STILES QUARTZ MILL.
4 reporter called at the foundry of Mr..
Guttenberger yesterday, where these mills
are being manufactured, and saw the same in
active operation. The Stiles pulverizsr is
built of iron and steel. There is no waste
of material in their construction. 1t consists
of an iron frame, varying in size according to
the size of the grinding surface. The largest
vet made is frame cast solid, 26x2S inches
square. upon which are bolted four cast iron
legs. Upon the top of this frame are the
boxes for the reception of the grinding wheel
shafts. Oae pair of boxes are made fast to
the FRAME and the other pair are made to
slide upon the top, which answer the double
purpose of holding the boxes to the solar
plates. Attached to the sliding boxes are
springs, which serve to keep one grinding face
against the face of the other, and in case of
any hard substance, such as nuts, bolts, pick
points, etc, the boxes will spring back, re-
lieving the shafts and wheels from any undue
strain The wheels are made similar to an
ordinary friction gear left perfectly smooth,
without corrugations. Between each pair of
boxes are set screws, by which the wheels are
adjusted so as to crush fine or coarse, as may
be desired In passing the rock through the
first time, the wheels may be set one half of
an inch apart, or more. The second time
passing through they may be brought face to
face, reducing the sand down to -four. The
power for the reiuction OF five tons will be
one-horse; that of twenty tons, four. horse,
and 80 on, according TO the strength of the
pulverizer 1t consists also in the speeding
of the machine. The dies and accompanying
plates Of the grinder are made OF white iron
or steel, readily adjusted, taking but few
minutes to displace them and renew the
wheels, which are as good as new for further
use They are bolted on the shafting the
same as plowshares. One pair of these wheels
will grind a large amount of rock before they
need changing according to the hardness OF
the rock) The weight of these shoes aud
dies will be about $50 pounds, divided into
three pieces. There is an automatic feed at
tached to the pulverizer, which can be reglI-
lated so as to conform to the power applied
These wheels are made TO run ditferentiAlly or
otherwise, as parties may desire. A No. 4
machine of this class will grind go tons Of
barley per day.
A CoMPLIMENT.-FellixG illst, of Nevada
City, writing to the RECORD UNION, says
" In a late number of the Journal of the Ma
tioaal Society Of Horticulture Of France, pub
lished in Paris. appeared an article from the
able pen of Oh. jolly, in regard to the Society
of NuIserymen, Seedmen and Florists of the
United States, and ia the course of bis re-
marks having occasion to refer to the
Treatise on the Insects Injurious to Fruit
and Fruit Trees of which Matthew Cooke
is the author, and published by the Califor-
MIA Board of Horticultural Commissioners,
the writer calls it an excellent book. praising
it in all its details then suggests the pro-
priety Of having the French Government
publish a similar practical and cheap treatise,
that could be understood by ali that can read,
adding that it would render an immense SER
vice to French horticultural interests. This
compliment to our little California produc-
ton, coming from a country possessing one OF
the finest corps OF scientists, entomologists
and savants in the world should be regarded
as the highest compliment that could be be-
slowed on our young State, her Horticultural
Commission, and especially the unassuming
but clear. minded author Of the practical lit
tie book-Matthew Cooke, of Sacramento.
Such praises from such sources are both COM
plimentary and encouraging to Us in Cali
fornia, who, instead of having to profit by
the experience, knowledge and science of
older countries, have not only to RELY on our
selves, but even give others the lead"
METROPOLITAN THEATER - About 1900
children and teachers attended the stereopti-
can matinee at the theater Yesterday after
noon. The children were well pleased with
the handsome views shown, and when the
great number of them is considered sitting in
a darkened theater, the order preserved was
! remarkably good, notwithstanding the fact
that the lecturer lost his temper once, and
when the boys and girls Laughed toe long
and buzzed too loud, told them they were i'll
hammered. President Tracy and Superin.
tendent Lame, and nearly all the teachers of
| the city. were present, and aided in marshal
| ing the children into and out of the building.
About $50 were unable to gain admission, and
were turned sorrowfully away. This after
noon the matinee will be given at 2:30. The
| lecture and accompanying views will be Of
| Scotland. with miscellaneous views, and read
| ipes by Professor Van de Mark and Miss
Harris. Tonight, Physiology and Switzer-
land, and miscellaneous views. Tomorrow
night, at S:25, the final lecture will be given,
the subject being the Holy Land, and Arctic
views very recently taken. Mr.. Jones had a
good audience last night, and DOW that the
weather has moderated, it is quite certain
that this meritorious entertainment will be
| well patronized.
| DECLARATION OF lNDEPENDENCE.-Wh hen
in the course of human events it became
necessary for one merchant to dissolve from
the old method of doing business and set up
anew for himself, that man was found in the
person of G. H. Gilman, of the Red House,
who established the first one-price govern.
ment in business on the coast, and have his
goods marked in plain figures, and where the
rich, the poor, the young and the old have
all been treated alike. The success of his
establishment has been acknowledged by all,
in the fact that so many have seen fit to imi
tate him and follow his lead.
WE STOP to name some Of our advantages

cash is king, and we have the proud satisfac
ton of saying that we owe no man dollar

that sell for cash and buy on long time. w,
both buy and sell for cash, and our seyera

us to keep good men constantly on the look
out for such bargains as only cash can OBJ
