Early Explorations in2Michigan.

A correspondent of the Saginaw Enter
prise, writing in regard to the discovery
of strange ring Of earthworks found
in the Township of Hersey, submits to
the public what he believes to be the
origin and history Of said wonderful
discoveries. These singular rings Of
earthworks, he says, are said to have
mounds in their vicinity, and If the
bones in these mounds are burned,
! i.e., charred, the present Indians know
nothing of it except by traditions
Indians ono hundred years old, that
have inhabited this country from child
hood, know nothing of the mound near
Tamarac Lake, wherein these ramains
were burned, except by tradition, and
they say they are the remains Of white
men, while the mounds mile to the
westward they are familiar with, and
claim as those of their own people.
There is something significant in this
The Indians also have tradition that
their great-gre,!t- grandslres were visit
ed by q strange body Of white men, and
had frequent battles with them. The
mound at Tamarac Lake has an oak
tree growing in its center about two
hundred years old, and the earth
thrown up is taken from a complete
circle round, showing that it was all
done at one time, while in the Indian
burying ground there is no such precise
regularity. The redoubt in township Is
north, of range west is less than 400
and more than 800 years old. This fact
can be determined by the consecutive
grains of timber standing upon the en-
bankment, and the now almost extinct
remains of three pine trees, that did
stand in the or in the way of digging,
which they avoided and passed around.
The pitch knots of those trees show
that one generation of time has passed
away, and the second is now in prime
and decay. The ring of earthworks in
Allegan County are said to be much
the same as this one IN Hersey, which
is of size corresponding with re-
doubt, to cover five or six hundred men,
it being about II perches in diameter,
and perfectly round. If the form was
of polygonical structure, it would an

constructed redoubt of the 18th century

I This ring OF earth Is seven feet high
from the bottom of the ditch to the
top of the embankment upon the outer
side, and three feet high upon the in
side, thirteen rods diameter, perfectly
round, less than four, and more than

did not construct it, who didl

Soto's travels that he passed through

Of earthworks agree with Almino's de-
scription of the last battle with the In
dams. AT what other possible point
between here and the coast of Florida
could they have found Indians calling
themselves the Great Miamis, except
in their own country9 At what place
would they have found dense cedar
swamps, except in this Peninsula

VICTORIA STONE. A new, artificial
stone, known rs Victoria stone, is now
being manufactured in England by a
process perfected by Mr.. Highton.
This consists in mixing broken granite,
the refuse of granite quarries, with by
draulic cement, and sleeping the mass
in silicate of soda. For this purpose
the masses to be silicitied are immersed
in tank of siicate of soda, in which
are placed pieces of peculiar silicious
stone obtained at Farnham, possessing
the property of having il SILICA in
such state as to dissolve III cold caus-
tic soda The lime of the concrete
mass takes SILICA from the silicate, and
the soda set free re-dissolves SILICA
from the Farnham stone. Hence the
process IS continuous.

4 Reasoning Cat.

The Pike County Qll.) Democrat
says:
"a short time since favorite cat
was left in the editors sitting-room,
after all the family had retired, and
was not heard of until twelve o'clock
at night, when it set up a most out
rageous caterwauling, arousing the
editor and family from a sound slumber
The noise was continued for several
minutes after he awoke, and a family
council was then and there held as to
what was the matter with the cat.
Twas n bitter cold night, and it was
decided if the cat could stand it we
could-for while, at least Just then
the cat came directly to our bedroom
door, and with renewed and terrific
power, sent forth her yowls, accom-
panied by scratching on the door
And whereupon our better half declar-
ed that she would arise and see what
the cat wanted. She did so, while we
stuck to our bed. Opening the door,
she found the stove door wide open, a
quantity of coal fallen out upon the zinc
beneath the stove, the stove pipe red
hot, and the chimney on fire. Imme-
diately on her coming out the cat be-
came quiet and had nothing more to
say. Proper measures were taken to
avert the danger OF the fire, which We
think, but for the cat alarm, would
have occurred. Gan a cat reasons We
say yes, and our boy Dams cat can out
reason any other cat in the State. y

the matter Of Volcano town, including eighty

latter issue has required the attendance Of

area claimed is one section and half, or 900
acres Of land. Within this area are located
the celebrated Amador Hay wards and other
mines Of established value, but the town To-
Gators have set of so much Of the area claim

the Amador mine, and the Keystone and
Spring Hill mining claims, are included in
the boundaries Of the proposed town site.
The case OF Lancha Plana, in which none but
placer mining claims are. "a we are inform

CALIFORNIA MINES IN LoNDoN.-An an
nouncement in the London Times that bu-
reau Of Mines for the Pacific coast had been
organized and put in working order in this
State, has rendered unmarketable most oft
mining stocks lately issued on the London
Exchange. We learn from one of our prom
inent State Senators, who is largely interest
ed 10 two Of the best working mines on this
coast that he has received letters from his
agent in London during the last ten days,
urging him to obtain without delay the in
dorsement of the Mining Bureau, without
which tho stock of the two mines in question
will not be taken by the English bankers
The amount of capital required is on hand
and will be paid within ten days following
the receipt of the Endorsement by the Mining
Bureau. The sum involved in the trade for
the two mines 10 not less than about 81 ,00O,-
600. We understand that the Mining Blu
reau will proceed Immediately with tho ex-
animation and complete investigation of these
mines according to the rules prescribed by
it's bylaws. What may be the result Of the
investigation We cannot anticipate, but we
have no doubt that conscientious report will
be made, which will give an idea of the bene-
fits which we have right to expect from the
standing of the Mining Bureau abroad. In
fact, such report must be made, il the Blu.
reau wishes to make reputation and do a
1.-THE of the good promised by lite orgsniza-
ton.
We have been from the beginning in favor
Of that organisation, and we have on many
occasions prophesied its success. The two
important cases which have been returned
from London for examination are only bnt
the vanguard Of a number of others which
will soon follow from there. We are glad to
state that the London Times is working in
unison with the Mining Bureau, and We are
now more than ever certain that the time of
wildcat mining is past. and that new era of
prosperity has been definitely opened by the
Mining Bureau for the development of the
legitimate mining resources of this coast
