| The first bullion ever shipped from
Gunnison county, was the two silver
bricks that Marshal Webb took from
the Pioneer Stamp mill the other day,
weighing respectivel; 81 and III
ounces, SAID to be 9o2 find, coin value
S1,152.2o, being the product of the
Is tons of 50 ounce ore, from the
Forest Queen dump. We understand
that Marshal Webb, who represents
his father here, CLAIMS that the people
and press here are adverscd to the
Pioneer mill, which We take the liber-
ty to say is 4 mistake There is not
a man or paper In the county or State
but what would like to see the mill
success, and, if it is a success it meets
the desire and wish of every man III
terested in the prosperity of this coun-
try but 1t IS that man Jacobs that
the people have no use for, nor ever
will have, and We are glad to see that
he has been removed. We would
naturally suppose that Marshal Webb
had more foresight than to take up
with the theories of such man. Is
it natural to suppose that we would
set by and let Jacobs abuse us as he
did in the Mining Reeoy32 Not much.
Another thing, refutation after refuta-
tion has been written to the RecorI
IN reply to that slanderous communi-
cation, and yet that paper refuses to
publish them on the grounds that they
are too personal and do not deal in
facts. We had the pleasure of seeing
one of those articles and can safely
saysthat it contained no malice, but
was plain reply based on facts.

An Austrian engineer has discover
ed a new method Of disintegratinc
rocks. The chief feature OF lis system
Is to employ hollow cylinder ike a
gas pipe, and to place d dynamite car
fridge, not as hitherto in a hole bored
INTO the rock to be blasted, but ii the
cylinder in question. The cartr ridge
only touches the surface of the took
which 1t is desired to shatter. The
explosion of the dynamite is effected
by means of electricity, and the eaecr
is said to be greater than the ul,al
cartridge in hole bored in the ro,k.
The rock IS shattered INTO fragmehts
so small that a fair stream is able to
wash them away without help, vheHas
in the case Of gunpowder the rock is
only split up in blocks more or less
troublesome to remove. This system
IS calculated 70 effect a saving Of filly
40 per cent. as compared With the hid
system.

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
snlt the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest. make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried iu first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience.
Trains run through without chs6ge Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
etc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-I,s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to the saving Of much Of both as vel as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving a letter from one of the B. & o.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. e.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to j. T. Lane,
Wheeling. W. Va, to j.. "A. Webb, Eos.
