canvass for TIE Gubernatorial nomi-

Water a Metallic OXIDE.

The success which has been obtained in
liquefying the gases thus far supposed to
be permanent, it appears certain that not
only liquefaction but also qualification
has, been achieved Pictet, in very recent
experiments with hydrogen compressed at
$50 atmospheres, found; on opening the
stop cock, that the gas issued with a noise
like that of hot iron bar under water,
and it had steel-blue color. The jet sud-
denly became intermittent, and then there
les of hydrogen, whichfell with violence
on the ground and produce q cracking:
noise Afterward the stop-cOck was closed,
and there was evidence that crystalliza-
ton of hydrogen took place within the
tube; but when the temperature was
again raised, the gas issued as q liquid.
NJ Dumas, the President Of the French
Academy of Sciences, accepts these facts
as full of confirmation of the theory, long
ago, advanced that hydrogen is a gaseous
metal. AS water is an oxide of hydrogen,
it follows from this that when a person
drinks a glass of water he imbibes a
metallic oxide. Nature, in mentioning
these performances, coup led with them
another, which it regards as yet more
remarkable from. scientific point of view.
NJ. Pictet has been able to measure, with
very close approach to accuracy, the
volume occupied by q given weight of
oxygen ia the liquid state; this was found
to agree with the volume calculated for
the solid or liquid gas, on theoretic con-
siderations, by NJ. Dumas. By means of
two Nicol prisms, NJ. Pictet observed the
jet of liquid oxygen in polarized light, and
found strong evidence of tie presence of
solid particles.
AS in the chemical nomenclature the
final ending nm " has been adopted for
all metals, it is proper to call this metallic
hydrogen "Hydrium," a name which has
already been used by the latest author of
German textbooks OF chemistry, even
before hydrogen had been liquefied or
solidifed.

Advices from Tombstone. dated Feb.
23d, report everything progressing finely.
The grade for the Tombstone Mining
Co.'s mill was all ready, and the ma
chinerv was due on the day following, the
oath. Much delay had been caused by
the tardy arrival of lumber. Plenty of it
had been turned out by the saw-mill in
the Ruachuca mountain, and teams were
then over there for loads. The saw-mill
has been moved up the mountain into
the timber, and transfers have seemed
somewhat afraid to tackle the steep grade
of the road.
Work is progressing finely on the grade
for the new fifteen-stamp mill of the Cor
bin Mining CO., and also on the road for
hauling ore from the mines TO the mills
on the San Pedro River.
The new main shaft of the Contention
mine was then down about sixty feet, and
is a model of mining work tits double
compartment, and will be ready for hoist
ing works in few weeks. The Lucky
Cuss, under Col. Buffum, Supt, and Jerry
Mccormack, Foreman, is being put into
fine working order. Some twenty men
are employed. and every days work shows,
new and rich Developments. The Tough
nut requires only eight or ten men to eX-
tract what ore it is necessary to take out,
and to run drifts and cuts enough for
future stopping operations. In the west
shaft, and drifts running from it, there
is now reported high grade ore enough in
sight to supply ten stamps for year.
The south shaft was down about eighty
feet, and waiting for timber. The Head
Centre and the Wedge have made the
most remarkable developments lately.
The first named has cross-cut through
thirty feet of good pay, which contains
horn silver in quantities to suit. On the
Wedge a shaft, four by seven, has been
put down twelve feet, three of Its sides
being. IN. ore; which has put out twenty
five tons of ore averaging $4,000. Both
Of these claims have been bonded to San
Francisco parties.
A bold rascal had attempted to- burglar
iZe the store of Mr. j. B. Allen, by cutting
hole through the canvas side of the
building, and drawing out trunk which
he supposed to contain money. The loss
was almost Immediately discovered, and
the thief pursued so closely that he drop
ped his plumber and fled. A man named
Henry Pierce was arrested on suspicion,
and on sufficient evidence was committed
by His Honos Judge T. j. Bidwe1l.
