The BIackIeg.

We learn that this fatal disease has
broken out among the calves in Pine Val
ley, a number having already died Of it.
How far il may extend is q matter OF pure
speculation. but that its presence Is dreaded
very greatly by the stockmen there is nc
doubt. The disease, it seems, rarely at
tacks stock over a year old though 1t does
so occasionally. The victims to II are,
also. nearly ALWAYS fat calves, the lean
ones being passed over by it. II appears
first as a lump on the brisket. Thence II
extends down into the leg turning the flesh
black. II is generally fatal but may, al
times, be cured. Stockmen say that by
lancing the lump calves are occasionally
cured. A dirty. watery matter runs out
which brings relief. After the disease has
gone far there is apparently no known
remedy. Ross Wright. who owns stock
with his brothers in Ruby Valley, tells us
that he examined the stomach OF one OF
two calves that died OF blackleg and found
the food in the stomach gathered into q
lump and as hard as a brickbat. TIT
disease travels over a zone Of country.
beginning one year where 1t stopped the
year before. About four years ago II
came into Nevada from Montana, moving
northeast and southwest and was attended
with considerable loss, notably IN Elk
county, one half OF the calves dying In
Ruby Valley. 1t may be that the seeds
of the disease are terminating on the
back track in this State this year.

A FORTUNE LYING IDLE.
Heirs Wanted for Two Hundred
Thousand Pounds.

Another estate is waiting in England for
heirs to turn up in this country. Heirs
are wanted Of Helen Blake, supposed
daughter OF Sarah and Richard Sheridan,
who married Gen. Robert Blake in Glasgow
in 1919. 1t appears in the history Of these
families that Helen was supposed to be a
daughter Of Richard Sheridan, q shipping
merchant OF Dublin, who married Sarah
Cassidy from the County Of Csvan in 1885,
and had several children. In 1919 Gen.
Robert Blake, Of the English army, a SOD
OF Sir Francis Blake, Of Irish Castle,
fell in love with Helen and she was
married to him. This marriage was
violently opposed by Sir Francis, but
Robert succeeded in securing her hand
and heart nevertheless. He was possessor
Of large estates and the money incomes
thereof, and when he made his last will
and testament in 1851 be bequeathed all
his Estates, real and personal, to his wife.
She died intestste in September. 1876,
leaving a large estate in Norfolk. England,
worth, it is estimated, more than ST. ,000.-
900, and as no relatives or next OF kin
came forward to claim the estate, the
Solicitor OF the Treasury took out letters
of administration for the Grown on the
estate, and it is now waiting for the proper
heirs, the nearest relatives Of Helen Sheri'
dan Blake. Solicitors In England have
sent the case to James Usher, the we'll

Separating Gold and silver from
Arsenide of Iron.

Edward Probert Of Eureka, New, says
the Mining and Scientific Press, has just
patented through the Mining and Scien-
tifc Press Patent Agency a process of
separating gold and silver from arsenide
Of iron. The arsenide of iron ia first
melted in a shaft, cupola, or other fur
mace, ana then tapped out into iron pots
lined with clay or other refractory sub
stance. While the material is still in q
fluid state, and at its highest possible tenn
perature, Mr.. Probert introduces q certain
proportion OF its weight of graduated lead
or litharge into it. The litharge is re-
duced by the action OF the deoxidizing
agents contained in the arssnide of
iron, and the lead is precipitated,
carrying down the gold n silver al
loved with itself. The g~ranulated lead,
when used a. the equivalent OF litharge,
acts in a similar way, though with less
effect, alloying itself with the silver and
gold by its affinity for those metals during
its passage downward through the bath Of
molten material.
The material treated by Mr.. Probert is
shown by analysis to contain about SO per
cent arsenic, go per cent iron, with mi
mute quantities Of other metals. includ-
ing silver and gold. In order to remove
the argentiferous or auriferous lead alloy
from the pot, a small tapping hole Is
provided at the bottom, or the whole
contents may be allowed to cool, mt the
lead alloy finally be separated after the
solid block has been removed from the
pot.
OF course the inventor 10 aware that
litharge is universally employed as q fux
in assaying and smelling ores, but In this
operation it is used for the purpose OF dis
solving the metallic oxides and other sub
stances constituting ores, and is, there
fore, a true fiux, and is used as such as
well as to absorb the precious metals con-
tanned in the ores. But he has found that
this process does not give as satisfactory
results when arsenide iron 10 present IS
that which he has discovered. The reac-
tions do not take place as certainly mol as
completely In ordinary smelling as by a
subsequent treatment OF the previously
smelted arsenide with litharage or lead,
and it is precisely in this subsequent
treatment In pots outside the furnace ia
the value of Mr.. Probert's improvement
consists. He does not, therefore, patent
the use OF litharge or lead for separating
gold and silver from srsenide OF iron
in the ordinary process OF smelling,
but simply his process, which Is to treat
the previously smelted substance (arsenide
OF iron) with graduated litharge or granu'
lated lead, while it is still in q huid state,
in iron pots lined with refractory material
TO resist the corrosion, outside OF ana
apart from the smelling urnace.
