Col. Reno reports as follows:

SIR IL have the honor to report that
the party, which ran the train off the
track on the B. 6; o. railroad, crossed at
or near Keyes' ford, and had timely iufor-
nation of this crossing and their where
abouts, and would have secceeded in cap
turing some of them had my orders been
obeyed. About 10 p. m. l sent out two
parties under command of Lieutenants
Guild and Chase. These parties were
about fifty strong. Lieut.. Chase was or
dered with his command to cover the
roads leading to different fords through
Bloomery. Lieut. Guild was ordered to
overtake and head off the party, attack
them and drive them back. After he left
camp, instead of following them up he
thought he had better move towards the
river, the diometrically opposite direction
from his orders. Lieut.. Chase, with good
reason, did not expect our men in that
direction and fired into Lieut.. Guilds
command. / regret to say that one man,
private HOgeland, Co. ID, was wounded.
have placed Lieut.. Guild in arrest and
now report him for immediate dismissal,
as he is solely responsible for the miscar-
ciage of my plans. l do not design that
he be court-martialed, as that would oc-
cupy more time than he is worth He is
entirely unfit for a commission, inasmuch
as he takes no pains to improve himself,
nor does he study to render himself
worthy of his position. He, although
never what you could charge as drunken
ness, is always full and when not stupe-
fed with whiskey, he IS with opium His
performance last night is sufficient evil
dence to hang him. As far as can learn
the rebels numbered about 80 men.

Poor Guild was the scape-goat. After
the capture we passed back within half
mile of Col. Renos camp and in quar-

and they must have been stupifed Also
A few days after this raid Sheridan sent
a regiment of cavalry to Duffields, with
instructions "to scour the country and
dispose of the lawless ruffians who are
committing these outrages. No quarters
will be given these persons, who have de
stroyed, by their actions, the right to be

or zinc. Wooden vats coated with
 lead paint are used, another element of cheapness. Tests further show that
 ores hardest to treat by the cyanide
 process are easiest treated by the
 Stephens process. In the Salida gold
 belt the ores abound in iron, copper and lime, so that the district is pecu- liarly adapted to this mode of treat
 ment. Thomas Elder of that city, who
 has extensive mining interests on Camera mountain, has charge of the
 matter of locating a mill in the dis
 trict and is pushing things as rapidly as possible The district presents a splendid field as there are now great many properties of ore that run iron. S1O to $20 per ton. Under present con- ditions ore from the district cannot be shipped and treated for less thai about $20 per ton, so it will readily be seen that the success of this new pro- cess means much to the district.

A large amount of the company's property was destroyed by the Spanish.
 Dr. J. c. Underwood has just taken bond on the Hidden Treasure mine on Lynx creek for himself and his partner, Jesse R. Grant. The prop erty is owned by Judge N L. Griffin and is a very promising one. Not only does it show up well as far as it has developed but it is located in district which is booming at present. Within a quarter of mile of the property there are three mills in ac- I tive operation and two of the very latest improved new hoisting works. There is great activity throughout the district and good results are reported from all the properties that are being worked. Messrs. Underwood anc Grant will put force of men at work at once in the development of the property.-Journal-Miner.
 A mining deal of very great impor- tance has recently been consummatea by James Shirley, who is always on the lookout for properties which have merit in them. Some time since he investigated a property in Big Bug which has a shaft on it about eighty five feet deep and which showed up good ore. He was particularly i'm fpressed, however, with the surface in- ldications, and thought that he saw in the prospect the possibilities of being developed into big property. The mine was being worked as a gold property, although the ore also con- tained copper. MT. Shirleys expert lence in mining showed him that in reality it was a copper property, tha, ore predominating, although rich in gold. He secured bond from the owners, and has just succeeded ir lclosing deal with B. B. Gage of the Congress mine, who will immediately start a force of men at work develop. ing it. At the bottom of the shaft tho Hedge is fourteen feet wide, and there is quite flow of water in it. So thor. oughly is this water impTe5nated witt copper that a shovel left there for { few days had been eaten away, and il it's stead was a sheet of copper. Int property is located within a very shor
 distance of the new railroad to Big Bug, and in the near future a larg, and prosperous mining camp may b.
 expected to be seen there, with tht
 possibilities in the near future of shelter. MT. Shirley has always
 shown excellent Judgment in his SC
 lection of mining properties, ant
 where properly managed they hay,
 always turned out all right The in
 dications are that this one will prov,
 no exception to the rule, and it ha
 certainly fallen into good hands fo its development-Journ Miner

NEW METAL PROCESS.

The Stephens Metal Extraction com pany of Salida, Colo, is just now test ing a new process for extracting val ues from ores If this process can do what is claimed by it's inventor it will revolutionize the established methods of mining. It is claimed that 97 per cent of the values can be saved in gold, silver and copper; that the so- lution used does not attack lead or wood, and vessels made of these ma terials can be used to hold the solu- tion; that the va1nes will be 1eached out in forty-five minutes and that tha process costs from s3 to s4 per ton. This may prove either a big success or a big failure. The result of the prac- tical test will be eagerly looked for
 F. M J.
 Los Angeles, July 25, 1898.
 On this same subject the Western Mining World says: From Salida. Colo, comes the report that thers are now being made In that city a series of experiments and demonstrations of new process of treating ores. If the tests made can be carried out on a large scale. the industry of mining low grade ores will be speedily revolution lzed. The process was discovered and patented by A. G. Stephen of Colorado Springs and has already attracted no little attention from prominent mine and mill men. There is as yet no mil. in the state using the process, but it IS expected that one will soon be To- cated in the Whitehorn-Turret dis trict"
 The process is described as being similar to the cyanide but pc,ssessi3 z many superior points. It is known as The Non-roast1ng Metal Extrac- tlon Process" All the metals are ex- tracted by the ore solution and the ore IS never roasted, simply crushed. The pulp IS put into vats, and the most refractory ore yet tested requires only an hour and fifteen minutes to extract all metal from the pulp Some ore re- qulres only thirty minutes, while the average is about forty-five minutes. Not only. says the Western Mining World, gold is thus taken from the ore, but silver, antimony, copper anc sulphur. The presence of iron or cop- per does not hinder the extraction ot gold, as in the case with the cyanide process which will not successfullv treat ore that contains more than or 4 per cent of iron or copper. Another point is that cyanide frequently re- quires twelve or fifteen <uurs to treat ores that by this process is reduced ir one hour. The chemical used is six times stronger than cyanide, and costs to manufacture, even in small quan- ties, only 2 cents a gallon From 5C to 50 cents worth treats a ton of ore. The owners of this patent guarantee to save 97 per cent of the values con- taIned at a cost of about s250 to s per ton. At that rate, with a mill ad- vantageously located, sS ore can be mined at good profit, while at pres ent the cheapest process known re- qulres that much for treatment. The same paper then says:
 The chemical has no effect on leac

"'Heard anything from last nights stand?'
 "'No,' said, why?
 Nothing he answered, and went off grinning.
 "The next morning in the next town [ he came around and asked the same sort of question:
 "'Heard anything from Tuesday nights stand?'
 He still refused to tell me what was behind the question. He asked the same question every day for ten days. On the eleventh day we crossed into Indiana. He came and sat down by me on the train just after we crossed the line.
 "I'll tell you about that now," he said. I told him to go ahead.
