4 Very Interesting Operation.

4 Very Interesting Operation.
 The new roasters recently put into operation at the Minas Prietas mill are reported working satisfactorily and profitably, and it is really very interesting to watch the operation of thelr ponderous, yet accurate and clocklike machinery. They operate only upon the pulp, or tailings, which has once passed through the mill without yielding all it's metal. By operation of the roasters this pulp passes through process of fire chlor- ination which releases the obdurate metal, and permits the mercury in the pans to take it up when it passes through a second time.
 The pulp is taken from the tailings dump and conveyed to the top of the roaster building, above the mill, by a wire rope tramway, and is dumped on a receiving floor; thence it is passed to drying floor, consisting of plates of iron laid as the top of the back end of the furnace. On this floor the pulp is mixed with about five per cent of ground salt. It is turned once while in that part of the process, and when it is completed it is shoveled into carriers on each side, which convey it to elevators. The latter empty the pulp into bins, whence it is fed into the roasters by automatic feeders. The roasters are large, iron cylinders, sixty-two inches in diameter and and thirty-six feet long. They are re- yolyed by gearing of cog wheels con nected with three horse power en- zine, and can be made to travel fast or slow, as to the length of time de- sired to subject the pulp to the roast. The roasted pulp falls through the furnace to a chamber below, whence it is conducted to cooling floor. Thence it goes to the battery pans in the mill
 As heretofore stated the operation Is very successful. There are two roasters, which handle each fifty tons of pulp daily. The product of each ton is so large that very handsome margin is left after all expense is paid. There is stated as in the dump sufli- cient tailings to keep the roasters employed two years; and the mine and mill add to the pile about as rapidly as the roasters can reduce it.
 The inauguration of this new pro- cess is another addition to the per manence and importance of the work at Minas Prietas.

There is a report current that sev- eral cattle buyers have forfeited their deposits and have not appeared to take the animals contracted. It is said that 1900 head in one bunch have been at Calabasas a month and the buyer who had contracted them failed to materialize. One or two others with smaller punches have been served in the same way.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Wheat acted rather
erratic to-day. 1t was weak at the opening,
then firm then weak again until just about
two minutes from the close, when there
was sharp recovery of about &c per BUSH
ell. 1t left off at about ssc higher than
on Saturday. There was no apparent cause
for the sudden bullishness further than
the buying by the bulls. which was started
by the very much smaller increase in the
visible than had been looked for and the
continuation of the buying after the short
sellers had got to the end of their ropes.
Corn and oats were easier and January
provisions a trifle higher.
Wheat was a trifie weak at the opening,
with sales &c to sc below the close Satur-
day, but the decline was quickly checked
and soon fully recovered. When the WIS.,
ible supply was posted the market showed
good deal of strength and sold &c above
the low point early The comparatively
strong tone the market maintained was
something of a surprise; the news outside
of the visible supply statement seemed
decidedly bearish. Liverpool was weak and
