The practical working of this experimental crusher will he watched with great interest, as there arc thousands of tons of such rock in the district awaiting the arrival of a custom mill. ence is a grand thing in the abstract; but, as applied to mining and ore reduction, it is a wretched failure in practice. We advise the Carson people to send to Eureka for their smeller, to Colorado for their leaclier, to Austin for their chlorinizcr, and to Virginia for their superintendent. But by all means let them give the Erci burgers a cold shoulder.

Only one Comstock company ever failed to levy an assessment, and that was the California, which was incorporated on a portion of the Consolidated Virginia ground after the discovery of NKW MEXICO. the famous bonanza of ISTo, and which was A few days since, there was taken from the able to begin paying dividends immediately Iiomestake mine at White Oaks, a bucket full after its organization. of quartz containing wire gold to the value of In his weekly report, dated January 11, Su$1,000. perintendent Head, of the Eureka Con., says : The mines in the Cerillos and New Placer The ore bodies are looking well as usual.

The Eureka, smelters no doubt understand how to handle and reduce the ores from that district.. They have learned the ores thoroughly, and know what combinations to make lor the furnaces. But, put an Eureka smelter in a new district where there is an entirely different class of ores from those lie has been familiar with, and the chances are that he will have trouble in making his first run ; he must become familiar with the new ores before he can smelt them suecesfully. We dont go a cent on .scientific smelters from Freiburg or any other German burg, hut we do claim that a man to ho a successful smelter must he an assayer and have some knowledge of the chemistry of ores. e j j j 1 1 j 1 j LATEST DIVIDENDS AND ASSESSMENTS.
