HE INVENTOR OF THE ABOVE RECENTLY 1Mproved Machine, is now prepared to take eontraets for concentrating gold or silver ores on shares, receiving a certain per cent. of the sulphurets as may be agreed upon; and will guarantee twenty per cent. morc sulphurets than from any roeker or coneentrator built on the Paeific eoast, saviug at least nlnety percent. of the sulphurets eontalned nthe ore. The sulphurets, lf desired for shipping, will eontain less than one per cent. of sand. Persons who have sulphureted ores will do well to have their sulphurets saved; asthe many fallures in minlng can often be attributed to the waste ot sulphurets. For particulars, address it~ One of thése Machines can be seen in operation at the Union Founpay, in this city, up stairs. ANOREW HUNTER, Inventor, San Franciseo. VARNEY’S PATENT AMALGAMATOR. These Machines Stand Unrivaled. 22v13-3m For rapidly pniverizing and amalgamating ores, they have noequal. Noeffort has been, or willbe, spared to have them constructed In the most perfect manner, and of the great number now jn operstion, not one haseverre‘uired repairs. The constant and increasing demand tor them is suticlent evidence of their merits. i They are constructed so a3to apply steam directly into the pulp, or with steam bottoms, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan heing filled, the motion of the-muller forces the pulp to the center, where it ls drawu dow throngh the aperture and between the grinding surfaces. Thence it is thrown to the periphery into the quicksilver. The curved plates again draw lt to the eenter, where it passes down, and tothe circumterence as before. Thusitis constantly assing in a regular flow between the griuding surfaces and into the quicksilver, until the ore is reduced to an impalpable powder, and the metal amalgamated. Setlers made on the same principle excel all others.— They bring the pulpso constantly and pertectly in contact with quicksilver, that the particles are rapidly and com pletely absorbed. A] men are invited to examine these pans and setlers for themselves, at the PACIFIC FOUNDRY, 1v1 San Franelsco, Steam Pumps, FOR ORAINING MINES OR ELEVATING WATER TO ANY HIGHT.

They were evidently feeling very well from the cxcitement of stimulants, and were exhibiting feats of gymnastics, when oneof them, a young German named Wilder, declared that he had strength sufficient in his fist to knock through one of the stout panels of the door. Before his comrades could-interfere, Wilder struck the door, forcing the panel compleitcly. The blow bruised his knuckles considerably, but not so Seriously as it was thought, breaking the flesh and making them blecd. The hand was also beuumbed. Nothing was thought of the mattcr at the time, the hand was done up and the party separated. The numbness in Wilder’s hand continued to increase. He experienced no pain, but a dead feeling, as if the hand had gone to sleep, as he expressed it. In a few wecks the hand began to wither and the fingers to shrink up, and now they present a curlousappearance. The hand is wholly useless, and of a dead looking gray color, as if no blood circulated in it, and has shrunk to nearly one-half the size of the otherhand, Thenails are black, but still retain their hold upon the flesh. They have not grown any since the blow was given. Upon cutting the hand, a little blood will stand in the wound, but it does not bleed like a fresh cut. There is no sign of mortification in the hand. The dead feeling reaches only a few inches up the arm. Wilder has no power over the hand, and cannot closeit. The bones of the fingers seem to have shrunk with the flesh, and to have softened to a substance resembling gristle. Several surgeons have examined the hand and declare that they never saw nor heard of a case similar to this. The hand and arm are watched carefully, and if signs of the numbness are discovered spreading, as they are now, ampuiation will be performed.” Maunine Surr.— Samuel Adams has brought snitin the Twelfth District Cowt against his partners in the Delphi claim, Kern county. He charges that on December 12th, 1865, defendants Maraschi and McKeadney took possession of the mines and worked them so unskillfully as to cause & loss to the company of $20,000; that the value of the whole mine is $80,000; that since November 23d, 1864, 1,129 tons of rock have been taken out, valued at $85 per ton; that not only false returns have been made from the proceeds, but that defendants have willfully permitted much gold to remain in the tailings, that they might wash them over again for their own benefit. According to the complaint, the mining and crushing expenses ought not to exceed $15 per ton. The defendants’ total yield is put down at only $5,535, when, as complaint alleges, the mine has yielded $50,000. Plaintiff prays for a partition and division by referee, that the property be sold, account taken, defendants restrained, recciyer appointed, ete. Lauorep But Goop.—T wo strangers, supposed to be from the east and believed to be ‘ capitalists,” as well from their manners as from the fine quality of their ‘‘store clothes,” strolled over Lander Hill examining various mining operations. Coming to a certain mine, where therc was but one man at work, they stopped for a moment to observe the superior character of the preparations for extensive mining. A spacious and clean face had been cut on the hillside, which afforded a platform of generous dimensions at the mouth of the tunnel, which had been comnienced and driven ina few feet. The handsome job seemed to be the result of a combination of capital and skill, They asked the solitary workman—who, by the way, is of small size, but of good stufi—the oame of the company and its capital stock Resting on his pick, the plucky little fellow replied: ‘‘I am the company, gentleman ; and my capital stock is a couple of sacks of flour, aside of bacon, a strong will, good health and a quiet conscience.”— Reese River Reveille, March 2d. Taxmpermy.—Immense numbers of deceased poodles are stuffed every year in New York, in the highest style of the art, for their bereaved mistresses, by those who make taxidermy a profession. The price is fifteen dollars. Don’r Pay.—The expense of working the copper mines near Santiago de Cuba, iucluding cost of transportation of the ore, no longer admits of profitable competition with other mines. They will therefore be abandoned. "

They were evidently feeling very well from the cxcitement of stimulants, and were exhibiting feats of gymnastics, when oneof them, a young German named Wilder, declared that he had strength sufficient in his fist to knock through one of the stout panels of the door. Before his comrades could-interfere, Wilder struck the door, forcing the panel compleitcly. The blow bruised his knuckles considerably, but not so Seriously as it was thought, breaking the flesh and making them blecd. The hand was also beuumbed. Nothing was thought of the mattcr at the time, the hand was done up and the party separated. The numbness in Wilder’s hand continued to increase. He experienced no pain, but a dead feeling, as if the hand had gone to sleep, as he expressed it. In a few wecks the hand began to wither and the fingers to shrink up, and now they present a curlousappearance. The hand is wholly useless, and of a dead looking gray color, as if no blood circulated in it, and has shrunk to nearly one-half the size of the otherhand, Thenails are black, but still retain their hold upon the flesh. They have not grown any since the blow was given. Upon cutting the hand, a little blood will stand in the wound, but it does not bleed like a fresh cut. There is no sign of mortification in the hand. The dead feeling reaches only a few inches up the arm. Wilder has no power over the hand, and cannot closeit. The bones of the fingers seem to have shrunk with the flesh, and to have softened to a substance resembling gristle. Several surgeons have examined the hand and declare that they never saw nor heard of a case similar to this. The hand and arm are watched carefully, and if signs of the numbness are discovered spreading, as they are now, ampuiation will be performed.” Maunine Surr.— Samuel Adams has brought snitin the Twelfth District Cowt against his partners in the Delphi claim, Kern county. He charges that on December 12th, 1865, defendants Maraschi and McKeadney took possession of the mines and worked them so unskillfully as to cause & loss to the company of $20,000; that the value of the whole mine is $80,000; that since November 23d, 1864, 1,129 tons of rock have been taken out, valued at $85 per ton; that not only false returns have been made from the proceeds, but that defendants have willfully permitted much gold to remain in the tailings, that they might wash them over again for their own benefit. According to the complaint, the mining and crushing expenses ought not to exceed $15 per ton. The defendants’ total yield is put down at only $5,535, when, as complaint alleges, the mine has yielded $50,000. Plaintiff prays for a partition and division by referee, that the property be sold, account taken, defendants restrained, recciyer appointed, ete. Lauorep But Goop.—T wo strangers, supposed to be from the east and believed to be ‘ capitalists,” as well from their manners as from the fine quality of their ‘‘store clothes,” strolled over Lander Hill examining various mining operations. Coming to a certain mine, where therc was but one man at work, they stopped for a moment to observe the superior character of the preparations for extensive mining. A spacious and clean face had been cut on the hillside, which afforded a platform of generous dimensions at the mouth of the tunnel, which had been comnienced and driven ina few feet. The handsome job seemed to be the result of a combination of capital and skill, They asked the solitary workman—who, by the way, is of small size, but of good stufi—the oame of the company and its capital stock Resting on his pick, the plucky little fellow replied: ‘‘I am the company, gentleman ; and my capital stock is a couple of sacks of flour, aside of bacon, a strong will, good health and a quiet conscience.”— Reese River Reveille, March 2d.
