396 SCIENTIFIC PRESS. [June 22, 18 An Inventor Going Eastward. Mr. George Pardy, of this city, well known as a Mechanical Engineer and Dranghtsman, and late Secretary of the Mechanice’ Institute, has given up his practice as Engineer and Patent Solicitor, and gone to the Hastern States to introduce his patented system for detecting spurious holders of non-transferable admission tickete to various kinde of audiences and enter tainments. His system of making characters upon the face of tickets when sold, indicating the age, hight, complexion, hair, whiskers, etc., of the purchaser, is a very eimple one, and so conveniently efficient, that some $5,000 or more was saved to the Mechanics’ Institute of this city, by iteuse in one season. Over $2,500 it is conceded, was eaved by the use of Mr. Pardy’s patent tickets at the last State Fair. Believing that its use in other States will be similarly useful, we hope Mr. Pardy will be successful in introducing his invention in the East. ‘We have received the following note from Mr. Pardy, just before leaving, on Monday last, with the request that we should state that his address, for the present, will be at Harrisburg, Pa. San Francisco, June 17th, 1872. Messrs. Dewey & Co., Gentlemen :—I have to thank you for kindly consenting to adjust what Patent bnsinees may remain unfinished in my hande, at date of my departure for the East. I would also take this occasion to refer my late clients. to your firm, as able and trustworthy solicitors, fully prepared to prosecute Patent applications, both here and in Europe. Very truly yours, Gezorce Parpy. Fires.—A fire started at 2 o’clock a. a. on the 13th inst. in the storehouse of the Amador Mining Co., Sutter Creek, which totally destroyed the storehonse, timber house, blacksmith shop and hoisting works over both the north and middle shafts, and thence into the mine by the north shaft, the same which was burned out by the fire two years since. Fora short time it was thought that the fire would get into the lower workings but by well directed efforts it was extinguished. The Superintendent, Mr. Steinberger had all the entrances to the mine closed, after the men had come ont of the south shaft, and the fire was checked, only one man was hurt and he not seriously. The machinery and hoisting apparatus was all comparatively new; preparations have already been made to have the mine in ruuning order again immediately. The Amador Dispatch roughly estimates the loss at not less than $100,000. It is not known at the present writing how badly the shaft ie injured. The fire is said to have been caused by some one going into the store room with a lighted candle and letting it accidently come in contact with a Giant Powder box. A fire broke out on the night of the 16th inst. in King’s Hotel, Mineral Hill, Nevada, by which nearly all the business portion of the town was destroyed. The loss was quite heavy. Tur Pav Process.—We call the attention of quartz miners to the statement, in our advertising columns, of the Superintendent of the Calaveras Mining Co., respecting his test of the Paul Process. The result is reliable, and really remarkable, In the face of such certificates as Mr. Paul has from time to time presented to the readers of the Press, we can scarcely doubt the declarations of Panl’s ability to increase the yield of our California gold mines from 50 to 100 per cent. New Incorporations. The following have filed certificates with the County Clerk, San Francisco. Bartic 8. M. Co.—June 13. Location: Ely District, Nevada. Capital Stock, $2,000,000, in 20,000 shares.

Murine Discovertzes.—Rich silver mines are reported as having been discovered in the madison Range, on the ridge between Elk and Cherry Creek, Montana. Some of the ore has assayed abont $225 per ton. The Santa Fé Post records the discovery of extensive deposits of coaljon the pre-emption lands of Rencher & Co., iu the vicinity of Galisteo, about 20 miles from Sant Fé. It is a bituminous coal, very free from enlphur, aud has been snfficiently tested for house and blacksmith purposes, to prove it of excellent quality for both these purposes. A large and promising vein of yellow sulphuret and carbonate of copper ore has recently been discovered about 5 miles from Caiion City, Colorado. Croppings of bitumiuous coal are reported as having been found along the shore of the Golden Gate, between Point Bonita and Lime Point. Another ledge of cinnabar ore has been found in Sonoma Co., Cal., about four miles from the Geyeers, in the same range of mountains in which the Knox aud Redington mine, in Napa Co., is located. Prospecting is ‘‘ lively ’’ in that locality. Musine Saues,—A dispatch dated, Eureka, June 17th, says, that another heavy mining eale to English capitalists has just been made. The Bullwhacker, Dunderberg, Lord Byron, El Dotado, and Tecoma, are among the mines purchased, Extensive reduction works are to be erected by the company. A private letter from D. Andrews, Postmaster at Buel, Elko Co., Ney., informs ns that the Tecoma, mentioned above, has been sold to W.H. Aspinwall, and others of New York, for $150,000. We presume he refers to the same sale. Tue Quincy National says, that Thos. Robson has sold a one-sixteenth interest in the Buckeye claim for $2,500. A Worthless Patent Made Good.
