Red ,clng Refractory Ores.

Ii is well known fact that this State
abouuds in mines, the ore from which
could ua be worked heretofore on account
of the rebeIlious matter ley contained
/ Io cA hIfvwu also that these ores con-
tanned a large percentage of gold and
silSer, hut Notwithstanding experiments
without number have been tried from time
to time, with a view to separating gold
and silver from the base metal, all efforts
in that direction have proved failures. At
last, however, Il system has been discovered
and patented by John A. Robertson, of
Oakland, which is known as the Electric
Process, which threatens to reyolutlenize
of ores which were heretofore regarded
as worthless. Experiments Ell small
scale were made with the process some
time ago, and the results were so satisfac-
tory that within short time extensive
works, for the testing of the principle on
a large scale, have been erected in Sacra-
mento, at Thirty-first and j streets, ad-
joining Clark's pottery, and their working
has been so successful as to warrant the
proprietors in the expenditure of large
sum of money to carry on the business.
The process is very simple, and the OBJ
ject is to perform in single operation
what has required two or three operations
and much time to effect in the process Of
extracting precious metals from rebellious
ores-that is to say, by thoroughly desul-
phurizing the ore and bringing the pre-
cious metal TO a condition to amalgamate
freely, aggregatiug the same and freeing
it entirely from the influence and union
with the basa metals.
To effect this object there is placed
vat or receiver of sufficient capacity to
hold the ore of the most convenient quan.
tity-say one ton-and immerse the same
in quantity of water sufficient to cover
it, The required quantity of salt to make
thick brine, or as much as can be held
in solution with the same, is then used
adding thereto about one-half pound of
cyanide of potassium, and one-half pound
of sulphate of copper, forming a solution
of salt and cyanide of potassium in the
above described manner. The ton or 9TH
cr desired quantity of ore is slowly heated
to red heat, and afterward plunged
while redhOt, into the aforesaid solution,
the ore being broken up to about the same
size that is broken for milling. By bring
ing the ore III contact with the solution it
becomes entirely desulphuriZed.
The entire operation of desulphurizing
and migrating the quartz and sulphu-
rcts IS almost instantaneous
! Iron pyritcs aud sulphurets generally
are reduced u Il very fine tour or almost
impalua5ie powder, and the quartz is Sc dis
integrated, that it may be readily picked

little rubbing that it may be readily pre-
pared for iamalgamating in an ordinary
amalgamating pan.
The action OF the cyanide of potassium,
in connection with the sulphate of copper,
cleans, brightens, and immediately pre-
pares the precious metals for amalgama-
ton with the quicksilver no matter how
fine and impalpable the same may be.
| The solution composed of the above
| ingredients, and the manner of treating
The ore previous to its beng brought in
contact with the same, render the oper-
alton of extracting the precious metals
from the ore very simple and efiectual
and accomplish it in a very short time.
The works adjoining Clark's Pottery
have capacity Of ore ton per hour, the
cost of chemicals will not exceed 81 per
ton and two cords of wood will run the
furnace twenty hours.
Such is the excitement which this new
discovery has created that Oflate numbers
of mining men from San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Shasta, Ell Dorado, Placer and
other counties have visited this city and
thoroughly inspected the workings of the
new process and its wonderful results for
themselves.
Among the samples were lot from
what is known as the Gold Deposit of Ell
Dorado county, seven miles from Placer
Vile, from which nothing could hereto.
fore be obtained. By the electric process
however, this ore yielded about $4,000 per
tor, and so favorably impressed are the
owners Of claims in that vicinity with this
invention that several carloads are to be
sent down and worked at an early day.
Meadow Lake ores, than which none
more refractory were ever known, have
also been successfully worked and made
to yield handsomely by this process.
One pound of sulphurets from Green
wood, El Dorado county, which was
worf2cd here recently, which ore had been
heretofore regarded as worthless, yielded
81 sec per ton, and many other similar
Illustrations of the success Of this new
process might be quoted.
On Wednesday last a cleanup was had
of the working Of one ton OF ore from the
Washington mine, Mar.pOSa county, anu
the resGlt was yield of $50 per ton,
while at the mill only 50 or 50 can be
saved by the chloridization process.
From q pound of refractory ores from
Auburn test by the new process yielded
gold button the size of large pin-head.
Negotiations have already been entered
into for the shipment of large quantities
of ore from various localities to this city
for treatment by the new process, and in
few days the works will be started up to
their full capacity.
At Sweetser q Alsip's office, on Fourth
street, between and K, can be seen the
first bar ever produced by this process.
The ore was from the Enterprise mine in
Mariposa county, very base, and at the
mill only $13.s5 was saved. Nine tons of
ore were worked by the new process, and
the result was yield of $50 per ton.
Some OF the gold was kept for small spec
linens, but the bar, which is about 315x2
inches in size and ~ inches thick, is
valued at S44S.
The discovery is wonderful one and its
ultimate benefits are incalculable. .-Socra-

Castle Dome.

Far beyond the Deserts sands,
In tabled diamond lands,
There wondrous mountain stands,
That towering Castle Dome.
'Tis about that mounteiE old,
Many stories you'll be told,
How the shining king Of gold
Has that castle for his home.
You see il from each highland,
You behold it from the plain,
'Tis like signal island,
For the sailors on the main,
\ land mark for those regions,
With outlines bold and grand,
And many are the legends
You'll hear il that wild land,
About that weird old mddntain,
With sombre clouded shadow,
That pictured Castle Dome,
Of Rio Colorado.
In fictions fields SO fairy,
I've built my castles airy,
Till mind refused to carry,
The imagings it wrought,
And the wildly running brain
Had forged and endless chain,
With no ending in the trim
OF its ever grasping thought.
Then halting, have pondered
Of the tancies of the mind,
Till the spirit wandered,
Seeking spirits of its kind,
Unto that shadowy distance
That ofttimes is so seeming,
As 'twere new existence
We fancy in our dreaming;
When earthly tolls and sorrows
Are still on the rivers side,
But the soul hath glimpses over,
To white shore beyond the tide,
But in the widest soaring
In romantic fiction's field,
Mind had never figured
What mine eyes did behold,
Meath that castelated Dome
Where earth herself had seated,
The home of her great king,
The Royal King of Gold.

TO ambitious Democrats
Sealed proposals will be received
by the Chain man Of the Democratic

The person who pledges himself not

sponsible place, is expected to be

Tho person thus putting head
on the ticket, will be required to
make it perfectly plain that the
Democratic party Of Wisconsin has
always been q hardmoney party ;
that it never adopted Fond du Lac
platform in 1877 that it never was
at Fond du Lac !; that the so-called
Democratic platform Of 1877 was a
malicious Republican lie; that the
Democrats have always been In
favor of good national banking
system; that they never said the
bonds should be paid in greenbacks;
that they never declared in resolu-
tons or said in speech that the re-
sumption act shonld be repealed !;
that they have boldly and vehement
lytdenounced the assassination OF the
Cbisom family and the murder OF
Dixon and that they have never
oondoncd the frauds Of Cipher

The successful applicant for the
leadership of the party, will be re-

Murder.

Last week the body of man. dead
several weeks apparently, was found
some twelve or fifteen miles east of
Beatrice, in some tall grass half mile
from the Brownville road. There
were marks of heavy blows on back
of the head and front, breaking the
skull, being evidence that another
murder has been committed. There
was nothing on or about the body in
dicating his name or where he was
from. The following description. 1t
is hoped will lead to bis Identification,
and to a solution of the mystery now
surrounding the case: No papers
were found upon his person to estab-
lish his identity, but an almanac of
1879 was found, which he had pro-
cured at the drug store Of Galloway &
Helm, RavenDa, Mo-, and In a coat
pocket was a little package of salt
in which was mixed a few kernels
of corn and few spears OF hay, indi-
eating that he had been travelling
with a team and had raked the salt
out of the feed-box for future use.
Nothing else was found except a
black-handled knife containing q
large and small blade and having one
small blade broke out. 1t was plain,
however, that he had carried watch
in his right vest pocket. for the mark
Of one was there, and the edge Of the
pocket had been worn by chain.
His clothing consisted Of the follow
ing articles: A brown and white
striped drilling shirt, dark coat and
vest of one material, mouse colored
jeans pants, homemade. brown drill
ling overalls, homemade gray WOOL
en- socks, and a long blue infantry
overcoat. His hat was black and but
little worn, and he had on heavy
plow shoes, both of which had a
heavy long patch on the inside of the
sole; and the shoe-strings were cut
from buckskin. This description may
lead to his Identification, and we hope
our exchanges will pass it around.
Sunday after the body had been
stripped to be clothed for burial, the
Initials "H. @. V" were discovered on
the inside of the right arm near the
wrist, and these furnish the only clue
to his identity. His height is five
feet eight inches, and he was very
muscular, broad-shouldered man. He
wore a,full beard, and both beard and
hair were a dark brown color; but
the birds and the mice and the wealth
er had so worked upon his features
that not a Iineament was left.
Nebraska advertiser., 1879-03-06

A Lincoln letter, In the Omaha
Ne,0s, speaking of the great men OF
the Nebraska Senate, has the follow
ing slobber regarding the Senator
from Nemaha:
One significant fact in support of the
claim advanced by HOwe's numerous
friends that he is virtually the lead
ing spirit of the senate is that every
one of the important measures which
he has sided with has proved to be
successful. In the subject of railroad
legislation this has been especially
marked, and it was through his efforts
in this respect that the conservative
policy which common sense dictated
was carried out. Among other meas
ures which have been decided to a
great extent by his cooperation or OPP
position may be mentioned the fol-
lowing: The reduction OF the delin-
quent tax penalty, the rsfunding of
taxes on school lands. the title Of
which vests in the state; the extern
sion of the insane asylum, the reduc-
ton of the capitol appropriation to
SIS, 900, the bird law, the reduction of
rates of interest and the reduction of
the powers of agents in loaning mon-
ey and the defeat of the proposal to
cut down the provisions of the home
stead law. These are all popular
measures, and are about the only
things sofimportsnce accomplished by
the senate. In fact 1t is manifest that
Howe has been acknowledged the
leader OF the party In that body from
the start, and has virtually shaped its
policy all through. No measure has
come up but what his advice has been
sought and his influence courted, and
although he has had hand in all the
deliberations of the session, he leaves
Lincoln with q clear record. Probably
there is not a more generally popular
man In the State; that rare faculty of
treating all alike, of being hail fellow
we'll met everywhere and of having
a reputation of never failing to fulfill
a pledge, having his word as good as
his bond, have all conspired to pro-
duce this result. Tt is needless to state
that Church Howe stands a better
chance of political promotion to-day
than any man in Nebraska. and we
expect the future to veri-
fly this prophecy.
