GEETLExEN--Wew would inform you that We have
tested the specimen of Crystallized Iron. which
you left with rs for the purpose OF trying to drill
and would say that, after hardening our drills to
the utmost capacity for the purpose, we could moi
drill II. 1t is our opinion that il is mpervious ia

it is the hardest metal to drill or bore we ever
saw. Respectfully yours,

Messrs. HERRING b Co..
GRNTLEMEN-The crystallized metal which you
handed US TO test has been severely tried by dia,
mond pointed drills, and every other method
known to machnists in drilling the hardest kind oi
metal or tempered steel.
The drills were tempered by one of the most
experienced tool dressers in the city and VIC
found it impossible to make any impression. We
take great pleasure in giving you our experience
in attempting to drill your iron, and firmly believe
You have invented a metal that will successfully
defy the most experienced burglar. Yours. re.

WHAT 1T rs AND WHERE IF CONES FROM.

Crystallized Iron, or Franktnise," is the pro-
dtction of the mine of the New Jersey AlA: Corn
pany. There is but one mine Of .~s ore u uie
world. The zinc being frst~extrac. ed from we
ore the resIdse is the brilliant and SIM osr mesa,
which we have named Crystalliaea L, IroIL
For many years no use was made of this Ge.si, '
and it was simply kept in small specl. ~s.s ls
in gentiemen's cabinets as curiosity. HI
ever, has at last been found for it, and sine,
it has proved SO superior in this instance, many
other avenues for it's introduction now opening,
and it bids fair to PROVE not only one Of the most
remarkable, but one Of the best metals the world
has ever known. As preventive against drilling,
when combined with wrought iron and steel, it is
the best and most perfect protection against
burglar now known. Chilled iron, by late i'm.
broVements in hardening drills, can be easily
bored. Hardspsd steel is not only so brittle as to
be almost useless, but its temper can be drawn by
: H'-'- ~s... aud then it is at the mercy of the

which they did not do, that three more thcknesscs

SECURITY OF CROSS BARS.

[From the Wheeling (Ya.) Inteilgencer, Sept. II
I most daring attempt was made during Wednes-
day night and yesterday morning to rob the GO
vernment vault of the Custom House, which con-
tanned at the time one million two hundred and
ffty-thousand dollars. The vault ID built of
bricks, cement and iron. The walls Of the
Custom House form two sides of the vault which
stands in the corner of the room occupied by the
Collector Of Customs The vault is strongly con-
structed. The walls are about fourteen inches
thick and between every layer of bricks there
is also q layer of crossed and rvettd iron firmly
imbedded in the cement. The vault contained all
the money belonging to the Pay Department, as
Well as large sum to be dsbursed by Major Hill,
who ia acting as mastering officer here. The
burglars, though amply provided with tools, could
not open the heavy iron door of the vault, SO they
set to work with crowbar and cbsel TO dig hole
through the only exposed side. They succeeded
in digging out the bricks and making q large
aperture in the wall, but the iron still remained
and could not be removed. The portion Of the
money not contained in small iron safes but in
packages and bags, was located at q point some
four or five feet from the aperture in the vault
Not being able to get into the vault the burglars
mprovsed hook, witt. which they attempted to
drag the bags up to the aperture, but again. the
iron bars interfered. They could see and feel the
money, but could not get at it. The work accom-
plished by the rascals must have occupied several
hours, and il is thought that the early dawn must
have caught them in the state Of progress we have
and thus they were compelled TO
abandon their work without taking away single
red cent

that the material which 10 to resist drill must be
placed made. or form the centre lining Of the
burglar Proof Safe, being protected outside by
all applications Of heavy sledge, jack.screws,
strong clises or sharp pointed crowbars. Our
ordinary Burgh Proof Safe is made as follows

effect SbeGween them, and at the Same time the
slight separation renders the operation OF re-
yolyng cutter tan effective tool Tor cutting solid
platefl impossible, AS the points Of the cutters
would Nv, broken against the edges Of the bars.
In burghr-proof safes we do not conline our
selves % thickness OF metal, leaving that entirety
to the wishes OF our customer, to be governed by
the asaount to be secured the risk run or tho
price desired to pay, according to his Judgment
In constructing the Safe, the different plates or
bcdses Of metal are 70 arranged that no rivet,
boh or screw goes entirely through from outside a!, De
to inside. Consequently, in any attempt to drl or
force our the bolts from the outside, they are only
more strongly riveted, by being driven firmly
against the solid body next within.
The doors are secured by heavy round bolts, OF
polishe metal running entirely across the SAFE,
and fastening on all sides (front, back, top and
bOttopA) simultaneously; these bolts being in turn
fagtened by the lock, and not one can be moved
uvtil the lock is opened.
Thus il will be seen that HHerrine's Champion
burglar Proof Safe' combines all the best mate
rails for resisting the most perfect mechanical
tools now known. First: The wrought iron out
aside gives strength and malleabiity and is COM
plete protection against the sedge, the jack
screw, or heavy chisel. Second: The Patent Crys-
talized Iron win resist any drill Third: The cross

against any revolving tool which would cnt a
