Ssectixn Corprr Ores.—Messrs. Peter
Spence und H. Davis of England, have made a
disevvory in copper smelting which consists in
using, asa tlux, the spent shale of the nlum wanafrcturo, bemy the residuin of the shale of the
col imeasures ufter it has been reted upon by
sulphuric acit forthe prudeetion of ulum. Vhe
quantity of such spent shale necessary for each
charge of ore will vary with the character of
the ore, and, in practice, is easily uscertained
by the workman , who will discover that, when
a safficient quantity has been added, the flux
or slag will pert casily froin the regulus or
metal. and enable him to skim off aud raw
out the slag, withoat the regulus or metul
elingiag to it. In praeticoit is fonud that, by
using spent shale for u flux, a slag more thun
ordinarily free frou copper, or, as it is termed,
a clean stay, ia obtained, which is a matter of
great importanco in copper smelting,2s when
the slag is not clean thero Is a great loss of
copper in consequence. ‘Ihe patentees claim
the use of speut shaloas a flux in copper
smelting.
AN Iron Misixc Districr.—The Downie,
ville Messenger says the eastern portion of tho
eonuty has been laid off as an iron mining district, under the name of the “San Saba Iron
Miuing District," and ut nvneeting of the citizens, recently held iu Sierra City, laws were
adopted for the futufe government of the
mines. One company hus already organized
under the same,end are in negotiation with
capitalists for the prosecution of the work.

COMBINED
FAUCET AND MEASURE.
This ls one of the most useful Inventlons of the day, and
1s destined to go Into unlversal use on this coast, as It has
In the Eastern States.
The invention consists of a combined Faucet and MeasUre, so arranged thatthe liquid eontents of any cask or
other vessel can be drawn and accurately moasured without the use ot measures or funiels other thin such as are
embracod In the Faueot Itsclf. While lt obviates altogether
the use of measures, it operates much more perfectly than
tho old method of drawing and measuring such liquids as
have a tendency to foam up wben drawn, ag coal oll, llnseed oll, ete.
The Proprietor has made arrangements with GAL.
