al reputation. Mcclellan telegraphed
the President, "Hancock was superb to-
day." an expression which all who saw
him towering above his men, leading
them to battle, knew to be only just.
HIS SERVICE IN THE PENINSULA.
On the 9th Of June, 1862, Hancock,
who was then at Golding's Farm, in the
Peninsula, received q severe attack from
the Confederatcs. He repulsed it and
continued the fighting far into the night,
the contending forces firing Mt
each other at close quarters in the dark.
This battle Of Hancock's was one of
the grandest spectacles OF the war,
and will never be forgotten by the
Army of the Potomac. On the 2Sth of
June, 1862, Hancock was heavily engag
ed at Garnett's Hill, as he was at Savage
Station on the 29th and at White Oak
Swamp on the 30th. His troops fought
four battles in as many days.. and in
every one of them were led by Han
himself and could not tolerate it in
others. An officer who had his men in q
tight place rode up to the General and
said: General, my men are all being
killed; may not withdraw them little
out of the fire ?"
NO" replied Hancock, II hope we
shall be able to advance soon."
"Then we shall all be killed." de-
spondingly replied the officer.
Every wcll,' said Hancock "return to
your troops, and if you fall you will have
the satisfaction of knowing you have died
for your country"
For his services in the Peninsula CAM
paign Gen. Mcclellan recommended
Hancock for promotion to the rank of
major-gcncral of volunteers and the
brevets Of major, licutenant-colonela and
colonel in the regular army.

Protection Gf Mineral Lands.

The Secretary of the Interior has rendered a decision that whenever, prior to paterting, it is discovered that land previously offered and entered as agricultur. al iS really mineral in its charac
 ter, the entry must he cancelled and ihe land reserved for entry under the laws especially appti- cable to mining lands. The issue was presented by the case nf Smith ScOggin vs. Culver ct al. involving tract of 2.000 acres of ianh in Camden (Arkansas) dis trici, which was purchased from the Governm mt on private entry in April, 1878, but was subse- quently found to contain lrgenti- ferrous lead ores.-M. & $.

Working Mines.

1 Under this heading the Ph9
 nix Journal says: The sooner our
 people are made cognizant Of the 1 fact that mines are to be worked mot merely sUld-the sooner will our chief industry and prin. cipal source of wealth rise 10 the importance that is properly due it. In California. Nevada and Colorado, for long time, mines
 were chiefly worked with view to speculation, rather than as a legitimate income to the owners. Mines were made to pay a div idend or submit to assessment as it WAS desired 10 make the stock go up or down. Mining superin- tenr.ents w"rked under telegraph ic instructions from New York or San Francisco, much as train is run on d railroad hy the " train dispatcher" Mines not on the stock board were not worked with a view to making them produc- tive. but 10 make as large a hole as possible to sell some one else. Now, however, mining Is beng prosecuted, as we said Tn a recent article, as a means of money making leQitimately. Mines are now regarded as valuable for what they are actually. worth when measured by the daily or monthly results in bona fide lrO- ductiun.-M & $. Press.

(From the Weekly .Tugget.)

The first ball at Tombstone took place Christmas eve. The supper was served at the Star Chop House.
 We understand that a bocy of ore which assays s30,0oJ to inc ton, was struck in one of Inc shafts of the Tou sh nut mine on Tuesday.
 A new and rich strike hls been made on the south side of the Mule m nlatlin.. asSaying between seven and eight thou. sand dollars per ton. This strike is in the joint shaft between the Clln Jion ana Green Horn claims ahd is found at depth of about eight feet. Foley & Co. own these claims and their location is in the pass about two mics from Dyur's cam D. In the s.llDe locality the Silver Ile has Il shaft iSfect deep ffo Il wIicl th3y are taking out ore assiying Sl3j in gold and Sl50 in silver.

AmnIgamatlnS Plates.

Within the past few years the practice of using silver-plated copper plates for analgamating purposes in mills has become quite common, and all of our best mills are now supplied with them, mainly from the Sin Fran cisco Plating Works, where d speciality is made of this kind of work. The method by whi .h the plating is done there Is simple but it is hardly practicable with. out special appliances. Miners in isolated camps or in places where time is lost in senting SD far, or those persons who wish tu test the efficacy ofihe silvrr-amalgtm c"a'ing can prepare the plates themselves in q sinnple manner and without ike use of electrici- ty.
 To do thls, take 10 or l2 half dollar pieces (yreenbackS even at par won't answer) and drop them into glass O. porcelain vessel containing nitric acid. The ac- ton of the acid will give them a solution containing nitrate of sil- yer and nittate of copper. This solution should be diluted with Water fee from saline material. Into this solution enough quick silver may be poured iO form a pasty mass with the silver with which it amalgamates to form a silver amalgam.

The Gcntiem an from Boston.

There was a time-not long since, either-when the presence of gentlemen from New York or Boston failed to cause special comment in local financial or mining circles. But that time has passed. Boston and New York now take an inter- est--a feeling interest, so to speak in our mining atfars Hence the presence of a gcntl man from Boston, especially when he comes on business, affords q prime topic for conversation.

An improved hoisliny plart for minez has been contrived by a German inventor, inc arrangement being simply that ui rcpiacin. the two hoisIins drums and two separate ropes by single sheaye with one wire. The circu 4ifereAc. uf tErs oheaye, which i, much cheaper thsu th. ordinary hoistln% drums, is provided With d wed rs shaped groove Imed with wood or leather, and the weight of the two holStlng cages above 5utiiccs 10 prevent slipping. The machine may either b, placed directly abJyc the sa..it or it may be put up beside It. By this arrange
 ment, one half of the length .f rope is saved, and any 0vor-Winding becomes impossible, because, when one cage is at the plt'S mouth, the other rests upon the bottom of the shaft, and any fui thur wind iLg would tend to make the rope in the shaft slack, which the counter weight of the cage rapidly puts en end to. If il rope is attached To the bottoms of the cages and run over pulley at the bottom of the shaft, complete counterbaIancing of the weight of the rope is effected.

of mercury, swhich will be lost and the metallic silver Set free from the silver amalgam The solution poured off will then con tain nitrate of copper and som nitrate of me rury.
 Take the residue and strain of the excess of mercury through a buckskin bag, and there will re- main a s,,lid mass of absolutely pure silver amalgam. The cop per plates should be prepared t0 receive thIS by being tin 'rcUgi: ly cleaned with d solution of nitric acid, and when the amalgam k spread over the copper fine Sil- vercd surface is presented. Take a fine broom and draw across the plate and little fine ridges of sil- yer amalgam are formed, the plate being thus beneficially roushrned.
 The plates thus prepared will be found to act great deui better than plain copper plates simply coated with mercury, snd the silver can of course be obtained whenever the plates are do. . with. The coating will not of course last as long as if t were electroplaled on the copper, but the operation can always be -- peated a; any time. Care must he taken in handling the acid, cr the hands will be burned.
 For quick>iivering pl-trd plates quicksilver should be rubbed on with a piece of flannel, using water-no acids or cyanide Of potassium. In qu.rtZ mills ihe >ilvered plates should not have 9 fail of over thrce or four inches [" I2 feet, as silvered plates should have less f.ll than plain copper plates. If they do not kct% free, more water should be used to carry of the sands To remove the anlalgam il piece of leather or rubber belting should be used, but metal scraper is objection able.
 A silver-pIatcd surface will hold more quicksilver, and wlIl not turn green or corrude like the copper plates. It is always there fore in condition to save the amalgam or amalganate the gold. The quicksilver is absorbed as soon as applied.

TILE L1TEST COLLISION.

The collision between the steamships Queen
and AnchOria on Sunday noon illustrates the
frequency Of Il danger which no amount OF skill
and care on the part of a commander seems
sufficient TO remove. The vessels struck after
some warming for 1t appears that signals were
iutcIchangcd several times as they approached
each other. The rule Of the road at sea III such
cases is clea" enough. Whether both ships
obcycd it or not cannot be positively
asccrtained from the statements of passengers,
and We must WI it until the lips Of the officers
are unscalcd by the official investigation before
we know all the facts. But the application of
the rule depended upon the relative positions
of the two vessels and in dense fog the
captains could only judge of that by the
whistle Everybody who has been at sea
knows that sound is deceptive in thick
weather, and the most experienced OF sailors
might make q mistake Of Il point or two in the
location of a steamer approaching him under
cover of the tre9chcrUlls mist. The fact that
collisions do not oftencr occur in such ciIcum
stance; speaks well for the care with which the
ocean is usually Iayigated
The safety of both ships IN this instance
seems to be attributable mainly to the water
tight bulkhcads. As in the case of the Arizona
when she struck an iceberg, the bulkheads
held firm, and though ont compartment was
filled with water, each of the vessels was able
TO make its way to port.
Suppose the accident had found the Queen
or the Anchoria manned with such Il crew as
We send into nightly peril aboard cur Sound
steamboats,. Suppose the confusion had been
aggravated by the darkness Of night and the
cry of fire. How many of the passengers would
ever have seen land again On Il wel-man-
aged ocean passenger line the officers and
sallOls are trained to anticipate just these
dangers and are prepared to meet them. The
bC ats are in order; plugs and oars are never
missing; every boat has its crew every man
knows his place in case of accident; authority
makes itself felt on board at all times the
instinct of obedience is aroused both in
the passengers and the sailors, and the
instinct of obedience Is one of the chief
incentives to GOODNESS and self-pOssession in the
moment of peril. On one of the two steam
ships damaged last Sunday, if not on the other,
the discipline appears to have been excellent,
and the action of the crew after the collision
US prompt and orderly as any one could have
wished. What happened in the recent disaster
