SMELLING AND CONCENTRATING.
In the increase of facilities, which has been
general at ali the reduction works of the Camp
during the past 8. ason, the Improvements in
the smelling and concentrating works has been
notable. 1he introduction of
ANpi Rso>'s CoNCENTRATOR
has been regarded with great interest by min
ing men who ha se watched its operation with
great interest since the arrival OF the machln-
ely and its erection in the vicinity OF the Long
maid concentration. Steam was turned on for
the first time on Wednesday morning and q
very successful trial run was made. 1t was the
first run of the first concentration ever manufdc-
tured of the Anderson patent, but two hours
trial convinced tn Sc inter sted that the theory
ana principle of the invention was correct, and
that with the surmounting OF trivial mechanical
difficulties the new concentrator will accom-
plish the most sanguine expectations of the in-
ventor. A longer run will be ma ie next week,
when the MINkR will give the practical results
of an important invention of one of our own
citizens, which is expected to produce impor
tant changes In the treatment of the low grade
ores OF the district.

In all civilized nations inventors are
protected and given al advantage if
they are first in the field, yet it has
been proved beyond all peradventilre
that of all the fortunes made by inven-
tions not one dollar in hundred has
benefited the man who thought out the
improvement, which the public were
taxed to pay for. New and improved
ways of doing things are rarely the
product of one mind. Hundreds of in
genious men have worked together to
give us the electric telegraph, the tele-
phone, the electric light, as we'll as all
the machines which have filled the
world with fabrics used by mankind.
A particularly ill-used class in this
respect is our authors. A book, play,
or a poem, unlike an invention, is neces-
sarily the work of one mind; yet nearly
all civilized nations have tacitly agreed
to rob authors of the fruits of their
brain work. True, they are given the
home market. but the American pub

negotiating an international copyright
law have failed, due to the powerful
publishing interests which desire to re-
publish popular works without paving

upon our national literature. It gave
premium to publishers to reproduce
the works of foreign authors, and hence
our public and private libraries are
filled to oycrtlowing with the produc-
tions Of writer's whose teachings are

popularity in a republic. Authorship
in America has been discouraged by
