We will now turn our attention to the
charitable institutions in this city and
parish. 1t is with satisfaction we are
able to report greater number Of these
in much better condition than we an.
ticipated, though far from what could
be desired.
For the most part they are supplied
with the mere Decessaries Of life. Those
which depend for support exclusively
upon donations from the public are i'm
the main better provided than those
which expect, but do not receive, aid
from the State or city. With these gen
eral remarks, we shall trespass on your
Honor's attention TO our report in de-

In concluding our report we would
express 10 your Honor our sincere ap-
probation for the uniform courtesy ex-
tended TO Us during our term. Our
thanks are likewise due to the Attorney
General and District Attorney who have
at all times accorded us their valuable
counsel, and facilitated us in the dis
charge Of our duties. We are under OBJ
legations to the Clerk OF this court and
his deputy, also to the Criminal Sher-

FROZEN AINES.-1he remarkable trO,
zen mines of Colorado are described by
Mr.. r. Weisner, of Georgetown in that
territory, in communication to Sill
mans Journal. One ofthem is the Ste
vens mine, at height of twelve thous-
and five hundred feet above the level of
the sea, in Clear Creek county. At s
depth of from sixty to two hundred feet
the lode or vein of silver ore, as well as
the surrounding rock was found to be
frozen. "There are no indications of
thaw summer Or winter; the whole fro
zen territory is surrounded by hard,
massive rock, and the lode itself is as
hard and solid as the rock. The mi
ners being unable to excavate the fro.
zen material by pick or drill, to get out
the ore, found the only way was 10 kin
die a large wood fire at night against
the back end of the tunnel, and thus
thaw the frozen material, and in the
morning take out the disintegrated ore.
This has been the mode of mining for
more than two years. The tunnel is ov-
er two hundred feet deep, and there is
no dimunition of the frost, it seems to
be rather increasing" The writer can
not account for the occurrence of this
frozen mass SO far underground, except
on the hypothesis that the frost pene-
trated to that depth during the glacial
epoch, and has remained there ever
since 1t could not have found it's way
thither from the outside while the re-
gion was subject TO any such climate as
now prevails there.
