Salt Lake Ore and Meta. Market.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, January 4.
 Argentiferous lead (base bullion) $40 per ton for lead, SLY cents per ounce for sil. yer, $20 per ounce for gold. The quota. tions for silver are based upon the silver contents in the lead of 80 to 12O ounces per ton of 2OOO pounds.
 The Inter-Ocean's correspondent writ ing under date of the 18th ult, says:
 "The Omaha Smelling and Refining Co used to be our best customer but, like Chicago, St. Louis and Philadelphia, they have dropped out of sight, and their busi ness, seemingly, has passed into the hands of the Pennsylvania Lead company, to whom all these shipments are consigned.'
 We note recent shipment of 246,S9O lbs of copper ore from San Francisco to Liver. pool Mining Journal.

 The foregoing letter is given without any corrections whatever. While it gives an idea of the hor- rible condition of affairs in China, it also shows that natives of that country may become intelligent citizens of the United States. We have plenty of them, of other na- tionalities, who can write no better letters than does Billy King and who are no more qualified to cast an intelligent vote.

It is reported that Padre Borajo the Parish priest of the Mexican towns of Guadalupe and San Ygnacio opposite to San Elezario and Socorro, puchased of an Fl Paso (Texas) firm large number of Remington carbines with ammunition under the pretence that they were for the Mexican government, and that these arms were given to that portion of the San Ele- zario mob that crossed from Mexico. Bo- rajo had clerical charge of San Elezario and SOcorro for many years and obtained unbounded influence over the people of those towns. The recent disgraceful oc- currences are in a great measure the re- suit of his teachings. When removed by Bishop Salpointc he grossly and publicly insulted that gentleman, and advised his parishoners to refuse to recognise the authority of the Bishop.- Mesilla Inde- pendent.

The Army Reorganization Bill.

The Chicago Times Washington special says the House military committee will have the army reorganization bill ready when Congress meets. It will propose thorough reorganization of the staff and, as one member of the committee puts it, "The bayonet will not be hurt much." An investigation shows the staff would not be in much better condition for service than it was in 1881, should war break out. The staff is large enough for the combined ar- mics of Russia and Germany, but is ineffi- cient. It not nnfrequently happens, mem bers say, that paymaster is sent to pay from three to seven, men the pay of which officer alone would be nearly equal to that of an entire regiment on the present basis. Young blood is driven from the army and enters private occupations because the staff, as now organized, prevents any pros- pect of promotion from the ranks. Evi- dently the bill will provide for very con- siderable reduction of the staff but it is doubtful whether the committee, in view of the action of the House already will at- tempt any considerable reduction of en- listed men.

Give us a Rest on Whana Uhata.

Why does the Citizen persist in calling Conelly's mine the Guana- juato when the owners call it the Whana Whata, the Uhana Uhata and other names? It has been in. corporated as the Wana Juata- they knew there was a "j" in it somewhere. There has been such a crashing of cymbals and footing of horns over this location that there is danger of California think. ing that Arizona considers th1s theoretically named mine the big gest thing we've got. Some of us fellows, who have never seen it, are beginning to think it's owners are developing their bonanza with gas rather than with blasting pow der; that they are initiating Den- his Kearney's Workingmen and laboring harder with their jaws than with their hands. We have no doubt it is a pretty good prop erty, but there has yet occurred nothing that gives it rank, even  among our third rate mines. There has been no reason in the Iauda- tory spasms of the Los Angeles papers-unless they got some of the stock. Solid silver from it was shipped to San Francisco in sacks and boXes-and proved to be chiefly manganese and magne- sium. Assays were promised of thousands of dollars per ton-re- suits gave only hundreds. Of two lots,o assayed 13S ounces and the other about 200. Such things hurt the country. When a man tries to interest capital in a really mer1to- rious property, he is forced to prove that it is not another pho- netic Guanajuato. This premature puffing of mere croppings has al- ways injured mining districts. The proper time for blowing and flourish of trumpets arrives when mine has been passably opened, is turning out bullion and has something in sight. Then it is safe to let the the eagle scream little. Putting croppings is like blowing up a bladder; too much imitation bursts the outfit. We have good mines enough to boast of, without wasting ourselves on good places for dumps.

Glass Printing Type.

A new invention has been perfected in Paris-that of glass printing type. This kind of type is made out of hardened glass, and is as hard as lead. They last longer than the metallic; are not liable to be crushed by the printing cylinder; they do not suffer in the least from sudden cooling in stereotyping, and they do not injure the health in handling, as lead types do. In this respect they have great advantage. The atmosphere in printing offices is inn pregnated with particles of lead, and chronic lead poisoning is one of the com plaints of type settlers. All this is obviated by the new invention, which has the merit also of being much cheaper.

Singular Death.
Reynert

The death of John Leuark, at Verde, which we mentioned few days since, oc- cured under peculiar circumstances, as we learn by private letter. He and Benja- min Barney were carrying on blacksmith shop, near Hull's store, on the Verde, and wishing piece of rawhide, for some pur- pose, applied to some parties living in the valley, and obtained hide, which, being hard and dry, they put into the river to soak After it had become soft they cut it up to suit their purpose. Soon after, John Leuark was taken sick, and his arm com- menced swelling, and soon the swelling passed up his arm into hls chest. They sent to Camp Verde for doctor, who came and examined him, and at once pronounc- he couldn't live 24 hours. He died that night.
 Benjamin Barney was also sick and but for timely assistance it is believed, would have also died. He had a sore on his neck which had become infected with the poison.
 On inquiry it was found that the family from whom the hide was obtained, had come from Missouri last summer, and that on the plains, one of their oxen had sick ened and died. Some Mexicans, in the train, skinned the animal and they brought the hide that poisoned Leuark and Barney along. It is said that the animal swelled up to an enormous size before it died- Miner.

 The stock of the company has been dealt in at the New York boards for several years, and as it pays regularly per cent a year, it is looked upon there as, perhaps, a more desirable investment than it will be here. However, there is always a deal of idle capital here seeking a safe and per manent investment and it is to accommo- date such that the stock is now made con- venient of purchase by listing at the Board. It is Gov. Stanford's wish to invite San Francisco capital to join in the ownership of this exclusive Pacific coast property. He has theory that tLe road should be owned here; that it will best serve the in- terest of the coast to divide it up among many holders. He says he and his asso- ciates have built and managed it so that it has become valuable and profitable prop erty, and now they are willing to dispose of portion of it to such as may wish 8 safe and permanent investment.
 The listing of this stock will be great addition to the importance and influence of the San Francisco board, and in view of that consideration alone, if for no other, we welcome it to the list. Central Pacific will be a morning stock, and will therefore figure among the Comstocks.

MlCROSCOPICAL SOCIETY.
Silver from the grasp of a Skeleton

Mr. Hanks presented a slide mounted by him with some samples of silver ore, coat ed with chloride of silver, and the same after treatment with ammonia; also sil- yer globule obtained by assay from 100
 millograms of the crude mineral. Regard
 ing these specimens, MT. Hanks said that there was little in their appearance to lead a casual observer to suspect its character, though an examination of the native silver with the microscope at once reveals its true nature, an1 was most striking exam pie of the importance of our fayorite in- strument in the determination of mineral substances. He also spoke of a very inter- esting fact in the unwritten history of the mine in which the mineral occurs. The Valeria mine, Guijas district, Pima county, Arlzona, was re. e.discovered March 27, 1877, and the prospectors found an old shaft 20 feet deep, from the bottom of which level had been run forty feet At the opening of the shaft lay three tons or more of rich, but what is enormously termed rebellious ore. A mesquite tree, a foot in diameter, was rooted in the pile of ore. On cleaning out the drift human skeleton was found, with copper and stone tools, and near the remains was discovered a pocket in the vein, from which nine or ten pounds of this exceedingly rich mineral was taken.

AN IMPORTANT MOVE.
The Stock of the Central Pacific Railroad Called for First Time fin the San Francisco Board.
From the s. r. Eachanqe.l

TTOm He Q. F. ELCIQnge.I
 As we stated in the second edition of the Exchange yesterday, application was made for the listing of the stock of the Central Pacific railroad at the San Francisco Board. This morning the stock was called for the first time and sold at S5. There have been evidences for several weeks that the rail- road magnates contemplated diversion of this kind in the market. Only short time ago one of their confidential men, Mir. D. c. Yost, backed, it is said, heavily by c. P. capital, established himself in the bro- kerage business, and it is now believed by many that this move was but preliminary to general manipulation of the railroad stock in the marke', and quiet but grad ual transfer of the stock to other shoulders than those of the great railroad syndicate. The gentleman referred to, MT. Yost, was interviewed this morning by an Exchange man, with the view of extracting from him such information confirmatory of this the ory as the journalistic hooks might grap- pie, but he was dumb as sphinx. The reporter saw, however, pile of books, containing railroad statistics by the yard, and from this he inferred that if anybody wanted to buy c. P. Mr. Yost would not refuse to sell it to him. Here are some ot them, and at this juncture they will be found interesting:
 The capital stock of the railroad author ized is S1OO,OOOOOO. Of this there are sub. scrbed $6a,6OSsOO, and paid s54, ,275, ,5OO So that there are now in existence 542,7 ,755 shares, of which it is believed that Stanford, Crocker, Huntington and Hopkins own more than 5OO,0OO shares.
