Mining Matters i'm Ontomagon

The ontcnagon Miner, of late
issue, has these items: We under
stand that an effort will be made
the coming summer to further ex-
anime and work the vein explored
on the property Of the Penn mine
last year. The rock brought in
showed well in copper.
Arrangements are going forward
by which it is hoped that q new
company will be formed on the val.
liable property Of the Aztec Mining
Company. Should they fail, how
ever, it is the intention Of the pres.
ent owners to work the mine the
coming season.
At the fremont mine Capt. Buz-

is being extended is looking very
well, shoxying copper in good guam

Panic I'm Church.

While the funeral services Of
Rev. Father MacLin were in pro-
gress Monday morning at st. Johns
Catholic Church, at Trenton, N. j.,
a cracking noise created the i'm
preston that a gallery was giving
way, and there Immediately ensued
a fearful panic. In the ruse for an
exit women and children were
trampled beneath the crowd, which
became immovably wedged about
the doors for about ten minutes.
Meanwhile the women and children
were being pulled out by stalwart
men. Many presented shocking
sight. An excitement was created
in the street, ladders were raised to
the church windows and the people
thereby taken out. Many of the
clergy, of whom there were some
twenty in the church, jumped out
of the windows and went to the
front door and announced the safety
of the building, but without avail.
Soon, however, the fears subsidized
and the services were resumed.
The cracking noise had emanated
from kneeling on board.
The total number of persons IN,
jured by the panic is twenty. More
nave died, although three or four
are in a dangerous condition.

The Natural Bridge in Danger.

The Lynchburg (Va.) Ne9cs says:
The Southern Colegiaa of the 9TH
inst, gives an account of q singular
phenomenon which it states was
then going on at the Natural Bridge.
A gentleman while passing over the
bridge was startled by the appear
ance of volumes of deep black
smoke and jets of flame rolling out
from beneath the massive arch. He
could plainly detect the smell of
sulphur, and found, upon examina-
ton, that the ground was warm and
steaming for some distance around.
Great excitement prevails in the
neighborhood, as it was generally
thought that volcanic eruption
was about to take place. A state
ment of the case was laid before
Prof. Campbell, of the Geological
Department of Washington and
Lee University, who accounts for
the curious phenomenon in this
wise:
The bridge is composed of noun
tain limestone, with large assures
filed with grahamite, which, as is
well known, is kind Of bituminous
coal or asphaltum deposited in seams
in formations of this peculiar kind.
This grahamite was not, of course,
set on fire by any one such an act
would necessarily be impossible as
offending against the laws of Om-
nipotent construction. At some
distance above the high water mark,
but not near so high up as the
name Of the great Virginian, who
is sometimes termed the Gather of
his Country" / detected sulphurous
deposits and traces of metallic OK
ides. The action of sulphur on the
metallic oxides even in small guam
titles in the presence of water, will.
generate heat to a degree abund-
antly sufficient to ignite mass of
combustible q nature as the graha-
mite. The water, / take it, was
supplied by the thawing of the
snow and the unprecedented rise of
Cedar creek in the early part of the
week. Such / am inclined to con-
slider the cause of this great chem
ical action, and do not lean towards
attributing it to the subtle action
OF electricity. l have section of
the geological formation of the
bridge, which was carefully prepar-
ed a number of years since, as above
limited, access to which may be had
at any time by oil wishing to exam
inc into the causes themselves.
The CoNegion speaks Of the oc-
currence as o great national cShm-
ity, as the Great Natural Bridge.

We learn that now life Is being
instilled into the Toltec Mining
Company, and that In all probabili-
ty new organization and name
will be formed and work COM
menced. The mine at the time it
was worked, in an early day, pro-
duced considerable copper, and
from what we can learn is yet cap
able of being worked at profit, if
managed economically.
Considerable copper is showing
itself in the Caledonia mine in the
drift. They have come upon a
mass of copper, and have been COM
PEELED in order to have men work
to stope over and under it.
The Nonesuch mine has been Wis
tied the past week by Messrs. Corey,
Emerson, Mercer and Van Schaick,
who all express themselves much
pleased with the appearance of the
mine underground. They represent
the vein as being very uniform in
character and rich in copper. 1t is
the intention of the company to
erect their stamp mill as soon as
possible, and put everything in
shape for producing copper the
coming season.
From present indications it is the
intention of the National Mis.;.,,,r
Company to push work in the new
part of the mine with all the force
they can work to advantage. The
agent has been in the adjoining
counties examining the workings of
Burleigh steam drills with view
to deciding their adaptability for
use in the mine. He has now gone
on east to consult with the Board
of Directors in reference to the fu-
ture plan of working the mine.
Work is progressing favorably at
the Bohemian mine. Most of the
force are employed in taking up the
foot wall of the shafts and drifts
through the mine, which is found
to be very productive. The annual
meeting of the company viii soon
be held.
Work is progressing favorably at
the Flint Steel River mine. At the
present time no heavy masses are
in sight, but fair amount of bar
rel work and good stamp rock is
being produced. 1t is the inten-
ton of the company to put in all
the men they can get for the pres
ent so as to push the openings as
fast as possible. AS soon as the
snow goes off work will be COM
menced on the trestle work over
the river and the road from Calido-
mia, which, when completed, will
enable them to bring the rock from
the Caledonia in sufficient quantities
to keep the mill running.
