OF PRACTICAL VALUE.

In an article in the issue of Sep ten1ber 4 of the Mining and Sc e1tific Press. Mir. PoStlethwaite tells of New Zealand riYer dredging for gold, giv- ing some pfactfcat pointers on what has proved to be valuable method, and modestly suggests that while California can teach the rest of the world a good deal about gold mining, this is one of the methods in which another gold producing section Of tha globe can teach California. Costly experience and effort in ..ew Zealand have evolved 6 system of river dredg
 ing which California can note and follow with profit. The inventive California miner has in the last fifty years produced great many devices that others, elsewhere, have adopted, but this state has no feeling of self suficiency, and gladly gains from any and every source anything of prac- tical value While there is no corner of the globe where gold mining is car ried on that California device is not found, yet everybody is wiser than anybody" and collective genius is needed to solve the many hard prob lens encountered in mining gold

Such degree of knowledge is sometimes manifested by millmen, and to hint that their methods and practices might be inn proved would not to their ideas be orthodox. But such 1hide-bound op- orators are, fortunately, few, and Cal ifornia possesses a very small per- centage of them. It is only by inter- change of ideas, publication of ex- perience and result of experiment that general knowledge can be se- cured Science is simply organized knowledge, and is resultant on such articles as that furnished in this journal by MT. Postlethwaite. For nearly thirty-eight years this paper has encouraged the publication of such articles written by men who know what they are talking about, and it is believed that the means of intercom- munication thus afforded those who guide and control the operation ot mines, mills and mining systems the world over has, more than anything else, aided in the progress of scien- tifc mining. The thousands of tech nical and descriptive articles on diff ferent mining matters published here in constitute a record of experiment experience and practical knowledge unequalled elsewhere, and any com munication from practical mining man is always gladly given the promi. nence that it's merits warrant.

A NEW sTERILIz1NG PROCESS

A Frenchman. M Cassius, has pat ented a process for the sterilization of all fermentable liquors by means of compressed oxygen. To sterilize liu- uids such as milk, beer, Guueurs. it
 sufices to subject these liouids in q

The New Electric Process Mill in the
 Cochiti Ready to Blow In.

The New Electric Process Mill in the
 Cochiti Ready to Blow In.
 Santa Fe, N. M., Sept. 1.-The new electric process mill erected in the Cochiti district by w. B. McPherson of California will blow in tomorrow. The first run will be made on Lone Star ore. Thomas Lowthian and Charles H. Toll of Denver, Chester Greenwood of Telluride and other Colorado men own this property and word is at hand to the effect that an other big strike has been made there in. In the upper tunnel an immense body of high grade gold and silver ore has been opened that averages $75 to the ton.
 The copper ores for this Cochiti mill are to come from Amizett, Taos county, and the Denver & Rio Grande road will get nice rake-off from the business Mr Howard, the ore buy CT, arrived from Amizett yesterday, after having contracted for five car loads of ore, and the future shipments will average about fifty tons per month. The Denver & Rio Grande company has done the handsome thing by New Mexico home industries by making rate on this ore of s3 per ton from Tres Piedras to Santa Fe, and from this point it will be hauled by Andy Horns teams to Bland. a distance of forty miles, at reason able figure.
 Another Cochiti deal of note is the leasing and bonding of the Union mine by A. L. Finch at a handsome figure. The pay lead on this prop erty is twenty feet in width, on which some 200 fee1 Of development has been done. It is owned by Delegate Fer guson and James May of Albuquer- que, George Hopheins, w. L. Cole and otners of Bland.
 It is also reported from Cochi.i to- day that Pueblo, Colo, capitalists who have purchased the right to han dle the Beam roasting process in New Mexico have been over the grou-d and decided to erect a ff1y-ton plant at Bland.

and DR.. Lyman of the Mendoza state
hospital, are here attending the case of
Maria Kicks. the well-knOwn window
smasher who has made herself known
throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin
within the last few years. The woman
demanded a jury trial, but upo
the arrival Of the state officials she
withdrew the request and was commit

at Mendoza. The state officials have
agreed to bring experts from Chicago
and elsewhere to determine her sanity
If it should prove that she is sane, she
is to be released and will hereafter be
sent to the state prison or lodged in the
local jails according to the nature of
the Offense she may commit. Her re-
cord shows that she has been an inmate
of various resorts in the large cities Ct
Wisconsin and Minnesota and that she
has been in the insane asylum at Osh-

at Mendoza on four occasions. She
has also been in the St. Peters and
Fergus Falls hospitals in Minnesota
and in numerous other county and
state institutions in both Minnesota
and Wisconsin. She is a cumbersome
charge, whom the state officials have
tried to get rid of. 1t is conceded that
her residence is in Wisconsin and the

one Of the Ringing brothers had

in the big buildings down on the river

the show having opened in Chicago
only a few evenings before. Further

to whom the ghost of Boss Tweed will

in existence which contain TWeed's
private books and papers. These
trunks were found by Mr.. Stokes, and
are in the possession of an old man
whose name he withholds. The papers
tell of men who, knowing early of
Tweed's thefts, drove him through
threats of disclosure, deeper and deep

In debate of the deputies on the pol

policy Of the government would not
signify opposition to Greece, but would
be in favor of liberty, justice and bal.

thus tending to preserve peace. The
government, he continued, is solicitous
OF the true interests OF the country, but
1t is often forced to assume ungrateful
responsibilities. The dangers of the
moment are grave, he added, and Italy
will cooperate in maintaining an
equilibrium of the powers. In conclu-
sion the marquis said I'VE interviewed

useful to the population of that island
and we are fully conscious OF our du-
ties" A vote of confidence in the gov
eminent was then passed, the vote be-
ing 278 to 1872.
