The working OF the iue dust at the
Lennon mill is progressing very fav-
orably. The proprietors find no
trouble in extracting the silver and
lead, but the gold contained in the dust
has az yet eluded the process. This
trouble Is laid 10 the coarseness of the
article, and it is being run through the
sample mill at the Consolidated works.
II is thought that by grinding it to the
required fineness all of the precious
metals can be saved. The rooster is
working well, and the pans, concen-
traitors and agitators, although OF an
old-fashiOned pattern, are doing much
better work than was anticipated.
Some trouble has been experienced
with the machinery, its long disuse and
necessity of adapting it to the work
causing some delay. The firm are
very much encouraged with their ex-
periments, and have no fears of the Ill
innate success of the enterprise. The
importance Of the new process. in the
event of its success, can hardly be Ok
aggeratsd, adding, as it does, IL per
cent. to the value OF every ton of smelt-
ing ore extracted from the mines of the
district.

ESPECIAL TO II SENTINEL.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.
Judge Heydenfelt opened the case
for the plsintif in a speech Of three
quarters Of an hour. The principal
legal question advanced by hnn was
that the Richmond lode could not be
followed on its dip by the defendant
outside Of the end lines Of the Rich
mond, Tiptop and Lookout patents. He
contended that II this point could be es-
tablished. all tie exrert testimony
given In the case would be immaterial.
Ii the plaintiff had concluded to rest
their case upon this proposition in the
outset, the evidence on their part need
not necessarily have lasted five min
utes. The arguments i'm support of
this position were ably advanced and
supported. Tie argument of Colonel

tween the plaintiff and the defendant,
and contends that the southeast end
lines of the Richmond and Lookout
patents had been established as the
definite and determined boundary be
tween the parties. He then proceeded
TO make an able and exhaustive re-
view OF the evidence in support of tine
geological theories advanced by PLANT
i'll. Colonel Thorton spoke until a
quarter past four, when the Court adj
journed. The principal points aimed
at in his argument were that the bar
rem spot between the Champion and
Richmond did not necessarily imply
there was a ledge or assure in that To-
cality, but that the existence OF oxide
OF iron as proven to nave been found
in the limestone wherever opened up,

THE WORK OF THE EXTRA SESSION
I'm. Y. World.1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-There Is
concurrence OF opinion among the SEN
ators aud members Of Congress who
have been In the city during the past
few days, engaging quarters for the
winter and looking after their depart
mental business, that the extra session
will be confinea. ma.:iy to the purposes
for which 1t Is called, viz: the passage
OF the bill making appropriations for
the army for the present fiscal year and
providing for the deficiency 10 the pay
Of the navy. The proclamation con-
vening the extra session, 1t Is true, does
not suggest any limit to legislation;
but the delay always incident to
will defer the consideration of
the appropriation bills quite two weeks.
For many years past ten days have
elapsed, after the Speaker and other
officers Of the House are elected, before
the standing, committees have been an
nounced. There is no reason why their
selection could be made earlier now, for
there are quite as many new members
elected to the Forty-fifth Congress as
there were to the Forty fourth, and at
least the usual time will now be required
to enable the Speaker to ascertain the
qualifications OF members for the vari-
GUS interests represented on the COM
mittees. This would bring the real
business Of the session into the last
week in October. The army estimates
are ready to be submitted, and the Com
mittee on Appropriations will be met
with the direct question as to whether
the army is to be continued on it's pres
emit footing, Or still further reduced, or,
as Is urged In some quarters, BIZ in
creased by the addition Of two COM
panies to each regiment.
The fortunate decision OF the Presi-
dent in accepting the Democratic policy
that the army shall not be used to in
terfere in Southern political affairs has
Of course removed all opposition from
that quarter to the army appropriation.
The questions of the immediate future
will turn, therefore, on the maximum Of
the rank and file OF the army as apple
able to the necessities Of the Texan and
Indian borders and the dependence Of
the State governments upon it for the
suppression Of local Instructions.

A STRIKE PROBABLE ON THE LAKE
SHORE ROAD,
IN. Y. Herald.l

CLEvELANB, o., Sept. 20.-There Ia no
special change in the situation on the
Lake Shore aud Michigan Southern
RAILROAD relative to the prospective
strike. The employees continue to hold
numerous. suspicious consultations in
groups. which are checked the instant
an official approaches. They have not
yet announced the time for the holding
OF the large meeting which cannon, the
ex-boss striker, advertised with great
bluster. 1t is understood, however, that
they are having nightly gatherings Of q
secret nature at Collinwood. Men who
are out on the road one night can per-
haps be present the next evening, and
30 Gil are accommodated.
A talkative raiaroader said to-day that
the men would wait until as near the
close OF the lake navigation as possible
before striking. The ringleaders are
evidently endeavoring as much as prac-
ticable to organize the men Of all divis-
ions, securing from them such strong
pledges OF firmness in their course as
to. prevent their falling out by the way
side.
General Manager Newell informed
me to-day that the company had lived
up to the deter of It's agreement In his
opinion, and there would be no change
whatever. The company evidently
means business, and another strike can
not but prove extremely disastrous to
the participants.

he is in sympathy with the wing of the

doing government clerks and the news

Of plan. The eruption Of departmental
clerks upon Ohio is now to be made ia
the form of grand excursion, which
will probably be chaperoned by Sher-

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

NEw York, Sept. 2o.--A new line of
steamships will be placed upon the
route between this port and Venezuela
early next month. There will be two
vessels, one of twelve hundred tons and
another of eleven hundred tons. De-
partures will be made from New York
every seventeen days. Venezuela will
extend unusual facilities to the enter
prise. The steamers will be free from
all port charges In the ports of Vene-
zuela and will carry the mails. A sub
sidy OF $4,000 q month, payable from the
revenues of the government, has been
granted to the line. Hitherto the trade
has been carried principally by sailing
vessels.
