year passes that half a dozen electrical
processes for treating ore are not invented
One of these machines has been working
for time on the tailings of big MIL at
Park City, Utah, and large quantities OF
quicksilver, ETC., were to be saved, although
the tailings show only value OF 81 per
ton. The machine is said to have saved
two pounds of quicksilver and nothing else
in two and a half days run, which does not
seem reasonable, especially as the mill is
said to lose a little less than two pounds OF
quicksilver to each ton OF ore worked. The
Utah papers say that in connection with
this work the electric current was turned
off one entire night without the knoWl-
edge of the inventor, but the plates seemed
to work as we'll without as with the cleo
tricity which is supposed to be the means
of saving the metal. The saving seemed
to be as heavy without as with the current.
This may be an eXaggeration, but the fact
remains that the electrical machine made
no marked success. To ordinary mortals
with no technical knowledge of electricity
or electrical appliances the mere connec-
ton of the current with piece of machln-
cry is supposed to exercise some benefi-
cial but occult influence. And half the
time the men who undertake to work such
machines know little more than those who
are expected to buy them.

HALE & NORCROSS APPEAL
The respondents Will Try To-
Day to Stultify the
Stay Bond.
Additional Damages for Frivolous
Appeal Also to Be De-
nanded.

An effort will be made in the Supreme
Court to-day to stulify the "stay bond" in
the celebrated case of M. W. Fox VS.. the
Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Company.
w. T. Baggett will be on hand when
court convenes, prepared with evidence
calculated to prove that the sureties on the
aforesaid bond-W. ]. Dingee of Oakland
and w. S. Hobart, SON of one of the de-
PENDANTS in the case-are not qualified to
serve on the bond, by reason of the fact
that they are not worth the amount of
money requisite, and to the possession of
which they took oath.
The second appeal is taken on the
ground that the original judgment of
$4,000 and interest, aggregating about
$500 900, was not intended to be paid until
the court had passed on the other count of
damages, approximating $789, OO0 awarded
by the lower court for the Imperfect and
fraudulent milling"
When that appeal was taken after the
execution had been filed In the first iudg-
ment of $4,000 and interest, con-
firmed by the Supreme Court, the de-
PENDANT company had to file the stay bond
in twice the sum of the judgment, $500, 600.
That means that each surety qualified in
the sum of $500, 900. Attorney Baggett
said yesterday afternoon that he was pre-
pared to prove that Dingee lis not worth
500 cents.'' He used the expression by
way of illustration merely, though he ex-
poets to show that Mr.. Dingee's assets are
several miles and mills distant from the
$500, 900 mark.
The court gave notice that the hearing
on the $7s9, 900 branch of the case would be
had on the 21st of October. Forty days
are allowed in which to perfect the appeal,
and on the forty-frst day Mr.. Baggett says
he will be on HAND and ask that the matter
be Immediately called and that additional
damages be awarded (as allowed by law)
for frivolous appeal. He will ask that %
per cent be added to the original judgment.
1t is discretionary with the court in such
cases TO award damages varying from to
so per cent If the demand is acceded it
will tack 100000 more onto the judgment
against the Hale d Norcross Company.
The plaintiff and respondent claims that
the appeal is merely subterfuge to put
off the paying of the $780, 600 and that the
court had no idea in its confirmation of
the lower court of deferring the payment
on the first count until the second had
been settled.

TIN CAN INDUSTRY.
cisco With Capacity of One Mil
lion Cans Per Week.

Plant to Be Established in San Fran
cisco With Capacity of Ono Mil
lion Cans Per Week.
A new plant, with capacity of making
one million tin cans per week, will soon
be established in San Francisco. Last year
California used fofy-two million cans, and
the demand will increase in the future.
The new plant will be equipped with
machinery of recent invention, which
greatly simplifies the process of converting
the tin plates into cans, and materially
diminishes the cost of the factory products.
The invention is remarkable triumph
of mechanical skill and inventive genius,
and what it may accomplish in the way of
promoting the industrial advancement of
California can hardly be estimated now.
Many practical men of wide experience
and conservative judgment express the
belief that it will mark a revolution i'll the
canning industry of the United States and
Europe.
Briefly stated, the machine takes the tin
plate and delivers the completed can,
fitted, headed at the top and bottom, and
soldered throughout, without the touch OF
the human hand. Time and money have
been employed to bring the machine to
practical perfection.
Until patents were duly obtained and
every possible step taken under the law to
secure the rights of the inventor and his
associates against infringement, profound
secrecy was maintained. Since the proper
records have been made in the Patent Office
leading capitalists have been allowed to OBJ
serve the process. Within few days arti-
cles incorporating the new company, with
capital of $500, 600, will be filed in the Office
of the Secretary Of State.
The leading promoters of the enterprise
are the inventor, Mr. Johnson, Charles
Josselyn and E. F. Preston.

Electrical Processes for Ores.

If there is any one thing more attractive
than another to mining men it is an cleo
trical process for treating ores. 1t is also
one of the things they know least about.
Possibly some such process may be in
vented which will eventually stand a
practical test in the mining regions in
charge of practical millmen, but thus far
most of these things are such as are ''going

that Lee zee was an operator on sewing

Remarkable Newspapers.

The most extraordinary journal In

pages of double columns, the size OF
the pages being ten inches by eight.
Occasionally it has comic wood cuts.

Concerning the amount produced and
the cost of producing aluminium, the
London Grocers' Review says:
1.-The production of aluminium in
creased from 80 tons In 1890 to 1000
tons in 1892, and the price has dimin-
ished in proportion. 1t was Cos per
pound in 1886, COS in 1889, and now 1t

that q pound of aluminium is so much
bigger than pound of other metals

of ordinary metals-this price cannot
be called high. No aluminium is pro-
duced in England now. Two compan-
les were started in 1SS6-S7, but the
chemical process they employed is now
obsolete. All aluminium sold In the
market is now made by the aid of
electricity. The largest factory Is at
Neuhausen, in Switzerland. 1t is capa-
BILE of turning out 1000 tons a year.
The second largest is in the south of

BURNS.

Success in treating burns depends
upon the completeness with which the
irritation is arrested and the air ex-
Guided.
Surface burns are for the most part
caused by dry heat, from direct con-
tact of the flesh with the flame, or by
moist heat, in the form of hot water or
steam.
Scalds are more painful, and where
the injury is extensive, much more dan
gerous than wounds caused by dry
heat. In burns from dry heat the dam
age to the tissues is generally CON-
plete; while hot water and steam leave
the flesh dead, it is true, as far as its
usefulness Is concerned, but still capa-
BILE of undergoing decomposition and
putrefaction with all the accompanying
dangers.
Whatever their nature. however, all
burns are to be treated alike. IL
caused by heat the part should imme-
diately be wrapped in some substance
that will effectually exclude the air,
which becomes a source of irritation
to the raw flesh. This may be done very
simply and easily by cotton wadding
soaked in carron-oil; or, if these articles
are not at hand, the burn may be sprin-
kled literally with baking soda, starch
or even -four, with just enough water
adde's! afterwnrd to make a thick paste
All blisters should be slightly pricked
before the part is dressed.
After the wound has been smeared
with some one Of the above prepara-
tionr it may be lightly covered with
cotton wadding. The dressing should
be removed daily, and the part careful
ly washed with weak solution Of
carbolic acid-say from three to five per
cent.-and re-dressed.
Burns caused by acids or other irri-
tating substances should be Immediate
ly immersed in running water, that the
irritant may be diluted and carried off.

ASBESTOS.

1t Ia Almost Indispensable Where
Machinery Is Used.
Very few people outside the regular
trade know what enormous quantities
Of asbestos are utilized where machin.
cry is used. Asbestos in its original
state is a fibrous mineral indigenous to
Canada and other places, and is sent
over here in Jumps like pieces Of
raw slate on the top and bottom, while
the sides are covered with fluffy sub.
stance-the fiber, when it is pulled from
the bulk. You can pick each lump to
pieces with your nails, although to look
at it one would think that nothing less
than heavy hammer would make any
impression on 1t.
When it reaches the factory 1t is put
into crushers. These are like the ordi-
nary mortar mixers that you see where
building operations are going on, and
the resulting gritty, fluffy mass is
thrown into what is termed "devil."
The devil tears IL up with sharp prongs
and then sits the grit from the fluff.
The former is used for mixing with the
asbestos in other processes, while the
latter is shot into a receptacle that re-
duces it to u consistency almost as fine
as cotton wool. As it falls from this
machine it looks for all the world like
snow.
In other departments the raw ashes

tain earths to be used for covering the

PERFECT FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
Patented by Il. p. McCasfin, of Tulla-

upon electrical circuits, but which ope-
rates positively in case Of fire to sound
the alarm in all parts of the building
with which the apparatus is connected.
The Improvement has been patented
by Eugene +. McCaslin, of Tullahoma,
Tenn. A combustible cord. preferably
silk, is run around the ceiling from a
peg, passing over guide pulleys, a
weight at the end of the cord holding
it taut. To the weight is also attached
non-combustible cord, whose other
end is secured to tripping lever, pull
upon which disconnects two sections of
n taut wire, one section of which is
connected to extend through openings
into all the adjacent rooms and to all
parts Of the building, having connec-
ton with an alarm at all desirable
points. If the silk combustible cord is
is burned, the weight is dropped and
the tripping lever operated to cause the
separation of the taut wire sections,
thus sounding the several alarms. The
other section of the taut wire is con.
