BObbing for Quicksilver.

lJOgiHd cay tNec.) Enterprise.
A pair of industrious and ingenious Ger
mans have hit upon novel method of mining
which is said TO be paying them exceedingly
weli-just how well nobody but themselves
appear to know. They are operating in the
bed oil the Carson river. some distance above
the town of Dayton. Each man is provided
with half-nch iron rod about ten feet in
length. AT the upper end the rod is 50 bent a,
TO form loop or eye large enough To admit
the hand, While at the lower end Is 4 copper
head about a foot in length. shaped like the
head of a soldering iron and weighing some
ten pounds. This head has a large octagonal
bugle in the middle, and in each of its eight
faces is a cavity about an inch i'm depth and
nearly three-quarters OF an inch in diameter
at the top forming sort of tapering cup-the
cavity being hardly half an inch in diameter
at the bottom. Thus it will be seen that i'm the
head of each probe or bob" are eight small
cup like cavities. In working, the men go into
the bed of the river, where there is now very
little water. and selecting place where the
amalgam and quicksilver would be likely To
lodge, as on the lower sides Of powders and at
points where there are sharp curves i'm the
sand, mud, or gravel, as the ease may be, and
then begin churning. As they thus churn the
quicksilver moves towards and into the hole
and either sticks to the sides of the bob" or
Is caught in the small cavities We have de-
scribed. The IDOL" is frequently lifted from
the hole. and cleaned of the amalgam il has
accumulated by means OF a small scraper. The
silver that flows in at the sides OF the hole
when the ground is shaken than for collecting
amalgam. As the river is lower than
ever before known, the men are able
reaching halfway up their legs. In bob
bling" they often work down half a dozen
holes within a space little over a yard square.
This Is in places found TO be rich. Often after
sinking the first or prospect, hole, they
leave and hunt new spOt,-One that will pay
for working. As there are hundreds on hun
river, all OF which contains more or less gold
and silver, the two 'bobbers'' are doubtless
making excellent wages.

Mrs. BAssETT's ELOPEMENT.-On the 10th of
August last George BaSSett. of Newark, was
married to Mrs. John Callahan. They rented
apartments at 225 Pacific street. and for several
weeks lived happily. Then BaSsett began to
suspect his wife. Jason Sidman was frequently
seen out driving with Mrs. BaSsett, but as Sid
man is nearly 90 years of age and she only 30,
their intimacy was attributed to an old time
friendship. But when Bassett returned home
from work on Monday night he found that his
wife had elOped with Sidman, and that she had
taken all of the household furniture away.
On Wednesday night Detective Haggerty ar
rested the runaway couple AT house in Mid
dleville, near Milburn. \. j.. where they had
started an oyster and fish market. They were
arraigned before Justice Dean, i'm Newark.
and sent to the Essex county Jail to await
trial. Mrs. Bassett was married at the age of
10 To man named Hill, who died i'm the army
hospital year after their marriage. In 1876,
she married John Callahan in PENNSYLVANIA.
and after living with him one year at Still
water, n. j., she elOped with another man.
She lived subsequently in several western
cities. When she met Sidman, she says, she
recognized in him an affinity, and therefore
she married him, and left BasSett for more
cOngenial helpmate.-tN. T. Sun, sIst.
