THE THAMES SCOTTISH.
A crushing for the above claim (late the Wade) has been completed at the j Shamrock "battery, but the amalgam has not yet been retorted; the crushing was only a small one of seven and a half tons; yet 1 saw eighty-three ounces of hard amalgam as the:result. , A bystander informed'l me it hadtbeen squeezed in boiling water;. I had not heard of any late hospital case as to, scaldings," so took the information "cum grano salis." The amalgam cer.r tainly was very .hard, and evidencecL very: coarse gpjfd....- The lodes the crushing'stuff is taken frbm'are three in number, ail in the face of one working, and the. amount of stuff sent to the mill is carefully .taken k p,n|, and gives about a foot in thickness altogether. The owners have named the claim after the corps to which they belong, and from .what lean learn the,.,claim is likely to be a highly payable one. Since writing the above, I learn that the, amalgam has yielded 31 ounces retorted gpid.
