las Vegas, New Mexico.

THERE has heretofore been a great diversity of opinion on the advisability of planting alfalfa on levees in the tule land. Some en- tertained tEe belief that it was ne- cessary to strengthen the embank- ment with the strong, penetrating roots of some plants, and that al- falfa was the most suitable plant of the purpose. A great many miles of levees in this county, re- marks the Stockton Independent, have been soWn with alfalfa under this suppOSitiOn. but from what we can learn from observation and hearsay we are inclined to think that the presence of the alfalfa ins- tead of being benefit to the le- wees is decided injury as it att tracts gophers, the most tireless little pests, that spend their time in boring holes through the en- bankments. They love the alfalfa roots and will infest the levees on which alfalfa grows. A gentleman who recently visited Rough and Ready Island informed us that in places the levees were completely honey-combed with gopher. When hign water comes they will strain the water like sieve. - Bakersfield Courier.

We have noticed that many of our exchanges, in speaking of WOhave county spell it Mojave. The latter is the Spanish spelling Of the name, and Camp M0javo is officially known as Mojave. But in speaking of the county, MOhave is the correct spelling, as the name is so spelled in the act creating the county, and so appears upon it's records. So with Hualpai and Wallapai. Camp Hualpai. in this county, was recognized by that name by the military authorities, but in organizing the mining dis jet. which is named after the WaIlapai Indians. the miners en- acted that the district should be knownas Wallapai district. There was, at the time, considerable dis cussion as to the OrthOgraphy of the name, but it was finally decided to discard the Spanish spelling and adopt a phonetic English one. In this they succeeded, with the exception ofthe last syllable, which is pronounced pi and spelled pail Miner

An exchange says: "Ifthe Turco- Russian war goes on much longer every we'll rgulated newspaper office will be obliged 10 have re- lays of editors to keep the run of the movements of the armies. The Russians are receiving heavy reinforcements of generals with unprOnOuncable names, who get killed or wounded on the least prOvocation. The armies are fight ing battles thst apparently have nOend, at places which have never figured on map or gazetteer, and which are neverspelled twice alike by telegrapher or printer, and ev- cry skirmish is magnifed into a great victory for both parties with reiterated details of advantages gained by each, that distract the journalist who really seeks tO'give intelligent accounts of the opera tiOns. Should this state of affairs continue, as a measure of safety, it may become necessary to make a bonfire of war maps, and send out cruisers to cut the ocean cables." Wegave it up some time ago feel. ing that our readers like ourselves would be satisfied with the iinal result.

Text and Sermon.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean take these words Of President Haye as text:
 We do believe all good people every where desire reconciliation that The laws are to be Obeyed, anC that the rights of each and every citizen should be respected, what ever his race or color.
 And this is the sermon that i breaches thereon
 Doubtless this is true, but, i ttue, where are the good people ir the south to compel the ObServ anCe of these rights |? Let us leave high and sweet sounding phrases about unity for moment, and come down to solid facts.
 Since the policy of triumphing by love has been inaugurated Webber has been killed in Louis. jana for being Republican. Since the good men there eX. pressed desire to respect every. bOdy's rights,a Republican senator has been shot and a cOiOred post master prevented by furce from assuming the duties of his office.
 Since the era of love was inau- gufated the Chisholm family have been asSasSinated in Mississippi d political nassacre exceeding in cold bloOded atrOcity any crime known to our anuais.
 To-day, with the policy of con- ciliation in full force, United States senator is practically a fu- gitive from the state, and will return to his home only at the risk of his life.
 Watching with beating hearts the effect of the let alone policy of con ,iliatiOn in Georgia, we See a constitutional convention repeal ing all the safeguards adopted under a Republican regime, and the leader of the convention pub. licly declaring that the colOred vote must and shall be wiped out, or controlled absolutely by the Democracy.
 Turning 10 South Carolina we behold dozens of Republican rep resentatives driven out of the legislature and their places sup piled by Democrats, while the promise made to maintain the schools there for the education of the blacks is being shamefuily violated.
 We admit the lion seems peace. full at present, but is it not because he is glutted with his favorite dishes, and has nothing on earth to fight? A lion that wouldn't be peaceable under such circum- stances would be a very unreasOn- able animal indeed.
 We mention these things, not so much to show the President his mistake as to warn hiru about being too sanguine as to the re. suits of his policy. IL would doubt less be a very excellent thing to have all the people good and have them all believing alike. Possibly it may be very bad thing to go on, striving to maintain intact the party of Lincoln, but we fancy a worse thing would be to wake up some fine morning and discover that the scheme of blessed unity had proven a failure, and that the Democratic party, retaining still thatambitious spirit which parties are liable to possess. had come in through the uUguarded door and occupied the land.

NO. 8.
From Engineering and Mining Journal.
 Arizona and New Mexico,

The Northern King shaft is 137 feet deep. A drift running east from the bottom is showing fine ore. On the Southern King very rich ore has been struck at a depth of 63 feet.
 On the Aztec property much surface improvement is being made, and underground the mine is also looking well.
 The Zalida mine now shows 26 inches of fine carbonate ore, aver- aging over $100 per ton. Develop ments are going ahead steadily. It is regarded as the coming mine of Arizona.
 The excitement over the Jaca- rilla placer mines (N. M.) has ma- terially subsided, but explorations and work have not ceased. About $50 miners are on the ground, and are doing fairly we'll.
 Another rich discovery is report ed from Humbug District (Arizo- na) in the Isabella. A good body of high grade ore has been uncOv- cred near the surface, and eXtend- explorations will be begun imme- diately.
 The Tiger property is to be work ed. $10,O00 has been put up by California to test it's capacity. If the results are favorable, the mine will be operated steadily. Hoist ing works are already on their way to the mine.
 A recent ''manager's'' report on the Aztec contains the following paragraphs:
 "The work on the cut has been pushed ahead. We are in now 7S feet, about 40 feet only 3 feet deep; the other 3S feet is driven in from the start on a level, and is now s feet deep in the face. Width of cut 8feet. Will drive on the level the whole 80 feet, and attain a depth of about 17 feet at the north end. This north end stops immediately at the apex of the highest crop pings. The vein, apparently, is pitching south. Streaks of black manganese and iron ore are com- ing in abundantly, showing some mineral. The whole cut is in vein matter.
 Since my last report two men have been sinking an irregular shaped prospect hole on the nOrth- ern portion of your property. The vein carries metal from the top down now 8 feet, in the bottom we have feet five inches solid mineral. I have sent you 12 lbs., taken from all parts of the vein. A shaft is sunk on the south wall. The width of the vein I cannot tell exactly, the croppings indicate 12 to IS feet.
 The Peck company has purchas. ed a complete ten stamp mill in San Francisco, and is now setting it up at its mine.
 Gro Blanco district, Arizona, is opening remak ply we'll. The Alaska, Louise, Warsaw, Ostrich and Santa Cruz are the most prom ising veins. Some capital has re- gently gone into the camp, and it is likely that the results will be good.
 The workings at Clifton continue to bring to light enormous quan- titles of copper ore. H. Lesinsky & Co.,. who are working the mines, employ 50 men and are turning out bar copper regularly. It is estimated that over 10000 tons of ore in sight. The body of ore is 30 feet in width. In spite of the low price of this metal, and the great distance of these mines from mar ket, they have been and are highly profitable.
