EDITOR REGISTER In your local
columns OF the 18th inst. l notice an
article on ''boraX" referring to the
borax mines of Esmeralda county,
near Columbus, as the only ones IN
this State known to the writer. For
the information of those interested
in the subject l will state that IN
Churchill county, about twenty miles
east of Ragtown, + extensive de-
posts of borax and other salts, con-
sisting of many thousand acres OF
marsh lands lmpregnated with these
salines which form In layers and
detached masses on or near the sur
face. where it is gathered and hauled

raX works at Ragtown, commenced
several months ago and which he is
enlarging as fast us he Is able to do
so. and he will soon be enabled to
produce a ton per day of the boraX
of commerce.. He also intends to
put up works near the marshes to
separate the crude minerals from the

pense of freight on much worthless
matter taken from the marshes.
The mineral as taken from the
earth is a mixture of borax, soda,
magnesia and salt, with perhaps
some others but the borax alone Is
saved In the works at Ragtown.
With proper facilities all could be
saved and made a source OF profit,
but the present proprietor has not
sufficient capital to engage IN any
thing now than the manufacture OF
borax. These facts [ gathered III a
trip to Churchill county a few weeks
ago. l will also state that there are
borax works at Wadsworth, IL
Washoe county, the raw material be-
ing brought from Hot Springs III

or more east of Wadsworth, on the

The new Commissioner of the
Land Office has rendered a decision
overruling that made by his prede-
relative to patents for mill
privileges. Patents are ordered re-
fused unless the land adioins the To-

take fromthe Enterprise of Wednes-

important bearing on the construc-

Mr.. Attorney General Alderman
has been politely requested to take
a walk by the President, and on an
half hours reflection concluded to
accept the invitation. He has gone!
The venerable walls made sacred by
the reflection of the great lawyers
of a better period, will e him no
more. He goes back to the pine
woods of Upper Georgia, to rumln
ate amids their solitudes over the
vicissitudes of political life. From
obscurity he came, to obscurlty he
returns. to be seen or heard no more
by that appreciative public before
whom he has performed tricks to
shame high Heaven. His studies
hereafter will be confined to Vol
sev's Memoirs. The kuklux could
not save him. The law and the pro-
phets were against him. His rec
ord as a rebel officer was beyond the
healing touch of the Loyal League.
His ability as a lawyer was sneered
at by the Supreme Court Alto
gether the poor old Alderman goes
into retirement with scarcely afriend
to say a good word for him. Re

something about him before. He l:

Queen Elizabeth.

In Paul Heintzner's Travels" 1898, is the
following description 'She was said TO be fifty-
hve years old. Her face was rather long white
and somewhat wrinkled; her eyes small, black,
and gracious; her nose somewhat beent, her lips
compressed; her teeth black from eating too
much sugar.) She had earrings of pearls, red
hair (but artificial,) and wore a small crown.
Her breast was uncovered, las is the case with
all unmarried ladies in England and round her
neck was chain with precious gems Her
hands were graceful, her fingers long. She was
OF middle size, but stepped on majestically
She was gracious and kind in her address. The
dress she wore was of white silk, with pearls AS
large as beans. Her cloak was of black silk.
with silver lace, and long train was carried by
marchioness. She spoke English, French, and
Italian; but she knew also Greek and Latin, and
understood Spanish, Scotch and Dutch.
Wherever she turned her eyes people fell on their
knees. When she came to the door of the chapel
books were handed to her, and the people cried
out, God save the Queen Elizabeth where
upon the Queen answered, Il thanke you myn
good peuple.'
Among the spirited repartees and impromp-
tus of the Queen which have descended to our
time is her ingenious evasion Of a direct answer
to theological question respecting the sacra-
ment of the Lords supper. On being asked by
q Popish priest whether she allowed the real
presence, she replied:
.'Christ was the word that spake II;
He took the bread and brake Il;
And what the word did mako II mr.
That believe and take it.'n

Proud Autumn haunts her cloth OF gold,
