the doctors appetite is unimpared by

the afiidavits insinuate that Mrs. Wor-

poison here, stating that she wanted it
for rats. He says that there is another

the servant declares tnat Mrs Worrell

the Executive Committee of the Irriga-

has sent here petition for signatures
asking Congress to cede to the several
States and Territories the arid and semi
arid lands within their respective

be universally signed by our citizens. It
has been demonstrated that the general
Government will do nothing with its arid
lands, except to make paper surveys and
exhaustive reports Of no practical utility.

to the government, could, under local
management be made productive and the

Miners, Wage. am / silver.

The following suggestive paragraphs
are taken from the annual report Of
Supt. Shockley, of the Mount Diablo NJ.
h M. Co., Columbus district, Nevada.
Prior TO 1885, miners wages in Can
delaria had been 81 per day, the price of
silver having been for the years before
that between 81. l4A in 1880 and $l.l4 in
1884. In 1885, silver began to 20 down
and in July of that year the price was
$l.07. At this time the companies
operating in this camp decided that they
could payminers but 80 per day, and the
mines closed down. In September of
the same year the miners accepted these
terms, and the companies resumed opera.
tions. This rate Of wages was paid till
August, 1890, when the price Of silver,
which had averaged SO cents in 1886,
9S cents in 1887, "a cents in 1888 drop
ping to 9lf cents In May Of that year)
and SO cents in 1889, advanced to $l.2l
per ounce, and the miners demanded
that their wages be raised to. $3.50 per
day. and as the companies could we'll
afford the increase with silver at that
price the request was granted. Since
that date silver has been almost uniform
ly declining, and it has been nearly i'm
possible for the companies to make any
profit under the existing conditions, and
under these circumstances it was thought
best to offer the following scales OF wages
to the men, which was done on Novem.
ber oath 1891:
"In view Of the continued low price Of
silver the Directors Of the Mount Diablo
Mill & Mining Co. and the Trustees Of
the Holmes Mining Co. have decided to
offer the following scale Of wages to the
miners in thier employ. to take effect on
the 6rst day Of December, 1891:
The amount of days pay shall be fixed
on the first day Of each month, and shall
be based on the average price Of silver
for the preceding month.
"When such average shall be $l.O7
per ounce or more the days pay shall be
$3.5
"When such average shall be less than
Sl.o7 per ounce the days pay shall be So
"Should silver 60 to par t$i.2929 per
ounce) the days pay shall be $4."
The scale was rejected by the miners at
a meeting held November 9th. at which
they passed the following resolution:
sit was moved and seconded that we,
the miners Of Columbus Mining District
shall not work for any mining company
for less compensation than three dollars

upon thee as the El Dorado, the land OF

deed you were till the eneme, OF silver,

thy hills and valleys, thy towns and
cities; heaped curses on thy tiny head
that erst while they would have laid

their disappointment. But yet It's not
thy fault, for in thy breast there lies uu-

OBJECT and tlsss Dsyvn the Mines

One OF the most frequent Of obstinate
ores met with in Peruvian mining is
blende, containing sulphate Of zinc,
which has hitherto baffisd all known
methods Of reducing. The inventor of
new process, Sr. Don Pedro Felix Remy
OF Lima, has, we are informed on good
authority, recently demonstrated before
compel mt assembly Of experts in that
city his discovery, which possesses almost
the same Importance as the system OF
amalgamation discovered by Medina in
1857, which enabled America to supply
the world wfthgits treasures in gold and
silver. The reduction is accom- plished
by means Of re-actiye which the inven-
tor has not yet disclosed, but the
mechanical part Of the operation is con-
Quoted in the following way: The ore is
reduced to powder by means OF stamps;
1t is then calcined in furnace, where the
sulphates and antimony are volatilized.
1t is then placed in barrel mixed with
the re-active; small quantities of iron and
quicksilver is then added. 1t is then ro-
tated for space Of eight or ten hours.
The quicksilver having become amalga.
mated with the silver, is taken out and
filtered through chamois leather and the
gsngue separated. The silver is then re.
heated and cast into bars. In the last
trial, 427 grams Of silver were extracted
from $50 kilos Of ore, or 80 per cent OF
the silver contained. There was no ap-
preciable loss of the mercury. The esti.
mated cost of refining by this method is
% soils, or f3 81. per cajon Of 8 tons, or
fl IS. per ton OF ore. No further re.
commentator of its advantage is there
fore required. This discovery will, it 10
expected, prove Of immense value to Peru
and greatly benefit the mining industry,
and it may be mentioned that the grea
Carahusera vein in the Yauli province,
which is reckoned the third richest in
the world, is chiefly composed Of this
ore containing 20 marcsos Of silver and
10 per cent OF zinc. London Mining

Some tlme has elapsed since the
RECORD has made any allusion to the
extra 10 per cent tax levied by the State
Board OF Assessors and Equalization;
but Me fact still remains and stands out
prominently before those who care to
ses. that this extra tariff has already
cost Lincoln county between four and
five thousand dollars. And this is not
all. Has this body as yet had power
taken, from it in any way? We answer.
emphatically, no! 1t is, under existing
Jaw. unlimited in its power of taxation.
aud who knows what it may do next
year? What i, to prevent its extra tax
being so, instead Of 10 per cent? We
see from our exchanges, there is through
out the State general feeling of dissatis.
faction; but, strangely enough, we do not
hear of any steps being taken to tighten
the burden of this already overtaxed
State.
This honor seem, to have been saved
for our worthy citizen, Hon. George s.
Sawyer, who has started suit to test the
legal existence Of the Board, and the
0onstitutionality Of the act creating it.,
% well as the legality Of their acts.
