Silver Bow correspondent of saine paper. says: The plaeer claims, in the vieinity, are yielding largely ; and I hear of one fron whieh, out of ono pau of dirt, $60 was obtained. ‘The Silver Bow mining distriet is not only confiued to placer diggings, hut hus some of the finest quirty ledges that I ever eaw ; and among them is the Brady ledge. ‘his ledge has a shaft sink to the depth of lorty-five leet, and has a creviee which, at the bottom of the shaft, is ahout nino feet wide, ‘the rock ia both silver and gold bearing. Another good ledge it this distnet 13 the Mauritius, owned hy Mr. Win, ii. Harris. ‘he rock Irom this lode is very rich in silver; the ereviee is near the surface, about four leet in width, and is well detiued. Helena utter of same says: On the Ist inst., Jobu Bristol cleaned up trom aten tours’ run, with four hands, on a bar elaim nt No 2 below Discovery, in White’s Gulch, $1,265; a nugeet, almost perfeetly rouml und tree from quartz, weighing the odd $260, Gis Indian, (olmes Guleh, and Dry Gulch, are yivlding Hnely in the most tempting looking dust.Adminer’s wile on Short creek, went vub prospecting nlone one afternoon, and struck arieh lead of dirt. She took ont S300 with a pan in amhanr.A nugget of gold was fvuud on Indinn ereck, weighing 3870. COLORADO. From the Journal of June Sth, we clip the following items: We learn that the DuBois brothers, who have for the lust year been prospecting for silver in and around the foot of Long’s Peak, have recently jut up a smelting furnace in that district. Hall a pound of quartz Irom the Vanderbilt yielded hy fire assuy the other day. one dollar.the Black Hawk eompany retorted for the week's run, twenty pounds and » half, worth $5,000. Four eords of average Bobtail ore, cleaned up aud retorted ninety-eight onnees of gold, as the result of their last week's ruu—worth in currency about $2,000. Owing to a lack of ore, the Holbrook inill has lain idle during the past week. ‘The superintendent informs us that the mine is improving, the ereviee gradually widening as they sink on it.The ‘l'enessee, tuunel is to be repaired und work resumed iu earnest.A prospect was taken yesterday by Mr. Jno.

Mr. B. obtained fifty-two eents as the result. ‘The shaft is, just coming out of the eap, and the ore now obtained is of the first quality of iron. Preparations are now making to take it out in large quantities and have it crashed in one of the old water mills in Missouri City. The Register has these items: Hon. J.T. Lynch has raised fifty thousand dollars working eapital for the purpose of developing the Suky lode near Montgomery, Snake river.In a recent run from the ores taken from Sensenderfer’s claim on the Bobtail, twenty per cent. by weight of the bullion taken out was shown by assay to be silver.'The Congress gold oining company, in Russel Gulch, ore working . claim Nv. 1. on the Saratoga tude. ‘They have o J45-foot shaft sunk dowu to goud ore, and teel considvrably elated! at the prospeets uheud.

Cannel Coal in the United States of Colombia. Mr. May, an English engineer in the employ of the Colombin goveruinent, S. A., iu his report published in the offieial jonrnnls of that Republic on October 3st, 1865, gives un aeeount of the discovery in the province of Rio Hacha, ol immeuso depusits of coal ‘of tbe variety enlled eannel;” nnd proposes that n ruilroud forty-two miles long, from the mivesto the sea be eonstrocted, in order to make the new discovery avnilnble. In the course of the report, he givesu very eomplete deseriptiou of this species of eonl, which we quote from the London Colliery Guardian of Mareh 24th : “Cannel coal is known in mineralogy asa black inineral having usually a slight tinge of grey; its texture is compact, and its fraetnre even or conchoidal with large cavities; its Inster is resinous nnd glistening ; it is sufliciently solid and hard to be cut and polished, and is the least brittle vuriety of coal. Its specific gravity varies from 1.23 to 1.27. It contains, according to Kirwan, carbon 75.2, bitamen 21.68, hydrogen 21.6, nitrogen 13.7. It burns without softening, with a largo bright flame of short duration, leaving a sooty substance ; and when the combustion is complete, there is an earthy residue of at least three per cent. Its heating power is the same aseok2. Its odor, like that of jet, is not nonpleasant. When placad on the fire, it often deerepitates and breaks into angular fragments. It is found in England at Wigan and Whitehaven, also at Gilmeston, in Scotland; there is also said to be a mine at Cape Breton, and a few others of little impoitanee in the United States. It is employed, like jet, for mnking inkholders, toys, etc. Whien of fine quality it dors not soil the fingers, und it ignites ond burus like a candle. It iz used in Englnod and the United States for fnel in the houses of wealthy peop‘e, either alune or nixeil with ather coal, It is the hest coal known for making gas, and would be universally employed for that purpose, and for the extraction of kerosine, which it yields in abundance, but for its seareity and high price. It is peculiariy suitable for heating the boilers of locomotives, and all other classes of steam engines, on accouut of its burning witha free flame. After engineers have done all they can, and have exhausted their skill and ingenuity to perfeet the machinery of steamboats, the substitution of canuel for the ordinary fuels employed will give from twenty to twenty-five per cent. more velocity to a vessel. ‘he weight and quantity of eannel coal required to produce a given effect are much less than when ordinary eoalis burned; and all the American steamboats whenever high speed is required, use this eoul either alone or mixed with other eombustibles.” Wuo Discoverep Go.p.—Cadmus is said to be the first who discovered gold. Some authors attribute its discovery to Thoas of T'hraee; others to Mereury, son of Jupiter ; others to Pisus, King of ltaly, who having left his eountry, went to Egypt, where be was ehosen king after the death of Mizraim, and rece?ved the surname of God of Gold, on account of his diseovery. Others say that Maclis or Ceveus, sop of Jupiter, or Sol, son of Oceanus, was tho first who discovered gold. Lschyles thinks that Promethers not only diseovered gold but also other metals. Tar anti-cholera disinfecting fluid used at Naples, was said to be very effective. Its basis was permanganate of potassium, and which is. in fnet, ozone. Its introduction and general appliance bas been the work of some British residents, who procured a supply from London. To sone men it isindispensable to be worth The Riining and Srientific Lress, money, for without it they would be worth nothing. j MART Professional Cards. $a — Trades and Manufactures. & DBUGRBISE & SON, ARCHITECTSDFSIGNS, MACHINE DRAWINGS, AND DIAWINGS ON Woop.
