Balfour EXtradited.

BuENOS AYRES, April l6.-Jabez
Spencer Balfour, whose extraditior
to England was granted few days
ago, has sailed for London. AL
though it was generally believed
that he made enormous sums OF
money out Of the building society
in which he was interested, he left
Buenos Ayres in a penniless con-
dition. Miss Freeman, who was
companion, will follow him on the
stNamer Maori.
Ever since it was learned that
Balfour had fled after the collapse
Of the Liberator Building society
and allied concern, the British gov.
eminent made efforts to secure his
eXtradition, on the charge that h
had fraudulently obtained E2O,OOi
from the House and Land Invest
ment Trust. Prior to his flight,
B: or was member OF the
House OF Commons in the liberia
interest, and was prominent
church member.

A DISPUTED CAPTURE.
A Michigan Cavalryman Throws
Light on jeff Davis Disguise

A Michigan Cavalryman Throws
Light on jeff Davis Disguise
Boston, April 16.-The Associa-
ted Press recently published the
following telegram:
"Gen. Henry Harnden, the Union
army officer who captured Jetfer-
son Davis, has just announced pub
licly and positively that President
Davis was not dressed in skirts
when he captured him. This is a
statement OF profound historical
importance, for it throws much
new light on the character OF the
Confederate leader.
Frank w. Mix, OF Stamford,
Conn, formerly Major OF Fourth
Michigan cavalry, has this to say
of the matter:
81 will say that Jefferson Davis
was not captured by Gen. Harnden,
but by the Fourth Michigan Caval-
ry, then under command OF Lieut..
Col. Pritchard, and was escorted to
Fortress Monroe by Col. PritChard
and other officers Of the Fourth
Michigan Cavalry. This is his
tory which l do not think Gen.
Harnden will deny, as it is all
published and a matter of record
at Washington; further, | do not
know Of any history that says
Davis was captured in skirts, but
history does say that he was cap
tured in a lady's waterproof, with
a shawl over his head, so that he
was at first taken for woman and
tried to escape in this disguise, and
this is true history and all on file
in Washington, together with the
disguise

Income Tax Delay.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Copies
of the petition asking rehearing
Of the incC m3 tax question have
been handed to the members of the
Supreme court. There have been
no proceedings in open court, and
no action has been taken on it yet.
A letter has been received from
Justice Jackson saying he would
not be able to come to Washington
this term. This makes it beyond
question that the rehearing of the
income tax case, il ordered, cannot
occur before next October.

JOHN Il. HAMBLETON & Co.,
l123tf No. 104 East Commerce st
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-16

will reduce the most rebellious ores any
kind az comparatively small cost and will
save practically all the metal.
1t is for the purpose of introducing his
process here that Mr.. Burton is in Cali
fornia. Speaking OF it yesterday he said :
The ore is placed in receptacle of about half
& buShel capacity made TO stand an estimated
heat OF 10, 900 degrees, which is a greater heat
than can be measured by any pyrometer now
IN use. The bottoms of these receptaeles are
perforated with holes from one-half to one
inch in diameter. Amy number of these may
be used in battery to get whatever capacity
may DC required. As the ore is heated. the
metal melts and drops in globules down
through solution coming up through the
holes. The basis OF this solution is water with
its gravity increased by adding SALT soda,
borax, alum, cyanide or other acids
Different metals require different densitieS,
depending on The amount of heat required to
melt and cause them 70 leave the ore. The
voltaic arcs could not be formed without in
creasing the gravity, neither would the metal
leave the ore without some hux to make it
BY increasing the voltage one metal after an
other can be removed separately. For instance,
take piece Of ore containing silver, gold, cop
per and lead. With low voltage and moder-
ate amperege and by clevating the solution
into contact through the holes an arc Is formed
and lead VIII be liquehed and 60 down. Then
by increasing the voltage and anlperage silver
woald fau and with copper and gold, all
fusing ut different degrees OF heat.
The works in Canada are for working nickel
md there al the nickel IN the ore is saved,
while ont about half is by the old processes.
Aside from that, by this process and the use
of eondensing stacks all sulphur, arsenic and
other Toiatie and valuable ingredients may be
saved. In other words, everything of value
and all Of II is separated and preserved. II
makes no difference how rebellious the ores
may be-and this means 3 great deal when you
consider how much valuable ore is not worked
al all on account OF the cost by the old pro-
ceSses.
As 10 the cost there is q oraa+ q advantapa The
electricity may be transmitted twenty miles to
q mine from the source OF power, thus saving
cost of hauling the ores. The cost of the appar-
atus IS not over 25 per cent of that of reduction
works OF the same capacity and the cost of the
chemicals from 40 to 80 per cent cheaper.
Mr.. Burton states that he has arranged
to put up ten-ton smelter for working
some rebellious ores in Denver.

MRS. PIXLEY IMPROVING
Mr. Pix1ey Holds His Own, but Does
Not Seem to Gain Any
Strength.

Mrs. Frank NJ. Pixley, who is still con-
fined to her bed by severe illness, is i'm
proving slowly and in manner that
gives hope to the family and friends for
her recovery. Mr.. Pixley cannot be said
to have gained much, but is holding his
own quite vigorously, considering the
severity of the attack.
Mr.. Pixley has spent portion of each
day during the past week on the veranda
of his Union-street home and enjoys the
sunshine. He is a silent sufferer, having
very li1tle to say to those about him. He
seems unable to talk much, confning HIM
self to answering the occasional questions
necessary to be asked and now and then
inquiring as to the health of his wife or ex-
pressing a wish for some personal need or
comfort. His inability to engage in con-
versation does not apparently distress him.
He sits silent and thoughtful, enjoying
the sunshine and the flowers or sleeps rest
fully. Still he appears not to gain in
strength.
The family and the physician are hope
full that in the course of month Mrs.
Pixley will be able to come downstairs
and join her husband, and when that
occurs it is expected that there will be
quite noticeable improvement In the
health of both.
