A TURN OVER.
The local Government Assay Office
Abolished by Depal tment Orders.

Local smelling aud custom house
circles were astonished last evening to
learn OF the new orders from the trea-
surv department at Washington, which
abolishes the government assay Offices
and discharges the government as
sayers at ell the ports OF entries in the
United States.
of clear sky, and the general query
was, ''Where are we at?" This new
order of things les out the entire force
connected with the government as
saying here, headed by Tom Johnson
brother of the late mayor of this city,
and provides that from and after this
date, all pulp samples shall be forward
ed to Washington where they will be
assayed under the direction OF
Col. Preston, director of the
mint, aud returns will b.
emit custom houses of the country.
Now all this will require from fifteen
to thirty days time, and in the mean
time great copsignments of ore must
lie in the railroad yards sealed up and
the money values of the same lying idle
until the director of the mint has time
to assay and report. Custom officials
say that in the nature of things, many
samples will get lost or go astray.
CheD alter several weeks OF uQCerG8' D.
ty, it will be ascertained that the sam
Piles are 'non est inventus," and then
new lots must be forwarded, which
means double delay. And not only
this, but the cars containing the ore
must lie idle all the time the samples
of their contents are not heard from,
unless some special arrangements can
be made to dump each car load in a Sc
parate bin on receptacle OF. some kind
where it can lie until released.
AS the ore receipts at this port some
times run up to niue hundred tons in
one day, the number of samples to be
forwarded will run up to a very stable
figure in the course of thirty days, and
the likelihood of numbers getting lost
is more or less certain. Whose idea
this new order ia, is not known here as
yet, and why government assayers on
the ound cannot do the work as we'll
if not better and more expedit:ously
than to have everything done at Wa>h-
ington is ''shrouded in mystery" At
all events smeltermen and custom Of
fcials agree that great inconvenience
is caused, to say the least; and it is ex-
pected that such roar will 60 up from
smelling centers all over the country
as will bring about resembling of the
order.
