AS A GOLD PRODUCER.

When the time shali come, as come it will. when production below the water level in this district shall be progressive fact, chief interest is most certain 10 center in the gold bullion that will flo@ from this producer. From the earliest inception of the camp 10 the present time the univei- sal result in all the producing mines has been that with increased depth has come additional gold value to the bullion. There has not been an ex- ception to this rule on the two great belts. The last annual report of the T. N. & Nj. Company shows a product of nearly s50,OOO in gold to 239, ,S9l ounces silver. Considering the fact that most of this product has come from dry portions ol the mines. this is splendid showing.
 Says SuPt. Staunton: At the sur face Uucky Cuss) the ore averaged about thirty ounces silver, a trace Oi gold and un Ter five per cent lead. At the sixth level the average grade is about seventy five ounces silver, one ounce gold and ten per cent lead. On the West si,le vein the new ground so far opened has been strikingly high in gold"
 Aside from these practical demon strations of Tombstone's gold merit, the subject is still further not without theoretical interest. To the west oi COmstock hill and extending north ward into the Dragoon mountains runs a granite belt acting immediate iy below Tombstone as a header to that portion of the immense wash that for ages has been sweeping down Wal nut gulch. As this watershed has for it's main head the AnteEopeigold fields, as well as being directly in the strike of the ore of this camp, with A probab- le bedrock level of 300 to 1000 feet be- low Contention hill, the levels thai will eventually undermine that sec ion are llable to find increased gold merit at the base of this anIi-elinal and probable contact of different ior- nations.

AIR AS FUEL.
Wonderful Accomplishment in tn.

4 Wonderful Accomplishment in the
 Field of Science.
 The narvels of scientific discovery and mechanical invention crowd upon latter day nineteenth century folk in a man ner rivaling the play of kaleidoscope figures. One accepts, nowadays, what be sees, as his fathers did of old, but unlike them, he is not prepared to dis pute tlse possibility of anything within the range of conception One of tn, most wonderful reasons of application of human reason in employing an es- sentiai element of the universe for human purposes is that described in a recent issue of Bradstreet's by Mir. Lorin Blodgett, a well-known member of the Franklin institute of Philadel- phia.
 This is nothing else than the use of atmospheric air as fuel. Air is mixed with coal gas as everyone knows. and with hydro-carbon vapors. and the com pound when burned generates a much greater hea5 than If the ar was absent. So, too, a powerful air blast is a great economizer in smelting and reducing ores. But the new fuel is the air itself which in a powerful blast is directed upon an incandescent substance, say coal made white hot, pure carbon or any other materials that can be made to glow. Coal hydrocarbons or what not may be employed to give the initial incandescence, but once the blast strikes the luminous body, the utmost intensity of heat is secured. apparently by the combustion of the air, and may be maintained for an indefinite period by merely preserving the incandescence of the surface. and this may be done by a slight manipulation of the surface brought to incandescence, and with some slight renewal of carbonaceous material

F. T. Bsrnum's Impression of the Worlds
 Greatest City.

A
 Greatest City.
 One of the most durable and constant impressions that have got from Lon don. and from England, too, is the solid ity of everything there, wrote the late F. T. Barnum in the North American Review. The English people do not believe in shams or sham work. Their docks and public monuments, and all their public works, express a sense of permanence. They are built. appar- ently, to hold the planet down, and tc stay.
 If it is a seat in the rark or water ing trough you are noticing, it is no less thoroughly made than the Thames smbankmeut. Indeed. the trough and seat will be found hewed out of solid stone.
 said, many years ago. when I was abroad, that Paris makes thing to last for day, America makes it to last a week. but England makes it to last for ever.
 They have good roads-far better than ours-but they do not take to light wagons like ours. The frames of some of their vehicles are as heavy, if not heavier, than the balloon frames we put in our houses.
 And how ashamed it makes one of New York to see, as one does in Lon don, the smooth and well-payed streets, and carriages going over them equipped with rubber tires to deaden the noise! Asphalt is now the common pavement, and the one most preferred. although certain streets are macadamized in a fine and thorough way. The asphalt pavement becomes so smooth that the horses, when they go down hill over which it lies, do not lift up their feet, but slide-almost skate-down the in- cline. Their intelligence has taught them that this is the easiest and most practicable way.
 On the other hand. horses that have ] never been away from prairie. or ex- tremely level country, do not learn the use of the bre eching on a harness, and l 20 down hill, if they are ever removed to a country of different topography, without attempting to hold back, and | without knowing how.
