The undersigned, of Auburn, Placer county,
is prepared to give reliable and correct tests and
assays of gold and silver bearing quartz, in par
GELS of from one to ten pounds, on the following
principle of working sulphuret ores.


My invention relates to an improved method
and process of treating ores and sulphurcts
which contain the precious metals, for the pur-
pose of desulphurizing and disintegrating them
in order to render them capable of being easily
separated, and to render the metals contained in
them capable of ANAL lgamation and extraction.


My process is particularly adapted to that
class of ores known as " rebellious Ores which
cannot be worked in the ordinary manner of
working ores, owing to the peculiar chemical
combination of which they are composed 1t
consists first, in subjecting the ores to bathing
and burning process in peculiarly constructed
furnace; and, secondly, in placing the ores, after
burning, in a solution prepared to receive it, by
which it is thoroughly desulphurized and the
cohesion of the particles destroyed, setting free
the gold and silver, and leaving it in such state
that it is capable Of easy amalgamation.


Thus far have explained the first part of my
method or process for desulphurizing and disin-
tegratng ores, which differs from the usual
method of roasting only in the form and arrange
ment Of the furnace and the use of jet of steam
for settling any light particles of metal which are
inclined to be drawn off by the draught.


1t is essential in working ores by my method
that the ores should bo thoroughly calcined, in
order that all the volatile parts shall be driven
off, which will leave it easy to amalgamate.

A MEETING of the citizens of Auburn was called
for Thursday evening by an editorial notice in
the Stripes to take action looking to the preven-
ton of fires. The suggestion was good one,
but it was not needed, probably because the
time was too short, or that the call waspublished
without consultation with our people. There
was no meeting, but there should be one. We
do not feel like taking the responsibility of call
ing meeting, but we do advise property owners
to consult together and consider the advisability
of calling one.

About o'clock on the morning of the Goth of
September, when all Nature was at rest, and the
busy tribes quietly reposing there was suddenly
heard an agonizing cry of fire! when all who
were within hearing distance were disturbed from
their sweet slumbers only to behold the destruc-
ton Of most magnificent mill-complete III
workmanship, and made ready for the start.
When the FIRE was first discovered it was no big
ger than a mans hand, but for the want of water
it soon spread itself into mighty blaze. In a
few seconds the whole building was enveloped in
flames, the light from which Illuminated the
most distant Skies and the effect as seen from
the surrounding hills, was awfully grand. The
magnitude of the fire, the falling beams, the
dancing sparks, AID the brilliancy of the flames
ascending towards Heaven created a sight which
will not soon be forgotten. The destroying ele-
ment continued its rayages for about half an
hour, when the work of destruction was oon-
plete and this fine mill left o heap of ruins. All
that possibly could be dono by man was done in
this case in order to save the machinery, but to
no avail, whatever; the fountain of waters had
in some measure dried up and even in this try
ing hour failed to yield supply sufficient to
quench the dcvourng flames. The loss, l pre-
sumo, is covered by insurance, and the company
is preparing to rebuild-even without any insur-
ance l think the work of rebuilding would COM
mence at once, rs few crushings of the rock


taken from the Peachy ledge would pay the cost
of a new mill; besides, the late important and
rich strike made in the st. Patrick mine must,
to certain degree, stimulate the stockholders to
active operations. CAPTAIN FAULL.

INDIAN Town BURNED.-O Sunday last the
town of the Auburn tribe of Diggers located
in sight Of town high hill, east of the
railroad, was burned to the ground, and nearly
all of the winter supplies destroyed with it. Cap
tain Tom is chief of this branch of the tribe and
is good Indian, but has much trouble with his
mahalas and young bucks who have not yet
sowod all their wild oats. Captain Tom informs
us that for two days before the fire two Mexcans
had been visiting the camp, bringing whiskey
and making all his young subjects drunk; that
regular drunken pow-wow had been the result,
ana that to this cause alone must be attributed
the fire These Indians harmless when let
alone and these greasers who bring them whs-
key should be watched and visited with the Sc
verest penalties of the law.

BASE BAL1.-The base ball champion ship of the State has been taken from the Mansfelds of Middletown by the Osceolas of Stratford. We imagined from what we saw in Wolcottville that the Osceolas were not a very easy club to beat. The Nation. al championship appears to lie between the Athletics of Philadelphia, the White Stock ings of Chicago. and the Red Stockings of Boston.

 We are in receipt of the score of game in Kent, but owing to the crowded state of our columns are unable to publish it.

This could be done by taking them out of the country or by placing them on small reservations in the country, properly guarded, and compelling them to report daily.

 CLASS HOTEL.

 But If 1t become necessary to rent a room at a first class hotel, and board them therein, 1t can be demonstrated that it would be far cheaper ito say nothing of the lives that would be saved) than to pursue the Colyer policy.

 I have examined the minerals of Arizona very carefully, and l believe 1 hazard nothing when I say that with security for life and property for five years we would export an- nually $2O,OOO,OOO of gold and silver. Then why not give a practical man like General Crook the settlement of this question? He has never failed before, and says he was never more confident than now that he can ill a brief period succeed here. If allowed to do the work 1t will result in saving the lives of both Indians and whites, for the sooner the war is finally ended the sooner blood will cease to flow. It will also save the expenditure of mil lions of money and allow the resources of the Territory to be developed and add to the metallic currency of the country many millions annually.

LITTLE Rock, July l0.-As per pre-
vious announcement in the Demo
cratic press of the State, the Demo
cratic State Central Committee OF Ar
kansas met here this morning. All
the members present, either in person
or by proxy, except two. The meet
ing was harmonious and characterized
by a great deal of good feeling. Be
yOnd the usual informal interchange
OF opinions nothing was done, and
after the lapse Of perhaps an hour or
so an adjournment was had until
evening.


At the evening session the commit
tee discussed the propriety of holding
State Convention next fall. But few
favored it, and 1 do not now think a
Convention will be held. But, as the
Committee will be in session some
hours tomorrow, and, like all NOR
tails, are liable to change, especially
after they have had an opportunity OF
consulting the outside Influences, that
here are potent, would not be
surprised if a change comes DER the
spirit of their dream, and an order for
a convention were to issue. We shall
see what we shall see. One thing
do know, that a majority of the mem
bers are in favor of the adoption ol
the Ohio platform, which it is be
lieved by them will be acceptable to
the Democracy OF the State. This,
think, very doubtful. So far as can
learn, a majority Of the people OF
Arkansas favor the national platform
Of 1868. The committee, it is thought,
will adjourn tomorrow.

Frederick Watts, Commissioner Of
Agriculture, iu a recon. letter, says:
"The experience of many years has led
me to the conclusion that the deteriora.
tian Of the crop is mainly attributable
to the improper use Of barnyard manure.
In our practice the clover sod is turned
down and planted with corn. The
ground is again plowed in the spring
and sowed with oats, and upon the
stubble Of this crop all the manure OF
the barnyard is put then plowed again
and sowed with wheat. This delicate
plant is thus subjected to the rawness
and grossness Of barnyard food, with
all its germs Of flies, worms, lice and
bugs-seemingly sufficient cause Of
the unsuccessful growth Of grain so
pure and delicate as wheat. Corn is
the hog Of plants, and will devour food


of any quality and thrive upon it.
Here then, upon the sod, to be plowed
for corr, is the place for barnyard
manure. Bury it deep, and when the
corn is cut of, break the stubble even
with the ground during winter. Iu
the spring, harrow the ground we'll, SOW
your oats upon it and roll it. You will
thus keep your manure where you put
it, and not subject the oat crop to
being thrown down by it. When this
crop is removed, bring your manure
to the surface by deep plowing and
thorough tillage. The barnyard manure
having thus received proper prepara.
tiou, Is a fit food for the wheat plant.
Experience has taught me this lesson.

1t is not generally know, says the
Lancaster (Pa.) InteHigencer, how easy
a matter it is to explore the bottom OF
a well, cistern, or pond Of water by
the use Of a common mirror so that
the reflected rays of light will fall into
the. water A bright spot will be seen
at the bottom, 50 light as to show the
smallest object plainly. By this means
we have examined the bottoms Of wells
fifty feet deep, when half full or more
of water The smallest straw or other
objects, can be perfectly seen from the
surface. In the same way one can eX-
anime the bottom of the ponds and
rivers, if the water be somewhat clear
and not agitated by winds or rapid
motion. If a well or cistern be under
cover or shaded by building, so that
the sunlight will not fallnear the OPEN
ing, it is only necessary to employ two
mirrors, using one to reflect the light
to the opening, and another to reflect
it down into the water. Light may
be thrown fifty or hundred yards to
the precise spot desirable and then
downward. We have used the mirror
to success to reflect light around the
house to a shaded well, and, also to
carry it from a south window through
two rooms and then in q cistern under
the north side of the house. Half q
dozen reflections of light may be made,
though each mirror dimiDishes the

not used to the method try it, and he
