TREATMENT FOR LEAD AND
MERCURY POISONING.

Our workers in lead and quicksilver
will be interested in the following,
from Iron: To a Belgian professor,
NJ. Melsens, the Paris Academy OF
Sciences awarded, last April, the prize
of el00 founded by NJ. Angel de Mont
yon to encourage the invention of pro-
cesses for diminishing the risks of I'M
wholesome trades. This prize was
decreed to NJ. Melsens for his method
of curing and preventing lead and
mercurial poisoning. The report Of
the committee appointed to examine
into NJ. Melsens' process is as follows:
Thirty years ago Prof. Melsens
pointed out iodide of potassium as a
mean for successfully com batting the
ill effects of lead or mercury on the
human body. Experiments under
taken in conjunction with Prof. Guillot
confirmed the results first obtained by
M. Melsens, who has since for a long
period been pursuing his investiga-
lions and experiments.
Considering the saturnine or mer-
curial affections as being due to the
presence of metal in the organs which
are the seat of those affections, Nj.
Melsens administers graduated doses
of iodide of potassium. The noxious
metals are, by the action of this drug,
carried away in the urine in the form
of double soluble iodides. NJ. Nielsen
also advises the use of the iodide of
potassium as a preventive in cases
where men are exposed to the effects
nf tnah-6HSf or marelrlxI nInanafinnS
Numerous experiments in the course
of 80 years have proved the practical
value of this system of treatment.
Workmen affected with lead paralysis
have been cured; others, who were
unable to follow their calling from
their liability to saturnine collie, have
been enabled to take it up again, for
titled by a regimen of which a dose of
iodide of potassium formed a part. The
result of the observations made at
Brussels and Lille, and the letters and
certificates sent to the Academy, leave
no doubt on the point.
The action of the iodide of potas-
stun, according to NJ. Nelson's idea,
is a purely chemical one. 1t consists
in determining the metal rendered in
soluble by the formation OF some al
luminous compound to take on a So
luble form by the creation of a double
iodide removable per riam urinarfam.
Whether this is the case or whether
its action consists in determining by
destruction the evacuation of the NOR
bid tissues containing the fixed metal,
it is not the part of the committee to
determine. 1t is sufficient that the
author of this process has fully sue
ceeded in diminishing the danger of
certain mining and manufacturing OPP
erations.

Insurance Paid.

We are glad 10 note that the insur-
ance on the property of Geo.. l.. OFT,
destroyed by the late fire. has been
promptly paid. Ben. C. Levy, the
resident agent, yesterday received a
check for Mr.. OFT, amounting to ST.
400, in payment in full of the policies
of the latter, issued by the following
companies: Commercial Union, OF
London, $3.50: American Central. of
ST. Louis. $500; Merchants. of Newark,
New Jersey. $3.50. Total, Sl,400. The
fire occurred July 9th, and the check
for the loss bears date July 18th, be-
ing only eight days from the time OF
the fire to the date of adjustment.
This is unusually prompt work: and
speaks well not only for Mr.. Levy,
but for the companies which he so ef-
ficiently represents.

Distinguished Arrivals.

Professor Rossiter w. Raymond,
formerly United States Commissioner
of Mining Statistics, and author of a
series of able reports on mines and
mining west OF the Rocky mountains,
and Professor Sterry Hunt, of Har-
ward College, a distinguished geolo-
gist, arrived in Eureka yesterday after
noon by special train. They come in
the interest of the Eureka Consoli-
dated Company, and will make an ex-
animation of the Ruby Hill mines
with a view of testifying as to the geo.
logical formation at the approaching
trial. Professor Raymond, in his re-
port for 1871, p%rophesied that the then
new discoveries would be among the
most permanent on the coast, a pre-
diction fully verified and proved by
the developments of the last eight
years and the present outlook of the
mines on the great mineral belt. The
distinguished gentlemen will be the
guests of Superintendent Donnelly
during their stay.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWN.
ING.

Dan. Green has been employed for
the last two years at the Richmond
furnaces. Matters being dull here he
concluded TO go East with the view Of
trying his luck among the copper
mines of Lake Superior. Yesterday
morning was the time set for his de
parture. Dan. is a %convivial mar
and was popular with his fellow
workmen. Monday evening he and a
party of friends who desired to see
him of on the 3 o'clock train, conclud-
ed TO have a little parting among the
saloons, m so all hands turned loose,
making things lively and having a
good time generally. When the hour
for the departure of the train arrived
the party started for the depot. Get
ting down about the Consolidated
works, Pat. Burns and Mike Kelly
were a short distance ahead of Green
and Henry Daley a short distance be
hind him. Mistaking the lights of the
Consolidated furnaces for those OF the
depot, Green made for them and went
headlong into the pond which sup
plies the furnaces with water. Burns
and Kelly were not conscious that any
thing had gone wrong, but Daley,
who was bringing up the rear,
heard a noise in the pond and
upon closer examination discovered
that the noise was produced by a
drowning man. He instantly, aud
with much GOODNESS, plunged in to
rescue the unfortunate, who ever it
might be, not dreaming the meantime
that it was one of his own party.
Raising the head of the drowning mar
above the water he called loudly for
help. This attracted Burns and Kelly,
who Immediately came To his assist
ance. Green was brought to the sur.
face with life almost extinct, but Wig
orous rubbing and other appliances
restored him to consciousness.
He was too i'll and weak to proceed on
his journey, and so he and his trunk |
were brought back to the International, |
rooms were taken until he shall
have sufficiently recovered to resume
his Eastward trip. He will probably
be able to leave within a few DAYS. He
had a very narrow escape from drown
ing, and but for the fact that Daley
was in the rear of the party it is highly
probably that he would have lost Lis
life.

Official Report with Comments.

We are In receipt of the Londor
Mining Journal of June Both. The
stock of the Richmond at that date
was quoted at s3O@S32 80 per share
The Journal says: "The managers
report states hat the westerly discov.
cry (the first body met With had been
opened out to the extent of 80 feet in
one direction by ID feet in another, the
cross-drift Of 80 feet being in low-grade
ore for the first 80 feet, and in very fair
average quality for the remaining 20
feet. The westerly main drift started
from the main shaft at the 500 foot
level had been run 2i0 feet, and at that
distance ore was again struck, which
appears to be part of the same ore
body discovered in the rise at $50 feet
east of the point in question. The
Wine sunk below the 500 fl. level drift
was down 90 feet, the bottom being in
limestone with occasional stones of
g~alena. The 600 and 400 westerly drifts
were in a sufficiently forward state to
allow the former by a rise and the lat
ter by a winze of making connection
with the westerly ore body now proved
to the height of 100 feet. The effect of
these works is to establish the fact of
the existence of a large irregular body
of ore in the westerly ground; when
the ventilation is effected the probable
extent at the spot reached will be more
easily a~seertained. The explorations
in this direction are reported to be
very favorable, but the amount of ore
actually developed can not as vet be
very large. 1t is stated that the trial is
only definitely fixed for July sd,
but that, by arrangement between both
parties, the case is TO be tried on the
inerits-that is, that all tho questions
in dispute will be settled by the judg-
ment given, SO that the decision will
be a final one. save that each party
Will have the right of appeal to the

Gus stocks being nearly all worked up
at the time the accounts in question
were taken, there remained little to
value except the bullion in its various
stages-namely, in gold and silver
bars, lead refined and in its crude
state. By the time the balance. sheets
reach the shareholders it is probable
much of the bullion estimated

All Aboard.

"Ruby Hill" is a familiar cry on the
streets of Eureka, and the small bows
have learned to initiate it to perfection.
1t is the signal of Mac, who runs a
two-horse vehicle between Eureka and
the Hill, for the accommodation of the
miners and residents of that locality.
The Dayton stage, over in Virginia
City, has gained notoriety from the
tact of its always carrying a deck load
of seco Midland furniture, and il is a
proverb among Virginia residents that
the debris OF bankrupt lodging houses
and broken households finds its way
by stage to Dayton. Our institution
initiates it in II respect-enormous
quantities of furniture finding it's way
10 the Hill by stage, but the articles
are always spick-span new; no old
broken down bedsteads or dilapidated
chairs finding a market in our prosper
Gus suburb. Nothing less than marble
top, black walnut or rosewood, suits
that locality. Mac. engineers his pop.
ular line in tirst-class shape, never
misses a connection or fails to reach
either terminus on schedule time.

Accident.

One of Sweeney's buggy teams, en-
gineered by Mott Smith, of the Turner
House, was overturned in the neigh
borhood of the Silver Brick Restau-
rant, on South Main street, yesterday
afternoon. The driver escaped with
out serious injury, but the horse, be
coming entangled in the harness, pre-
cipitated himself tn the ground, throw
ing his stifle joint out OF place. Swee'
ney had the assistance of a dozen
or two amateur veterinary sur
geons in the operation of replacing
the joint. and an astonishing amount
of anatomical horse knowledge was
displayed by the by-sianders.

Either party may appeal from the

Washington. The winning party in
the San Francisco trial, however, will
be at liberty to go on with tie work of
extracting ore from the disputed ter
ritory.

Street Distractions.

There is much complaint among cit
liens as to the numerous street OBJ
structions that cumber the highways
and byways of the town. Old dry
goods boxes, whisky barrels, piles of
wood, and a general assortment of
lumber that ought to be relegated to
back wards or utilized for kindling
wood, adorn the thoroughfares. On
the south end of Main street a pile of
cordwood intrudes on the highway to
such al extent that it is almost impos-
sible for teams. 1t is the intention to
present all parties maintaining these
nuisances before the next Grand Jury,
unless the distractions are removed
before that time. "A word to the
wise" etc.
