ASTRAL SCIENCE.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—Having observed in " Zadkiel's Almanac
for 1868" that persons are recommended to petition
Parliament for an alteration iu the laws which
prohibit the practice of astral science in Britain,
and having observed in the Queen's Speech that
some legal changes arc to be made during the next
session, I am desirous to know whether the desired
change is likely to be made or not. Reference to
my " Plea for Urania," and later still, my " As-
trology in a Nutshell" and " Curiosities of Occult
Literature" will show that my affairs have been, and
are, seriously deranged by my past con-
nexion with the subject, and I think, as a
matter of common justice, I am entitled to
know from some competent person what course
is to be taken. During last session I forwarded to
the House of Commons a petition for inquiry
through Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., consisting of 100
clauses, asking for an instalment of justice, and an
examination of Commander Morrison, R.N., editor
of " Zadkiel's Almanac," who calculated my na-
Sir, yours obediently,
tivity in 18-19.---I am,

THE LINCOLN GOLD MANES, CALICO ORES

We extract the following from the Atla, Cali-
fornia, of October 10th, 1867 :—We had an idea
that the curious calico ores worked at the Lincoln
Mines, and at Quail Hill, are something new under
the sun, an addition to the many singularities
nowhere found but in California. We find,
however, that there is just such a formation, and
just such calico ores in South America. This may
be important to us, as leading to some better esti-
mation of the practical value of what we have.
The calico ore mines of Chili being in every respect
similar to those we recently described as being
worked in California. They have been worked by
the family of Don Emanuel Portally for a century.
They are located seventy-eight miles south of
Santiago, Chili, and thirty miles east of Roucuaga,
Provice of Santiago, western slope of Cordilleras.
The mine is called Leona, and similar to the
Lincoln mines and that at Quail Hill. The
vein matter at the Leona mine is several hundred
feet wide. It has been long exhausted
above the water level, and the present workings are
to a great depth below ; there is much less water
than in any other mines of equal depth ; the prin-
cipal production is silver. Silver is also a portion
of the product at Quail Hill and at Lincoln. At
the lowest depth worked in the Chili mine the ore
has not changed its character; the sulphurets below
are decomposed, as they are above the water-level.
Should this be the case in our California calico ore
belt it will be a great addition to its value ; the
Leona ores, like our own, are of low grade, but they
mine cheaply. The yield in their rude arrastres has
averaged over $8 to the ton ; the quality is without
limit, and the mine has proved a source of perma-
nent wealth. The deposit at the Leona mine has
an extent of two miles. We are not advised
respecting other deposits on the extension of that
mineral belt, but in Calaveras and Placer bounties
the same calico ores have been found at several
points; and, while many places may prove barren,
there is every encouragement for prospectors to
search along the whole eighty miles between the
extreme points at which it has been well proved to
be workable—viz., at Harpendirig Lincoln Gold
Mines in Placer, and at Quail Hill in Calveras.
At this latter place the mill, now about to make its
regular clean up, will soon give us exact figures as
to the actu.il profit of working calico ores by the
present process,
which, we may be assured, will be
greatly improved by future experience,
