CNPARALELLED.- remains of Dr. C. r. Winslow have, during the twenty-four days intervening between his demise and their final disposal, undergone variety of treatment that probably has no parallel. The body was frozen. the heart was taken out, the remains eyiscerated and embalmed, and finally cremated.
 The cremation of the body of Dr. (. F. Winslow was ConSumatcd last evening as eN- pected. X large crowd was attracted to the ground. There were no religious ceremo- nies on the occasion, in conformity with the peculiar views which had been entertained. in life, by the deceased. Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Smart and General Bane made remarks. eulogistic of the character of the departed. and on the superiority oG the cremation pro cess of disposing of human remains over ordinary burial.
 The time occupied from the placing of the body in the furnace till the reduction of the whole bulk. to three pounds eight and halt ounces of ashes, was two hours and thirty five minutes.
 During portion of the time. while the process of cremation was in progress. the air Tn the vicinity of the furnace and consider able distance from it was filled with DOW erful stench, which was strongly suggestive of the adviSability of having such cclcmO- nieS attended to in a different place than the center of large city. The top of one of the surrounding mountains would be more suitable. for what Gen. Bane called " this beautiful cremation, this magnificent purliicatlon. -Deserct News. Aug <.

MEXICO AND THE PRECIOUS METALS

Gold being found in the virgin state in alluyial deposits. and easily worked. was the chief mineral treasure of the AstecS, who made little use of silver because of the slight knowledge which they had of the means of reducing its ores. But when the Spaniard. Bartolomco Mirada, discovered the great use to which quicksilver could he put in reducing silver ores, gold became subordinate in production in Mexico to silver. which has remained the staple metal. | In the first half of the sixteenth century, the silver mines of TaSco. Sultepec. Tlalpu- iahua and Pachuca were developed by Cor tcz and his successors. Then came the gradual development of the great mining districts of Guanaiuato, San Luis Potosi, ZocatecaS and Durango, but it was not until tho eighteenth century that those mines be- came famous. According to Humboldt, the Neta Madre Mother Neinl of Guanajuato, had yielded one-fifth of all the silver in the world at that time, having far exceeded the Peruvian mines of Potosi.
 During the last century, up to lSl0, the Veta Grande of Zacatecas frequently pro duced as much, yearly, as $3,000, ,0O0 and the mine of Catorce tSan Luis Potos0 yield tu fAo','NVsVVu uulihS 'u NtsdS. u "HN the war of independence which put check upon the silver mining of Mexico. The mining code of that country. handed down from the Spaniards, is the most elaborate in the world. It is estimated that up to June
 1875, the total production of the mines of Mexico, had been $500, 100000, with a total coinage of S3,U63, ,6600GS. of which not more than per cent was of gold. Of late years, gold has been found in alluvial deposits or placers and in the water courses in many of the States of Mexico. The cop per ores. in which the country k very rich, generally carries gold. Unquestionably, were the great veins of Guanaiunato and San Luis Potosi worked upon the scale of the mines of the Comstock Lode they would still produce results such as made them SD famous formerly y.- Mining Review.
