Vance has gone home. A State Beeada Baily Transcript . . SURRENDERS TO ‘GRant.—While manyof out Union Generals have won great glory THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 18. TUNNELING BY Fine.—We recently gave ‘the favorable results of experiments in work‘ing rock by fire in the ‘bed-rock_ tunnel in the claims of Mr. Clark, at Smartevitie— Since that time we have heard of miners that in such, cases it was more expensive rock is hard and worked with great difficulty, as shown by Mr. Clark’s experiment, fire ig far ‘superior toany-other-agent;-saving one-third in time and more than half in expense. Tho method of breaking. rock by fire was used in ancient times in the Hartz mineé in Germany, but in consequence of «he high price of wood it was abandoned for gunpowder, but recently the old-method-has. been revived, miners using coke insteadof wood. The following is the process: [Ina portable furnace about one-and a half busbols of coke are placed. The fire is kindled at 5 o'clock, Pp. M., and kept up witil 5 o'clock the next morning, when the furnaee is-removed and the rock left to cool after being sprinkled with—-water. About “noon the face of the rock spontaneously detaches itself, and then a further portion is easily broken. The effect of the fire extends about ‘eight inches and, according to the Scientific American, with one and a half bushels of hundred weight of ore is’ obtained at’ balf the cost of the gunpowder process. It is said that by this method the hardest rock is worked to better advantage than <éofter kinds. In the Smartaville claims bard slate rock was worked and no furnace was used. The wood, about a cord, waa/placed against the fuce of the rock and allowed to burn out. Neither was water-used/” We have no doubt that with properly constructed furnaces, so arranged as to be easily moved upon a car, ‘the effect produced in Clark’s claims can be doubled. io politicians have been “flaxed” in San Prien¢iseo by the people. The People’s ticket Mas been successful by a majority of from one thousand to fifteen hundred. The eandidates on the People's ticket ure true and leyal, having supported the administration of Lincoln, andvoted for him at his: first and second elections. The officers elected are as good men as ean be found in the Bay City. We are glad that they have succeed. ed in “upsetting” the schemes of unprincipled politicians in San Francisco. ~ .
