Portable prison and dragged before a
Mexican Court in company with COM
mon thieves and cut-throats Acts of this
nature have been all too common In that
little stru:ting city, and our Government
has always been too Indifferent to the Ques-
tion of enforcing decent course Of fconduct
ON the part of the Custom House officers
there. We do not desire to prejudice this
last case, but must say 1t looks like an un-
justifable act.-Aha.

Only one side of the Mazatlan case has

planation hereafter which may relieve
the action of the Mexican authorities of
that place of portion of the blame We
feel disposed to charge them with. OF
course it is the duty of the Mexican off,
cials to see that their laws are compiled
with and the regulations of the port not
sighted or detied. But there should be a
decent manner in enfo. cling them. Even

Pan or barrel, where it Is charged
with the roasted ore. # is then
heated by steam, and the mercu-
ry Is added. In a few hours the
contents are drawn off into a set.
tier tub, which is also of wood.
When the mercury and amalgam
have sufficiently settled, the con.
tents consisting of ore and brine,
are drawn off into a filter tub.
Here the brine IS filtered out, and
allowed to run through a tub
which contains copper, or mercu-
ry. or both, to precipitate any sill
yer or gold which may still re-
main in solution, and thence is
pumped into another tub to pre-.
cipitate any copper that may be
in solution, and thence to pump

supply tub, for use again in fresh
charges of ore. Any surplus of
brine will overflow from this sup
ply tank to an evaporator for boil
ing or crystallizing the salt. The
ore from the filter tub Is shOveled
into the waste sluice.
In this way the chlorides and
other reagents contained in the
lixivium of one charge of ore are
utilized upon the subsequent
charges.
This, we are informed, Is the
process used at the Ell Dorado
Canyon mill, though with some
improvements suggested by ex-
perience, Mr.. Knox of San Fran
cisco witnessed several tests Of
this process before adopting 1t,
and we hope soon to be able to
report the favorable results Of its
trial by the South Western Min
ing Company.

Amalxamating Chloridized Ores

- NC oOuth.
Amalxamating Chloridized Ores.
Usually, in amalgamating chlo-
ridized ores, salt water has been
added to the pulp in the amalga-
mating pan, and this water, COM
bined with the chloride of sodi-
um contained in the pulp, formed
a brine or saline solution that ma.
terially aided the analgamating
process by holding the compounds
of the base metals in solution,
while the mercury combined with
the gold and silver. Each fresh
charge of pulp is treated with a
new charge of salt water, 80 that
only the salt contained in each
charge or portion Of brine was
utilized for this purpose. It is
now found, however, that. much
better results are obtained by
repeated use of the brine thus
formed, instead of depending
solely upon the salt contained in
each charge of pulp.
The ores of silver are first
chloridized, whether with or
without gold by roasting them in
the ordinary way with common
salt, and they are then amalga-
mated with mercury in wooden
pans or barrels. out of contact
with iron but with copper Innings
or balls, using in the operation
instead of water, the liquors from
previous amalgamation. The
liquors, after the amalgamation
is completed, are carefully pre-
served for use with fresh portions
of the ore previously chloridized
by roasting with salt.
The advantage is thus secured
of a strong brine for holding In
solution the compounds of the
base metals, and amalgamation of
the precious metal is favored
more than can be done with wa
ter or the simple use of weak
brine, which is ordinarily used
with the mercury in working
chIoridized ores for the strong
brine, holding in solution other
chlorides and compounds of base
metals, extracted from the pre-
vious charges of the ore not per-
fectly roasted, and causes a larger
yield of the precious metals than
can be obtained by the use of salt
water, as in ordinary amnlgama'
tion.
This process has been the sub
ject of patent obtained a short
time since through the Mining ana
Scientific Press Patent Agency,
by Mr.. James o. Stewart, OF
Georgetown, Colorado. 1t is more
particularly intended as an I'M
provenent on the Douglas, HUM
& Stewart patent of June Jul,
1874, which differs materially u
course, from the original HUM "
Douglas copper processes. foi

Mineral Park and Cerbat Districts
Mohave County.

This district is beginning to attract
considerable attention and East
ern capital in small amounts II
being invested in property there
The vein deposits of gold and
silver are extensive and of high
grade. They have been worked
for several years in a small way
but the absence of mills and the
remoteness of the locality from
all railway accommodation have
hitherto been obstacles to large
operations.
These difficulties are being
surmounted and the value of the
district will soon be better ap-
preciated.
The best route to Mineral Park
and Cerbat is from San Francisco
by the Sou thorn Pacific Railroad
to Yuma, then up the Colorado
river by steamer three hundred
and twelve miles to Hardyville,
whence a good road of thirty-fivs
miles reaches the mines. This
route in fact gives greater facjli-
ties for transporting machinery
and produce to the mines, and
for sending high grade ores to
the Pacific coast for reduction
that can be found at many better
known mining camps of far less
mineral wealth.
We have been favored by Mr..
Louis Dawson, of Mineral Park,
with the following description:
"This district was formed in
1862, but the Indians were very
hostile, and after many Of the
miners had been killed, the
camp was abandoned. In 1871 a
large party of prospectors came
here and found very rich mines.
This place, about the center of
the district, is situated on the
foot of Sherman's Peak. There
is a perfect network of mineral
in these mountains, and the gene
raj opinion of experts is that the
most permanent mines in the
Territory will be found here.
Among the developed mines are
the Keystone, with shaft of two
hundred feet, and drifts showing
fine body of rich ore, and it is
being successfully worked by a
New York company. The Lone
Star has shaft of two hundred
feet and its ore has'a high per-
centage of gold and silver. There
are also the Fairfield and several
others. Two mines were sold
here last week for $4,000 and $4,000
cash, and everything shows new
life in this part of the coun-
try"
Among the mines now Icing
developed are the Baden Baden,
two miles east of Mineral Park,
The county seat, on a good wagon
road. 1t has cut of fifteen fe 1t
and a tunnel of forty feet on a
four-foOt ledge. The vein is
granite and porphyry with a pay
streak of a foot wide, assaying
$3.50 in gold and $2S in silver per
ton. The st. Louis, next to the
Baden Baden, has shaft thir.
ty feet in ore of the same charac-
ter. The two properties together
form a valuable prospect, as the
ore is free milling, and the whole
ledge, independent of the pay
streak, of high average value.
The Silver mine in the Todd Ba.
sin has shaft Of thirty feet on a
pay streak of five feet in width,
of free milling ore, averaging SIC
to the ton.
The Buel mine Is on the same
lode as the Silver mine, the crop,
pings being over twenty feet IL
width. 1t has two shafts and 6
tunnel. The average milling
value is $50 per ton of ore.
The Fontenoy has two shafts O

A SERMON TO WOMEN.

Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, Of Asbury n.
b. Church, preached sermon to women
yesterday, on the subject "What the
Christian woman can do tor Jesus." He
said that women comprised about two
thirds OF the whole church membership,
and therefore II they we're idle 1t was a
great loss OF the strength of the church.
Women rested under great responsi-
bIlity, as there is much work they can
readily perform which cannot well bs
done BY the men. None eau woik At
home so effectively as the woman. and If
she is unable to reach her own family
surely the minister cannot. Women can
entreat them 10 come to church, aud can
often accomplish good results where men
would fail. She can uphold her pastor
with sympathy and prayer, aud help him
greatly in his pastoral visits, which often
eucroach seriously upon his time. This
10 womau's special held, and one in
which she can acc mpl.sh many good re-
suits.
The christian won All should especially
work for Jesus 10y leading holy lie. II
she consecrales herself to the work, and
lives up to all 1t, duties and require
ments she will doubtless be criticised aud
called peculiar, but she eau afford to be
called peculiar for Jesus" as her COM
fort will BE- sweet and her reward sure.
The highest ambition of the christian
woman should be to so live aud work for
Jesus that in the end the NJ Master should
say OF her, "She hath done what she
could"
The sermon was listened to with close
attention and devident-nj joyment through
out. The attendance WAS very good.

NEGROES AND REVOLVERS.

Razors and revolvers seem TO be ihe
favorite implements of defense of the
negroes, judging from the cases that APP
pear before the Mayor, in which those
weapons play prominent part.
TDis morning Albert Chippey, was ar
raigued before His Honor, charged by
W ii. Handy, with threatening to shoot
him. Handy testified that he was coming
in from Newport yesterday afternoon,
aud he stopped in house to see a person.
He had not been there long, before the
defendant who was in the same house,
commenced quarTelling with him, and in
short time he drew revolver and
threatened to shoot the plaintiff. When
the prisoner was asked if he desired to
ask the witness any questions, he arose
and said: "WIlliam Handy you told one
lie right there" How much further he
would have proceeded is unknown, "a

Special correspondence of the Gazette.
DOVER, Del, Jan. 23.-After all the
talk about the Townsend affair, 1t has
been quietly settled. At the meeting of
the Investigating Committee, yesterday.
Col. Townsend's counsel, said that 1t
would be decided that the proper and
best action that could be taken was for
him to plead guilty. and that he would do
this if the case could be ami cably settled
so far as his bondsmen were concerned,
and in a manner satisfactory to him.
A meeting of the Investigating Com
mittee was held at l o'clock yesterday
afternoon, when counsel for the defense
asked the prosecution TO draw up direct
specifications of the charges against Col.
Townsend. An adjournment was effect
ed until o'clock last evening in order to
time to arrange compromise. BY this
II is intended that Col. Townsend is TO
plead guilty, a. already stated, and that
an open letter directed TO the Governor,
signed by those who petitioned his re-
moval, asking that he be retained in
office SO loag as he faithfully attends his
duties. This settlement is satisfactory to
all the parties engaged in the affair, and
his bondsnen would have been satisfied

They were ready to prove their case after
having made the charges having prefer
red them simply to protect themselves.
THIS turn of affairs has refuted the charge
OF undue haste that was made against
the petitioners.
Only d few formalities are to be gone
through with before the case is settled,
and it is quite probable that the matter
will be decided this morning.
a precedent to this mode Of acti on had
