@weepstahc Quartz Mill.

One OF these mills have been set M
at the Hartley mine, in this district,
and has been operating for few DAYS.
It is comparatively recent invention,
and attracted much attention at the
late Mechanics Fair at San Francisco
whore it was on exhibition. 1t is
compact and durable, and capable of
being run at high speed. II also has
the mefit of cheapncss, as it has the
capacity of working as much quartz
as the ordinary ten-s'amp mill, while
its cost for that capacity does not cx-
coed 81, 200. A late number of the S.
/, Exchange gives the following de-
scription Of the mill:
"lhc stamps are arranged in cir
Gle around "a hollow cone. The out
side OF the mortar is n-sided, hav-
ing six screen discharges and one
space for feed chute. The revolv.
ing center has guides for tie stems of
the stamps, which are the same as in
other batteries This revolving cen
ter has a clutch at the bottom, which
drops into a clutch upon perpendicu-
lac shaft that extends up through the
hollow cones, and through the stem
guides or revolving battery frame.
Upon the lower part of this shaft is a
gear wheel, in which is pinion at
tached to a horizontal shaft, also hav-
ing pnlleys; thus the center piece is
revolved, carrying the stamps for
ward. AS these move around the bat
terry they are carried, with rotary
motion, up an incline or cam on each

side Of the outer shell, whence they
drop, with an angular blow to the dies
at the bottom. They then advance
with grinding or sliding movement
to the second cam, each stamp drop
ping twice IN each revolution of the
center shaft. 1t will be seen that this
movement combines the battery with
the pan perfectly. The stamps are
eight III number, each weighing 1856
to 300 pounds Each stamp makes
forty revolntions--at moderate speed
striking GAO angular or glancing
blows, sliding and grinding the quartz
on the dies until again lifted by the
next cam"
The mill is easily put in place, and
can be set up by two men in a couple
OF days, and one man can attend to it's
operations. 70 those who are inter-
ested III mining, a visit to observe the
working of this mill will be interest

What the Wrinkles Tell.

The chronological Journal has the
following bit oI face lore: The facul
ty for truth--that is, the love of its
indicated by the muscle that surrounds
the eye, causing folds and wrinkles
Justice is indicated by the muscle
which causes perpendicular wrinkles
between the eyebrows. Fulness and
wrinkles under the eye, for which some
persons are remarkable, Indicate the
love Tor mathematical accuracy; and
wrinkles curving upward from the out
er angle of the eye aud eyebrow indi-
cate probity Of personal truthfuIness.
There are three degrees of the faculty
Of Justice The first is a kind of ex-
actness or strict honesty in small mo-
ney matters, which some people call
closeness, aud is indicated by singu-
lar perpendicular wrinkle or line be-
tween the eyebrows. The second is
the disposition to require justice in
others, and is indicated by two wrin-
kles, one on each side of the Center
a very common sign. The third de
gree is consciousness, or dispo-
sition TO apply the rule Of justice to
ones self, and is indicated bv three or
more wrinkles Or lines, especially no
tlceable, extending above the eyebrows
when the muscle is in action. The
love OF command is indicated by one
or mole short, transverse wrinkles
across the root of the nose, exactly
between the eyes. 1t may be seen in
great military commanders, in masters
and teschers, and in those generally
who are fond Of exercising authority.
In those who are wanting in the power
to command, and have no desire for
responsibility, this sign is also absent
The faculty of command frequently
acts with that part of justice which
reprlmands or requires others to do
right, aud both together produce the
irownlng and lowering brow waich is
so terrible to evil-doers, or to those
who love to be approved rather than

| Tombstone Independent
This is the way that the spokesman
at miners meeting iii the Gibraltar
aiming district, near Casa Grando,
put it:
Fellow miners and citizens:
am not Fitch, the silver tongue, nor
am | Beech, the Plymothonian; bat
am the rhetorician Of these little bills
and the viGdicator Of the miners
wrongs. Egypt had her ten plaques,
Pharaoh was swallowed in the Dead
Sea, and Beecher swallowed Plymouth
Church; but greater curses are re.
served for Arizona. The loensts from
the East, having professional appen-
dages, are now lighting upon our min
ing camps and darkenng our bright
est prospects with their inexperienced
and unjust reports. What do stran-
gers from the East know about our
peculiar country? They acknowledge
that our veins and lodges are totally
new to them, and the pitch of our hills
arc SO peculiar that they have never
seen a similarity of them before, and
yet, III the face of all these assertions
they render an off-hand verdict on our
mines with as much ease and gusto as
i they were dining upon roasted tur-
key They are shown some of the
richest veins and lodes in Arizona. and
yet because two or three millions have
not been expended in tunnels, wines
and dumps, they turn up their face
tlons noses, pass sentence derogatory
aud repack their satchels for civilized
Boston. The miner has said more than
once and still repeats it, that the cap
Italist should be the party acting in
these matters, the book student min
aralogized and metaIlurgized let loose
rom the bank counters and Office space
81 Eastern cities arc nauseated at the
presence Of an Arizona desert, and
their book-stuffcd learning and theo-
'ies theoretical are dealt out TO the
lardy listed miner in such doses and
pills that 1t seems all practical expert
'nce was at nought and only learned
men resided in the East. Fellow citi-
