unex-pectedly

that

all were

he

said:

The

next day

made his appearance in

the

drift,

but

the

meu hud on the

watch. for Aiiu and were not

_caught

napping.

Taking

a candle

the

superintendent

again examined

the

face of the

drift

and iu doing noted

that it

had

not

been advanced more

than

a foot beyond the mark he had made

the

day before.

"Well,

well,"

said

he,

"the

rock is as

hard

as

_eyr,

_{my children.}

It

must be very

hard

work to make any progress in such rock?"

"O,yes, il is

indeed!"

cried all

the

"soldiers."

'I'm

afraid it

is

almost

too

hard

for you," said the

superintendent

"I

hardly

know how we are to

get ahead with

this drift.'

"O, we'll worry

through

with it,

Bir! ' cried all

the "soldiers."

"At

said

one of the men when

the

_{superjndentent}

left. "Yes, we've

got

a

snap here,"

said another and

all

bands

became very

merry

as

_they

_{softly aaid to} one

another

"The

rock is

hard

as ever, my

children."

After leaving

the drift, the

super-intendent

went

at

once to

the

sur-face in aeareh of

his

foreman. As soon as

that

officer was found he said

to him:

"Do

you know tbe men who

are at

work in

tbe

old

drift north

on

the

1,200 level?" "Yea,

sir."

"Well,

thiy

are

not

the

"Yea,

A

_day

or two

after

the

_superin

saw one of

_{the discharged}

men loafing on C

street.

Going up

to

he said in

''How

THE

AUSTIN PROCESS. Assayer A. 1 _(ioodell

returned

Sunday

from Kokoino, where on

Thursday

last

he observed the blowing

in

of

the

big Austiu

furnace built for the

purpose of

matting

ore from

the

Wilfly mines. The

_principle

of the

Austin

process, as we

underetunl

it,

is to

concentrate

or matte iron

sulphides, utilizing the sulphur

in

thG ore for fuel. This novel fuel is

kept

going by a

hot air

blast. The success of

the

scheme has been _only

partially

demonstrated as yet. Mr. Goodell

left

Kokomo before

tbe experiment had

proceeded to

tbe

point of dispensing with

other

fuel and leaving

the

_sulphur

to do

the

work While

it

sosms likely

that the

process will be successful in a measure, we do

not

find

our-selves able to believe

that it

will

be

possible to

dispense altogether

with faol.

furnace

erected

claims

of a cnst-iru- u _{trough three}

lined

with

boiler

plate where

the

divid-ed by

partitions

into three

di-visions, iu each of these a roller two feet

diameter

and twelve

inches

wide works.

The

method of working is

de-scribed

in

the

following terms:

"The quartz

is

And Iheu fed into

the

first division; in

_{this part there}

is a

_quicksilver

well,

into

which

the

quartz

drops,

and

from

there

pusses

under

the

first roller, where

it

is crushed ton

si.o

that

will allow

it ta

pass

through the grating

fixed in the

division iuto the

second

compart-ment,

where

it

is

crushed

finer, and

then

passes

through

a punched

grating

with 200 boles to

inch, also fixed in a

_{division; it}

then

flows iuto a

well

hoed

with amalgamated copper plate, from

_{there it passes under the}

third roller,

and is

still further

cround, and

then flows over anoth

er silver

well also lined with amal--_j

gamated

plates,

and

from

this it

nows over a

and is dis

charged."

Mr. _{Meekison proceeds;}

I lie niactiiue

at

my

visit

driven

by a horse,

and after it

was

taken out

I tried

to turn the

gear.

and

found I _{could easily}

_{drive the}

macbiue.

The speed was 54 oscil

lations

per minute, and

the distance

it oscillated

was

_eight

inches. Mr.

Mudie informed me

that the

day licfore

he crushed

five

trucks

of

quartz

in

eight hours,

these 1con

sider

would bold

tak-ing this

as an

average,

I

think this

crusn

ma-chine the

amount would lie

increas-ed.

There

was u:

_{used, as}

the

water was

_brought

in _pipes from a dam on a

_high

level. This

machine

required very

little

fixing,

with-out anv

_labor,

and

I think

it

would be

suitable

for

_parties

of

miners,

especially in

_outlying

dis-tiict-a,

aud

with

reasonable

care

there

is very

little

chance of

break-ages. I

think the

machine could be

_improved

by

putting rings

of

bematit

iron on

_{the rollers(}

_wedged

these

could easily he renewed

instead

of

would be no wear on

Thousands

of people

aaw

and admired this ore

what is

a fact," said

a miner who was

_{listening to Ids}

talk,

"only

the other day I had

sold

short

on

Norcross;

by

rubbing the

topoff a figure

nine

be so

far

reduced

the

price

of

that

stock as

to

cause me to spend five

dollars in treating

friends and jubilating.

A San

Francisco man

was intro-duced to a Comstock

miner

named

O'Brien

who

_{through the}

prema-ture explosion

of a

blast

had

lost

an

arm,

an

eye

and

one ofhis ears. Said

the San

Francisco man:

"I

beleive,

_sir,

you

are

of the

O'Brien

family of

Grass Valley, in my State'?" _"Yes,

_{sir," said}

the

jocu-lar remnant

"yes,

sir,

I'm a

frag-mentary

section of

that

family." Savage had

tumbled

and

the

philosophical dealer

was

"hurt"

and

a _{good deal}

rattled.

Turning

to a

slfi

k and

_plump

broker who stood iu

the

door of

his

office,

the

philosopher

waved his

hind

toward

the

crowd pressing

about

the

bul-letin board iu

front

and

_bitterly

said: "Behold the

shorn

lambs of

your

flock of stock

dabblers

?" "God

_{tempers the}

wind to

the

shorn lamb," solemnly

said the stock broker.

"It

is so

writ-ten," said

t,he

_{philospher, "and}

we

learn

to

endure

the

wind, who

shall temper unto

us

the whirlwind!" and

he hastened

into the nearest

saloon to test

the

ameliorating

influences of the

bot-tled

"word"

wheu

_{poured into the}

vortex of a personal cyclone.

Even

the

boys of

the

Comstock

are

well up in

the

business of

running

mines.

_They

often amuse

themselves

by

constructing

minia-ture

mines. The

other

day some

little

fellows who were

_playiug

at

had
