SILVER HILL.-Sinking the main
incline is going steadily forward, the
bottom in hard blasting rock. The
east drift AZ the 900 station is being
pushed rapidly ahead, the face in
clay aud porphyIy. The indicati Ms
IN this DRIFT lead to the belief that i
will not have so far to run as the
drifts on the levels above To- reach the
ledge. The north and south lateral
drifts on the 800 level are each max
ing good progress, the face of the
Soyth drift showing some very favor
able quartz. On the 900 level con
nection has been made with the JUS
tice mine, giviax the best OF ven,iIa-
ton to, that depth. The entire north
end OF ahe ore vein on this level Can
now he. developed Without further de-
lay or trouble. Sinking the ~inze
below the 900 level in. south crosscut
No. 2, has been stopped for the pres
.ent and u drift is being run from
the bottom Of the Wine to crusscut

The Air Jacket Furnace.

A new style Of smelling furnace
IS being erected for the Eureka Con-
solidated Company, known as the
Gerrish smelling furnace, which is
lined with copper instead Of fire stone
and the jacket is supplied with air
instead of water. The Euro ka Senti-
mel obtained from the inventor his
tory Of its discovery and the novel
features. We condense as follows:
The use Of copper lining vas dis
covered by accident at the Great Cliff
ton copper mines, Silver City, New
Mexico. In running small adobe
furnace, the proprietors had expend-
ed a large sum experimenting with
f1re-proof material, and had found
nothing that would stand the intense
heat for more than four days. Once
when hole was burnt through the
furnace just above the tuyere it was
stopped for the time with a slab of
copper, which remained fixture.
Acting upon this hint, small copper
bars were used instead of brick to
line up above the tuyeres. These il
was found would melt down to about
one inch in thickness, and then stand
for al indefinite length of time. AZ
terward the plates were cast one inch
thick, and they proved a great sue
cess. The men complained of the
heat after the adoption Of the copper
plates, and in removing one Of the
wind pipes from the turyeres Mr..
Gerrish held the nozzle on the plates
and found that it cooled them as
quick as cold stream Of water. This
suggested the air jacket. The FUR
mace is constructed on the same prin-
ciple as u water jacket, air beiag used
instead Of water. In the former a
certain amount Of heat is waste d
heating the water, but in this fur
mace the air, after being heated, passes
into the furnace to assist the smelling
processes. The great principle Of
smelling is heat, and anything that
saves heat is an economical element
10 its operation.
The one now being built at the
Eureka Consolidated will be of 65
tons capacity for twenty-four hours,
and will be ready to start about the
1st Of May.

silver coin that is 1900 years old, and
another one that Was issued in the

can copper cent dated 1920, and
other rare and ancient pieces Of cop
