The above claim is situated ene

mine, and on the south of the ridge
extending fromthe Banner mifie to
Town Talk. It is ownea: ‘by Messrs.
Captain Moore and John Vail. An’

the south side of the-property several vears ago, and a fine ledge struck.
Water prevents it from being worked

the owners hoping to get at the ledge
near the surface in that locali ity. After two or three hours work, and
just atthe grass roots, two fine
chutes ‘of pay ore were discovered.

Next Tuesday the Ww orkingmen of
"Nevada corfnty will” hold primary
elections in every precinct to elect
delegates to the C ounty Convention
which meets in this city on the Spt

delegates to the State and Congressioval Conventions, . The basis of
representation in the County Convention is-one delegate foreach elec.tion precinct, one for every fifty voters in each precinct, and one for every fraction offifty over twenty-five
where the number is less than fifty.
The qualified voters of the various
precincts will be allowed to vote at
the ‘primar y election * on pledgi ag

“A People’s Party,
That’ an old-fashioned. People’s
Party is needed’ in many counties of
d‘alifornia, and in Nevada particularly, is pretty generally conceded. .
We heartily endorse the following
utterance contained in the Grass
Valley Unjon of yesterday: ‘The
Argonaut favors for San Francisco
what the Union has for Nevada
county, the formation of a ticket
fur Legislative and<county officers
irrespective of party, in order to seeure the best talent and integrity . . ,
th: at is to be found, that the public

give up his political principles to accomplish this, and next. year he can

It is a matter of: importance to
many residents of Nevada county
that settlers: upon public lads under the Homestead law, who upon
making entry were restricted to 80
‘acres by reason of :o Jand being
§2.50 per acre, are now ‘entitled under the new law to make additional
entries of 80 acres of adjoining land,
if there be such vacant,’ If-not, they
may surrender the original and make
a new entry of 160 acres, On this
class of entries no commission or
entry fees are required. "Those making entirely new entries of. {60 acres
are required to pay fees and commissions double the amount: Neretdfore required on entries of 80 acres,=>-.—

All, this freight has heretofore gone
around the other’ way. The railroad company now keeps ten sixhorse. tea:ns on the roads leading 0)

A Warning to W orkingmen.
The Truckee ‘Republican was evidently in-dead-earnest when _it—espoused the Workingmen’s cause _recently. Hear it: “The Chronicle
may believe it-has sufficient power to .
organize a party which will carry the
Summer’s campaign. This is’ consummate cheek or deliberate treachery. We incline to the latter opinion. The De Youngs believe they
‘are SO pow ‘erful that uniting with
Terr y Howard and others of that
ilk,« a full fledged party can be produced which shall sweep the political field. Rather-is it probable that
they have secretly plotted the overthrow of the Workingmen’s party.
With prestige justly earned ky their
bold fight for the Constitution, they
proposed to create a split in the
ranks of the Workingmen, w hich shall
result in giving balance of power into the hands of the Repwblicans or
Democrats. . Worki ingmen should
‘think twice before they give either
countenance or support to the new
plug-hat brigade, better known’ as
the socicty of ‘Honorable Bilks’,”

Reducing Rebellious Ores. ‘
The Gazette reporter has been
viewing the workings of the new
process, with which W. H. Tredway
is experimenting on rebellious ores,
at Reno. The process isthe invention of John A. Robertson, of Oakland, and is so simple and uncomplicated that one wonders it was never thought of before. Mr. Tredway
has experimented with ores from a
number of mines, -«all of them -mere
formly successful in his. treatment.
It is claimed by the inventor that
more of the precious metals can ~be
saved by the actual working: with .
this process thar it is: poastble to get }with-2 fire assay: Should,this be so
—and the result of Mr. Tredway’s
experiments seem to bear out the assértion — scoresof mines on this
Coast, now lying idle, will soon be
streams of bullion,—
The cost of working ores by the Rohertson process is very small, and all
kinds of ore yield to the same treatment. If the process proves as great
@ success on a large scale as it undqubtedly. has on ema, all the ores
or less rebellious, and has been uni.

lious, and even if of very Jow grade,
can be worked to a profit. Mr. Tredway’s method is to break the ore up
into small _pigces, after which he
seapts.it in an ordinary portable assay furnace of iron. When it-is sufficiently roasted, it is thrown, hot, . s
into'a chemical ‘bath, made by dissolving salt, bluestone: and syenite
of potassium in water. The ore is
then, washed off with cokl, water,
placed in a miniature pan, mill, and
ground to a fine pulp, quicksilverbeing put in to amalgamate the precious metals,
is soft and brittle and grinds up easily. The pulp is then panned in an
retorted ina simple retort made especially for prospectors’ use. The
erection of a furnace and “treating
the ores with the chemical bath
would be ail the changes necessary
in an ordinary stamp mill, for working ores by this process. Reduction
works on the Robertson plan are in
successful opergéion in Sacramento,
with a capacity for about one ton
per hour. df the tests made aré&
satisfactory, § similar reduction works
will be erected i in Reno.
