AFTER KING.

AS might have been expected, The re-
cent remarkable lecture of Clar-
ence King is eliciting much
criticism from the scientific world.
The old school Uniformitarians
are particularly severe on him.
This is the way the Engineering and
Mining Journal, Professor Raymond's
paper, goes after him:
Mr.. King says this school, the Uni
formitarians, is '.especi ally fond of OBJ
jecting to catastrophes on account of
the vast force necessitated;" and re-
plies to this objection, which he calls
''singularly fallacious," in a
little less than astounding, by the
truism that absolutely identical ex-
p~enditures of energy are required to
elevate a continent or depress IN ocean
basin given distances, whether the
operation is instantaneous or infinitely
SLOW" So the expenditures of en-
ergy are identical, whether Mr.. King
carries a sardine- box in his knapsack
to the top of Mount Whitney, or
throws it up from the base before he
starts; yet a subsequent tourist, lind
ing the box (minus the sardines, of
course) on the summit, would not
form u "singularly fallacious " judg-
ment if he should conclude that it had
been carried there, and not thrown up
from the valley by a catastrophe op-
Grafton. IL is, in fact, Mr.. King who
is guilty of a singular fallacy" in
supposing that time has nothing to do
with the local development and trans
ference of energy.
These old-school scientists adhere 10

theory with remarkable tenaci v. A

fury is the utmost they will tolerate.
Their faith in the permanency of real
estate might possibly have been
shaken if they could have witnessed a
few months ago the jumping of water
lots fifty feet at a jump along the coast
of South America. With people on
this coast, where things appear TO have
been turned bottom side up at no re-
mote period, the ideas of Mr.. King
will be received with general favor.

Pioche and c

Geo. C. Johnston, the popular livery
stable proprietor OF Phoebe. is spend
ing a few days in Eureka, having
brought over w. w. Bishop and fami-
" from that burg. He informs us that
times are improving at Phoebe, and the
wonted lively aspect. He thinks that
the late discoveries in the Raymond &
Ely and Meadow Valley mines are
permanent and will eventually devel-
op into large bodies of paying ore.
MIR. Johnston is also interested in
Leeds, and has recently returned from
a trip to that camp. He says that
times are very dull at Silver Reef
aud vicinity. a number of claims
have been taken zap and are held
by parties who will not allow chlorid-
ing on their locations; consequently
the boys are out of work and have to
turn their labor in some other direc-
ton. The little five-slamp mill is do
ing good work and has been "a paying
institution from the day that it started

on the river has not as yet justified

would be probably worked, but as
yet little has been done. The projec-
tors of the mill built it without hav-
ing an adequate capital TO go on, and
IN its completion found themselves
financially embarrassed. They are at
present in the East negotiating the sale
OF the property, and it is hoped they
may be successful, as the town needs
an influx OF fresh capital and energy.
There is a large number of idle men at
the camp waiting, Micawber- like, for
something to turn up.

judge he would strip equal to Heenan

THE JACK son MINE AND FUR
NACES.

Superintendent Shaw is at present in
San Francisco negotiating with Squire
p. Dewey, of tie Hamburg Company,
for the lease of one of the Atlas fur
naces. Ii he secures one of them on
favorable terms it will lie started IN
on Jackson ore Immediately on his
return. If, on the contrary, a salts
factory contract can not he procured,
il is probable that the company will
tear down the Old Jackson furnaces at
the mouth of Goodwin canyon and re-
build a smelling furnace of the latest
and most improved pattern. When
the old furnaces WERE first built and
run, patent bottoms were not used,
and it is calculated that enough base
bullion leaked away and is deposited
in the ground underneath the old
works to more than defray all the nee
essary expenses of rebuilding. The
company had an offer of $500 for the
privilege of extracting this waste bull
ion, which they refused, and there is
no doubt but that At least $40 ,000 will
be obtained from this source, an
amount that would &c far toward pay
ing the expense incurred in erecting
new works. The body of ore recently
discovered on the $50 foot level is of a
very large size and increasing in ex-
tent as explorations are carried for
ward. There is enough ore in sight to
keep a fiity-ton furnace constantly
employed for a year to come, and from
the appearance of the vein at that
point there is every reason to believe
that other ore bodies OF equal dimen-
sions wiz be met with as the work of
development goes on. The bonanza
partially exposed on that level is Of a
high grade, assaying from $50 to $40
per ton, carrying a large percentage of
lead and of a free smelling quality.
The jackson will oon step into the
front ranks OF the many good mines
of Eureka District and distinguish it,
self as a reliable bullion producer.

The Malanloras.

The Matamoras furnace is in full
blast under the able superin,endence
of A. w. Atkinson, and is adding It's
quota to the bullion yield of the dis
trict. The firsttwenty-fou hours run
yielded 20 bars of bullion, which will
be increased to about double that
amount as the furnace gets warmed
up to its work. Its capacity is about
% tons of raw ore per day, and there
is enough material on hand at present
TO keep it at work for thirty days.
The mine is yielding handsomely. the
ore extracted being of a high grade.
The works are carried on very econo-
mically, the furnace not costing so
much to run in proportion as the
larger mes of the Eureka, Richmond,
Atlas and X X. Only one feeder, one
Stag wheeler and one smelter are EN-
ployed on a shift, and about 600 bush
els of coal are used daily. The works
will undoubtedly give a good accoun
of themselves, and return a handsome
profit to the enterprising owners.

RICHMOND CONSOLIDATED.
Comments From Beyond the At
Iautic.

The London Mining Journal of July
18th is at hand. Richmond was quot.
ed at e6% to e65s per share. TIE
Journal thus alludes TO the mine and
the suit: The managers report states
that the ore discovered at the end OF
the 500 drift has been opened on 40
feet in length and IL feet i'm width, but
the ore so far as seen is of low grade.
but he adds his opinion that the ore
now seen is the top of al ore body on
which they were preparing to- sink,
when he anticipates an Improvement
in grade. The rise in the first wester-
ly discovery has been continued to a
Junction with the 400 drift. The No. 2
rise was up 25 feet with low grade ore
in back. A cross-cut from the end OF
the 500 driit "a being driven to cut
the ore which is dipping over the DRIFT
in hat direction. the 600 drift being
in hard ground has not yet reached
the Wine sunk from the 500; the ven-
tilation. therefore, is not yet complet-
ed. Everything else is at a standstill,
awaiting the coming judgment.
Professor Whitney, the eminent
g~eologist, has been engaged as a wit
ness by the Richmond Company, and
on Saturday, last was at Eureka with
Clarence King, examining the mines.
The suits to be tried are plants in
equity TO sustain the interim i%njunc-
lions the Eureka Consolidated have
on the one Part against the
Richmond Company, and the latter on
their part against the former. IL is I'M
10 he by mutual agreement
between the respective parties that the
issues involved will be settled by
the decision in these injunction suits.
Within a few days of the coming 23d
the judges will probably give their
award. 1t is stated that the
are in the hands of the auditors, who
nearly completed their investiga-
ton.
