Chicago Dispatches.


CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The executive committee
of the Chicago relief aid society publish an
official financial statement of the amount actu-
ally received up to November I. The actual
subscription is S2,O50,0OO, out of about three
million five hundred thousand dollars sub
scribed. This includes 5000 900 in the hands of
the New York chamber of commerce and $780,
600 in Boston not yet placed TO the credit of the
fund. The society is now aiding about sixty
thousand persons. The most pressing need for
which the committee has to provide is shelter
for houseleSs thousands for the coming winter.
The committee is aiding in erecting on
former sites or on leased ground in order that
sufferers may be able to remain during the win
ter, and next summer be present for the work
of rebuilding. Four thousand and three houses,
sheltering about 10000, have already been built,
and Others will be erected. The number alto
gcther sheltered will be $4,000. The cost of
these temporary buildings, with some necessary
furniture, will be about 81 200 900, leaving g.
100000 to meet the demands for food, clothing,
fuel and general expenses from the 18th OF Oct
until the completion of the work, which cannot
possibly end with the present winter.

Tin in Utah.


Much importance has been attached to the re-
ported discoveries OF Tin in Utah. and it is prob
able that the real condition of things has been
considerably exaggerated. A specimen of the
ore sent to the land office for analysis proved
tOcontain no tin at all. A correspondent OF the
Omaha Tribune, writing from Ogden, in Utah.
gives what is doubtless the true state of the tin
discoveries. He says:-There is considerable
excitement here about tin; but have paid little
attention TO il, because il is little more than eX
element. The ore is not strictly tin ore, but
is "coumbte-a chemical compound OF Mo-
bium dean, manganese, copper, lead and tin
The amount of tin is very small, probably in no
instance exceeding seYen.tentls of one per
cent. COlumbitc has been rare mineral hithCr-
to, but exists here in great quantities. never
knew Of it being of any practical value in the
arts; and the tin is too small in quantity TO pay
for its own reduction. And even if found rich
or in tin, it is very unlikely that any practical
and economical process of extraction could be
devised, because of its unfortunate combination
as columbite. There is another variety Of min
eral containing Tin, which | imagine to be "chro-
mic cSu" in a very impure state; in this
the tin is found in about the same
quantity as in the columbite. My opinion
is that in this combination the ore would be
found so highly refractory that no practical
smelling process could work it, and the COnstit-
uents being ns llublein all acids it could not be
worked in the "wet way" either This is my
and of its future. OF course, do not pretend
