LANCASTER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER "a Is45 NO ~

These rich veins, as above stated,
are OF limited number, and likewise
limited extent; although there is one
which has been traced more than three
miles and they are all probably mex
haustible in depth; at least, SO far as
they have been wrought they have
proved better the farther they have
been penetrated, and the history of all
similar veins in England and in Eu-
rope fully corroborates this opinion
somei of them having been wrought to
the depth of fifteen hundred feet with
out any appearance of being exhaust
ed. These are the only veins OF this
character yet discovered in this coun-
try. While the Leads in Missouri, and
the mining region of Gslena exist in
clay crevices or cavernous openings In
the rocks, filled with decomposed lime
rock or clay, mixed with masses of
mineral-in the rake veins, the miner
al lies in compact bodies, intermingled
when the mineral first makes its APP
pearance, in the vein with the spar and
Barytes which fill the veins above
The mineral first makes its appearance
at different depths from the surface,
according to the quantity of superin-
cumbent earth and rock.
There are three or four veins now
working successfully, with much bet
ter prospects than any in the United
States, probably better than any of the
celebrated Lake Superior mines. They
are, two of them, not far from twenty
feet in width, and although not yet
worked more than forty or fifty feet in
depth they are raising from single
shafts, without having opened galleries
or prepared for drifting, ten thousand
pounds of good mineral per day-as
high as five thousand have been raised
at single blast in one shaft. These
veins will undoubtedly be worked for
generations yet to come, as those of a
similar character in Europe.
These results and such veins were
probably never known in the world /;
even the celebrated Hudghleam vein
in the North of England, in which
have been made annual dividends OF
moro than nna hnndsed thousand
pounds sterling, is only seventeen feet
wide, but has been worked and is work
ed fifteen hundred feet in depth.
Knowing your limits require it, ]
have condensed as much as possible,
but believe it is correct.

(ID The newspaper press is not
sufficiently elevated in its tone. Its
editors do not appreciate The influence
their labors may have, for good or evil.
They allow themselves too often to be
carried away by political excitement
and too often lack independence. A
fearless, talented and energetic editor
may do more in bis sphere for the in
tcllectual elevation Of his readers, and
for the promotion of all their interests,
than any ether man. Of that species
Of editors who make their papers mere
lumber-rooms Of shocking accidents,
and namby-pamby love stories. whose
highest exercise Of intellect is to "pass

CAPTAIN Sturt (Lady Sales SON
in-laU) aOoacaded.-The Shah resides
in the Bala Hissar, and bis guns from
that fortress were constantly firing I;
the AfIghans in the city were doing
the same from six in the morning.
Capt. Sturt, hearing that Capt. John
sons (paymaster to the Shah's force)
house and treasury in the city were
attacked, as also Sir Alexander Burnes'
went to Gen. Elphinstone, who sent
him. with an important message, first
to Brig. Shelton, at Siah Sung, and
afterwards to the King, to concert with
him measures for the defence of that
fortress. Just as he entered the pre-.
cincts Of the palace he was stabbed in
three places, by young man, we'll
dressed, who escaped into building
close by, where he was protected by
the gates being shut. Fortunately for
my son-in-law, Capt. Lawrence had
been sent to the King by the Envoy,
and he kindly procured a palkee, and
sent Sturt home with strong guard of
fifty lancers, but they were obliged to
make a long detour by Siah Sung. In
the mean time Lawrence came to tell
me all that had passed, and 10 break
the bad news to my daughter, Mrs.
Sturt.
Lawrence military secretary TO the
Envoy had had a very narrow escape
himself. An afghan, grinding bis
teeth, and grinnig with rage and hatred
of the Feringhees, aimed blow at him
with a sword, which Lawrence par
ried and putting spurs to his horse he
escaped one of his slwars received
cut in the leg, which was revenged by
another horseman shooting the fellow.
II was Lawrence who came TO tell
me Of Sales wound he is always kind
and friendly, though he has now been
twice the herald of i'll news. II struck
me as probable that the suwar would

To Miners.

we mo IN kne new DIX lIiDuHb, tn6 iCi-
lowing account of the Lead Mines in the
southern part of Illinois. Near Shawneeiown
may be found the inexhaustible "Rske VEINS
IA term which the Cornish hnys nndarsla nd )
growing stronger the deeper they are worked.
cit is generally supposed that the
discovery of Mines in Southern Hi
nois is entirely new, whereas it was
really known as early as 1915, thir-
ty years ago that mineral existed in
that region, and the government, at
that time made a reservation of min
eral lands in what is denominated the
Shawneetown Land District, and ever
since that, various mining operations
of limited character have been car
ried on by individuals and companies,
from time to time. Such persons and
companies, however, possessed very
limited experience or skill in mining
or smelling, and were generally in
pursuit of Silver, regarding Lead as
scarcely worthy of their attention.
Such operations. or experiments, have
of course, invariably failed; and not
until the past season have there been
any operations by men of means, and
skill, and experience in mining. The
consequence of this has been the dis
covery and opening of extensive and
very rich veins of valuable lead ore,
and the successful establishment of fur
naces for smelling the ore.
These discoveries are not what are
usually termed Leads in the Galena
and Missouri Mining Districts, but
are veins, and what are usually denom-
mated by miners Rake Tein. Leads
are usually found either in clay or in
cavernous openings in the rock, and
are Of uncertain extent and Depth
Rake veins exist in the lime rock,
sometimes forcing themselves up thro'
the OVERLAPPING sand rock, und usually
lay in compact bodies between the
wall rock, composed of regularly
stratifed lime rock, and commonly
oyerlayed on the top of the vein filled
with heavy bodies of 'calcareous or
luor spars, or barytes- When the lead
is discovered in sinking upon the vein,
it is usually ;ntermingled with these
accompanying substances. They are
however, generally inexhaustible in
depth.
Now, in regard TO the mines in
Southern Illinois, they are confined to
a limited district, which is of a billy
character. The veins of mineral are
of a most distinct and marked oharac-
ter. They are generally indicated by
those heavy veins of calcareous aud
'lhuor spar, laying between the stratif.
ed wall rock, and running in straight
or nearly straight line. They are from
six inches to twenty feet wide, and run
north about thirty degrees east, and in
some instances the mineral is in sigh
where the veins cross the creeks.

Who that possesses the least refec-

aware that the disorganization of the
digestive powers is very prevalent

we have no doubt the Conservative

$4,000 in diamonds in her attire;
while ten and twenty thousand dol

common.
There were no less than seven hun

was valued at $4,000; but this tho

Gfoiolh ofLand IA Neto Orleans
Some curious testimony, showing the
amount of land which has been made
in New Orleans within a few years,
was given at trial in that city week
or two ago. A respectable witness
stated that he had personally observed
the landing of passengers and luggage
from boats on the river, on the spot
which is now the site of Banks's Ar
cade, within the last forty years. The
whole of the immense batturc which
now faces the river from Levee street,
has sprung up within that period ; and
no one knows how much further the
encroachmcnt is destined to 60 into the
Mississippi. Royal street, in the First
Municipality, was then the front street
next the river. The old Spanish Gus
tom House stood Immediately in the
rear Of the present one. Banks's Ar
cade is noe three or four squares from.
the river; and Royal street is six or
scven-at least one-third of a mile
from the Mississippi.
