OLD GUILDS LONDON.

Mr.. Hallam describes the old guilds as
fraternities by voluntary compact to re.
lieve each other in poverty and to pro.
tect each other from injury, and adds.
1.-TWO essential characteristics belonged
| to them, the common banquet and the
common purse They had also, in many
instances, Il religious, sometimes secret,
ceremonial to knit more firmly the bond
of fidelity. They readily became con-
J nected with the exercise Of trades, with
the training Of apprentices, with the
traditional rules Of art" From what
has Just been stated as to the origin of
the several companies, says the Nine
teenth Century, it is pretty clear that
this description by Mr.. Hallan of the
guilds is applicable to the companies
London was TO doubt in those early days
a great manufacturing town, in or near
which cloth working, the smelling of
ore, the making of arrows and bows, the
working of silk and leather, the manu-,
facture Of the precious metals and other
industries were practiced with much sue
cess, and the several trades appear to
have had in such early days their recog-
nized quarters in the city, and, owing to
their localzation, they formed themselves
into guilds or companies for mutual pro-
lection and as such no doubt they under
took to regulate the trades whose names
they bore; appointed overseers to inspect
the wares produced and sold and umpires
to adjudicatc in cases of dispute between
masters and workmen. But it should al.
ways be kept in mind that from very
early times the several companies con-
sisted largely of noncraftsmen; from
time immemorial the privileges of men,
bcrship have been hereditary, one mode
of admission having always been by pat
rimony, which causes the right of free
dom to descend to all the lineal descend
ants, and from time immemorial 4 system
of apprenticeship has entered into the
constitution OF the companies, under
which the members, irrespective of
whether they were not members of the
trades the names of which were borne by
the companies, were privileged to receive
Thus it came to pass that
as early as l445 of the SINNERS company
there was only one skinner by trade a
member, and that in 1860 of tho FIVE per-
sons named as master and wardens of the
clothworkers company, only one was
clothworker, and that in still earlier
times the governing body contained
scarcely any clothworkers.

1t has been found that there is an ex-
cellent shampoo to be obtained in using
Owens Lake water. Under the title of
"Castilian" it is being put up in barrels
and shipped Last week a carload of
fifty empty barrels arrived at Keeler
from San Francisco, to be filled with
water from the lake and returned to that
city. A firm has started business for
the sale of the water, and will extend its
correspondence and shipments to the
East.
Promising reports continue to come
from the mining camps of Garfield and
Santa Fe, situated north and south of
Luning. There are about thirty men at
different places in the last named locality
and some very rich developments are be-
ing made. Frequent shipments of ore
leave Luning, some of them being copper
of very high grade. If the anticipa-
tions of some of the owners of copper
claims are one.half realized, Esmeralda
will be the best copper producing county
in this State

LEAD SMELLING.

[San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press
Charcoal of good quality will smelt
more charges in the same time and under
the same circumstances than coke, but
coke will make cleaner slags and less Hue
dust than charcoal A mixture of char.
coal and coke will be advantageous Geo.
nomically in many localities, than either
alone. The size of the blower and the
quantity of air it supplies should be ade.
quate to the size of the furnace, else it
cannot reach its highest effect. In using
blast OF low pressure less material will
pass through the furnace than with one
OF higher pressure; but it is advisable to
work with moderate blast, so as to al.
low the smelling mixture time for COM
plete reduction. Hard ores require a
blast Of higher pressure than easily fuisi-
Bile ones. The formation of fue dust can
also be regulated by the pressure of the
blast aside from the fuel.
The best size of material for smelling is
considered by an authority on the subject
to be that of a goose egg; iron and lime.
stone ilux, however, may reach the size
of a mans fist, while quartz should be
broken much smaller Such material
smelts very rapidly. Pulverulent ores
give much trouble by sitting through the
fuel and arriving before the tuyeres in a
raw state, where they will cake together
and form SOW. or enter the Stag and
cause loss of metal. Very fine ores,
such as shines from concentrating works,
especially if they are rich in silver, should
be agglutinated with milk of lime previ.
Gus to putting them into the furnace
otherwise very large proportion will be
blown out Of the furnace as Aue dust. II
roasting precedes smelling, it will be
found judicious to bind the wasted ore
also with lime. If the Stag should show
undue qualities of precious metals, thi:
would indicate the necessity of such 6
method.
The fuslbility of an ore is greatly en-
HANGED if it contains much lead and LITTLE
silica, alumina, and above all, no zin'
compounds. A large percentage of oxid
or silicate Of zinc in an ore, even if prop
erly fluxed, is liable to reduce the smelt
ing capacity of the furnace to one-half 0
what it would be if running on NOR
, favorable ores. In truth lead. bias
, furnace has no fixed smelling capacity il
: tons of material. If we do rate its capac
ity we should express it, in tons of smell,
ing mixture or charge, and not Of ore.

In the boat shop adjoining the Navy
Yard dry dock a busy gang of workmen
are hard at work learning the rudiments
of a navy-yard industry. They are try.
ing to make iron masts, and for amateurs
are succeeding admirably. Up to date
such vessels as are said to compose the
United States navy are spared through
out with wood. The new masts are not
intended for use in the old navy, but are
designed to embellish the new and al
legged cruisers now being fashioned by the
ingenious John Roach. The workers in
the boat shop have one mast nearly fin
ished and are framing another The two
are meant for the newly launched cruiser
Atlanta, now due in the yard. Most
people think an iron mast is cast and
solid, and wonder why its weight does
not pull it up by the roots or punch a
hole in the bottom and slide through.
This shows how easy it lie to be mistaken.
An iron mast is really lighter than wood.
A 60-foot stick of spruce or yellow pine,
four feet in diameter at the base, weighs
far more than the shell forming the
modern iron steamship masts.- Brook

a GOOD I'D "a.

In view OF the fact that much COM
plant has been made by stock men
throughout the country, that their brands
have been changed, added to and de.
faced with other brands, it is suggested
that the branding law be amended pre-.
scribing that but one letter, character or
figure shall be used in branding any ami.
NAL in the future. Such law would
obviate all the difficulties heretofore ex-
perienced, would answer all purposes,
besides being lighter punishment to the
animals. Let every stock man provide
himself with new iron with which to
brand all the increase from and after the
passage OF the amendment. If such q
course is pursued, there can be no future
cause for complaining of running other
brands on animals. Another thing to be
taken into consideration is the use OF
what is called a running iron in brand
ing cattle. There should be a law
against this method of branding or vent
ing cattle. If there were such law
then no stock man could say that another
had put his brand on some other stocl
mans cattle, for the purpose Of making
mischief. = Reno journal.

KNITTING THE PRoHIBIrIoNIsrs. Not
long ago Jake Aberle applied to the
Board Of Aldermen Of Jersey City for
license to open saloon in connection
with his theater in Jersey City. The
Republican members voted against it and
the matter was kept in allegiance until
Wednesday night, when the question
came up again. Since the defeat Of Blaine
the Republicans have turned their rancor
upon the Prohibitionists who voted for
st. John. and to get even they Topped
over to the Democrats and granted Aberle
license. The temperance people are
wild, and the Republicans are still sharp.
ening their knives. They say they will
grant licenses to every person who wants
to open liquor store.

The dastardly attempt to assassinate
N. H. de Young, of the San Francisco
Chronicle, by young Spreckles, is con.
demned by all, as there was not any
cause for his murderous attack on Mr..
de Young, and it was utterly unjustifia-
BILE. Young Spreckles deserves as severe
punishment as the law will permit, even
though Mr.. de Young is fortunate
enough to recover from his wounds.
But, money has a great weight with the
courts of San Francisco, and covers q
multitude Of sins, therefore young
Spreckles will escape with but light pun
ishment; or, perhaps, none at all.

The Bismarck, D. T., Tribune says:
Some Of our counties pay five cents Il tail
for gophers and in La Moure they pass
as currency. A man goes into saloon
and for his drink throws on the counter
gopher tails. When the drawer is full
they are taken to the county office and
redeemed or paid out. 1t looks a little
novel in church to see gopher narratives
going into the contribution box.

On the silver question the Iron Port of
Michigan states that "the truth is that
the pockets of the people and the channels
of trade won't have the big dollars which
Congress tries to force into them at the
rate of 100000 per month, and they
take in preference the certificates, paper
representative of the heavy metal, and
that is why the value must be dug"
Accepting the logic of the argument as
conclusive" remarks the Mining Review
of Chicago, what fact is proven in re.
gard to gold coinage, when the report of
the Treasury officials shows that larger
number of gold certificates are in circula-
ton, than silver certificates Is the
Iron Port willing to have its conclusions
applied to gold as to silver? The facts
are the same, and it will be difficult to
show that they apply with full force in
one case and must not be considered in
the other"

The Prohibitionists of Bladensberg,

&C pecple who are very religious, who
love their Jesus and 50 into Mysteries
while shouting praises to the Lord, who
never eat until they first render thanks
10 the Lord for the bountiful supply, who
never retire at evening or arise at morn
without saying prayers, and who always
puctually attend camp meeting, where
they indulge in both making and saving
sonls, while the Lord looks down upon
them with approving smiles. These are
the people who call upon the sinners
to repent and come join the "Chosen
Band" and point to themselves as ex-
amples for other people to follow. 1t is
the example and conduct of such good
people as these that causes grave doubts
to arise in so many minds as whether this
religion is naught but humbuggery.
