The Deaf Can Hear.

The audiphOne, an instrument invented by R. s. Rhodes, of Chicago, enables deaf persons to hear through the medium of the teeth. It is shaped like a fan, and made of peculiar composition, that, like the dia- phragm of a telephone, gathers the faintest sounds and conveys them through the teeth and auditory nerve to the brain. The in strumeut is bent and held in place by silk cord, and its upper edge held against the end of the upper teeth. We have been per mitted to examine ono si these instruments, brought from San Francisco by T. ]. Butler, for the use of a friend who is hard Of hear ing. Those of our acquaintances. who do not hear well, and who have tested 1t, say that it acts like a charm.

LOW CIR AIDE oRT s.

Mineral lands which iG the past have been ignored on account of their low grade ores are destined, to great extent in the near future. tO receive large recognition at the hands of miners and capitalists as recently invented economic machinery makes their reduction both easy and profitable. Within a short time past, a Coloradan has invent cd method by which twenty tons of the crude ore can be speedily concentrated into one at the cost of a dollar per ton. At least such IS his statement verined by figures the result of actual extended experiments care fully conducted; and it seems reasonable in face of the fact that most of the stamp mills in the Black Hills regions are running and prOhtably, too, ores some of which car " less than five dollars in gold to the ton. There, the cost of crushing the rock and gathering the precious metal upon the anal gam plates has been bought down to the low figure of ono dollar and eighty cents per ton. When eXtenslve works for the re- ductIon and refinement Of ores are placed in operation in this Territory. it behooves those who ship ores abroad for treatment 10 encourage the erection of lixiyation and
 other concentration establishments. Rid ding the mineral of the greater portion oi its more base parts, it can be proftably transported to the extensive works, the States east of us as also to Europe for trans formation into bars of refined metal.-Santa Fe Era Southwestern.

The following is description of novel process for treating gold ore, described in the Mining Press:
 Several tons taken to San Francisco from san Rafael were amalgamatod by the new process known as the X. C. Tichenor Lead Fusion furnace that is, through hot lead, instead of by quicksilver. Wm. Gardiner, assayer for A. c. Tichenor X Co.,, in his official report 10 President Briggs, says: "I have carefully assaycd the pulp from six sacks of ore furnishel by the San Rafael and Coast Range mining company, after having been run through a chamber of hot lead, and ii showed barely trace of any residue of metal. l also sssayed the lead after the pulp had been run through the hot lead and found it to have been increased or enriched thereby at the rate of s2..G2 per ton of 2,O00 pounds of pulp"

4 San Francisco Journal while lancnting the depressed condition of mining business in the Boards naIvely adds that the stocks which are not listed are in demand at good prices. The paper referred to makes no de- duction from the truth which it utter., per haps for the reason that thore is no logical connection between the prosperity of this class of mining securities and the fact that they are not dealt in by the Boards.
 We incline however to the belief that there has been so much dishonesty and double dealing in the srea; stock markets of of San Francisco that all the we'll known shares which have been dealt in ty the Boards arc regarded with suspicion and the fact of stock being listed is not as it should be guaranty of its worth.

The Panama Canal.

The visit of the great French engineer N. Ferdinand DcLesseps, to New York, II fur,herancc Of his Iuteroceanic Canal scheme has awakened discussion in the newspaper relative 10 the extent that work of tht
 magnitude contemplated, under the auspices efa foreign corporation, would conflict with the principle euuncisted in the Monroe doc trine. Some of the more jealous advocates of the doctrine in question favor the scheme of estabIishing an American protectorste over the route of the projected canal, while ethcrs lean to the opinion that any rigid exclusion of foreign enterprise is not only unwi.e. but also without the puryiew of the doctrine quoted.
 |, is to be regretted that so grand an undertaking could not have been conducted wholly by American enterprise and capital in view of its great importance as high way between remote sections of the Union, tu, events have seemingly demonstrated the inability of capital on this side of the Atlantic 10 carry ii out unaided. We be- hs~s that dog in the manager policy should aot be pursued m matter of such vast i'm pertance to all mankind, and doubt whether . work in which all civilized nations are sqsally interested could ever be manipulated Successfully in the interest of any Individ- psl power or combination. We have passed tAe period when any work of . purely civil ,s.ucc. even though conducted by foreign capital, should threaten the rerpetuity of Republican institutions on this continent, and we regard any petty political ohjec tion inierp~ed to the extent of prohibiting the e.<.cruciion of the canal as unworthy of eI,lted statesmanship. Let the canal be built for the use of everybody and if the franchise be abused that difficulty can bc settled afterwards.

A New Arizona Industry.

From the proceedings of the Californi,
 Academy of Science, as published Tn the
 Mining and Scientific Press, we clip the 1 following;
 Professor Stillman read q very able and interesting paper, carefully prepared, on the gum and cooring matter found or inc icdcia Grsggi ana the L1Trc1 ifericahd, or crcosote plant. The gum which exudes from and surrounds il branches is very
 abundant, and is the product known to com merce as sheliac. of which scalin. wax and
 yarnish is made, also lac-dye, a brilliant scarlet dye so popular in England, and used for lyeing bright red military coats. He expressed beliefthat if California can com pete with British India in the production of this one article, it will gIVe employment to all our idle hands. It is most valuable commercial product. B E. Bedding said il extended IF unlimited supply, as plenty as sage brush, from southern Utah tO New Mexico, and from the Colorado desert to western TeEas. IL is most abundant around stations on the Mojave and Colorado deserts, and exudcs as the result oi an insect sting. Calcutta exports million pounds sterling in value annually Df shcllac, selling at 25Gr3j cents pound, and almost as much of lscdyP, selling at 30@ i0 cents a pound. In 1876, the United States imported 100000 pounds of sheliaC alone. To collect this, Is simple work for Lo.s, SgJ will prove an important industry. IL will require little or no capital. The twigs arc boiled in hot water and the gum rises to the top, is skimmei of, strained and dried on smooth stones, and hand -piessed into flakes, rea-' ] to make sealing way or yarnish. The resi- due. when allowed to settle, makes lao-dyc. The plants live on a rainfall of inches s year I, is found in all parts of Arizona, and well demands inc attention of com mercial men,

The Marshals' Deficiency Bill.

The following from the s. r. Chronicle of
 March 9th, illustrative of Democratic econ
 omy, we transfer 10 our columns:
 Congress having adjourned at the extra session without making any appropriation 1 for the payment ol United States Marshals, those officers have been di>Charging their
 duties ever since the 3Oth of last June win out receiving any compensation. The siarEaiiaH .Aali41 l.aaIlfal i-4a-s-l ii--. i1-.. eTnment by the Democratic majority during
 the last session of the Forty-titth Congress
 aroused such an amount of indignation that
 at tine special session the majority partially
 abandoned their programme and passed all
 the appropriation bills, but that providing for the payment of the Marshals, without po- litical riders. That particular bill they | loaded with proyIso, that none of the money should be used fo- the purpose of employing special Deputy Marshals at the polls. Since then Congress has been several months in session without having provided for the payment of the Marshals. who have borrowed money on their personal credit for the purpose of defraying their expenses ID keeping up the regular official services of the United States Courts. lIad they not re- sorted to this measure there must have been a stoppage of the United States Judiciary Department f1r lack cf the services of the necessary subordinate officials. A recent Washington dispatch says on what authority is'not stated that the bltl will be taken up in few days. The majority have thus far postponed ii from month Co month, and. as the issue is an exceedingly awkward ore fer them to meet. We see no reason for the be- lief that they will abandon their policy of obstruction and delay. The Republicans will oppose, on principle, any bill saddled with the rider, and the President IS bound, in consistency. to veto il. In that case the probability IS thatt the business of the Courts would come to a stand-still for lack of means to secure the service and execution of pro- cesscs.
