Since the discovery of America there has been brought into the commercial world about 10,000 millions of dollars worth of gold, and 10,500 mllllou dollars worth of silver, valuing tbo latter at the long time coinago ratio of 10 to 1. Perhaps tbo immensity of tbeso sums might be better realized by the genrality if thoy woro reduced to tons und carloads. Roughly speaking tbo gold would weigh over lO.OOOtons und the' Hiker 350,000 tons. It would require .'10,900 freight curs, each laden with teu tons, to tiuusport tho lot. If tbeso cars wero oach twenty-llvo foot long, thoy would extend 022,000 feet, or ueurly 180 miles, or twlco the distaence between the cities of San Francisco aud Sacramento, Cat. dacitic Coast Miner. New Process. A new process for tho reduction of ores iu which the ueo of bydrogou flguros largoly is reported to bavo been discovered by Dr. Ollvor B. Dawson, of Caldwoll, Now Jersey. His process consists iu the roasting of metallic ores in a retort containing hydrogen, thus preventing the forma tion of oxides or carbouates.
