SOUTH PARK, COLORADO TERRITORY,
- _
Feb. 16, 1866.--Messrs. Editors: The silence
of your correspondent for the past month is
attributable to his absence from any, place
where there is a post office, having been en
gaged in traveling through various sections
of the Territory, visiting parts where Uncle
Sam% mail bags are but seldom seen. The
mode of travel most in vogue here (horse
back) is such as to afford neither time nor
opportunity for writing. I have at this, my
earliest opportunity, again resumed the
thread of my narrative, and will in the
future try to have my communications
reach you with a greater degree of regu
larity.
In my last letter I described Messrs.Behr
& Keith's process for the extraction of
gold from metallic sulphurets, and gave
some few instances of the, necessity of de
sulphurizing these sulphurets in order to
obtain a reasonable proportion of the pre
cious metals which they contain. That a
thoroug desnlphurization is necessary for
profitably working Colorado ore, there no
longer remains any doubt, the fact that
-without it but a fraction (about one-tenth)
of the gold contained in the ore is obtained
all well-known to all who are
iliar with the results obtained
from crude ore, treated under stamps, con
trasted with the large percentage obtained
by the same stamps from '.blossom rock,"
Vlach is simple ore that has been desul
phurized by nature through the agencies of
moisture and the heat of the sun. Since
the establishment of Messrs. Behr &Keith's
works, others becoming convinced of the
value of desulphurization as a preliminary
step in the treatment of gColorado ore,
introduced other processes for this
object, several of which have, to a greater
or less extent, been tried and experimented
upon during the winter. The severe cold of
the past few months, however, has, by stop
ping the supply of water, materially de
layed such of themes are dependent on it as
necessary to the successful working of other
plans.
The process, next in order, is that of Mr.
Lyon, the more deserving of notice from the
'fact int since the first stroke was struck in
the erection of his mill not a day has been
lost, but operations have been steadily car
ried on, down to the present time, when the
process is in successful operation and the
gold being extracted from our refractory
ores at a rapid rate, sufficient to astonish
even those who are well aware how very
rich our ores are. The process of Mr. Lyon
differs from the others heretofore described,
in the fact that he uses lead, instead of mer
cnry, as the medium by which to extract the
gold from the prepared ore. His process
may be described as an assay on an immense
scale, and thereby securing the consequent
thorough extraction of the bullion from its
ores. The lead necessary for the working of
his process is obtained from galena, abun
dantly found in the vicinity of Black Hawk,
at which place his works are located, the
lead resulting from the smelting of the
galena is cupelled, and whatever silver and
gold it may contain thus saved. The
litharge or oxidized lead is reserved for use
in the smelting furnace, and is the main in
gredient in the process. Mr. Lyon, after
crushing, "buddies" his ores, whichlopera
tion consists in separating, by means of
water, the sulphurets from the gangue or
wall rock, thus obtaining his ores in a clean
condition and free from quartz or earthy
impurities. From the buddle, the clean and
therefore concentrated ore, passes to the de
vulphurizer, which is a simple reverberatory
furnace, the intense heat of which soon
drives . off the contained sulphur, leaving
the ore in a condition, whereby the lead has
opportunity to at once combine with the
1 T
The desulphurized ore is then mixed with
the litharge in proportions ranging as to the
aMount of bullion it may contain; this mix
ture is then placed in the smelting furnace,
fife action of the heat first fuses the litharge,
converting the charge into a pasty mass, the
catbonacious gases of combustion next re
duce it into metallic lead, which finds its
way to the bottom of the furnace, carrying
down with it the gold and silver; the re
sulting lead is from time to time withdrawn
as it accumulates, the last "charge" carry-
ing off the slag, which, floating on the
molten lead is reapily removed. This lead,
more or less charged with precious metals,
is then cupelled, the gold and silver remain
ing, while the litharge is blown off, and
saved for use again. According to theory
this process is the best, being, in fact, as I
have before stated, an immense assay, and,
therefore, certain to extract - all the precious
metals the ore may coptain; in practice, it
has vftlrked well, and saves the gold to -
within two per cent. of the assay value. The
furnaces are of a capacity to heat four tons
of the mixture of litharge and ore, which
charges requires about five hours to reduce,
thus about twenty tons per day are heated.
The works of Mr. Lyon are probably the
largest now in operation in the territory,
and are certainly the ones that are paving
the largest profits. They were built under
many disadvantages, and a great expense,
and stand to-day a monument to the energy
And perseverance of their builder, who,
notwithstanding the many discouragements
he received, labored on until the end was
reached, and is now reaping golden returns,
most certainly deserved. Mr. Lyon was
obliged to make.his own fire, brick, the first
'of which failed to withstand the intense
heat, rendering it necessary, at a great cost,
to entirely rebuild the smelting furnaces.
Nothing daunted by this failure, Mr. Lyon
again began their erection, made other fire
brick which have proved equal to the best
made East, and which have for several
months withstood the intense heat which is
necessary for a thorough reduction of the
ore. The process has now been in success
ful operation for several months, during
which time over $40,000 (coin valuation) has
been extracted. The last result was a but
ton weighing one hundred and fifty-six (156)
pounds valued at $12,000 in coin. This
buttonis now on exhibition in Denvir, at
tracting crowds of curious spectators; it will
soon be sent East, and your readers may
have an opportunity of beholding it. It will
be followed by a still larger one, which
will prove better than words, the immense
wealth Colorado is capable of pouringinto the
lap of our nation. One result of the success
of this process has been the introduction
of the system of mill owners buying their
ores, similar to the manner in which such
matters are arranged in Great Britain. The
tire raised in the copper and other mines of
that country are sold to the proprietors of
the smelting works, who are not directly
interested in the mining of the same. Mr.
Lyon is now buying galena, as well as other
ore, thus introducing this system into Colo
rado. That this is the true way of procuring
ore there can be little doubt. Of its success,
' we have but to look at the immense smelt
ing works in Swansea, Wales, and in other
- plarts of the 'United Kingdom. Division of
labor must necessarily produce greater
profits to all concerned than if one party or
one firm were to both mine the ore, and
treat it after it was raised. When well es
- tablished and. generally carried out, this
4 system will do much towards a more rapid
evelopment of our mines, as it will enable
dkwhohave "lestels," to workthe sameand
,pelt the ore to advantage, without the ex
-. , LP penge of mo u n costly works for its reduc
4.'tion.; Those who are prepared to treat
'ore, and who have mills, will be enabled to
do so without being compelled to purchase
-"lode" property.
The great want of Colorado hasheen and
' yet is, capital to work her mines, the holders
of the Wes are chiefly poor men who can
' Stet afford to open their mines extensively,
A number of smelting or other works to
treat ores to advantage and profit, would,
by giving them a market for their ores as
fast as raised, enable hundreds who Own
property of undoubted richness and value,
to proceed and develop their property, en
riching themselves and the country at large.
As the matter now stands,they are unable
To raise a single cord of ore, and are com
pelled to see their golden treasure remain
undisturbed, for want of the necessary funds
wherewith to remove them.
The process of Messrs. Crosby dt Thomp
ton, now being introduced, next demands
attention, the peculiarity of whose desul
phurizer (for all the new processes are but
various modes to effect desulphurization),
is as follows: The crushed ore is introduced
into revolving cylinders, into which air is
drawn by a fan blower, the current of air
enters a tube, pierced with holes, which
passes through the centre of the reviving
chamber, the air passes through the small
holes, comes into contact with the heated
cze, and by the blower above mentioned is
drawn off, charged with sulphurous gases
and is allowed to escape, after passing
through the condensing chambers. Accord
ing to the theory of Mr. Thompson, the
inventor of the process, gold is volatile at a
amperature sufficiently great to desulphn
rize the metallic sulphurets, this condensing
chamber is, therefore, designed, by causing
the gases to pass through a spray of water,
to condense the vapor of gold which other
wise would have escaped. This process has
been but recently introduced, and no work
ing results have yet been attained, such as
would warrant a decided opinion about its
value. At present it can but be said that in
theory the process is a good one, and pro
mises well. Several mills,belonging to vari
our Eastern Companies, are being fitted up
with machinery according to this plan, and
a few months will decide as to its actual
merits.
There remains yet another process to, be
described before your readers will have be
come conversant with the principal mode by
which it is proposed to extract the gold from
our ores. It is that of Mr. Mason. Super
heated steam is the desulphurizing agent
which he proposes to use,the ore, in a crude
state and unbroken, is charged in a kiln;
after it becomes heated, steam is allowed to
pass in; on coming into contact with the
nested ore it is decomposed, the oxygen thus
liberated combines with the sulphur,and the
resulting compound, sulphurous acid,passes
off as a gas. The after treatment of the pre
pared ore in both this and in Messrs. Crosby
d Thompson's process is by amalgamation,
either on the simple shaking tables or. in
some of the more efficient pans. When your
correspondent visited Mr. Mason's mill tie
process was not working; a lawsuit, as to
he right to use steam in the manner he does
Ibr the purpose, hayinc , stopped all opera
tions, and I was able to 'r. see but the silent
and motionless machinery. From samples
of prepared ore shown me, it was evident
that the process has many merits; of its
actual Working results I am unable to speak.
Having finished a review of the more im
portant processes, the next letter will be
devoted to a general review of mining ope
rations in the territory, until which time
I remain yours,

man was found floating in the Delaware, at
Cooper's Point. It was at once taken in
charge by Coroner Roberts. Deceased had
evidently been in the water for several
weeks, and was dressed in a good suit of
steel-mixed fancy cassimere cloth, with
other clothing in proportion. His whiskers
were rather sandy, but his hair light. In
height he was five feet seven inches, and
was about thirty-five or forty years of age.
He was a German, and had nothing about
him exdept a silver-cased Swiss watch, and
a lot of photographs taken in Germany, and
some other cards, with different individuals

buildings were destroyed, and the loss of
property is between $40,000 and $50,000.
There is not a fire engine owned in the
place, but this disastrous conflagration
should serve as an incentive to the people
in at once procuring such a needful appa

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
In the year 1848, the writer embarked in the Drug
Business in the city of Philadelphia, and while thus
engaged, made several experiments in regard to the
effortsesirable made of preparing Fluid Extracts. My
being successitd—the articles being approved
and used by the Medical faculty —I was desirous of
placing them before the public, but hesitated for some
time before concluding to resort to newspaper adver
tising, knowing of the prejudices that existed in the
minds of many against using advertised Medicines; but
through the advice of Eriendwand those who had used
my preparations this °Wee' ion was overcome.
Commencing in a small way, after 18 years' exer
tions, the popularity of my articles has extended to all
parts of the United States and widely throughout fo
reign countries—and this in the face of much opposi
tion. Every means has been resorted to by unprinci
pled dealers since their merit and success have been
known—such as advertising larger bottles at less price,
censuring another preparations, and even copying my
advertisements—but I am happy to state that out of
the many who have resorted to this, none have been
successful.

I contend there is no business requiring these quali

with Druggists everywhere. I am also well aware that
persons reason in this manner that which may benefit
one may be of no advantage to another! How mis

A Blood Purifier for one is a Blood Purifier for ail.
' A Ditin , tic or one, a Diuretic far all.
A Narcotictor one, a Narcotic for all.
A Purgative for one, a Purgative for all.
Just as much so as wholesome food for one is whole
some food for all, with no more difference than that
some constitutions require more than others, and that
persons in disease are given to despondency—expect
ing in a few days or weeks, and perhaps with a single
battle of medicine, to be restored to health, if not to
youth and beauty. These persons - rarely recover,lack
lug patience. They give nothing a fair trial, consid
ering a sew dollars expended for the benefit of their
health a waste of money. The same individuals may

of three parts, YU.: 1 be Anterior, the Interior and the
Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or
veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and con
