The Mining and Scientific Press, 3l ‘Tne Caspir Fisa is one of the most curious meinbers of the finny tribe. It ts cauglit on the coast of British Columbia, where it is extreinely common, and proves very useful to the natives. Some idea of ite character and value may be gleaned from the fact that they use it as ao lamp, the light given being very considerable. The fish, when dried, bas a piece of rash pith, or strip from the inner bork of the cypress tree, drawn through it to serve ag a wick, a loug needle, made of hard wood, being used for the purpose; it is then lighted, and buros stealily until consuied.

The constant and increasing demand for em !s snfficlent evidenee ot their merits. They are constructed so asta apply steam dlreatly Into the pulp, or witb steam bhottoins, asdesired. ~ This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan helng Allied, the motlon of tho muller forceathe pulp to tho center, where itis drawn down throngh the We erture and between the grinding surizees, Thence it is thrown to the periphery Into the quicksilver. The carved plates ayain draw itto the center, where it passes down, and tothe elreumference as before, Thus it ia eonstantly Site in a reeniar flow between the griuding surlaces aud nto the quicksilver, untll the ore 1s reduced (o aa hnpalpable powder, and the metal amnaigamated.
