a The Mining and Scientific Press. Copper Reduction Works at San Francisco. We are informed that a company is perfecting organization for the purpose of erecting copper reduction works at San Francisco, probably in the vicinity of the Dry Dock, at Hunter’s Point. As it is in the metallurgical difficulty,—the economy of reducing low-grade ores in this country, where onr copper interests have met their quietus, the new wet process of Bischoff promises something that we all hope may be realized to the profit of the parties concerned and the advaptage of the coast, Similar works have been put up at Virginia City to operate on transmontane copper ores; but as that location is ata distance from actual copper mines, and not in a center of easy natural communication, it is presumed that the objects there were mainly experimental. Bischoff’s process is to roast copper sulphurets to such a stage of freedom from sulphur and combination with oxygen, as is recognized in the form of sulphate of copper—chemically, nothing more nor less than blue vitriol. Being theu soluble in water, the sulphate of copper is leached ont, and spongy metallic iron, prepared by a peculiar process from black sand (magnetic iron), is thrown into the solutiov. As the sulphur prefers izyon to copper, the latter is dropped almost instantaneously, falling to the bottom in the form of a red metallic powder. Impuritiesin the copper which result in the smelting product, are here avoided, rendering the further refining of the copper to a marketable state easy. It is proposed to introduce the refined copper so produced at once into the market on this coast, Up to this time nll the copper used in the arts apd trades on the Pacific has been imported. It would seem, certainly, in view of the demands of the market, and of the many localities on the coast where sure-producing copper mines have been exploited past the experimental stage, that copper reduction and copper mining are worthy of further inquiry and of careful attention by stock owners and capitalists, who would profit from all that has been tried and done in that direction. Ponyrecunro Socrety.—A meeting was held ou Thursday evening at the Committee Rooms of the Mechanics’ Institute, by those interested in the formation of a polytechnic Society in conuection with the Institute. The nnmber present showed the great interest taken in the subject by the members. ‘The President of the Institute, Mr. Hallidie, called the meeting to order, and H. J. Holmes was elected Secretary, The Chairman briefly stated the object in calliug the meeting, and called upon gentlemen present to give their views. The aim and scope of such polytechuic societies us those connected with the American Institute at New York, the Franklin Institute at Philadelphia, and the Polytechvic School of London, were presented by different gentlemen. The agreement seemed general as to the necessity for such an institution and the desirableness of having it organized at ence. Several gentleman spoke upon the subject.

RECOMMENDATIONS: San Francisco, Octoher 19th, 1868. Mr. M. Hoxeerrnrp—Dear Sir :-—We have had twelve of your Concentrators at work at the Oneida Mine, Amador County, for about six months. They give entire satisfaction. They are strong and snbstantial, requiring, thns far, no repairs, and do their work thoroughly and effectively. Ata recent clean-up of four ot them, I found that in four wecks' timo we saved about $500 in free gold, besides the sulphurets, or not far from one dollar per ton on the entire ernshing of the ten stamps connected with them. In my opinion, it is for the interest of every quartz mill to have your machines. Yours, respectfully, GEORGE PRINGLE, Supt. Oneida Miue. Orrice oF THE OneIDA Mining Company, Jackson, May 13th 1868 Mr. Morgan Huxexxronp—Dear Sir-—In regard to the four Hungerford Concentrators that I bonght of Messrs. Goss & Lambard last month, I will say that I put them up in the Oneida Mill soon after I arrived here, and find that they save sulphurets well and clean, and work to my entire satisfaction. Ihave tried many nther concentrators, but these stand up and work better than any others ] have used. I have ordered Messrs. Goss & Lambard to make eight more for me as soon as possible. Very teuly yours, JAMES MORGAN. Big Oax Frat, May 25th, 1868.—J/r. T. W. Mulford—DearSir:—I have used two of M.

A full description of tho principle and modo of action of this pan, is described in circulars, which will be forwarded to any party who may desire them. 6 The Hungerford Concentrator has only to be seen to be appreciated.
