Painting has commenced; color chocolate-regular rail. road shade. They will prime all the build. ings first and then go over them again.

From these openings have been taken some POO tons of ore, now lying on the dumps. Large quantities have been sold for tIsrsl DtittE tt C.tt district, where it is used for luxing the rich ores there. The ores are chiefly galena, rich in lver. The Virginia mine, late discovery in the same vicinity, is being vigorously prospected by pr. Goodwin for himself and Judge Porter.

PROF. RICHARD gives us a short descrip. tion of the lixiviation process, which will be of interest to miners. It is the process he proposes to use in working the Aztec ores. After the ore has been crushed to proper fineness, he roasts it in cheaply constructed furnace of his own invention, At the latter part of the roasting he uses about half the quantity. of salt usually em. ployed. The pulp is then boiled in a strong solution of salt and protochloride Gf iron, better known as the Hunt < Douglas liqui1." This dissolves Ou' the copper and silver. The latter is thrown down from the st lution by putting the soup into wooden vats, in which are pieces Of clean copper; the silver then settles to the bottom as black powder. The not snlu- tion is then transferred to vats containing scrap iron, upon which the copper becomes deposited. The precipitates are then melt. ed into ingots and are ready for market. The copper thus obtained is remarkably pure and secures the highest market price. The silver goes 800 to 96O fine Graham's pamphlet. elsewhere mentioned, gives the whole thing more explicitly About 500 pounds of iron are consumed in precipi- tating ton of copper. This iron is taken up bS the liquid and regenerates it us 8 protochloride for further use.

FOLLOWING the invention of the Telephone comes that of T. A. Edison, New Jersey, which records speech and re- produces it audibly, even after the lapse of many years: The vibrations Uf sens- tive diaphragm, to which is attached il cutting point, make notches in strip of paper of depth varying with the force of the vibrations. When this strip O. paper is passed under another simple apparatus, the notches produce a vib ation in another diaphragm, which exactly reproduces the sounds that made the n0tches in the first place. A detailed description of this wonderful invention can be found in the last number of the Scientific American, for sale at Geo. Martins buok and drug store.

THE MOST STRIKING ADVANTAGES

 1st. ITS CHEAPNESS-The cost of it: erection tor royalty and frei''ht) not exceed ing $500 for d capacity tv roast and chlO rid.ze twenty tons per day, viz: brick work 5000, and iron work, including blower, $500
 2d. Short time required for erection, viz If days after providing all material, with $ sutficiency of labor.
 3d. No expensive heavy or complicated machinery being necessary, involving heavy height to the district where it may be required. Brick and clay, generally ob tainabe on the spot, being the chief mate. rial required in its construction. 4th. No skilled labor or technical expe. rience IS necessary to work it, two ordinary laborers being sufficient to attend to il when in full operation.
 5th. It does not easily get out of order, and is readily repaired by an ordinary mason or blacksmith when it does.
 9th. The royalty, or license to use it, is exceedingly moderate, removing thereby all temptation to evade or infringe the patent.
 7th. Calculating labor at B per day, and wo, d at Sd per cord, the cost of roasting is but little over $1.50 per ton (ex-salt, when chlorid zed,l at these high California rates for labor and fuel.

 This case was peculiar The Grand Jury first indicted him for murder in the second degree, claiming to have done 80 under advice of the district attorney, whose idea seemed to be that by indicting his man for everything, he could convict him of something. Then, learning that they have nothing to do with the degrees Uf murder, they indicted for manSlstghier. This indictment was badly drawn up. Then the court instructed the district at tOrncy to stand up and move to quash his own indictment Then the grand jury took another turn at it and the court ap- pointed E. B. Pomroy Esq, of Tucson, to show the district attorney how to draw up an indictment And now comes Lange's attorney and moves the court to quasli that indictment, because it was altered after Pomroy and the grand jury got through with it. Lange plead not guilty and the case is passed ill Dec. 10:
 The United States Court fined one man $15 for violating Internal Revenue laws and sentenced Brophy and Sutton to five years imprisonment, robbing the mail. to which they plead guilty. They were first tried for robbing the mail and jeopardizing the life of the driver. Powell and Goodwin defended them and hung the jury. John Mantel, the alleged detective was also indicted for the same offence. Col. B. c. Whiting, of Los Angeles, was employed to come down here and assist the prosecution of the robbers. The con- duct of the trial of Sutton looked as if the only business on hand was to determine whether John Mantel was stage agent or road agent. Sutton still claims that Mantel got Ed. Bowers money.
