tent to the task. Mr. Blake-who is
a mineralogist and geologist-has
done the work thoroughly and
whether we agree with his conclu-
sions or not, he has furnished us
with materials with which To study
the problems. Mr.. Blake's estimate
of the production of precious metals,

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT
wrote: s.There is nothing beautiful and
good that dies and is forgotten. An
infant, q pratling child, dying in its era
die, will live again in the better thoughts
of those who loved it-play its part,
though its body be burned to ashes, or
drowned in the deepest sea. There is
not an angel added to the hosts OF
heaven, but does its blessed work on
earth in those that loved it here. Dead!
Oh, if the good deeds Of human crea-
lures, could be traced 10 their source,
how beautiful would even death appear;
affection, would be seen to havo their
growth in dusty graves"
