Who wear a SylMHB upon lit breast
Docs In the f.ice of God ntust
And In ttic face of man
That ull hi action will compare
With the dlvlue, the unerring SqUAitE,
That square pre it Virtue' plan :
And lie erect hi cdlllco
By thU deatxn, uud this, nnd tbU.
Who wear the Lever, say that pride
Doc not within hi oul abide,
Nor foolish vanity;
Tlot man ha but a common doom
And from the cradle to the tomb
A common destiny,
And ho erect hU edifice
By thl design, and tbU, and till.
Who wear the G that mark divine
Wuoo very sljht should lianlsb sin,
Doth trnt In (Jod alone;
HI Father, Friend, he knew;
He voir and pays to Qod his vow
Before the eternal throne ;
And he erect his edlfleu
Uy till design, and thl and thin.
Who wear the Plcmb, behold how true
HU word and walk ! and could we view
The chamlier of hU oul,
Each hidden thought, so pure and good,
By the stern line or rectitude
Point up tn Heaven's coal;
And he erects his cdltlca
By this design, and this, and this.
Thus life and beauty come to view
In each ileslsn our fathers drew
So glorious and sublime:
Each breathe mi odor from the bloom
Of pirdens bright beyond tho tomb,
Beyond the flight of time.
And bid us build on this, nnd this,
The walls of God's own edifice.
Writing from Pbamix under date of March
20, Messrs Barnctt & Block send u the fol
lowing particular of the Indian attack upon
their trnin on the 31st of January:
On the 3Ut of January our train, consisting of
live teams, was attacked at the San Carlo reser
vation, within a few hundred yard of the post.
A man named Armstrong was Instantly killed by
.1 shot through the stomach, and a man named
nenry received several wound, from tho effect
of which he died two days after. There were
about 15 Indians. They took with them a lot of
blankets, clothing, tools, cnoklnir utensil, etc.,
valued atJG0O; harness, :170; 4 wajronsucct.,
$1120; 1 cane of panocho, fJGO; t case of orangi;,
MO; 1 ca-so of merchandise. 1132; 1 Henry rifle,
910; mddlc nnd bridle, l(K); provisions, $100:
2700 lbs. flour, $.TJl ; 8 mule, $1,000.
The same Indhn were In camp all day nnd ap.
parcully friendly, yet they attacked our party,
Armstrong, Henry nnd tteel, about 8:30 in tho
evening, with the above result.
A California!! lim invented a churn which,
in thirty seconds, converts one gallon of milk
into 7J pounds of butter. Hu want a patent

As New Mexico Is greatly lntcrctcd in the
mining and working of precious metals, a fc
words ujkju one of the many processes of bene
Delating ores may not be entirely unwelcome. We
wish to c ill attention to tho process known ns
llxlviatlon, for the extraction of sliver. This Is
comparatively unknown and not employed In the
United Slates, tor many year, experiments
have been maite by ulllerenl cliciuuts.and metal
lurglsts, In endeavoring to perfect this process
sutlleleutly to give It a command over the present
modes or working ore; yet 11 is out i-uciy, wtiuin
the last two or three years, ttiat Its practical work
lug has been such as to commend it ns tho most
prolltitblc. In Sonorn, It was tlrst developed Into
its present high standing; and uch I tho est!
mate placed upon It there, that most of the mill
are adopting It; and nil acknowledge Its superi
ority In working ore for silver alone. Where
gold Is found lu the ore, It Is extracted by the old
methods. Llxlviatlon steps In and take the
place ol quicksilver; otherwise the milling, ctr.,
Is just the same. Tans and settlers are done away
wiili, una wltti them quicksilver, tor n rough
outline of this method we have the following:
The ore Is dry crushed by battery and roasted in
a trlpfe lurnace. Tho roasted ore Is placed In
wooden boxes (about 1 feet wide, 2 feet high and
8 feet long) which have false bottom or n frame
of latls work covered with canvas In order to re
t.iln the ore while filtration takr place. It out
Ing 1 necessary lu order to obtain soluble metal.
Ic salt lu tho ore. Water Is now run upon the ore
in ttic boxes; me now 01 water received being
equal to the dUchargo keeping tho box always
rull. I tie salts of tlio base metal being soluble
In water, we find that they nre decomposed and
carried oil by this flow of wate, leaving behind
the silver. After four or five hours a test Is made
to know whether nil the base salts have passed
ol!. The test Is cither undo by sulphate of lime
or by tasting the water being very sweet when
Inuring silver. Next the flow of water Is turiird
off and the ore allowed time to become drained
occupying about an hour. Then a solution of
bluo and salt or chloride of copper Is run on,
which carries on" the silver, Is received In large
tanks (wooden) where the sulphate of silver Is
precipitated by a solution of sulphate of calcium.
About uue part of lime to two of sulphur I used
In making the latter solution. The clear liquor
lu thu precipitating tanks 1 now run oil nnd
pumped into the reservoirs or tank from which
it originally came to be used ngaln. The pre
climated sliver is taxen and placed In canvass
drains, and washed with water to remove the bv
posulphatu of lime. It Is then pressed aud dried
in a furnace freverbcriitory) the sulphur being
tlUengaged by the heat, from the lurnace the
surer Is placed lu crucibles with proper fluxes.
Some suppose this process to be not applicable
to refractory ores; yet 62 nud l:i per cent, silver
are obtained from ore which has considerable pi
leua, zinc blende, some antimony, arsenic. Iron
pyrites, etc About one day Is necessary In this
process. The number of boxes or tanks used
should bo regulated by the capacity of the mill.
The cheapness of tho method lf notable; merely
lumber for the boxes; some lime and sulphur;
no expense In pans; entirely avoiding the mon
rtrous expense of quicksilver. This subject is
well worthy the attention of milt men and miners,
as It grcoly reduce thu cost of benctlclatliig sll.
vtr or-j.
The foregoing is from the Santa Fo New
Mexican. All wo care to add is that Mr.
Hitchcock, of Big Bug, in this county, long
ngo witnessed the tiial of this proces upon
some ot ma ores, uy-.nr. rv Intel ol San Krr.-
cip-o, when it 'worked like a charm." .
