SNOW SHOE RACES.

On Christmas day about twenty-five
of our snow-shoe experts made quar-
ter Of mile " run from Twelfth St.
down avenue f, for purse of sas to
the one making the best time. To
man up-lo, 500 feet, it didn't ap-
pear that all those engaged in the race
were experts. Many Of them were
buried to their necks in the snow ere
they fairly started to run, while others
seemed 10 take a delight in parting
with their shoes when Il ey went over
a knoll, turning a somersault in the
air and diving into the snow, leaving
their feet sticking up as the only Wis
ible portion of their body, where they
remained until they were dug out.
II. T. Painter, Our popular druggist,
won the purse, making the run in six
teen seconds. Mr.. Painter invited the
boys to an oyster supper, at the East
ern restaurant thai evening, which ex-
hausted the purse he lad won.
The same run was made on New
Year $ day for purse of s45, which
was also won by Mr.. Painter; but all
he wanted was the glory, SO he gave
the money to family named Keeler,
who are in destitute circumstances.

THE GOOD ENOUGH STAMP
MILL,


MILL.
This mill, now practically in the
hands of Commodore Webb, of New
York, was constructed under the able
superintendent of Mr.. Fogg, master
mechanic, ard is monument to his
master!ymechanical genius. The work
is all done in first class style. The
root is self-suppo-ting and built in the
most substantial manner. Mr.. Foge
informed us that he had calculated the
roof to sustain weight of snow seven
feet deep. He showed US all Through.
the building, explaining the particu-
lars Of the working Of the mill.
The building is eighty feet wide,
1o4 feet long and forty-hve feet high
from the ground to the ewes, and
from the ground to the cone of the
roof 1t IS seventy-fve feet high, and
all of it put up to stay. There are
timbers in it twelve inches square,
forty feet long, and such is the quality
of our forest tree: that they could have
been procured seventy-fve feet longer.
Stays, 7x13 inches, are used in the
roof, and in making stringets they are
used double and bolted together with
huge iron bolts.
The mill is run by Corliss engine,
to which steam is furnished by Will
cox boiler. This is curious locking
concern consisting of lot Of tubes
twelve feet long and about FIVE inches
in diameter, which are kept full of
water by cylindrical iron. pk I'M
mediately over them, which looks on
the outside just like f1ue boiler-but
it isn't. 1t is only an iron horizontal
tank, which keeps the tubes beneath
itfull Of water, while it is always kept
half full itself. When fire is kindled
around the tubes and the steam begins
to make, it is accumulated over the
water in this horizontal iron tank,
from which it is fed to the engine.
This is safety boiler, being non
explosive. -. 80 ?
Near the big door which opens at
the upper side Of the builtling and or
the top of the hill, stands a Blake
crusher, and the ore is dumped on the
floor near and shoyelled into it. At
ter it passes through the crusher it is
spread out on an iron drying floor 22
feet wide and s. feet long, where it is
dried on hot iron plates. Then it is
raked up and shovel!ed into the bat
terry, and the stamps pound it into
powder. Thence it is carried up to the
roof by an elevator and passed down
by chute into big iron cylinders and
roasted. From the roasters car takes
it to the amalgamating pans, which
are great iron revolving pans full Of
water with quicksilver in the bottom.
Into these the pulverized and roasted
ore is dumped, and after it has been
jostled around and ground by the
grinders inside the amalgamating pans
long enough to suit the "boss " it is
dumped-ore, water: quicksilver and
all-into larger pans, situated just be
low the ama'gamators. These pans are
called settlers, and here water is kept
running on and off the ore until moth
ing but the quicksilver and precious
metals with which it is affiliated is left.
Then the silver and quicksilver are
put into a retort and the quicksilver is
driven out by heat through pipe
down into a condenser, where it is
ready to be taken out for use again,
while the silver is taken from the re-
tort, melted and run into bars.
