OF quicksilver, and remember that its speci-
fic gravity is such that heavy piece of iron
so far from sinking in it, will hardly make
an impression upon its surface, it seems in
deed surprising that the subtle metal should
have stolen itself away from its prison of
vermllllon and dross, upon the wings of u
vapor. Surely the great laboratory of Ma
ture presents nothing which evidences more
Strikingly the skill and power of Natures
God.
This mine takes its name from that of
Almaden, sixteen miles north of Seville in
Spain, which is the finest that exists with
the exception of its namesake. There are
mines IN Carniola, Hungary, the Palatinate
and Peru, but the Seville mine has always
produced twice as much as the whole of
them.
Within the companys grounds, and by
the banks of purllng stream which sup
plies the place with the purest "mountain
dew is mineral spring which we doubt
not will prove Saratoga, in future years,
to those who seek restored health and emer-
gieS at its fount. The water is quite as
pleasant as any of the medicinal springs of
New York or Virginia. Its analysis gives
Carbonate of Soda, Chalybeate of ron and
slight trace of sui phur. 1t is beautifully
clear, light, sparkling, and eifervescing.
The Guadalupe mine is also in successful
and profitable operation and when all the
Improvements now in process in getting the
ore and extracting the metal shall be com
pleted, these two mines will furnish suffici-
ent quicksilver for the use of the whole
world, and be a never-failing source of
wealth to the proprietors and their descend
ants till the end of time
