The Mallet Reduction Process.

1t IL stated that Professor E. j.
Mallett, Jr., has perfected and put In
operation. near Rosita, Custer coun-
~, Colorado, q new and novel pro-
cess for the reduction of silver ores,
which promises so to reduce the cost
as 10 throw aside all other methods,
and open to profitable mining low
grades of ores hitherto valueless. As
described by writer from the spot,
to the Boston Journal, the new pro.
cess is substantially this. The ore
to be reduced is crushed by any Of
the ordinary machines, including the
Did Mexican arastra. The crushed
ore is then thoroughly wetted by a
secret chemical solution, and moulded
into bricks precisely 10 size and form
like the ordinary building brick.
These are set up when dried, as any
other brick, 10 the ordinary open
kiln which is fred for twenty -four
hours with moderate expenditure Of
wood. A kiln of 10000 such brick,
was brought to the desired condition
in "a hours, with not more than two
cords of wood, says the Journal cor
respondent; upon the surface of the
bricks were found an efflOrescence of
blue and green crystals, and upon
being broken the interior ext ibited a
series of yellow and red concentric
rings, while all the bricks we're singu-
larly we'll burned tor 80 short time.
These bricks, thus prepared, were
next crushed by the same machinery
used to crush the ore, snd thrown
into great watts containing another
chemical solution, to leach out the
gold, silver, copper and lead con-
tanned. In this solution the mineral
matter is held for four days when the
former is drawn off, and may be used
again and again, as efficiently as at
first, without any loss Of volume ex-
cept by evaporation or neglectful
wastage. When the watts are thus
drained the mineral matter found
precipitated is easily separated, the
silver in excess of the amount shown
by previous assays Of the ores; the
copper in state to be marketed, and
the lead in shape to he cheaply con-
verted into whitehead by process
also recently i. vented by Professor
Mallett. The asserted cheapness and
simplicity of this new process, ii re-
ally accompanied by such results as
are specifically reported, make the
Mallett reduction process the full re-
alizaiion # the dream of the old al
chemists, or virtually the transmuta-
ton of very dIoss into the precious
metals. The method is, however, tou
slow for the rapid and gigantic ope-
rations Of the Comstock, We judge.

$4,000 to 5a5 employees. On the
same day there was draft of forty
men from each shift, making 1870 al.

be permanent, it is said, and was
only rendered necessary at all by the

ANOTHEE, NEW SWINDLE.

The following item is going the
rounds of our exchanges: Another
new swindle has been developed, the
mOdus operandi of which is as follows:
A pack peddler calls at house with
line lot of articles which he offers at
ruinous sacrifices. He makes sale
and goes on his way. The next day
two men drive up to the house with a
printed bill, giving an account of the
robbery of certain store. They
claim the goods, aud usually bulldcze
the purchaser into giving them up. 1t
would be well for newspapers through
out the State to give these sWindlers
the benefit of gratuitous advertise
uent, SO as TO guard their readers
against impostors. People who do
not read the papers would then be the
only sut1erers-and this class, it may
be added. are generally the ones who
are taken in by the plausible rascals.

known 10 our people, for the past six
weeks some OF the most noted detec-
,iycs of the age have been working in
this region, and the dlsentangied
threads of their gathered up clues we

coming of Detective Logan last night
is but small part of the work accom-
plishcd, and was necessary to make
that work perfect.
Mr.. Logan says: L have followed
up this case for nearly three years, and
have knowledge concerning it hich
no other man possesses. l have con-
founded ali the other detectives, with
their clues, and now tlia' Mr.. Ross has
given up this one | take it up. l will
