deposits exist here. But how many
prospectors would know tin ore if they
should find it? Probably not one in a
hundred. And in view of this fact, and
the great Importance valuable tin mines
would be to the whole country as ma
tional source of wealth, by curtailing i'm
portations, the idea suggests itself to US
that the Government would do much
wiser thing than sending ships to the
North Pole to founder among the ice
bergs, and addle-brained bug-hunters
over the deserts as attendants on infatu-
ated entomologists, If it would cause a
few tons of native tin ore to be shipped |
from Cornwall to the mining districts, to |
be distributed as samples among our |
thousands OF prospectors. We believe |
the result would be the speedy discovery
of valuable tin mines, for we cannot
| doubt that tin deposits exist in nearly all
our great mountain chains.
SUSPICIOUS Some prospectors who
left here few weeks ago. and have just
returned, report having found, few
miles south Of Mount Wandell, (about
14O miles southeast Of Phoebe pair Of
gray blankets, and half-worn coat with
a memoranda book in the side-pocket
which contained the name of Thomas
Jennison, Erie, Pa" There was nothing
else in the book that would throw light
on the circumstances under which its
owner lost possession of it, but it was
thought singular that it should have been
voluntarily thrown away, when it had
been but very little used. The blankets,
apparently had been used but short
time. Nothing to indicate that white
man had ever before been in the vicinity
was seen or found except the blankets
and coat. They were found near o
spring, which was in secluded part of
the mountains, where not even o "blind
trail" could be found. Here is a mystery
that will probably never be cleared away.
How GREAT FIRES MIGHT BE CAUSED
The other day DR.. Nichols was engaged
in making blow-pipe assay, in his pri-
vate laboratory to the rear of his Office,
when bunch of matches, lying on a
table opposite window, and in line
with the direct rays of the sun, became
ignited The alcohol lamp the Doctor
was using was several feet from the table
on which the matchs were lying, SO there
can be no doubt they were set flaming
from the solar heat Combustibles were
near them, and had he been out Of the
, room at the time an extensive conhagra-
ton would probably have ensued. The
chemical matter was of light blue color.
Recording such incidents, as trifling as
they may appear, might save fortunes
, from being wrecked. Keep matches, and
!. everything of that kind, where it will be
impossible for them to do damage.
