The SilYer Bell.

Reports from the Silver Bell dis! rict indicate that that copper camp will soon come to the front as one of the chief copper producers in the Territory. The Hermosa shaft is now down 10 feet all in ore. Two feet of the ore Is black oxide assaying 67.90 per cent. and the remaining three feet of the shaft is ID carbonate ore asSaying 4S.J0 per cent. The Cochise mine Is also giving great promise. The shaft on thls claim Is down 2J feet. Two feet of the ore IS ru- bicite, assaying 57 per cent. copper and four feet or carbonate ore assaying 40 per cent. The ledge is full fifteen feet wide. What the balance of the ledge assays IS not known. Their determine ti0ns were made by Prof. H. II. Eames
 If these properties continue To devel- op, early spring will see smoIting plant erected and ID operation, for B. r. BIvIns and capitalists interested with hIm know . good thing when they see it and have the means to carry important enterprises of this kind to d successful conclusion.

CrncLerr and Glassware.

The jobbing trade in crockery and glassware now in the hands of 4. D. Otis * Co, has assumed such propor- tions as to necessitate the setting aside of a large department to be devoted to its exclusive use. The building, 25x60 in the rear of the store and till recently occupied as q wareroom, has been cleared out, reftted and divided into special bins for cTockery and glass ware, which for better convenience will here after be sold by samples. More than one of the crockery dealers in San Fran cisco who have felt in that line the jobbing trade of Arizona slipping from their hands, have made overtures to Mir. Otis with a view to compromising the difference on prices and so dividing the trade. and in case of compliance, prom ising in lieu thereof, important advant- ages in other directions that would be fully as profitable. This, Mir. Otis has uncompromisingly refused to do. He says that as the people of Arizona have stood by him he will continue to stand by them and sell crockery and glass ware at San Francisco prices, which simply means a net saving tO buyers of all railroad freights and tariffs. The stock kept on hand Is conceded by all to be the largest m the Territory, and par ties buying with him run no risk, us their purchases can be made under their own supervision. To do so in San Francisco necessarily entails further expense of several hundred dollars, and in ordering goods by mail the purchaser literally places himself at the mercy of the seller The house also deals largely in hardware, miners and mechanics tools, blasting and rifle powders. oils, paints, varnishes, lamps, gas fixtures, etc. 4 correspondence with dealers is solicited.

A New Method Of Refining Gold Cos
 taining Copper.
London Mining Journal

One ot the most difficult problems in
 refining gold by sulphuric acId is that of ! treating gold and silver alloys which ! contain much copper, as when the pro | portion of the latter metal exceeds 100 per ] l,CO0 fine silver must be added in | order to bring the copper down to the | required limit, winch not only increases l the weight uf alloy to be dissolved, but gold dIlutes the proportion of gold, so that It IS difficult to get 1t perfectly fine. The method patented by Roessler and 1 Ochsenius for such alloys Is first to con
 vert them into sulphides by fusion with
 an excess of sulphur, until the silver
 and copper are completely converted
 into regulus. and then to blow air upon
 the surface of the melted regulus. This
 oxidizes a part of the sulphur with the
 reduction of an equivalent quantity of
 sily yer, which carries down the whole of
 the gold, giving an alloy that, when sep
 arated, is parted by sulphuric acid in
 the ordinary way. A certain amount of metallic copper IS also liberated at the
 surface by the reaction of the oxide formed upon the sulphide, but this is resulphuretted on sinking through the bath. By continuing the blowing m another crucible after the removal of the auriferous alloy, a cupriferous silver is obtained, which can be easily refined. The air blast may be produced by q blowing cylinder or steam jet. In the Frank l fort gold refinery the regulus, in l quantities of 3a0 kilograms, is melted 1 In an air furnace m black lead | crucibis. heightened above by a cylin- | der of the same material, and coveted | with projecting sheet-iron hood, with | a pipe for the admission of the blast, | which is projected upon the surface of | the bath. The gases and tiue-stuif | formed by the oxidation are carried by | a lateral opening in the top cylinder, through cooling and condensing | chamber with numerous vertical parti- tons, into an absorption vessel, which IS flied either with sulphuric acid at sixty degrees in which sulphate of cop per Is dissolved, or with nitric acid. When a sufficient supply of water vapOr IS introduced, which IS done by steam Jet blower, the sulphurous acid gas is continuously oxidized and condensed as sulphuric Bcid of sixty degrees, which Is removed from time to time as It collects. The author considers that this method may be applled on large scale tn the separation of precious metals from mixed copper and lead r6gulus. In the latter case they will be collected in lead, leaving pure copper l. reculu=.

4 special to the Chicago Tribune from Lincoln, Nebraska, gives much practical information about the benefi- cent workings of the hlgh-lcense law in Nebraska. Tue license Is fixed at Sl GOO per annum in cities Of the first class, and at $500 in cities and towns of less than 10000 inhabitants. Every sa- loon keeper IS required to give a good bond in S5,OOO to observe the provisions of the Inv, and hls application for IT, ceuse must be accompanied by the statement of thirty freeholders that he Is a man of respectable character. Li- quor dealers generally opposed the law at the time of its passage, but have be- come converted to a sense of its useful ness, and would not now return to the luw-license system # they could do so. The law Is enforced, drunkenness has diminished sInce 1t went into operation, and the saloons are closed at r. o'clock every night and all day Sunday. The city of Omaha der.ves an income (de- voted to its county school fund of S90,- OO0 from hcenses-an increase of 50 per cent over the old system, while the number of saloons has diminished 9 per cent. In the smaller towns the law acts as q prOhibItOry one, nOtwithstand- ing which fact its chief opponents are found in the ranks of the rabid PrOhibi- tionists, who seem to think that there is no stopping-Off place between probiti- tory laws which can never be enforced and unrestrained license.

The Chicago Tribune in its issue of
 November 2Sth under the caption of "nliteracy in the United States, publishes tabulated statement of the the number of persons, white and colored, of native and foreign birth, of the age of ten years and over, living in the different States and Territories, who are unable to write. It IS to be re- gretted that Arizona shows heavy balance on the debIt sheet of ignorance.
 As enumerated the white population of American birth of the age above stated, IS 2S.63i Of whom l6.S per cent, or 4,2S4 are unable to write. Of native white persons of ten years and upwards, there are l5,200 Of whom S.1 per cent, or 1925 are unable to write. Of foreign white persons of ten years and upwards, there are l3,43l of whom 26.S per cent. 3,599 are unable to write. The cOlored population as enumerated, of and over the age of ten years, are placed at 4,2SS of whom 23.7 per cent, or l,0lS are un- able to write. Although the per centage of illiteracy weighs heavily on the side of those of foreign birth, there is yet much for our school masters to do among those to the manor born.

 Mir. J. S. Mansfield announces to-day
 under the head of Happy New Year, % the thirteenth annual opening of his Christmas bazar at the Pioneer News
 Depot, where he has displayed, or is
 making preparations to display, tue fin- est lot of holiday goods that were ever spread under one roof in Tucsouor any
 where on the Pacific coast this side of San Francesca, and respectfully asks that he be given call. As Christmas approaches the rush will become gener- al and, large as the stock Is, it will, ln- asmuch as it k the only one of its kind Tn Tucson, be liable to run short on many of the most desirable articles, SO that those purchasing late run the risk of beng disappointed, as some were from a similar cInse on the Christmas past. The present display embraces all that lovers of holiday goods can wish for. Some Of the articles are quite val uable. Among them may be mention ed books, statuagy, albums, writing desks, music boxes, portfolios, vases, work boxes and thousand other things too numerous to mention. Call and see them The goods are on exhibition and for sale, SO don't forget to call around, and that, too, before 1t 1t too late.

The other two. Juan and BartolomO Romero were bound over lu the sum Of SjU0 each Tor the same purpose. The facts of the case gs learned are that the men named
 living ln FrOnteras, Sonora, rode duti- able horses over the line into Arizona, and passed the custom house at Gala 0asas without making report of their aE- rival. Being seen hy officer Sheppard, he hailed tu-m, but as they gave no heed he depurIsed a Mir Thomas who was near by with horse to ride after them aud explain the necessity of their making report at the Custom House. On being overtaken they not only re- fused to return but threatened to shoot Thomas and also Sheppard, who had by thIs time come up. They then turn ed and galloped away. It was for this otiense that Commissioner Gregg held them amenable to the law. Bail has not yet been furnished.
