The Mining unt Srientific Press.
Puotoerarmice Curmicats.—The attention
of photographic artista is called to the AE!
display of granufated and chrystalized nitrate ;
of silver, which has receutly heen placed by .
Dr. Lanzzweert, in a show case, in the Minne
anp Sctentiric Press Mineral Department.
It isa matter of the greatest importauce to
the photographer, that he should be supplied
with a pure article of nitrate of silver, and to
this end Dr. L. hes made this preparation a
special study. He prepares and exhibits it
both chrystalized aud granular; in the latter
form to avoid the necessity of Irandling the
chrystals, to break then up, where smalt
quantities only are wanted. These samples
are a home product, made of California silver
and fully equal, if aot superior to the best that
can be imported. The amount of this “article
required by the photographers vn the Pacific,
Coast caunot he less than 400 pounds a invoth .
—a very importapt item when its value is
taken into cousideration.
“Yn the same case with the above, we find
samplés of copper ores, copper hulliop, and
sulphate of copper, from Peavine Valley, Nevada, with diplomas awarded to Dr. Lanszveert
by the mauagers of the Washoe Fair of 1863.
The sulphite of copper was maonfactured direct from the poor ores of that metal. without
the use of “ free sulphurtc acid,” and by a process of his own, which the Doctor has freely
given to the world, and fully described in the
Mixixe axp Screntiric Press of a recent
date. .

ABORIGINAL AND LABRADONIAN AUTOMATON
Toys.—In one of the slow cases of our collection of minerals and curiosities, are several
automaton toys of a very ludicrous character.
Three of the figures are men, and three women,
to represent memhers of the Digger Indian
trihe, of Digger manufacture. Three others—
a man, wife and baby, clad in skins—are from
Jahrador; and, like Cassio’s wine, “ ‘fore
God, are hetter than ’tothers.” ‘The whole
are funny enougli, and will excite a smile on
the countenance of whoever sees them.
i
_Hazarp’s Powper.—Every sportsman knows
something about Hazard’s duck and rifle
powder. It is the most popnlar brand in the
United States. Edward H. Parker is a large
dealer in that article, including blasting powder
and fuse. He also deals in shots of all sizes—
speecially Tatham’s patent finish drop shop.
Place of business, 224 California street. We
recommend our friends, with a great deal of
confidence. to Mr. Parker’s estatlishment,
whenever they wish a reliable article at a fair
price.
Tue population of California in 1831 was a
little over twenty-three thousand ; iu the early
part of 1849, twenty-six thousand; in 1850,
one hundred and seventeen thousand ; in
1852, two hundred aud sixty-four thoneand ;
in 1857, five hundred and thirty-eight thousand, and at this time is over six hundred
thousand. i
