Cahalan sicently died inteatate in Durango, Mexico, leaving a valuable property. His heirs are four full -brothers and sisters, Ed-ward Michael, Mary, Ann and Catherine Cahalan, the last named being deceased and now represented by her three children, William, Edward: and Francis Kelly ; also five half-brothers and sisters—Eliza Cahalan George, Julia Cahalan Sullivan, Jathes Cahalan, Helen Cahalan Steffani and Francis Cahalan. The latter five are supposed to be residents of Nevada county. Judge Walling of the Superior Court. of this county has received a request from 'the Probate Court of Durango to have them notified to appear in person or by attorney before that OCourt within two months from the time they are served with the notice to so appear. Judge Wulling does not: know of any such people, and is anxious to learn their whereabouts. If they orany person knowing of them will notify.the Judge as to the whereabouts of the heirs, it will be to the advantage of the latter. : re Cannon Acquitted. At 12:45 Thursday morning the jury in the case of the People vs. Frank M. Cannon, tried for selling a counterfeit nugget to a Chinaman, returned a verdict of not guilty. They had been out nearly seven hours. The second charge “of the same kind was dismissed. W. P. Sowden was defendant’s attorney. —_—_—_—_—_—— Turkey Dinner.

The following is from the State Mineralogist’s report for 1888: These works, which are leased to H. 4 Stansfield, are situated at the Merrifield miné’on Deer creek, about a niile west of Nevada City. The lessée buys concentrated sulphurets from the varicent of the result of sample assay. He roasts the ore before taking the sample for assay, in“order to protect himself in case there be a loss, of gold in the roasting, which he thinks alweys occurs to a greater of less extent. His chargo for custom work is $18 per ton. These works consist of a reverberatory roasting furnace, seventy feet in length by ten feet wide inside, and having a roasting capacity for three tons ‘of concentrates per twenty-four hours, with a consumption of three fourths of a cord of wood to the ton. The works contain two chlorine generators; four “gassing tubs’’ (chlorining vats), three precipitating tubs for gold, three for silver, ‘and-other usual im‘plements and apparatus. The dimensions of the ‘gassing tubs’’ are: diameter six feet eight inches, depth two feet six inches inside with a capacity for threé tons of ore. The precipitating vats for gold have a diameter of six feet and a depth of three feet; those for silver being of like dimensions. The leaching tubs for silver are similar to the “gassing tubs.’ The vats are coated with a mixture of asphalt and coal-tar, in the manner first introduced by G. F. Deetkin, M. E., and once the subject of a patent long since expired. Red fireproof paint is used for the inside of-the vat covers, this perfectly. protecting the wood from the action of the chlorine. The filters are simply perforated boards covered with burlap. ., Aiter the gold has been leached out, the ore, if it contains silver, is transferred to the silver leaching tubs, where it is leached with calcium ‘‘hypo”’ for the silver. The latter, after being thus extracted, is precipitated as silver sulphide in the precipitating tubs, by stirring in a solution of calcium polysulphide. On-the sides of the silver precipitating tubs a thick black crystalline crust. has formed, which contains a large proportion of silver, it being probably gypsum and silver sulphide. The chlorine generators are of the patent formerly used by Professor Crosby at Nevada City, being without +. stirrers. They stand in a slightly inclined position, so that the bottoms slope downward from the point of ingress of the acid. A water bath is used for heating the generators, it being preferable to a hot plate,-as it prevents too high a degree of heat, which cauces the solid in the generator to form a hard crust, troublesome to remove. The tops of the generators are of the flat style, luted in a flange. They very seldom require to be raised; as, by avoidance of too high heat, the exhausted charge is readily removed by means of a stream of water, through the spout in the side, which passes through the wall of the iron pan forming the water bath: Por the eduction: of the chlorine there is a short, wide standpipe in the cover, in the upper end of which is fitied a plug of lead carrying the educting pipe, also of lead. -Another similar arrangement carries the S tube by which acid is introduced, this-being made wide enongh to' serve also, on removing the plug, for the introduction of the charge of manganese and salt. Sulphuric acid is bought in iron tanks, which effects a saving in freight and breakage, as compared with carboys. The ore is exposed to the action of chlorine during forty-eight hours. The goldis precipitated from the leach by solution of sulphate of iron. Dimensions of furnace.

Mr. Stansfield has observed in some cases a heavy loss of gold in roasting in the muffle without salt. In one case this amounted to 25 per cent. of the resuit obtained by direct as: say of the raw ore, and in all cases there is some loss. The cause would be a very interesting mater for investigation. It has been known to metallurgists that a heavy loss of gold by volatilization may occur in the roasting of some auriferous sulphurets with an addition of salt. This was discovered by O. H. Aaron, and remarked on in his book ‘‘Hand-book on Lea: hing Gold and Silver Ores,” published yin 1881, the fact having been rediscovered by C. A. Stetefeldt several years later. Stetefeldt attributes the loss to the presenve of cuprous chloride in the roasting ore, resulting from copper pyrites under the action of the salt. Other metallurgists dispute this explanation, saying that they have had a different experience. Certain it is that concentrated pyrites have often been roasted with as much as 5 per cent, of salt added to the raw ore without any loss or any considerable loss of gold; equally certain that.in other. a . cases the addition of two per cent. of salt at an early stage in the roasting has caused a heavy loss, not alone in -. work. Ever since Deetkin, in 1866, introduced the use of eult in the roasting of auriferous pyrites, on account of the jpeow of tale in the sulphurets of . ous mills, paying from 85 ; a eye LB gl nod fled the local operators of that day un-}Francisco, muffle experiments, but in practical . the Eureka mine, the practice has been followed in all cases by operators in this vicinity; whether the material contains talc, or silver, or either 6f those substances, as the use of a little salt was found to reduce the consumption of chlorine in the gassing tubs. The practice was to mix the salt with the raw charge, a method necessary, perhaps, when talc is present, but, just as in 1866 the sudden appearance of talcose matter in the Eureka sulphurets, which up to that time had been treated successfully without salt, baftil Deetkin’s discovery ; so, about 1878, the sulphurets from the Murchie mine, to which salt was added in the then usual manner, not only as a safeguard against the possible presence of magnesian compounds, but as a matter of necessity on account of the silver in the ore, offered at once a stumbling]. block and a revelation, in that a large percentage of the gold went up the chimney. This time it was Aaron -who came to the rescue, he showing that the loss of gold could be avoided, and the silver chloridized by reserving the salt until the dead roasting is completed, then adding it, after lowering the temperature of the furnace, and withdrawing the charge within twenty minutes. s The announcement of the: volatility of gold in roasting was at tirst received with.incredulity, except by those who had tried to work the Murchie sulphurets. Today every operator :on this coast is on his guard in this respect. Thus it is that while the purely practical man may sticceed very well“ while followin: a beaten road, he is compelled, when the road forks or becomes obscure, to app'y to science for direction and guidance. Mr. Stansfield declares that there is a loss, and may be a heavy loss, of gold in the roasting of sulphurets in the absence of salt, and that the loss is not merely mechanical, ds by decrepitation, etc. It may be that Mr. Stansfield has ro.sted too rapidly, which is always dangerous ii a reverberatory furnace, and it-may be that-some of the-ores treated by him contained tellurium, another cause of trouble when present.

The social Wednesday night attracted quite a gathering and was highly enjoyed by all. The program was most excellent, the following participating in it: Miss Della McCord, Miss Bertha McCutchan, Miss Lola J. Harding, Mrs. Davenport and J. Werry rendering vocal solos; an instrumental’ duet by Misses Gertie and Kittie Goyne; instrumental solo, Mrs. Maishall W. Locklin; recitations Mrs. Pare, Miss Mary Weisenburger and Miss Marcia Hagar; anthem by the choir. After the program refreshments were served and a general good time indulged in by old and young. The receip:s were about $23; Going Ahead. Nevada City has at present a progresssive Board of Tiustees, and despite the fact that they are hampered in their transactions by a charter that is as full of bad and inoperative cluuses asa seiveis of holes, they are making much headway in improving the corporation’s affairs. Among the best things they are doing is bettering the street lighting system which haa for years been inadequate and badly arranged in many quarters. They are keeping in good condition the street cvossings,and having the streets themselves improved wherever it is pcessible. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a general revival of trade at Carr Bros., Drug Store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption.

Higginbottom whg was here several months ago, looking over the field for the purpose of informing himeself‘as to the inducements to erect reduction works at which ores and concentrates would be treated by the Newberry-Vautin -process, he secured an option on a traci of land on the railroad about ane mile east of town. He now~sends word from Omaha that the London gyndicate, for which he was operating, has authorized the completion of the purchase, and has deposited the money with Wells, Fargo & Co., to his credit. From this it would appear that the company bas decided to erect works in this district, which will be the only works in California using the Newberry-Vautin process. The intention is to build the works ona scale to handle all the business not only that this district may afford, but from all other quartz mining districts of the State, and it is expected that the business will grow into-lrge proportions. The company has now large reduction works at Denver, Colorado, and is crowded with business all the time.

Why ThisIs An Important American Anniversary. This is probably the most important of American anniversaries. The Declaration of Independence would have been an empty proclamation had there not been a Washington to plan the battles and lead the Revolutionary patriots to victory. The exalted place in history which is occupied by the name of Washington, was fully earned by him; he did not obtain greatness by luck, or by happening to be the last of a series of generals. His career asa civilian contains more than that asa soldier, and would have given him distinguished honors had he never entered the army. In-his own day the value of his services was appreciated, and posterity has not been neglectful of the debt of gratitude which is due to him. The anniversary of his birth is not celebrated with processions or other public demonstrations, ‘. but it is because it is against the spirit of our age to indulge in mere man worship, unless the man be alive and have favors to bestow upon adulators, In the early days of the country, there was more talent at the front so to speak, than at any subsequent time. Vulgar ignorance did not manage the affairs of the people as it has too frequently in later years. They whorepresented the people in their struggle for independence were, for the most part, men of high education and culture. To be prominent among such surroundings was an honor doubly. great. Many popular movements based upon enduring principles of right and justice, have proven futile for the lack of competent~-leadership. The achievement.of American Independence might have been deferred for a generation, or indefinitely, but tor the who appeared on the scene of action as leaders and as commanders both in the field and on the forum. Noman who has ever lived has left to pcsterity the history of a purer or more useful life. He left no tarnish upon his fame; he _was_a fitting personage to be_revered for all future ages as the Father of his Country. A River Commission. Speaking of Senator Preston’s latest important bill, the Marysville Democrat says: “‘3enator Preston, of Nevada county, has, introduced a measure jn the Senate providing for the affpointment of a commission of three competent engineers, in.good standing in their profession, to be known and called the ‘Examining Commission on Rivers and Harbors.’ They shall hold office until the first day of January, 1891,and their duties shall be to make a full and mentoand San Joaquin rivers, and such other rivers and streams as they may select fer the purpose. They shall determine what steps are necessary forthe rectification and improvement of such rivers and streams, and shall make or cause to be made all such necessary and™proper surveys, examinations, maps, designs, drawings, estimates, specifications.and exhibits as will enable the Congress of the United States to clearly understand the condition of such rivers, and the expense of properly rectifying the same, The commission, is to make a report tothé Governor on or before October 1st, 1890, and shall be allowed $2400 a year each and traveling expenses. In conversation with Senator Preston, he informed us that the bill was drawn by Mr, Huber, superintendent of the work now in progress at Folsom,and is designed to arrange surveys of the rivers, with the design of putting flood-gates in the levees so that the debris can be floated upon the land, and cause accumulations which in time will prevent overflows. He stated that if the rivers were dredged as had been proposed, they would quickly fill up again, and by the plan proposed; the sediment washed down by the streams would flow upon the low lands, and accumulate permanently, gradually increasing the height of .the land, and making the work of rectification permanent. This.bill is No. 510, and is thought to be so far down in the file thatit will be buried permanently in the committee on Mines and Mining to which it has been referred. We do not believe it would suit those most interested, for the sediment in our rivers is hardly land that is fit for cultivation, . 4 80 it is at least worth while to watch the progress of this measure, and to examine its provisions.” Shiloh’s Consumption Cure.

The following is from the State Mineralogist’s report for 1888: These works, which are leased to H. 4 Stansfield, are situated at the Merrifield miné’on Deer creek, about a niile west of Nevada City. The lessée buys concentrated sulphurets from the varicent of the result of sample assay. He roasts the ore before taking the sample for assay, in“order to protect himself in case there be a loss, of gold in the roasting, which he thinks alweys occurs to a greater of less extent. His chargo for custom work is $18 per ton. These works consist of a reverberatory roasting furnace, seventy feet in length by ten feet wide inside, and having a roasting capacity for three tons ‘of concentrates per twenty-four hours, with a consumption of three fourths of a cord of wood to the ton. The works contain two chlorine generators; four “gassing tubs’’ (chlorining vats), three precipitating tubs for gold, three for silver, ‘and-other usual im‘plements and apparatus. The dimensions of the ‘gassing tubs’’ are: diameter six feet eight inches, depth two feet six inches inside with a capacity for threé tons of ore. The precipitating vats for gold have a diameter of six feet and a depth of three feet; those for silver being of like dimensions. The leaching tubs for silver are similar to the “gassing tubs.’ The vats are coated with a mixture of asphalt and coal-tar, in the manner first introduced by G. F. Deetkin, M. E., and once the subject of a patent long since expired. Red fireproof paint is used for the inside of-the vat covers, this perfectly. protecting the wood from the action of the chlorine. The filters are simply perforated boards covered with burlap. ., Aiter the gold has been leached out, the ore, if it contains silver, is transferred to the silver leaching tubs, where it is leached with calcium ‘‘hypo”’ for the silver. The latter, after being thus extracted, is precipitated as silver sulphide in the precipitating tubs, by stirring in a solution of calcium polysulphide. On-the sides of the silver precipitating tubs a thick black crystalline crust. has formed, which contains a large proportion of silver, it being probably gypsum and silver sulphide. The chlorine generators are of the patent formerly used by Professor Crosby at Nevada City, being without +. stirrers. They stand in a slightly inclined position, so that the bottoms slope downward from the point of ingress of the acid. A water bath is used for heating the generators, it being preferable to a hot plate,-as it prevents too high a degree of heat, which cauces the solid in the generator to form a hard crust, troublesome to remove. The tops of the generators are of the flat style, luted in a flange. They very seldom require to be raised; as, by avoidance of too high heat, the exhausted charge is readily removed by means of a stream of water, through the spout in the side, which passes through the wall of the iron pan forming the water bath: Por the eduction: of the chlorine there is a short, wide standpipe in the cover, in the upper end of which is fitied a plug of lead carrying the educting pipe, also of lead. -Another similar arrangement carries the S tube by which acid is introduced, this-being made wide enongh to' serve also, on removing the plug, for the introduction of the charge of manganese and salt. Sulphuric acid is bought in iron tanks, which effects a saving in freight and breakage, as compared with carboys. The ore is exposed to the action of chlorine during forty-eight hours. The goldis precipitated from the leach by solution of sulphate of iron. Dimensions of furnace.

Mr. Stansfield has observed in some cases a heavy loss of gold in roasting in the muffle without salt. In one case this amounted to 25 per cent. of the resuit obtained by direct as: say of the raw ore, and in all cases there is some loss. The cause would be a very interesting mater for investigation. It has been known to metallurgists that a heavy loss of gold by volatilization may occur in the roasting of some auriferous sulphurets with an addition of salt. This was discovered by O. H. Aaron, and remarked on in his book ‘‘Hand-book on Lea: hing Gold and Silver Ores,” published yin 1881, the fact having been rediscovered by C. A. Stetefeldt several years later. Stetefeldt attributes the loss to the presenve of cuprous chloride in the roasting ore, resulting from copper pyrites under the action of the salt. Other metallurgists dispute this explanation, saying that they have had a different experience. Certain it is that concentrated pyrites have often been roasted with as much as 5 per cent, of salt added to the raw ore without any loss or any considerable loss of gold; equally certain that.in other. a . cases the addition of two per cent. of salt at an early stage in the roasting has caused a heavy loss, not alone in -. work. Ever since Deetkin, in 1866, introduced the use of eult in the roasting of auriferous pyrites, on account of the jpeow of tale in the sulphurets of . ous mills, paying from 85 ; a eye LB gl nod fled the local operators of that day un-}Francisco, muffle experiments, but in practical . the Eureka mine, the practice has been followed in all cases by operators in this vicinity; whether the material contains talc, or silver, or either 6f those substances, as the use of a little salt was found to reduce the consumption of chlorine in the gassing tubs. The practice was to mix the salt with the raw charge, a method necessary, perhaps, when talc is present, but, just as in 1866 the sudden appearance of talcose matter in the Eureka sulphurets, which up to that time had been treated successfully without salt, baftil Deetkin’s discovery ; so, about 1878, the sulphurets from the Murchie mine, to which salt was added in the then usual manner, not only as a safeguard against the possible presence of magnesian compounds, but as a matter of necessity on account of the silver in the ore, offered at once a stumbling]. block and a revelation, in that a large percentage of the gold went up the chimney. This time it was Aaron -who came to the rescue, he showing that the loss of gold could be avoided, and the silver chloridized by reserving the salt until the dead roasting is completed, then adding it, after lowering the temperature of the furnace, and withdrawing the charge within twenty minutes. s The announcement of the: volatility of gold in roasting was at tirst received with.incredulity, except by those who had tried to work the Murchie sulphurets. Today every operator :on this coast is on his guard in this respect. Thus it is that while the purely practical man may sticceed very well“ while followin: a beaten road, he is compelled, when the road forks or becomes obscure, to app'y to science for direction and guidance. Mr. Stansfield declares that there is a loss, and may be a heavy loss, of gold in the roasting of sulphurets in the absence of salt, and that the loss is not merely mechanical, ds by decrepitation, etc. It may be that Mr. Stansfield has ro.sted too rapidly, which is always dangerous ii a reverberatory furnace, and it-may be that-some of the-ores treated by him contained tellurium, another cause of trouble when present.

He now~sends word from Omaha that the London gyndicate, for which he was operating, has authorized the completion of the purchase, and has deposited the money with Wells, Fargo & Co., to his credit. From this it would appear that the company bas decided to erect works in this district, which will be the only works in California using the Newberry-Vautin process. The intention is to build the works ona scale to handle all the business not only that this district may afford, but from all other quartz mining districts of the State, and it is expected that the business will grow into-lrge proportions.

Why ThisIs An Important American Anniversary. This is probably the most important of American anniversaries. The Declaration of Independence would have been an empty proclamation had there not been a Washington to plan the battles and lead the Revolutionary patriots to victory. The exalted place

in history which is occupied by the name of Washington, was fully earned by him; he did not obtain greatness by luck, or by happening to be the last of a series of generals. His career asa civilian contains more than that asa soldier, and would have given him distinguished honors had he never entered the army. In-his own day the value of his services was appreciated, and posterity has not been neglectful of the debt of gratitude which is due to him. The anniversary of his birth is not celebrated with processions or other public demonstrations, ‘. but it is because it is against the spirit of our age to indulge in mere man worship, unless the man be alive and have favors to bestow upon adulators, In the early days of the country, there was more talent at the front so to speak, than at any subsequent time. Vulgar ignorance did not manage the affairs of the people as it has too frequently in later years. They whorepresented the people in their struggle for independence were, for the most part, men of high education and culture. To be prominent among such surroundings was an honor doubly. great. Many popular movements based upon enduring principles of right and justice, have proven futile for the lack of competent~-leadership. The achievement.of American Independence might have been deferred for a generation, or indefinitely, but tor the who appeared on the scene of action as leaders and as commanders both in the field and on the forum. Noman who has ever lived has left to pcsterity the history of a purer or more useful life. He left no tarnish upon his fame; he _was_a fitting personage to be_revered for all future ages as the Father of his Country. A River Commission. Speaking of Senator Preston’s latest important bill, the Marysville Democrat says: “‘3enator Preston, of Nevada county, has, introduced a measure jn the Senate providing for the affpointment of a commission of three competent engineers, in.good standing in their profession, to be known and called the ‘Examining Commission on Rivers and Harbors.’ They shall hold office until the first day of January, 1891,and their duties shall be to make a full and mentoand San Joaquin rivers, and such other rivers and streams as they may select fer the purpose. They shall determine what steps are necessary forthe rectification and improvement of such rivers and streams, and shall make or cause to be made all such necessary and™proper surveys, examinations, maps, designs, drawings, estimates, specifications.and exhibits as will enable the Congress of the United States to clearly understand the condition of such rivers, and the expense of properly rectifying the same, The commission, is to make a report tothé Governor on or before October 1st, 1890, and shall be allowed $2400 a year each and traveling expenses. In conversation with Senator Preston, he informed us that the bill was drawn by Mr, Huber, superintendent of the work now in progress at Folsom,and is designed to arrange surveys of the rivers, with the design of putting flood-gates in the levees so that the debris can be floated upon the land, and cause accumulations which in time will prevent overflows. He stated that if the rivers were dredged as had been proposed, they would quickly fill up again, and by the plan proposed; the sediment washed down by the streams would flow upon the low lands, and accumulate permanently, gradually increasing the height of .the land, and making the work of rectification permanent. This.bill is No. 510, and is thought to be so far down in the file thatit will be buried permanently in the committee on Mines and Mining to which it has been referred. We do not believe it would suit those most interested, for the sediment in our rivers is hardly land that is fit for cultivation, . 4 80 it is at least worth while to watch the progress of this measure, and to examine its provisions.” Shiloh’s Consumption Cure.
