A NEW PROCESS.

The Beam process consists ill treat ing the ores in muff1e furnace. at nrst by a reduction process, and then by oxydization. The ore, when charged into the furnace, had been mixed with granuN lted carbon, or with sawdust, which has a still high CT reducing power, and with common salt Access Pf air to the muf1e is prevented by well fitting iron doors. In due time, namely, when the ore does not stick any longer to a clean iron tool when stirring, air is admit ted. until a certain physical appear ance Pf the ore indicates the proper time For discharging. 1t is claimed that wonderful results have been achieved by this process, which is ro longer an experiment, as it has been put to practical test in the reduc- tlon q large quantities of ore. All classes of ore containing gold or sil- yer are adapted to this treatment ex- cept carbonates or strictly free mill ing ore.

AT RICHIENBAR.

MT Dan B. Gillette, who is manag- Ing the Gold Note at Richenbar, as well as the Surprise, has expressed himself as being highly pleased with affairs on the lAgua Fria. The Jour- na1-Miner speaking of this we'll known mining man and the properties he manages says:
 MT. Gillette operates mines on tha same lines that any other business Is trapsacted- the profit accru.n ng from it, and not for any stock jobbing scheme, and as a consequence he maintains more or less reticence in regard to details in speaking of h.S properties, although realizing that in general way mining news is as much legitimate subject for the public as other information. In replies to queries propounded to him he stated that he expects to have the new pipe line completed by January 15, when the mill will be started up on ore from the above claims. He says that the entire mill, including the batter ies, has beez podeled. Several new Frue Vanner\ hcentrators have been added and canvas tables have also been put in. He has about 5000 tons of ore already on the dump to start up with. A new hoist is in operation on the main shaft of the Gold Note, which has a capacity for sinking 2,OOO feet, and a new hoist has also been placed on shaft Mo- 6 of the same mine. The machinery will be run by electricity and the mine will be light ed with 1t, the dynamos being run by water power. The shaft on the Gold Note is down 300 feet and about B. 6O0 feet of levels have been. run. In the south drift of the second and third leVelslthey have encountered the best ore. hSy have a solid ore body the full width. of the face of the levels and how much wider they do not know, as they have not cross cutted to determine it. In the north drift thpy have cross cutted the vein. show ing it to be thirty-one feet in width. MT. Gillette has been engaged for eighteen, months in developing the=e properties. and during that time he has spent what would be deemed a comfFtabisr r05rtuIs for fhe majority Of peendeyb ybut he has reached a point now where he will be able to realize handsomely on his investment. Dur ing the above period he has shipped several thousand dollars worth of the nigh grade ore taken from the prop- efty, of which there has been con .<siderable.

THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
General sternberg Makes q Statement Of
Work Done.

| Washington. Oct. 7-GeneraI Stern
berg has sent to the commission inves-
tigating the conduct OF the war the fol-
lowing memorandum relating to the
medical department:
The number OF medical officers al
lowed by law Is inadequate In times OF
| peace. The total number allowed is 1872
There are at resent - vacancies. The
administration OF the surgeon generals
office and the army medical museum
requires six. Eleven are on duty at
medical supply depots and as chief
surgeon of military departments. One
II at the Soldiers Home, 56 are at gen.
eral hospitals, on hospital ships and at
garrtsoned posts. Four have been dis
abled since the commencement OF the
war by sickness. Five are on duty as
chief surgeons OF the army corps This
leaves 81 medical officers available for
duty with the troops In the field OF
these 35 have been appointed brigade
surgeons Of volunteers and distributed
among the various army corps. Since
the declaration OF war the loss by death
has been two and % are now absent
from duty on sick leave.
This deficiency In regular medical
officers has made II necessary to en-
ploy more than $50 contract surgeons
Most Of these doctors from civil life
are doing good service. and many of
them are thoroughly well equipped ply
sicians and surgeons. with ample hos
pital experience.
In addition 20 this. there have been
appointed by the president eight corps
surgeons with the rank OF lieutenant
colonel. "a division surgeons with the
rank Of major and ss brigade surgeons.
also three medical officers for each OF
the regiments Of the United States in
fantry. cavalry and engineers. All VOL
unteer regiments have three medical
officers appointed by the governors OF
states.
The very small proportion OF expe-
rienced medical officers has seriously
embarrassed the efficiency OF the nnedi-
cal department.. but many OF the divis-
ion and brigade surgeons from civil
life have shown great aptitude for the
service and have already become valu- |
able medical officers.
