Sale of 100000 Tons of Mexican Ore
and Stag.

There are several gentlemen in St. Louis
at present who are inte rested in the mines
of Mexico, principally those of chihuahua.
Mr.. B. F. Fly, of that State, has sold to
Knott's Mexican Silver Mining company all
the vast quantity of low grade ores and
slags that have accumulated around the
mine at Parral in the State of chihuahua.
The quantity disposed of is 1900, 600 tons;
that has ever been recorded. Most of this
ore has laid exposed to the weather for
long time. Much Of it for more than one
hundred years. The value of all those por-
tions of ore that were sulphureted, has, in
the dry climate of Northern Mexico, become
very much enhanced in value on account of
the perfect oxidation that time and exposure
have effected. These parties are in st.
Louis for the purpose of getting an outfit
for mill and furnace, which G. B. Allen &
Co. have under contract. 1t has been pain
fully apparent that St. Louis was being
passed around by those in request of min
ing and smelling appliances. We hope
that this condition of affairs has terminated.
Notwithstanding the desperate efforts of
San Francisco, Chicago New York and
other points, orders from the Great Mining
Regions west and south of us, are coming
in unsolicited, for that is notedly the fact,
St. Louis will attain as enviabIe q repnta-
ton for perfect and satisfactory outfits for
the mines and furnaces as she has had for
over forty years for excellent steamboat en-
gines and boilers.
There is no change in any line of trade
connected with the products OF the mines
or furnaces that will justify any comments
or specu1ations.- Mines, Metals {. Arts.

How They Drop Shot.

A reporter of the Baltimore American
thus describes one of the many processes of
making shot in one of the shot-towers of
that city One of the "secrets'' of the man.
ufacture is the mixing of the lead, with q
certain proportion Of mineral substances
called temper The temper is fused
with the lead, and gives the molten metal
that consistency which makes it drop
and without which the lead would be
nodded by the sieve, and would form little
pencils instead Of round shot. When
"BB" shot, for instance, are to be made,
the lead is poured into pan perforated
with holes corresponding to that size.
The little pellets come pouring down in
continuous shower, and fall into a tank
filled with water on the ground floor. In
their descent Of two hundred feet they
become perfect spheres, firm and dense,
and they are tolerable cool when they strike
the water, although the swift concussion
makes the tank foam and bubble as if the
water was boiling furiously. The shot
must fall in the water, for if they should
strike any firm substance they would be
fattened and knocked out of shape. To
get the little pellets perfectly dry after they
have been in the well, ?" is the most diff
cult and troublesome process Of the whole
manufacture. An elevator with small
buckets (very much like those used in
flour mills) carries the shot up as fast as
they reach the bottom of the well. and de-
posits them in box 60 feet above the first
floor. The water drips from the buckets as
they 60 up, and not much is poured into
the receiver above, although it is intended
to be sort of dripping machine, From
this receiver the shct runs down spout
into a drying pan, which greatly resembles
gigantic shoe, made of sheet iron.
The pan rests at an angle which permits
the wet shot roll slowly down to the cham
Der below, and the pellets become perfectly
dry as they pass over the warm sheet
iron.

The cedars of Lebanon.


The cedars of Lebanon, once the glory of
the earth, have become like the history of
the past. Time was when their widespread
branches, each forming a green plateau,
one above another, hourished in all their
luxuriance and beauty ON the far-famed
mountain of Lebanon. That was the time
when the monarch of Tyre--a city then
queen of nations sent thousands of his
workmen to fell cedars for the construction
OF the temple of Jerusalem. Those who
would view the cedars of Lebanon now
must be somewhat affected by the fewness
of their number. and their decay and desc
lation. "A little remnant is left, and the
traveller gazes upon them with feeling
that has in it touch of sadness. All
through the middle ages visit to the ce-
dars of Lebanon was regarded by many
persons in the light of a pilgrimage. Some
OF the trees were thought to have been
planted by King Solomon himself, and were
looked upon as sacred relics. Indeed, the
visitors took away so many pieces of wood
from the bark, of which to make crosses
and other articles, that it was feared the
trees would be destroyed. The once mag
nificent grove is but speck on the noun
tain side. Many persons have taken it in
the distance to be a wood of fir trees; but
on approaching nearer and taking a clear
view, the trees resume somewhat of
their ancient majesty. The space they
cover is not more than half a mile; but once
amidst them, the beautiful fan-like branches
overhead, the exquisite green of the young
er trees and the colossal size of the older
ones, fill the mind with interest and admi-
ration. The trees are fast disappearing
from the face of the earth. Each succeed
ing traveller finds them lower in number
than his predecessor. There are now but
seven of the cedars remaining, which from
their age and experience, indicate they had
an existence in Bible days.-Day Of Days.

The Summers Death.
Hotly the glare of the August
Burnt to the heart of the city

Wither in sorrowful pity
Pity for days now departed,
Days that shall have no returning:
Wept by the sorrowful hearted.
Mourned tor and l0nged tor with yearning.

Sweet as the heart of a maiden
Bringing the song bird and hummer
Bee with his sweets overladen;
Now thou art passing and dying,
Passing away in thy glory;
Fading and sinking and signing
This is the end of life's story.
Soon shall thy hours of transition
Seem but a thing to remember
Seem but the glance of vision
Seen through the light of September.
Gone are the days of thy gladness.
Hearts that have loved thee are siglling;

LINES WRITTEN ON REcRossEG THE ROCKY MoU
TAIEs IN WINTER AFTER MANY YEARS
Long years ago wandered here,
In the midsummer of the year
Lifes summer, too;
score of horsemen here we rode.
The mountain world it's glories showed.
All fair to view.
These scenes in glowing colors drest.
Mirrored the life within my breast,
It's world of hope;
The whispering wood and fragrant breeze
That stirred the grass in verdant seas
On billowy slope
And glistening cray in sunt sky,
Mid snowy clouds piled mountains high
Were joys to me:
My path was DER the prairie wide.
Or here on grander mountain side,
To choose, all free.
The rose that waved in morning air,
And spread its dewy fragrance there,
In careless bloom,
Gave to my heart its ruddieet hue,
Der my glad life its color threw
And sweet perfume.
Now changed the scene and changed the eyes
That here once looked on glowing skies,
Where summer smiled;
These riven trees and wind swept plain
Now show the winters dread domain
It's fury wild.
The rocks rise black from storm-packed snow.
AL checked the rivers pleasant flow,
Vanished the bloom;
These dreary wastes of frozen plain
Reflect my bosom's life again,
Now lonesome gloom.
The buoyant hopes and busy life
Have ended all in hateful strife
And thwarted aim;
The worlds rude contact killed the rose:
No more its radiant color shows
False roads to fame
backward. amid the twilight glow
Some lingering spots yet brightly show
On hard roads won.
Where still some grand peaks mark the way
Touched by the light of parting day
And memory's sun.
But here thick clouds the mountains hide
The dim horizon, bleak and wide
No pathway shows,
And rising gusts and darkening sky,
Tell of the night that cometh" nigh
The brief days close.

The Height of Niagara Falls Determined
by accurate Survey.

On Friday last a Niagara Falls Register
reporter interviewed the camp Of engineers
of the United States Lake Survey, at pres
ent located near Suspension Bridge, and
gathered the following particulars: The
survey party consists of five distinct corps,
each numbering about twenty men. Each
party takes a section of about ten miles
making a survey of coast line Of fifty miles
at one time. They have just completed the
survey of the whole shore Of Lake Ontario,
the topography of the shore and soundings
being clearly marked. The party at the
mouth of the Niagara River are just finish
ing the survey of the river from Lewiston
to Navy Island. The soundings at this
point have not been SO satisfactory as at
other points of the river. At the new Sus-
pension Bridge good results were obtained,
the lead under the bridge showing depth
of 1872 feet, while little below the depth
varied from 1852, to 165 feet. The heighth
of the American Falls is 158 feet-an accu-
rate measurement, as by the assistance of
a guide the lead was placed at the base of
the Falls near the g Shadow of the Rock"
1t win be observed that the above measure
ment of the American Falls is the same as
former surveys give as the depth of the
Horse Shoe or Canadian Falls, viz: $50
feet, while the previous measurement of
American Falls is stated at 164 feet in per-
pendicular height. The line of the Ameri-
can Falls, usually stated as 200 feet in length,
is SO ragged that it is difficult to obtain any.
exact measurement. The survey party in
tend to overcome this difficulty by the use
of mirrors, throwing a light from one side
to any desired point on the other shore 1t
is belived that the disputed question wheth-
er the line of the falls is extending up the
river win be settled, though doubts are en-
tertained whether the survey of 1879 can be
relied upon as acorrect basis Of calculation.
The resnlt win be watched with interest,
as will also the survey OF the Horse Shoe
Falls. The party commence 10 survey Lake

discovery of e20, 900 in gold. The nnfor-
tunate ship is known to have had e60, 900

recovered. The divers work under great
difficulties, for as the iron frame of the ship

The three greatest grain producing coun-
tries in the world are Russia, France and
the United States in the order named The
statistics of 1870 show that Russia produced
AGO, 900, 900 bushels of wheat; the United
States 286, 900, 900; France about the same.
Russia exported one-eighth of her grain;
the United States one-fourth. and France
none. The United States, however, grows
an enormous amount of corn, which the
others do not. It is likely, also, that Aus
tralia, will soon rival the two last named
countries, at least when her land is
more generally taken up and cultivated.

that she has 200, 900 tons of surplus wheat
$4,000 tons of which has already been en-
