Once or twice I came down here. About the time of the failure of the Bank, ‘I found a tag in the drawer of White, which was taken out of,his salary, At this time no money could be had. Flat to pay. The tags were for lit‘tle amounts, It was ocdasionally the case, that tags were put into the drawer for small amounts, aad count‘ed as cash. Wewere reimbursed washer where all matter that is noxious to quicksilver is dissolved and removed, From thence it is taken to a large amalgamatinz tank, where it undergoes a thorough process of agitation and mixing with quicktilver, The quicksilver, by means of a strainer and elevator, making a continuous circuit through the materialin the tub, All the chemicals in the process are used in this part of the work, and only in contact with the quicksilver for the purpose of keeping it constantly in order. From this.tank it is drained off into another tub called a ‘‘dolly’’ and from this to un agitating machine called a centepede which is the last * ‘work done on the ore before'it finally escapes down the waste-sluices except that the settling from the two last tubs are cuught ina waste tank and if found to contuin matter worth re-working it is taken to the drying furnace: and put through the process aguin. The ore passes from one point to another by means of machinery which is automatic in its: work throughout. Those who were ‘present to witness the practical workings on Monday, we believe, generally united in decluring the process an undoubted success, It is the purpose of the company to erect machines as fast as the demand callg for them. They propose to work ores up very closely to a fire .assay and tedo it so cheaply that many mines, which will not pay as at present worked, will become valuable property. throughout worked to ‘a’ charm and the results can be gaiued from the following assay made by J,. Jd. Ott, of this city. The roasted material when it entered the amalgamator after passing through the roasting furnace and the grinders contained, according to Ott’s assay, $15 70 per ton. “he clean up showed that $14 88 cents of it had been saved, and only 82 cents had passed off in the sluices. . In other words. the ‘percentage of gold saved was 94.8. The ore under treatment is generally conceded to ba rebellious and hard to reduce.” The time used in the reduction of this lot was only three and a half hours whereas the regular time should have been six hours. Prof. Crosby asserts that the re: Bult is not better than the machine can do at all times and he stands ready to demonstrate it to any one having ores to reduce. Prof, Crosby extends a cordialinvitation to those having sulpburets or ore to be worked —*®“to bring them en and witness the test, and those’ interested in mining are alsg invited to go and see the machine and judge for themselves, Be» >? _.

While White was there, both had a full deputyship, and equal charge, while they were there, I seldom saw the money—they both received the cash. I borrowed once from White, ‘from the drawer, $8000, and once borrowed $20 00; all was paid back. I used to come down from the Flat once a month,and make fout the Auditor’s balunce—at these times. had access to the drawer. I-paid White from my warrant; the regular deputy drew his warrant; my warrant produced the money I paid White. Once or twice I did not sell scrip, and sent money from Moore’s Fiat to pay. During the time, twelve months, White was there, I considered White. and Plunkett both had equal access to the office, both had keys to the vault, and both had the combination, I was down as oftén as once in two weeks, and) was frequently down every week. I always made it a point to go through the office every time I came down. Some months, but net frequently, I was in the office as much as five or six days. I put time in-the offiee;-had equal access while there: I can’t say that I ean point to any circumstance connecting Mr. White with taking the money. I can’t tell what the deficiency was while White was there, think it about the same, My answer to the question, whether I considered White or Plunkett responsible for the deficiency, is, both had equal access to the drawer. I do. not consider myself-morally responsible for the deficienoy;I don’t like to fix the fuult; suspected no one, and can’t fix thefault, I was*depjuaty under Plunkett; can’t account for the deficieney ‘in * Plaunkett’s I had equal access to the drawer as Plunkett during that time; I always took the money that was in the drawer, except small change, and paid over withont examining the register of actions; I don’t know who generally paid Treasurer while White was there.”’ July 2lst, Pattisow re-called-—Mr. Plunkett and myself divided the salary of the office equally between us for the time he: was County Clerk, and also for the time that I was Clerk. The perquisites were also equally divided between us during all the time we were in office. I had full opportunity at all times to ascertain whether any deficiency existed’ in regard to. Clerk’s fees during the time Mr, White was Deputy; but I never made any examination, as I did not deem it necessary, Question by Mr. White—‘‘Having free access to the money drawer during a portion of, each. month, and paying the money over to the Treas. urer at times yourself, making up the Auditor's balance!.monthly, do you still throw the moral responsibility for the deficiency upon the persons doing the work in the office . during your absence?” (3) Anuswer—"I 46 not hold’ myself morally responsiblé'for'the deficiencey.’’ I have been frequently asked deficiency during the time he wasan the office, . My. answer: has) always been, and. Igo believe, that.the person who took the money for’ the first three of the four years during whiely the deficiency occurred, also took the money during the fourth yéar,** . Om ‘the first day’s examination, Mr. Plunkett téstifietras follows: T: . C.

Inever bad my attention called to. any fact. I had no feeBook. During the greater portion of the time that the Courts were in session, I was in Court, At the different times Court was ip.session more money passed through White’s Hands than through mine. I don’t meat to say that the Court was continually in session, While the Courts were in session, dating recess I was in the office both noon and evening. I think ‘Pattison paid the mdneéy into the Treasury. We paid from the drawer. On the first Cay’s ‘examination, James D. ‘ainda sworn, and testified as follows: I swear positively, I never took,a particle of money: from the eounty of Nevada. WhenI was appointed deputy by Pattison, either the’ first or second day, I asked Pattison if ho kept a fee book, he said he. did not, thelaw had been changed and it_ was ‘not required, cited me to the statutes. of 69 or ’70, or afterwards, wherein the. officers of the county of Nevada were exempted; asked if he kept a cash book, his answer, as I recollect, was, I. don’t consider it necessary; that they paid always at the end of the month all the money here was in the drawér to the County” Treasurer.‘ I commenced work in the office, Mr. Pattison remaining ,severat® days to assist me and posting me. Plunkett at this time, I think, was in court; went on performed my duties assigned, received money and paid into drawer, credited on register of actions, refunded when called upon to. liti gants, The, settlements with the County Treasurer, as I recollect, with one exception, whenI paid myself, were made mainly by Mr. Pattison and Plunkett, mostly I think by Pattison. It was he custom of the office at times between each monthly settlement, if a amount of money was wanted for change, that’ we might take it from the drawer, by making acouunt of it, and settling monthly therefor, so as to notinterfere with-payments; that ‘on several occasions I. took money . myself, charged it ona little book. I kept in the drawer, with amount and date, and calculated to pay, and did pay, fo the best of my recollection, promptly monthly, the amount so taken, and credited the ‘same on book; that no money so taken remains a charge against me. It was the custom of Pattison and Plunkett, to take Change in that way, with the same understanding as to payments, and so faras any tags were left in the office, were paid by them. I. don’t recollect of any amount on any slip in the drawer that they did not refund. Our contingent expenses, stamps, &c., were taken from the drawer. and minuted on this book, and were refunded by an order drawn by the Board. I do reeollect from time to time, that money was taken at the close of the day by Plunkett and myself, in small suma, (not frequently however) of not more than two or three dollars. The amounts taken by“ me. were charged by myself against me in this little book,and my recollection is that once or twice Plunkett told me that he kept a private accountof what he took from the drawer. The hook in which I kept my account lay continually subject to the inspection of allof us, in one of the tills of thedrawer. I now state that every sum so taken by me, was fully paid by me to the drawer, and all of it before Pattison’s term expired. I-had no means of knowing, nor had any of us, except by a lengthy look at the books, the receipts and disbursements of the office, the amount held in reserve to refund to litigants, nor the amount that should be paid to the Treasurer monthly, or at the end of ‘Pattison’s térm, or the amount’ of reserved fund he would tarn overto his sticcessors, My attention was: first directed to the fact that a deficiency mightexist by the ease with which I could make payments larger than my predecessor;"'thereapon we turned back for the first year to the three Gooks--County, Probate and Dis. trict Oourts, and marriage licenses, only, to see what they might show to exist. Pattison paid $1,150 to the Tergsnrer, and taried $300 ‘over to me on account of reserved fund, whichis ‘ereditedy when we found ae felt interested to know if that was. paid in was $100 less, with no re-. amount received by.us during the time’ ‘don’t wish to state that no memor‘on which was minuted the amount of ‘Pattison was at Moore’s Flat, and small j, examine our goods and prices. a ae J »m‘y Clerk for that year, . having] beech a deputy myself inthe office, I the only deficiency that ‘had ‘oecurred, for my own justification. Found the preceding year that amount serve fund to credit, subsequently ihe investigation of the four years was made with the‘result shown by the statement before the Board. I have no definite means of knowing, sach as would satisfy my own roind, of the manner in which the was there; should pot have been in, the drawer from month to month and paid over to Treasurer. ‘The only act of Mr. Phunkett’s that I could construe, was at the time Mr. Pluukett took.certain change from’ the drawer, that I did not see the. private:account which he said he was keeping with the county. TI atidum was. left by Pattison or Plunkett; that on two or three occasions slips were left in the drawer, money taken from the drawer by . both Pattison and Plunkett. At one time I recollect of the $80 Mr. Paiti-+ son took which was spoken of, at another time $25 by Mr. Plunkett, and I wade the memorandunis myself and laid them in the drawer, as I recollect those sums. were refunded, further than that I do. not recollect of any specific Sums minuted in that way and left in the drawer. I never saw anything to cause me to suspicion Pattison; I had no suspicions while I was there of either, but disliked the loose way of doing business. I do not regollect of Pattison’s tiking movey more than the two time: spoken of. We all had access to the drawer.“ Mr. wis frequently down; often once a week, and often once in two weeks, and always once a month; he made up the Auditor’s balance always, except the last balance two months before the end of his term, when he assisted me to make it up, or showed mehow. I. ¢onsidered during the time I was in ‘the office that Pattison was exercising general supervision. over Plunkett and myself. I deferred to him.on all occasions when disputes arose as t6 clerks’ duties, . . either personally or by letter to Moore’s Flat. The money we took in belongitg to the county for court fees was charged against the Clerk, all of it; onthe registers of ‘a¢tions, and at all times open to inspection as was the money account, During the time I was Deputy Clerk I was out of the office some’ of the: time, attending the Board of Equalization atid Board of Supervisors. In the adjustment of my accounts with Pattison on the book I kept of money taken, I produced the book and paid over the anioutt charged against me, to Pattison’s apparent satisfaction, The till was open to all belonging to the office. During all the time that I was Deputy, and also at different times that Pattison was in the office, there was scarcely aby day thut money could not have been abstracted from the drawer by either of us three, without the observation of the others, Mr, Pattison gave his key of the vault to me.

The ore under treatment is generally conceded to ba rebellious and hard to reduce.” The time used in the reduction of this lot was only three and a half hours whereas the regular time should have been six hours. Prof. Crosby asserts that the re: Bult is not better than the machine can do at all times and he stands ready to demonstrate it to any one having ores to reduce. Prof, Crosby extends a cordialinvitation to those having sulpburets or ore to be worked —*®“to bring them en and witness the test, and those’ interested in mining are alsg invited to go and see the machine and judge for themselves, Be» >? _.

While White was there, both had a full deputyship, and equal charge, while they were there, I seldom saw the money—they both received the cash. I borrowed once from White, ‘from the drawer, $8000, and once borrowed $20 00; all was paid back. I used to come down from the Flat once a month,and make fout the Auditor’s balunce—at these times. had access to the drawer. I-paid White from my warrant; the regular deputy drew his warrant; my warrant produced the money I paid White. Once or twice I did not sell scrip, and sent money from Moore’s Fiat to pay. During the time, twelve months, White was there, I considered White. and Plunkett both had equal access to the office, both had keys to the vault, and both had the combination, I was down as oftén as once in two weeks, and) was frequently down every week. I always made it a point to go through the office every time I came down. Some months, but net frequently, I was in the office as much as five or six days. I put time in-the offiee;-had equal access while there: I can’t say that I ean point to any circumstance connecting Mr. White with taking the money. I can’t tell what the deficiency was while White was there, think it about the same, My answer to the question, whether I considered White or Plunkett responsible for the deficiency, is, both had equal access to the drawer. I do. not consider myself-morally responsible for the deficienoy;I don’t like to fix the fuult; suspected no one, and can’t fix thefault, I was*depjuaty under Plunkett; can’t account for the deficieney ‘in * Plaunkett’s I had equal access to the drawer as Plunkett during that time; I always took the money that was in the drawer, except small change, and paid over withont examining the register of actions; I don’t know who generally paid Treasurer while White was there.”’ July 2lst, Pattisow re-called-—Mr. Plunkett and myself divided the salary of the office equally between us for the time he: was County Clerk, and also for the time that I was Clerk. The perquisites were also equally divided between us during all the time we were in office. I had full opportunity at all times to ascertain whether any deficiency existed’ in regard to. Clerk’s fees during the time Mr, White was Deputy; but I never made any examination, as I did not deem it necessary, Question by Mr. White—‘‘Having free access to the money drawer during a portion of, each. month, and paying the money over to the Treas. urer at times yourself, making up the Auditor's balance!.monthly, do you still throw the moral responsibility for the deficiency upon the persons doing the work in the office . during your absence?” (3) Anuswer—"I 46 not hold’ myself morally responsiblé'for'the deficiencey.’’ I have been frequently asked deficiency during the time he wasan the office, . My.. answer: has) always been, and. Igo believe, that.the person who took the money for’ the first three of the four years during whiely the deficiency occurred, also took the money during the fourth yéar,** .

Inever bad my attention called to. any fact. I had no feeBook. During the greater portion of the time that the Courts were in session, I was in Court, At the different times Court was ip.session more money passed through White’s Hands than through mine. I don’t meat to say that the Court was continually in session, While the Courts were in session, dating recess I was in the office both noon and evening. I think ‘Pattison paid the mdneéy into the Treasury. We paid from the drawer. On the first Cay’s ‘examination, James D. ‘ainda sworn, and testified as follows: I swear positively, I never took,a particle of money: from the eounty of Nevada. WhenI was appointed deputy by Pattison, either the’ first or second day, I asked Pattison if ho kept a fee book, he said he. did not, thelaw had been changed and it_ was ‘not required, cited me to the statutes. of 69 or ’70, or afterwards, wherein the. officers of the county of Nevada were exempted; asked if he kept a cash book, his answer, as I recollect, was, I. don’t consider it necessary; that they paid always at the end of the month all the money here was in the drawér to the

County” Treasurer.‘ I commenced work in the office, Mr. Pattison remaining ,severat® days to assist me and posting me. Plunkett at this time, I think, was in court; went on performed my duties assigned, received money and paid into drawer, credited on register of actions, refunded when called upon to. liti gants, The, settlements with the County Treasurer, as I recollect, with one exception, whenI paid myself, were made mainly by Mr. Pattison and Plunkett, mostly I think by Pattison. It was he custom of the office at times between each monthly settlement, if a amount of money was wanted for change, that’ we might take it from the drawer, by making acouunt of it, and settling monthly therefor, so as to notinterfere with-payments; that ‘on several occasions I. took money . myself, charged it ona little book. I kept in the drawer, with amount and date, and calculated to pay, and did pay, fo the best of my recollection, promptly monthly, the amount so taken, and credited the ‘same on book; that no money so taken remains a charge against me. It was the custom of Pattison and Plunkett, to take Change in that way, with the same understanding as to payments, and so faras any tags were left in the office, were paid by them. I. don’t recollect of any amount on any slip in the drawer that they did not refund. Our contingent expenses, stamps, &c., were taken from the drawer. and minuted on this book, and were refunded by an order drawn by the Board. I do reeollect from time to time, that money was taken at the close of the day by Plunkett and myself, in small suma, (not frequently however) of not more than two or three dollars. The amounts taken by“ me. were charged by myself against me in this little book,and my recollection is that once or twice Plunkett told me that he kept a private accountof what he took from the drawer. The hook in which I kept my account lay continually subject to the inspection of allof us, in one of the tills of thedrawer. I now state that every sum so taken by me, was fully paid by me to the drawer, and all of it before Pattison’s term expired. I-had no means of knowing, nor had any of us, except by a lengthy look at the books, the receipts and disbursements of the office, the amount held in reserve to refund to litigants, nor the amount that should be paid to the Treasurer monthly, or at the end of ‘Pattison’s térm, or the amount’ of reserved fund he would tarn overto his sticcessors, My attention was: first directed to the fact that a deficiency mightexist by the ease with which I could make payments larger than my predecessor;"'thereapon we turned back for the first year to the three Gooks--County, Probate and Dis. trict Oourts, and marriage licenses, only, to see what they might show to exist. Pattison paid $1,150 to the Tergsnrer, and taried $300 ‘over to me on account of reserved fund, whichis ‘ereditedy when we found ae felt interested to know if that was. paid in was $100 less, with no re-. amount received by.us during the time’ ‘don’t wish to state that no memor‘on which was minuted the amount of ‘Pattison was at Moore’s Flat, and small j, examine our goods and prices. a ae J »m‘y Clerk for that year, . having] beech a deputy myself inthe office, I the only deficiency that ‘had ‘oecurred, for my own justification. Found the preceding year that amount serve fund to credit, subsequently ihe investigation of the four years was made with the‘result shown by the statement before the Board. I have no definite means of knowing, sach as would satisfy my own roind, of the manner in which the was there; should pot have been in, the drawer from month to month and paid over to Treasurer. ‘The only act of Mr. Phunkett’s that I could construe, was at the time Mr. Pluukett took.certain change from’ the drawer, that I did not see the. private:account which he said he was keeping with the county. TI atidum was. left by Pattison or Plunkett; that on two or three occasions slips were left in the drawer, money taken from the drawer by . both Pattison and Plunkett. At one time I recollect of the $80 Mr. Paiti-+ son took which was spoken of, at another time $25 by Mr. Plunkett, and I wade the memorandunis myself and laid them in the drawer, as I recollect those sums. were refunded, further than that I do. not recollect of any specific Sums minuted in that way and left in the drawer. I never saw anything to cause me to suspicion Pattison; I had no suspicions while I was there of either, but disliked the loose way of doing business. I do not regollect of Pattison’s tiking movey more than the two time: spoken of. We all had access to the drawer.“ Mr. wis frequently down; often once a week, and often once in two weeks, and always once a month; he made up the Auditor’s balance always, except the last balance two months before the end of his term, when he assisted me to make it up, or showed mehow. I. ¢onsidered during the time I was in ‘the office that Pattison was exercising general supervision. over Plunkett and myself. I deferred to him.on all occasions when disputes arose as t6 clerks’ duties, . . either personally or by letter to Moore’s Flat. The money we took in belongitg to the county for court fees was charged against the Clerk, all of it; onthe registers of ‘a¢tions, and at all times open to inspection as was the money account, During the time I was Deputy Clerk I was out of the office some’ of the: time, attending the Board of Equalization atid Board of Supervisors. In the adjustment of my accounts with Pattison on the book I kept of money taken, I produced the book and paid over the anioutt charged against me, to Pattison’s apparent satisfaction, The till was open to all belonging to the office. During all the time that I was Deputy, and also at different times that Pattison was in the office, there was scarcely aby day thut money could not have been abstracted from the drawer by either of us three, without the observation of the others, Mr, Pattison gave his key of the vault to me.
