The Daily Sranseript NMVADA Crry,.CAL. .Tuesday, Sept. 28, 1875. North Bloomfield Mine. The North Bloomfield hydraulic mine is now in full tide of successful operation, It is oue of the most extensive gravel mines on the Coast. There are 1,700 acres of ground in the claim; and from thorough prospecting.it is known that rich gravel ‘extends all overit. The ground is situated in @ deep valley, and is the channel of an ancient river,__In—order to get fall to carry off waste dirt, Gt became necessary to run a tunnel through hard. rock 9,500 feet in length. The total cost of the work was.over $500,000, Eight shafts were sunk down to the line of the tunnel, from which work was proseated. each way. Some of the shafts weve 225 feet deep. Ail the men that could be profitably worked were put on and the tunnel was completed in am incredibly short time. The end of the tunnel when it reached under the channel was 550 feet from the surface, or 150 feet beneath the bed rock, so that it will. give fall ‘enongh to work out all. the ground in the mine. The tunnel is used as a flame for carrying the washed gravel dowa to Humbug Canyon, from whence it is carried into the Yuba River. The gravel and dirt saa res { 4 washed all falls through the last . it must of been five or six hours -af-. shaft at the erd of, the tannel. The work of washing at this shaft was ‘commented last January. About nine acres of surface has been washed through it, bat it still requires ‘six months morework before the -hole will be washed down to the bed: “rock. The blue gravel of the ancient channel is 135 feet deep, and has been found to be from 300 to 500 feet wide on the bottom; while on top it isspread outa mile wide. The dirt on top of the gravel is about 265 feet deep. There is considerable pipe clay among it which requires ‘blasting before it_can be ran through the flume, * at present used in washing, which is tun through three different nozzles. One.of them is a seven inch and runs 1,400 inches with 350 foot pressure. It has such power that it will roll a rock weighing from 300 to 500 pounds almost as easy asif it weigh-: ‘ed but ten. Rocks as large as a man's head when hit by it are thrown 75 feet into theair. The water is obtained from Bowman's dam, aud is conducted by a ditch 45 miles in length. Thedam and ditch are owned by the company. The company expended a million of dollars for the mine before they commenced washing through the present tunnel. ‘They also own half the Milton Company’s mine and ditch which cost ‘them another million dollars. The investment was a large one, but any one who willlook over the property can not doubt they will get ten dollars in return for every one put out in afew years. Perkins is the present Superintendent of the property, _ to whom we aro iudebted. for favors shown us while at the mine. It is impossible to give-a correct report of this vast property in anewspaper article, und particularly after such a burried visit as we “imade. We advise ever one, however, who wishes to see hydraulic mining on an extensive scale, to visit the North Bloomfield mine. ~ A © ge A Derr Sxearna Prorecrion In a Daovs or Carris.—The Haiusville ' (Georgia) Gazette relates a very strange story. Mr. M. Sharpe, a prominent citizen of Momtgomery’ _ County, Ohio, while driving up some cattle, saw a large fine deer in, “the drove.” He cracked his whip but the deer took no notice of it, but ’ eontinued with the cattle. He drove them for more than a mile, until he came near a neighbor's house. He rode up tu the gate and procured a gan, and went buck and took delib‘esate aim at Mr, Buck, but the cap popped. The noise startled an old ox, which had, been shct at for not regarding the fence law, and was} ‘very suspicious of gunpowder. ~ He ‘stampeded the herd, the deer along with them. Mr. Sharpe followed ‘wud succeeded in getting them all together. He rode up as near as he ‘wiabed, fired and tumbled the deer in its tracks. It was, be said, one of the largest deer he had ever seen, “He supposed that the deer had fled tu the cattle for protection, as sheep sometimes do wheo pursued by dogs. .

On Satarday.night last, a young was shot by Annie Reed, in her house on China street, in this city, from the effects of which he died . Monday morning about 2 o'clock. Sometime after midnight, officer Scott, in passing the house mentioned, discovered Devine'lying on the ground néxt the sidewalk; ‘which at that point is several inches above the road. .When found, the man could hardly walk or talk from the effects, as it was supposed, of liquor. He was carried to the National Hotel, where*he was recognized as one of the men belonging to the employ of the V Flume Company. He was putto bed between two and three o'clock, where he slept until six. When another employee of the company called at his room to see if he would not return to camp, he found him groaning with.pain. . He was asked what ailed him, and he replied he ad's severe pain in his stomach. His companion procured a gluss of Jamaica gibger and gave him, which seemed to afford relief, but the pain returned and another dose was. given. After this he told his friend he thought he should not live lony. When asked why he thought so, he replied he had been shot in the stoniach by a prostitute, Upon examination it was found he really had been shot. A physician was summoned, who, upon examination, declared the wound was a fatal one, ter the man was shot before it was discovered. When asked Sunday morning. why he did not tell of it sooner, he said he was too stupid before that time to doso. He said he was at the house of the party charged with the offense, and there was another woman and man _ there besides the woman Annie Reed, He had been drinking during the evening, and, at the time of the shooting they were all doubtless intoxicated. .While-scuffling with the woman he says she shot him, and then he was pushed vut of doors into the street where he was found by Watchman Scott. The deceased has only been in the employ of the V Flume Company about six weeks, having recently came from Chicago, where he has relatives residing. He was an‘industrious young man, and was well liked by all who knew him, Liquor was the cause of the trouble. He was unaccustomed to drinking, und probably hardlyknew what he was about. When he was sensible ot what had occurred, and where he had been, he suffered extreme mental anguish for fear his mother would learn the cause of his death. Officers arrested the woman Reed as soon as it was discovered the man was shot, and took her to his room. ‘As ‘soon as he saw her he said she wasthe person who shot him. She was lodged in jail to await am examination, ot a Tracuing mm Pupire ScHoors,— Prot. Harrington, in eriticising the manner of teaching in the public schools, in the meeting of the National Teachérs’ Association, made some remarks that apply ‘with’ considerable force to the practice in our schools, and which should be carefully considered by the school authorities. He says: The reading books of our present are a mass of foolish selections, aud the eatire Beries used are too small and limited lected, perhaps because it has no bearings on the percentage of scholarship. Definitions are the defining of an unknown word by another unknown werd, Spelling is made one of the representative studies, and is exalted above other more necessary branches. Orthography is only to grace composition. Grammar is elevated far above its merits as now taught. It should be taught in its place, but not until the language is acquired. Immense time is wasted pupil knows not what he is talking about. Analysis has been used for immature minds, instead of being reserved for an advanced stage. Studfies are began at the wrong end. They are couched in terms far beyond the learner, und are as sensible tor the young mind as would be tartle soup and roast beef te an infant. The methods of teaching are de-. praved, When wordsand ideas are connected, then the various branchesof study may be taught intelligently, and the pupil will understand what he is studying wbout.—Golden —~ The Chemicals Used. In the reduction of rebellions: ores by the Fryer process, chemicals are . used. What those chemicals are, is unknown except by the proprietors. Indeed ‘the process is entirely dependent upon them for subcess, If others knew what they use, others could apply them in some other manner, perhaps, as well as the discoverer. Of eourse everybody has more or less curiosity to know what the secret of the process which is to revolutionize mining,is but everyone is not inquisitive enough to ask the discoverer for a direct .explanation, although he has many direct questioas to answer visitors at the works. The other -day a very considerate hombre ealled on Mr. Fryer at the works, and, as is the ease with all callers, was courteously revceived. After looking around at the huge cylinders, the sixteen reducing sections, the forty horse power~éngine, the steam forcing pump, which is to be used for fire purposes, and other machinery which is nearly all’ in pllaec, he said. ‘‘Mr. Fryer, I don’t want to be inquisitive, nor try to pry into your secrets, but. I would jike to have you tell me if,you please, what chemicals you use in reducing your ores,”’ . Certainly said the proprietor, aud he sent an employee into the office for the fluid. The man returned with a bottle half full of liquid and # glass tumbler. The . bottle ceatained a cheap kindof raw whisky which iskept by the work_ Awmiring is one of the most im‘portant branches of industry on this coast, and there isa very large percentage of ore taken from the mines so rebellions that they ean not be worked with profit by any of the known processes, it would be a matter of surprise if there were not thousands of experiments made with a view to overeome the difficulties and sdéfve the great problem. Heretofore, nearly all the experimenters have pursued the same-course, ard endeavored. te overcome the difficulty by varying the form of the fu:nace—having all started out with the idea that the first—essential_ was Shaw conceived the idea that an easier and cheaper plan would be to employ chemneals. He; like all others, knew that sulphurets, chlorides and arsenirates could be dissolved by the assayer, but the cost of the materials was so {reat as to preclude their being used.'in what is called “working processes.’’ He therefore set himself to discover some substance that would accomplish the object, and at the same time be so cheap as to be within the reach of those who have low grade ores to work. After a search continued through:several years he found tke menced a series of experiments on rebellious ores from different portions of California and Nevada. The success attending. these experiments bave been fully as great as the most braised or sore, The inquisitive gentleman soon discovered what the contents were, and turned out about halfa tumbler full, and gulped it down without breathing, The fluid scalded its way down to its destination, and almost strangeled the man He stood a moment gasping for breato, with tears in his eyes, and then ‘started for a task of water where he quenched the burning. As soon ashe was able to epeak, he said. ‘I think you will meet with success Mr. Fryer. ‘That chemical will reduce anything,.’’ ‘‘Good day.”’ And he left without further questioning. : ; alin A Cumaman~ Disanms a HicuwayMan,--On Friday night, about 9 o’clock, a highwayman stopped a Chinaman near the corner of Auburn and Race streets, and demanded his valuables. It is not known whether the Celestial was in ‘“‘bonanza,’’ but at any rate he resisted the call, dis‘armed the would be robber and put him to flight. Some parties in the neighborhood heard the scuffle, and an exclamation from the Chinaman, “You hittee me!’’ and shortly after he came rushing bareheadéd from the scene of the conflict. Several white men gathered, and procuring a light proceeded to make an investigation. At the point where the struggle took place they found two hats, one belonging to the Chinaman and also the -tocbez’s, which he haa left behing in his flight. The Chinaman was in possession of the robber’s pistol, which he had captured from him, while at the same time he exhibited a wound in his haad, which appeared to have been received by being canght by the hammer of the pistol in the struggle for the possession of the weapon. It is believed that the owner of the hat and pistol is known, and the officers are onthe track, This is the first instance in years, in this“ section, where the party sought to be robbed, has come out ahead, and it is credit‘able to the pluck of the Chinaman that he made such successful resistence. This instance serves in calling to memory a funny resistance on the partof. Chinese miners in this vieinity a wumber of years ago. A footpad entered their camp, and perhaps counting upon their non-resistant qualities, was proceeding ‘to relieve them of their coin, when they turned upon, disarmed and overpowered him, They then. tied his hands and heels together, and in parsing and analyzing, when the} ’"28'26 him ona pole, after the manner they have of packing pork® queer looking procession, buat when they explained the cause and delivered their prisoner, the whole affair appeared irresistably ladicrous.

Some samples of ore from Sierra county stance the result has been wonderful, the ore yielding by this process more than a fire assay would show it to contain, Mr. Shaw is now working some ores from Arizona, and will be able to report the result in a few days. The great drawback to mining enterpries in Arizona, is the difficulty of working the ores in a profitable manner, for all the Arizona ores are rebellious toa certain degree, and many of them to such an extent that the mines have been abandoned. The discoverer of the new process states thet the cost of the chemicals necessary to work a ton of sulphurets does not exceed 36.56, while the combinations for arseniruets cost but little more. If farther experiments should confirm those already made, the day for a revolution in mining operations on this coast is near at hand.— Bulletin. cree eee Improved Order of Red Men.

Harrington, in eriticising the manner of teaching in the public schools, in the meeting of the National Teachérs’ Association, made some remarks that apply ‘with’ considerable force to the practice in our schools, and which should be carefully considered by the school authorities. He says: The reading books of our present are a mass of foolish selections, aud the eatire Beries used are too small and limited lected, perhaps because it has no bearings on the percentage of scholarship. Definitions are the defining of an unknown word by another unknown werd, Spelling is made one of the representative studies, and is exalted above other more necessary branches. Orthography is only to grace composition. Grammar is elevated far above its merits as now taught. It should be taught in its place, but not until the language is acquired. Immense time is wasted pupil knows not what he is talking about. Analysis has been used for immature minds, instead of being reserved for an advanced stage. Studfies are began at the wrong end. They are couched in terms far beyond the learner, und are as sensible tor the young mind as would be tartle soup and roast beef te an infant. The methods of teaching are de-. praved, When wordsand ideas are connected, then the various branchesof study may be taught intelligently, and the pupil will understand what he is studying wbout.—Golden —~ The Chemicals Used. In the reduction of rebellions: ores by the Fryer process, chemicals are . used. What those chemicals are, is unknown except by the proprietors. Indeed ‘the process is entirely dependent upon them for subcess, If others knew what they use, others could apply them in some other manner, perhaps, as well as the discoverer. Of eourse everybody has more or less curiosity to know what the secret of the process which is to revolutionize mining,is but everyone is not inquisitive enough to ask the discoverer for a direct .explanation, although he has many direct questioas to answer visitors at the works. The other -day a very considerate hombre ealled on Mr. Fryer at the works, and, as is the ease with all callers, was courteously revceived. After looking around at the huge cylinders, the sixteen reducing sections, the forty horse power~éngine, the steam forcing pump, which is to be used for fire purposes, and other machinery which is nearly all’ in pllaec, he said. ‘‘Mr. Fryer, I don’t want to be inquisitive, nor try to pry into your secrets, but. I would jike to have you tell me if,you please, what chemicals you use in reducing your ores,”’ . Certainly said the proprietor, aud he sent an employee into the office for the fluid. The man returned with a bottle half full of liquid and # glass tumbler. The . bottle ceatained a cheap kindof raw whisky which iskept by the work_ Awmiring is one of the most im‘portant branches of industry on this coast, and there isa very large percentage of ore taken from the mines so rebellions that they ean not be worked with profit by any of the known processes, it would be a matter of surprise if there were not thousands of experiments made with a view to overeome the difficulties and sdéfve the great problem. Heretofore, nearly all the experimenters have pursued the same-course, ard endeavored. te overcome the difficulty by varying the form of the fu:nace—having all started out with the idea that the first—essential_ was Shaw conceived the idea that an easier and cheaper plan would be to employ chemneals. He; like all others, knew that sulphurets, chlorides and arsenirates could be dissolved by the assayer, but the cost of the materials was so {reat as to preclude their being used.'in what is called “working processes.’’ He therefore set himself to discover some substance that would accomplish the object, and at the same time be so cheap as to be within the reach of those who have low grade ores to work. After a search continued through:several years he found tke menced a series of experiments on rebellious ores from different portions of California and Nevada. The success attending. these experiments bave been fully as great as the most braised or sore, The inquisitive gentleman soon discovered what the contents were, and turned out about halfa tumbler full, and gulped it down without breathing, The fluid scalded its way down to its destination, and almost strangeled the man He stood a moment gasping for breato, with tears in his eyes, and then ‘started for a task of water where he quenched the burning. As soon ashe was able to epeak, he said. ‘I think you will meet with success Mr. Fryer. ‘That chemical will reduce anything,.’’ ‘‘Good day.”’ And he left without further questioning. : ; alin A Cumaman~ Disanms a HicuwayMan,--On Friday night, about 9 o’clock, a highwayman stopped a Chinaman near the corner of Auburn and Race streets, and demanded his valuables. It is not known whether the Celestial was in ‘“‘bonanza,’’ but at any rate he resisted the call, dis‘armed the would be robber and put him to flight. Some parties in the neighborhood heard the scuffle, and an exclamation from the Chinaman, “You hittee me!’’ and shortly after he came rushing bareheadéd from the scene of the conflict. Several white men gathered, and procuring a light proceeded to make an investigation. At the point where the struggle took place they found two hats, one belonging to the Chinaman and also the -tocbez’s, which he haa left behing in his flight. The Chinaman was in possession of the robber’s pistol, which he had captured from him, while at the same time he exhibited a wound in his haad, which appeared to have been received by being canght by the hammer of the pistol in the struggle for the possession of the weapon. It is believed that the owner of the hat and pistol is known, and the officers are onthe track, This is the first instance in years, in this“ section, where the party sought to be robbed, has come out ahead, and it is credit‘able to the pluck of the Chinaman that he made such successful resistence. This instance serves in calling to memory a funny resistance on the partof. Chinese miners in this vieinity a wumber of years ago. A footpad entered their camp, and perhaps counting upon their non-resistant qualities, was proceeding ‘to relieve them of their coin, when they turned upon, disarmed and overpowered him, They then. tied his hands and heels together, and in parsing and analyzing, when the} ’"28'26 him ona pole, after the manner they have of packing pork® queer looking procession, buat when they explained the cause and delivered their prisoner, the whole affair appeared irresistably ladicrous.

His . fins were about four feet long, and} his tail about the same length and not much larger around than a person’s finger. His mouth opened to the width of two feet and was eighteen inches .in length, and projecting from each side of it. was a feeler about one foot wide’ and two feet long, which rolled up and unrolled at will, So faras can be ascertained there has been only one of these singular fish caught in this region befors this one.

County, California, Notice—There are delinquent, upon the following described evied on the Fourteen sanguine hopes of the experimenter ton by the usual milling process, although the assays showed that it contained in the neighborhood of $50 per ton, Mr. Shaw has worked three batches of “this ore by his new process, each batch containing 500 pounds, andthe results have been from $48 to $56 per ton. Some samples of ore from Sierra county stance the result has been wonderful, the ore yielding by this process more than a fire assay would show it to contain, Mr. Shaw is now working some ores from Arizona, and will be able to report the result in a few days. The great drawback to mining enterpries in Arizona, is the difficulty of working the ores in a profitable manner, for all the Arizona ores are rebellious toa certain degree, and many of them to such an extent that the mines have been abandoned. The discoverer of the new process states thet the cost of the chemicals necessary to work a ton of sulphurets does not exceed 36.56, while the combinations for arseniruets cost but little more. If farther experiments should confirm those already made, the day for a revolution in mining operations on this coast is near at hand.— Bulletin. cree eee Improved Order of Red Men.
