stretching to thu southwest. Soon two
dirty, choking riderri were made out,
whipping and spurring, running neck
and neck on horses tlu:t x-etiied ready to

Garretton Copper Ore Process.
The Gurretsou process for reducing
copjxtr ores has Injun affording thu press
uuother sensational story recently. It
is being tried at Ore Knob, X. C, mid is
to be tested on a larger scale and under
more favorable conditions at Sxikauu,
where thu Northwestern Smelting mid
Refining compuuy is constructing a re
duction plant of large capacity, at which
thu now proces will bu iried. Regard
ing the process, II. C. Bellinger, manager
of this enterprise mid of copper mines in
British Columbia, is quoted as saying:
"Thu success or thu failure of thu new
method has not yet been fully demon
strated. It is as yet in thuexieriineutiil
stage. There ix one misstatement which
has gone out concerning thu (iarrctsou
process that I wish you would correct.
It has been published that this new pro
cess would ierniit the profitable treat-

rot. Wo can't even mine one mir cent
ore, to say nothing of treating it after it
ix mined. Then, again, this process ix
limited to certain ores. Eighty percent
silica ores cannot Iks successfully treated.
A fuw months more mid wu will bu able
to say exactly what there ix in thu new
process. I believe that it will bu a suc
cess, but it does not do to jump at conclusions."-

World's Biggest Nuggets.
Fuw would suppose, for instance, that
the world's record for the greatest pro
duction of gold nuggets, ax to size, value
and quantity, was held by North Caro
lina ; jet thu claim of thu Heed mine, in
CabariiH county in that state, for such u
record ix well substantiated. This mine

uight pounds, seventeen siunds, sixteen
pounds, thirteen mid a quarter pounds
nine mid a half pounds, two of nine
pounds each, two of eight pounds each,
live pounds, three mid a half pounds,
two of two pounds each, mid one of one
and threu-quiirterx pound. The Beaver
Dam and Sum Christian mines, in Mont
gomery county of thu mine statu, were
also great nugget mines in their days.
California has pioduccd somu (anions
nuggets and a few have lieuu found in
Colorado. Contrary to general belief,
