When the fire burns softened is taken out, generally about eigh‘eon inches or two feet. By this rude proeéhs more than two-thirds the expense of blasting is saved. We: believe this is the first-and only mine in the State where fire cede the old method of removing rock. The Scientific Press speaks highly of the use of fire in tunneling and-after publishing our recent account of Mr. Clark's experiment, says “a edreful series-of experiments kas been made during the past year, under the direction of Herr Fiekeatecher, at the St. Chris— _ toph mine, near Breitesbrunen, It had al“become more friable by contraction in thus . tightinches.

The coke is used as follows :— A small; moveable frame, very much like a cominen coul grate, isso constructed as to be placed on legs or, other supports against the face of the wall to be broken , away.— The front of the grate should be closed so as to drive the heat as much as possible against the wall, and openings left at the bottom for draught. With a closed fire-place, thus tonstructed, about ones half bushels of coke willburn through an entire night., In the morning the fire-place is removed, and the hot wall sprinkled with water to cause it to suddenly cooling. The effect -of the fire generally extends to the depth of about be derivable from this process. As coke is “not attainable as yet in the mines on the Pacific ooast, perhaps charcoal might be found preferrable to (ood as ‘it can be more readily. handled in rrow walls of a drift than ‘wood, and the be much more easily conTI : te Some of our. cotemporaries are é€xteedingly worried about the political course of the TkaNnscripT, and have a habit of gent such articles in this paper as do not meet their approbation. We remark once for all that vue paper is not the persunal orgen of Mr. Sargent, or any other man exnot and never had any pecuniary interest in the poper, and we are not indebted to him for any support other than that furnished by ordiaury patrons Politically we have always been hia friend, and expect to be so v0 long ashe pursues the straighfurward course which has distinguished him~in the pest. We admire his abilities dnd respect his private character. Wethink the man who gave a Pacific Railroad and United States Supreme Jadge tothe State is worthy the trust-and gratitude of the State— ‘We also think the great niining interest of tate, needs a man of his intelligence end shall support him for that reason, and While all this is true we edit our own paper and protest against the unfairness of making bim responsible for every squib or article that offends prejudice, or may be founded in error of fact.
