Campbell of Lee University, on
bong apprised Of the facts, soon
supplied q moro satisfactory eXpla-

bridge, it seems, is composed Of
mountain limestone containing
large assures filled with grahamito,
a kind fbituminous coal orasphal
tum. AT some distance aboy high
water mark are suIphurous dcpos
its and metallic oxides in minute
quantities. The action of sulphur
on metallic oxides in the presence
Of water will generate heat to u de.
gree sufficient to ignite mass as
combustible as grahamite. The
thawing Of the snow in Cedar crcol;

such action as has been described,

to result in its complete destruc-
ion,--N. Y. Sun.

The Fourth Heat.

The San Francisco Cal has the fol-
lowing concerning the closing scene
of the great race in that city last Sat
urday
To accurately describe the scene
which followed Thad.'s victory, de-
flies word-nainting. 1t was undoubt-
edly the most eXtravagantlv joyous
crowd that ever thronged a race-track
on the Pacific coast. A swaying mass
filled the back-stretch, all e ger to
pat the winner or catch a glimpse OF
him : huzzas rem the air at every part
of the track, and hats were thrown
up with a recklessness that showed
the owners did not set much value on
head-coverings, so long as Thad. had
won the race. The enthusiasm was
IN full blast forabout ten minutes, and
then the crowd began to dispense and

A Mining Bureau and Government
Schools of Mining.

The people of Salt Lake are circu
lating a petition praying Congress tC
establish A Mining Bureau and Gov
eminent Schools of Mining" at con
venient points in the mineral produc'
ing States and Territories of the
Union. In view of the demonstrated
rOttenneSs of the national banking
system, the present is hailed a a very
OppOrtune occasion to press upon the
attention of Congress the necessity Of
fostering the mining interests of the
country. 1t is among the probable
that Congress will, at its next session,
seriously consider this subject. The
memorialists of Salt Lake set forth
their ideas of what the Government
should do in the premises as follows
list. The establishment and endow-
ment of a Mining Bureau, not only to
collect every kind of information of a
practical or scientific character, per-
tanning to the mining nd reduction
of the precious metals; but, also, in
addition, with the best experience of
the mining regions at its service, to
establish and maintain experimental
mills at the most promising new cen
tiers of ore production.
"2d. The establishment of Govern
ment Schools of Mining in connection
with the Mining Bureau.
These schools should be located at
points central to the greatest mining
interests. and where students would
necessarily become familiar with, and
workers in, the various departments
of mining. For the precious metals
the schools should be located at such
points as Salt Lake City. Denver. Eir-
Einia City, etc, and should embrace
the smelling and reducing mills, and
all the practical operations necessary
to success in reducing the ores pecu-
liar to each region. In these schools
the most successful practical ore
millers, and the most skillful chem
lists, could be brought together, and
each successful experiment he made
a step toward success. Such a
department, under the general direc-
ton OF an able and industrious head,
supplied with means to work with,
would be likely to develop with GER
tainty and rapidity the best means of
making the ores of each region prof
