GOLD-SAVING PROCESSES.
Mr Thureau's reports from California, the right of publishing which has, I understand, been purchased by the Argus, are valuable in showing how completely the gold-saving processes have been elaborated by experience. But I would' caution people against too eagerly engaging in hydraulic-power mining, out of the belief that the reports have taught' us' something new. There is more than one' claim in Victoria where the water to feed" the nozzles is brought for distances y'ary--ing from seven up to thirty miles, in order, ; to gain momentum, without any great results having been obtained. Hydraulic mining, like most other kinds of mining, is a business which requires a much more extended knowledge than it would appear .even the miners of Nevada can supply na with; but from what our missionary has already recorded, ifc is pretty clear they can teach us wrinkles in gold-saving.
