where the yield was large. A considerable per
centage of the gold escaped the search of the
miners through the imperlections of their APP
paratus. Mining in the ancient fashion is still
carried on in some parts of the state, but by
hardly any Others than Cinnamon, who are con-
tent with smaller profits than will satisfy white
miners. But there is plenty of gold left yet in
the quartz veins and in the ancient or deep
placers which can be reached by sci
enti6c mining, although it requires a large
capital for machinery and preliminary opera
tons before the mine becomes productive,
These sources of the precious metal are for
practical purposes exhaustless. A French engi-
neer in report to his government estimates the
grounds suitable for hydraulic mining between
the forks of the American rivers alone, as ca
pable of yielding SIS, 900 annually for five
hundred years. The cost of explorations, min
ing and crushing, has of late been greatly re-
duced, and the appliances for saving the gold
are constantly improved Work has been be-
gun or many new veins, and many old ones
which a few years ago the most capable and
management could only have worked
at loss, can now be made to pay good profit.
One of the most remarkable operations of min
ng as now practiced is the hydraulic process,
by which powerful streams of water are turned
against a hillside, washing great masses of
'arth, choking up rivers with the debris, and
changing the topography of the
country

Thirty human skeletons have recently been
found in Hardwick by the workmen engaged in
excavating the road-bed of the Ware River rail-
road, BY visiting the spot, have had ocular
demonstration of the truth of tradition, cur
rent in my boyhood, but strangely unfamiliar
to the present generation.
Among the earliest white inhabitants of Hard
wick, was Mr.. William Thomas, the owner and
occupant Of the farm where the skeletons were
found, about three miles southeasterly of the
center of the town. He was one of the first Sc
lectmen elected after the incorporation of the
town, and the first school-teacher named on the
town records. He died May %, 1747, aged
probably about sixty; his wife Patience died
Ooctober p, 1746. More than half century
ago, received from my elders the tradition that
this Mr. Thomas and several members of his
family were buried on his own farm, and that
some of his neighbors were permitted to bury
their dead there. The precise spot of burial was
not pointed out to me, but l have no doubt it
was the same where so many bones have now
been found. The Thomas family left the farm
about hundred years ago, and were scattered
abroad; and all trace of the ancient graves was
obliterated by the pillow of strangers.
This was never public burial place, so that
no reference to it on the town records need be
expected. The proprietors of the township
voted, February 81, 1923, chat ten acres of
land be reserved near the center of said tract to
set a meeting house on, and for burial place,
and training field" But Mr.. Thomas occu-
pied a house on this farm previous to December
10, 1872, and very possibly some member of his
family deceased before the public ground was es-
tabished or prepared for use; if so, it was natural
that he should set apart portion of his own
land as private cemetery, and if there be sub
stantial truth in another tradition, which re-
ceived in 1888 from very intelligent lady, then
ninety-one years old, that, for several months
before the first Westinghouse was completed,
meetings for public worship were held near
(perhaps in) the house of Mr.. Thomas, it may
account for the desire of his neighbors to bury
their dead here rather than on their own
farms LRP,

How TO SEE Down A WELL-It is not gen.
orally known, says the Lancaster penn Intel
ligence, how easy matter it is to explore the
bottom of a well, cistern, or pond of water by
the use of common mirror When the sun is
shining brightly hold a mirror so that the re-
Elected rays of light will fall into the water. A
bright spot will be seen at the bottom, so light
as to show the smallest object plainly. By this
means we have examined the bottoms of wells
fifty feet deep, when half-full or more of water
The smallest straw or other objects can be per-
fectly seen from the surface In the same way
one can examine the bottom Of the ponds and
rivers, if the waters be somewhat clear and not
agltated by winds or rapid motion. If a well or
eistern be under cover, or shaded by building
so that the sunlight will not fall near the open
ing, it is only necessary to employ two mirrors,
using one to reflect the light to the opening, and
another to reflect it down into the water Light
may be thrown fifty or hundred yards to the
precise spot desirable, and then downward We
have used The mirror with success, to reflect
light around the house to shaded well, and
also to carry it from a south window through
two rooms and then into a cistern under the
north side of the house. Half a dozen reflec-
tons of light may be made. though each mirror
diminishes the brilliancy of the light. Let any
one not familiar with the method, try it, and
he will not only find it useful, but very pleas
ant experiment. 1t will perhaps reveal a mass
of sediment at the bottom of the well that has
been little thought of, but which may have been
a frightful source of disease by its decay in the
