ApportiOnment Of School Moneys.

The County Superintendent has
apportioned the school moneys OF
this county as follows: Amount in
the county school fund, 1905 49,
District No. 1, Silver City, $500 60;
District No. 2, Dayton, 1894 "a;
District No. 8, Sutro, $161 95; Dis
trict No. 4, Churchill, $50 %; Dis.
trict No. 5, Wabuska, $50 rs. The
apportionment is made IL accord.
ance with law upon the census OF
last year. The next will be made
upon the basis of the new census
and Dayton will then receive nearly
the same as Silver City, she having
but two scholars less. The financial
future for the Dayton schools has
not looked so bright for several
wears.

The Parting Process.

The parting process which the
Lyon Mill & Mining Company is
about to put in practice is based on
the principle, that heated sulphuric
acid $50 strong will dissolve the sill
yer and copper from an alloy of
gold containing not more than 10
per cent. OF metals other than silver.
The details of the process are as
follows: In the separating room a
mass of 200 pounds of alloy is placed
in large iron kettle with $50 pounds
of acid, and boiled. During the
boiling process, which lasts about
five hours, 200 pounds more of acid
are gradually added, and the result
ing solution is run by siphon to
the lead precipitating vat on lower
floor, where the silvar as fine silver,
is thrown down on copper slabs, by
the greater affinity which sulphuric
aciu has for copper, which causes it
to unite with and form sulphate of
copper, leaving the silver practically
pure.
The gold remaining undissolved
in the kettle at this stage of the pro-
cess, is entirely lacking in the me-
tallic lustre which gives 1t its prin-
ciple value as an ornament, and re-
sembles a muddy sediment. If de-
sired it could be frightened even in
its finely subdivided condition by
repeated baths in hot acid and water;
but this Is not necessary as it regains
its metallic lustre upon being melt
cd. 1t is taken from the boiling
kettle, filtered and washed to remove
the acid, aud cast into bars.
The fine silver in the precipitating
vat is washed off the copper slabs,
aud treated in similar manner.
The copper solution is carried to
the crystalizing watts, where it forms
into The blue crystals known as blue
stone. In connection with this
process there is an intricate system
of lead pipes and reservoirs, planned
by Mr.. Gignoux, the chemist, for
the saving of acid and metallic par
tlcles carried of mechanically,

Como Briefs.

The Welter mill is again running
on Mohawk ore. This time the work
will probably be continued as there
is plenty of good ore, and excellent
results are being obtained from the
milling. The rock works little
over $50 per ton, and the bullion
produced is 970 fine. If the Mohawk
men are allowed to go ahead with
their work on the present basis it
will be but a short time until the
production will pay the expenses OF
developing the mine. and leave a
handsome surplus. Work is being
prosecuted in the south drift, which
has now been driven a distance OF
thirty-sev feet, and is in good ore
the entire distance. The north drift
has been run thirty. five feet in good
ore, and crosscut has been started
to make under an ola snaIt TOT the
purpose of obtaining more air. The
crosscut is in 10 feet in vein matter
all the way, over half of which is
good paying ore.
Work is being vigorously pushed
on the Lawson claim. A tunnel is
in ITO feet, and it is expected that
the vein will be cut in about thirty
feet more, at depth of 1877 feet.
Ore in this ledge taken from depth
of twenty feet, assayed $4,000 per
ton.
