THERE is something radically wrons

THERE Is something radically wrona with the present county clerk, and an ex pert will be employed to look into the county's affairs over W hich be has had control. Demands against the county that are left almost exclusively to the clerk for verifioation, have been found wrong m several instances, and upon one occasion three separate warrants bearing the same number were drawn up by him. The chairman of the board i, not expected to attend personally to all clerical work of the office, and Jet any errors m the business are generally laid al his door, and 10 certain degr he becomes responsible for the faults of the clerk. These instances of careessness or design are of frequent occurrence, and the patience of the board is often taxed with the inexcussbls short-com- ings of the clerk. Oaly few dsys ago be was put m possession of lists of elec- tion officers proposed by the respective political parties, and tha. submitted by the democrats was not to be found when 1t vas called fer, but other names were substituted. A copy had been made of IL, however. and even its correctness was disputed by interested parties. The doc ument was subsequently found in front Of the clerk after the occasi for ref erence to it had passed.
 More glaring aud totally inexclssb'e evidence of incompetency or knIvsry, We shall not say which, has just come to light. The registering officer at Psnta- no was not furnished with the blanks for the Gftidavits by applicants for registra- tioD. He wrote to the County Clerk concerning them and received u reply that be had been fuTnIshed all She documents necessary. He was a new registering officer and was not well versed in the requirements of the law. but he realized that something was lack ing and he sent one, two, and even three notes of inquiry to the clerk which were never answered. The result IS that ten voters in the PantanO precInct were returned registered but without the essential affidavit. and they will be deprived of lheir vote unless a means of .eesifyiDg the error is discovered in time to retain these names upon the great register. Hartt's camp, in the Santa Ritas, wss served in the same manner, but the scheme was detected in time by cssual visitor who under stood the requirements of the law.
 These are no random charges, but tley are matters of record or suscepti- blc Ui proof. If they are the results of deslSn the clerks culpsUilty should not be overlooked; If they are over sights from his carelesness, they prove his utter Incompetency, and in either case they prove his unfiiness for sn any responsible position III the gift of the IeOpie and particularly that of county recorder, to which he aspires. for the risk IS too great with records that involve the title and possession of vast properties. The people gre given these plain facts snd are asked 10 judge for them elves of the fitness of Fred c. ] Hughes for further trust and respon- | slbil,ties.

TIE Star compares an old bill ot eI- pense by Sheriff Paul for transporting prisoner to Yuma when the railroad fare WAS about double what it is now, with 8 recent one by Sheriff Shaw. and attempts to make capital out of the sp- parent difference. The railroad fare constitutes about all there is to breg over m the matter. Mir. Paul did not attempt to stand up the county by making a double charge for the same item of expense, like that the super visors threw out of Shsw's bill. If the Star can advance TO better display ot "fggers" to cover up the shortcomings of its candidate for sheriff it may as well abandon its complcity with the at' tempted larceny.

The following description of the pro- cess employed in separating the two metals-gOld and silver--is from the He lena, NJ T, Herald: Three parts of sil- yer iz required to one part of gold in or der SO be separated by nitric sc.d. The gold !s precIyitated to the bottom of tho vessel iD small black particles resem- tling black sand, and the silver goes iD- to solution with the nitric scld, forming nitrate of silver, although a heavy opa- que and lustrous metal, is entirely invi- sible and to all. human appearance en- tirely destroyed. The process of re claiming the silver IS simple, and is done by pouring the fluid solution of into another vessel and throwing into 1t a small quantity Of chloride of sodium tcommon salt). The chlorine of the salt immediately enters into combination with the silver held in solution by the acid, forming chloride of silver, and falls to the bottom of the vessel like snow flakes. The water IS poured off and the chloride of silver thus obtained IS mixed with carbonate Of soda and melted in a crncible, the soda combining with the chlorine and setting the silver free and reducing It 10 it's original metal condi tion without any loss of silver.
