MARvELoUs.-To any person un-
accustomed to estimate the immen-
slty of operations on the Comstock,
the details will seem marvellous. Last
week the daily ore product of the
producing mines was Ais tons, hard
flinty quartz. permeated with the
precious metals in minute particles.
This great quantity is reduced to i'm.
palpable powder every day by the
action of thousands of stamps, run
through amalgamating pans, and
carried away in the shape Of muddy
water, only leaving behind the few
hundred pounds of gold and silver.
And the milling capacity on the lead
IS sufficient to reduce perhaps 500
tons day more than at present pro-
duced. Con. Virginia, a few months
ago was producing about two hun
bred tons per day more than now.
And there is a considerable amount
of ore from the small mines being
constantly reduced that is not en-
tered In the reports. For instance,
the Hope mill is now running on
Buckeye ore and there are doubtless
other cases of which we have not
heard,

The Electric Light i'm Warfare.
from the London Globe, june 49,


The adoption Sof the electric light as a
means of Illuminating the path of ships at
sea during the night has, as we, recently
pointed out, been followed by the applica-
ton OF this powerful illuminating agent to
the purposes OF naval warfare, and some Of
our iron-clads have been fitted with lights
and rejecting apparatus, which viii! be OF
great service in protecting them from such
night attacks by torpedo-boats as those lately
made on Turkish iron-clads in the Black
Sea and the Danube. The Russian Govern.
ment, it seems, are turning their attention
to the uses OF the electric light as an lllu-
minator for military purposes. In some, ex-
periments recently made at st. Peters
burg, with the special object Of increasing
the distance to which the light produced
BY electricity may be thrown, it was found
that the power OF the light is greatly aug
mented by covering the carbon burner with
a thin sheet OF copper. By this means the
celebrated Alteneck lamp was made to in
crease the power OF it light from 1920 to
1926 candles, and even this great power
was raised to that represented by the light Of
2O,275 candles by slight alteration in the
position CT the carbon and its cover
ing-yiz., by turning; it toward the direc-
ton of the object required to be lighted. 1t
was found that this light was sufficiently
powerful to render, objects visible at night
at distance Of over 5000 yards. These
results show that the Improvements now
being made in the system Of electric light,
or the lime-light, as it was originally called,
are likely to have an important bearing on
the condition OF modern warfare. To "a gar
rison provided with two or three such SEN
tinels night-surprises would have no fears; ;
and in the arts OF peace the vivid and easily
controlled light thus produced will have
still more valuable results. i.

A discovery OF mineralogicsl importance
and possibly Of archaeological value has been
made in Morayshire, Scotland. a company,
believing that there was Q rich vein OF lead
at Stottield and Lossiemouth, began to sink
a shaft, and they soon struck rich ore.
While making some other excavations the
workmen came upon the walls OF bouse
about twelve feet below the surface. The
walls, built of undressed stone, were three
feet thick, and the building contained large
quantities OF lead which had been stored
there by the ancient workers Of the mine.
There is no localtraditionwhieh might give
a clue to the solution OF the mysterious
s.fnd.'''. butit 'issnot improbable that the
working Of the mine had been stopped by
some influx from the ocean OF the loose
sand which, within historic times even, had
covered so many acres, of the lananear the
sea of what was once, called the Province
of Moray. Some support to this theory is
given by the fact that at the south end OF the
subterranean house there is a m ound OF
sand more than twenty feet high:

slider that almost every SHIP loading here
