Wo had submitted to us for inspection today tho plans of an improved process for calcining smelting and vapourising the gold and silver ores from the quartz of the Hauraki gold-mining district. The patentees of this improved roverboratory furnace are Messrs Follows and Johnson, of Onohunga. They aro conlidont they will be able to treat the ores upon a cheap scale or at similar prices to that charged by tho smelting com panics at tho Sunny Cornor mines of Now South Wales, and it is arranged that each company's quartz may bo tested, and tho result given out separately. Messrs Follows and Johnson's furnnco is built horizontal, instead of perpendicular. Tho solo of tho hearth is circular, with a well at the bottom to receive the metal from tho ore, with a tap hole underneath for drawing off tho motal. Tho llamo from tho tiro grato pro coeds through tho horizontal chambor, so as to play upon the charge of ore so as to produce precisely similar results as in the inner or reducing flame of tho blowpipe In front of tho furnaco.and heated by tho flamo after reducing the ore, aro placed in tho ovons for calcining tho ores that may bo charged heavily with tho arsenical and iron pyrites or othor basor metals. The vapouie nrising from the heated ores of theso cham bers may bo collected or condensed in a long horizontal chimney, which, after a second sublimation, produces tho white fir Ktiio of commorco. Tho condonsing ci. luibors are fitted so that a continual ■N ay of cold water will play through vi.m for cooling and settling tho chlorides that otherwise would bo lost in tho flues and chimney stack. By tho current of water directed to a narrow stream at tho bottom tlioso are coliocted togothor into a pit, and again utilisod in the smelting furnace, or reduced by moans of salts or sulphurots of iron,
