Quicksilver The Market and lite Mines.
Mr.' R. W. Raymond writes from California
to the 4erican Journal of Mining:
"As from time to time quicksilver mines are
offered for sale in New York, and many persons
imagine that this branch of mining involves
large, prompt and sure profits, it will be worth
while for us, perhaps, to exhibit tue commer
cial aspeot of the question for the benefit of
the pnblio. Mr. liutterworth very courteously
" answered all our questions, and gave us every
' information concerning the operations of his
company. The facts we are about to give,
though partly derived from him, are not secret,
but well known to those familiar with the
business, and quite within the reach of any
inquirer. Otherwise, we are far too deeply
indebted to Mr. Butterworth and his pleasant
fnmilv eircla to reward their hosnitalitv with a
breach, of confidence.
I "The quicksilver trade of the world is an
armed truoe between boain and Caulornia
The mine of Old Almaden, in Bpain, supplies
the market of London, and a large part of
Furore, and ships its product as far West as
the city of Mexico. Until recently it also con
trolled the great Chinese market, but Mr.
Butterworth, shipping ten thousand flasks to
Ilong Kong, and selling at far below the cost,
forced the resbipuient to Spain of all the
Spauioh quicksilver; and the market has since
been in his bauds. The same tactics on the
rait of ttpain keep him from the London
market, and the two great produoers are thus
forced to divide the world between them
But the New Almaden Company is not the
only producer of quicksilver in California, and
is obliged for selt-preservaUon to accede to a
combination with the New Idria Company and
the lUdiugton; and it is this combination
which now controls the production of quick-
Silver, and will probably, for a long time to
come, prevent the successful establishment of
any rival enterprise.
' It must be borne in mini that the con
sumption of this metal is limited. A certain
amount for manufactures, a certain amount
for metallurgical purposes, and the diminish
ing quantity required for calomel, with what
the Chinese manufacture into vermilion, com
prise the principal demands, jnow tue quau

I considerable, is hardly affected by the pries of
I mercury. If it were a dollar a pound Instead
of sixty cents there would be no less con
sumed; if it were twenty-five cents the demaud
would scarcely increase. Ia fact, the cost of
quicksilver lost in amalgamation is (to waste
ful men like our mill-men) very trifling. Iu

ritories require altogether about 1200 tUsks,
or 'Jl.GOU pounds per month; Mexico

exceed 00,000 flasks, the production of which

lialf their capacity to furnish the a.iotted
1'4,0(0 flasks) and to bujr up the qulckallver
made by all other companies. There are a
number of smaller mines, like those of Oaada
Inpe, which we visited, abont eight miles from
New Almaden, and which produoe perhaps ft
hundred and fifty flanks monthly.
"All these mines are forced to sell to the
before-mentioned combination, which pays
them forty cents a pound, and sella to the
public, at sixty. This margin of profit may
feem excessive, but it must be remembered
that the returns from sales are extremely slow.
The metal is sent to distant agents, and must
be sold at retail before the money is received
by the producer. It takes perhaps two years
to woik off the whole of one annual crop.
With money al two per cent, a month, this
delay is no joke. The present oomblnation,
which includes the Iiarona (who were in a
rertain degree forced to go into it to save their
profits ou a large amount of quicksilver, which
they bad scattered through the Western Hemi
sphere at the expiration of their well-known
contract with Jfw Almaden), is able to com
mand foreign capital at comparatively low
rates; and hence can afford to wait for the slow
remuneration of the trade."

rnemies of Paraguay may be entitled to taunt
General Lopea with barbarism tor employ uitr
the desperate resources to which they drive
trm. Whatever may have been tbe causes
which originally Induced Paraguay to
draw the sword, there seems to be no
doubt that its adversaries are now determined
to tarry ou the war "to the bitter end." The
Kmperor of Brazil, in the speech by which he
orened tbe Geneial Assembly on the 9th of la-t
month, acciarea nis determination not to aesist
Irom hostilities till the honor of his empire be
'completely avenged.' Ilia Majesty had but
lately, as ho informed us, declined with thanks
the 'cracious tenner ot mediation' or tneuov
eminent of the United States, anxious for the
re-establishment of peace. Whatever may be
the disposition ot tue Kmperor nimselt, there
ie a laree and influential party in Brazil which
will hear of no other terms with Paraguay than
the expulsion ot Lopez, and the annihilation of
the inland republic, rsootner course than re
sistance is thus left to the Parauayaus; and we
cannot conceive now one mau at tue neaa ot
the Government could command such u limited
saeritiees both ot lite and roperty from women

upon the Paraguayan dictator, it is evident that
he is tiphting lor existence, and hitherto Dpht-
uie to food purpose. What the lortuue ol arms.
uud still more the fickleness of the allies of
Brazil, the Argentines and Uruguayans,
may produce, it is diflicult to foresee;
but what is quite sure is that, after the
most decisive defeat, nis enemies can
iu pose on him no worse terms than they are

A Jury Story from England.
An Fngltsh paper, alluding to a recent verdict
ot X960 against the London Tteimnlx in a
slander suit brought by ous Risk Allah, appre
hends that "the institution of trial by jury
would stiller a shock If the deliberations of
Etelith lurics were usually made public." "A
Quvinuae," in a Utter to the London star, tells
atlrange 6tory, which iu substance is a) fol
lows i
"Iu the first Dlace. if lam riahtlv informed,
the Jury, upon their retirement, were remarka
ble lor the manner in which they disagreed. A
majority ot them (probably agreeing with Mr.
Coteridge as to bis client's literary style and
taste) were for making jour comemrorary pay
heavily for its indulgence in 'tall writing,' aud
proposed to fix the damagf-s at 2600. Thero
v.ere. however, three who thousihtthe tnj irtea
sithtaiiied by the 'Oriental person' c
oul 1
be
amply cowpensated by a 5 note. They stoo l
out niuniit'ly tor sometime; but at lenpth, on
ihe siU'testion that the sum proposed by the
mnjerity should b reduced to 1000. two of
them yielded. The third, who was what Is
called in Irelsid 'a boot-eater.' i. e. a man
who will eo throurh a vast amount of pri
vation to caia bis eads. held firm. And some
fur'her time had been was'cd in vainly endea
voring to persuade the recalcitrant furymen
to spree to the sum settled on by tbe others
(who, it must be remembered, hat alreadypiven
up 1000 ot the amount orip'O'illy numed by
them), tbe foreman suggested that each jury-
mu should wrue down what he cona dereT the
proper amount ot danuBcs, that the s im should
be "divided by twelve, and the amount thus
arrived at should be awarded to the plaintiff.
this the 'boot-eater' airreed, and the quotient.
910, wa accepted, when one of the jury, re
marking that it was a 'rapped sum.' proposed to
nmke it 'in round numbers' 1000. This roused
the slumbering sneer of the oriplaal objector,
who declared thut unless the compromise were
held to he should so back to his orls4nal Idea of
5, tnd, perhaps, even less! 8othat eventually
the remit ol tha division was accepted as the
amount of damages awarded."
