Fryer’s Process, a In company with Messrs, Wal ath, Hunter, Perrim, and Charley Mitchel, of the Grass Valley Union, we -had the pleasure, on Thursday, of visiting the reductiém works of Mr. “18, 1875. . Fryer, about which there has been}, ity. We have always believed the so much interest manifested all over the mining section of the-coast. The party were shown every part of the works, and every step. in thenew process ytas explained’ by the inventot. ‘Rock from different portions of . this State, from the State of Nevada, from -Central America and otber points are at the works, and a good muny tests have been made on the different lots, all of which have been: eminently satisfaetory both to the ‘ operator and the owfers. Specimens of the sock takem out at different stages of progress in the process of reduction, were shown us, _: The machinery with whieh the reOn amine where everything will have sults are accomplished was shown . and explained so that all present} could plainly understand every step arid all connected with the pzoeess, and all agreed,-'as every one must who sees the machinery at work, that it is the most natural method of reducing ores ever put in use. It is perfectly simple, and any man of intelligence can, after a day’s instruction, run the works as well as the inventor, All the machinery used in the process is new and entirely unique, There are five different apparatuses through which ore passes daring . its reduction, each of which isan improvement on anything of ‘the kind nowin use. The battery used for the pulverizing of the quartz . . after the metals in it have been oxydized by roasting, is perfectly novel, and any one who sees it will admit it is far ahead of the stamps and battery in common use. The amalgamating machine is new, the concentrator is new, and in short everything is mew and perfectly xovel. We were astonished when the proprietor informed us of the chemieuls used by bim, as we. supposed . that was asecret he would always keep to himself, Seientifie men have known of them, for centusies, and have used them im the same manner’a thousand times, and they .» willbe surprised when they find a little machinery only was necessary to allow them to reduce ores and and extract therefrom all the precious metals, The first and principal ingreitient used is carbon, which is ‘ manufactured at the works as fast as. needed. In combination with this, afiuid whichis inodorous, invisible, colorless, elastic, the spevific gravity of which, to that of water, is nearly as 1 to 828, and which is composed by weight of 8 parts of oxygen to 28 parts of nytrogen,is used,and that is : ‘aboutall, The success of the pro‘cess is dependent upon the novel process the rock is subjected after roasting is accomplished, We have -no further hesitation in assuring everyone that the new process beyond possibility of doubt is a success, that it must in a short time supersede the present style of reducing gold and silver ores. It is simple and easily understood, and the cost of erecting works, capable of reducing tweaty tons per day, will not exceed that of a first-class quartz. mill. Rock can be worked by it for about $3 per ton. Mr, Fryer does not propose to make test assays with any one, but cordially invites any one to assay the tailings of the roek he has worked, and see if any mineral can . befound, The machinery. and the different apparatus around the woiks are new and all in place, and in ‘werking order, but the proprietor is continually making slight changes in the length, weight, volume or ca‘pacity of the different parts, to discover if improvements can be made ~ in-economy or in increased capacity, ~When it is remembered that every part of the machinery is entirely new, it will not be a matter of surprise that minor alterations are frequently neoessary, Itis thought best to make: them now, instead of doing 80 after expensive works huve been grected to stop while it is being done. We are * assured, however, that complete works, ‘will be put up on the Providence mine, inside of three months, and probably in six weeks, and another on a mine about Grass Valley. The . company will soon erect.an extensive . York, and will live in that city berejurnace near. the works, which, a eee or connection with the other furnaces in the county, and at San Francisco, inside of a year, all “the machinery . demanded, i '-Allthe moulding and iron work will be pérformed on this coast. This much we ean say, but a full description of the process is not at present desired by the inventor. We can assure our readers, howéver, that in a short timé they cah view everythidg connected with the process om a dogen different mines in the vicim experiment was a suceess from cur faith in the man, now we are sgonvinced from personal observation of explanation of the method.

Hamilton owns a little town -all by himself down on Spring street, He has some very neat and convenient cottages there, which he rents to regular tenants, The largest building he occupies himself, and he has got it fitted up in complete shape. He has more hot house plants than any, family in town. We suppose bis coin was made in restaurant business. Prospeeting is going ‘om in the Stiles’ ledge on Spring street, and rock ig: s being taketi out near by, on. another ledge, and being hauled to Keith’s mill to be erushed. Some parties are also prospocting out near Cashin’s, and have got several tons ‘already upow the surface whieh is said to look well.

Rehearsalg are had by them frequently, and. we understand most of. the’ menabers are well up it their parts. ,A good house will show appreciation of their efforts to improve themselves and amuse the public. -E, O. Tompkins, who came up here from Pleasant Valley yesterday, states that there has been very heavy fogs i in that section for’ the past ten. days. “The sun was obscdred niost of the time. Trotter & Cunningham have the best stock of horses on their stage line ta be found in the State. They are all large, sound, of good style and first rate steppers. They can jerk a load of passengers through on time, no matter what the roads are. The repairs on the Suspension bridge have, as we have several times thought, been completed, but. the found some kind of work being done. We think all is finished and now the contract will be accepted. Since the new planks have been laid, the wires tarred and the ends strengthened, the eressing of a team produces scarcely a perceptible motion. Charley McElvy is having more rocks put in front of the building owned by him, and occupied by Sutton & Judge, on Commercial street. The rafters were all raised on the freight @epot yesterday. The building will soon be enclosed, and work on the passenger building will be commenced in a few days. Mayor P. T. Barnum and his wife, who are now living at Bridgeport, Connecticut, being desirous of companionship, recently proposed to two congenial neighbors, George Wells and his wife, that the two families should draw lots to determine which should pass the Winter under the other’s roof-tree. Mr, Barnum lost the ehoice, and he and Mrs. Buarnum have accordingly gone to live with their neighbors, Sm.ven Moye.—Aunother new mine has been discovered near the locality of the Consolidated Wouder, by Dan Farrel and Chas, Sairs.

Simultaneously, several thousaud people, not a whit moré honest, arrive here from the-east for the same purpose, viz: to escape the cold of a higher latitude. We do not meet these people with shot though we might do itif they could be turned to account in that way. Iu the present state of our civilzation we salute, take their money and wish them a good day. But honest robin comes down here asa guest, when immediately a small army of pot huuters go for him with shot guns, and having plucked him, sell his diminutive little body to the market men ind restaurant keepers. It.is a miserable business and ought to be stopped. What tender hearted legislator will this Winter come to the rescue of the robin, and his cousin, the lark? The kiling of both of these birds ought to be prohibited by law. They are two of the best song birds we have. Both are ingeetivorous and. neither do any harm. It is a shame that these birds are slanghtered’by wholesale’ They are of little account as game birds, but their song is everywhere greetdéd asa benison. A statute of half a ‘dozen lines would protect these birds. They are the farmers’ friends, in fact, everybody’s ffiends, and especially the friends of that particular metnber of the Legislature who will bring in a bill for their protection — Bulletin.

After ineffectual appeals to the recollection, and finally to the honor of Bardolph, the farmer applied to Curras for advice. ‘‘Have patience my Sriend, said the counsel;. “speak to the landlerd civilly—tell him you have left your money with some. othérperson.

Simultaneously, several thousaud people, not a whit moré honest, arrive here from the-east for the same purpose, viz: to escape the cold of a higher latitude. We do not meet these people with shot though we might do itif they could be turned to account in that way. Iu the present state of our civilzation we salute, take their money and wish them a good day. But honest robin comes down here asa guest, when immediately a small army of pot huuters go for him with shot guns, and having plucked him, sell his diminutive little body to the market men ind restaurant keepers. It.is a miserable business and ought to be stopped. What tender hearted legislator will this Winter come to the rescue of the robin, and his cousin, the lark? The kiling of both of these birds ought to be prohibited by law. They are two of the best song birds we have. Both are ingeetivorous and. neither do any harm. It is a shame that these birds are slanghtered’by wholesale’ They are of little account as game birds, but their song is everywhere greetdéd asa benison. A statute of half a ‘dozen lines would protect these birds. They are the farmers’ friends, in fact, everybody’s ffiends, and especially the friends of that particular metnber of the Legislature who will bring in a bill for their protection — Bulletin.

appeals to the recollection, and finally to the honor of Bardolph, the farmer applied to Curras for advice. ‘‘Have patience my Sriend, said the counsel;. “speak to the landlerd civilly—tell him you have left your money with some. othérperson.
