travel to hh Estimation. He is reticent
and altogether uncommunicative Oh the
subject of the cargo which he brings
from that frlgidzone. But it seems that
enough is ascertained to signify that
his vessel is laden with mica and graph
ite.
Mica is well known as being used for
lanterns and stove doors. 1t is scarce
material, being found of good quality in
but few mines OF the world. The mica
mines are only found in high northern
latitudes; the principle ones in Siberia,
Norway, and Sweden. 1t is worth SIC
| per pound. 1t is said that some of the
sheets obtained by this expedition are
from Is to 90 inches square, and in
blocks weighing SO pounds. In three
weeks fifteen tons were excaKated
worth probably 5$200,00O.
The graphite is the carburet OF iron
used for making lead pencils, aad is even
more scarce and valuable than the mica.
England, and also Ceylon, once had de-
posits of graphite of great value; but
they have became exhausted. Much
that is obtained in this country is of an
inferior quality, and no mines OF any
great extent are now known, unless
this discovery in the Arctic regions
shall be found such as to supply this
need to the commercial world.

world so far as exhibited. 1t is the
skull of some colossal animal still un-
classified and unknown elsewhere. Por-
tlOnS of this wonder are in the posses
sion OF Judge Belknap, of this city. and
portions belong 10 the Hon. j. ID. Minor,
| Secretary of State. These wonders are
but few of the many which we have
right at home here.
The fact that after passing through the
ledge of sandstone a deposit OF black,
Shiny mud and qucksand is reached,
aids in building up theory of probably
truthful proportions. The supposition
is that these animals frequented the Sec
tion where their remains are found away
back in the Miocene period. The land
was then marshy, and in the water and
mud and sands which abounded these
monsters, which were either saurians or
mammals, and perhaps there were some
OF both, lived and disported themselves.
This is doubtless the period of which
the churches sang a hundred years ago,
as follows:
eye whales and monsters Of the deep,
Your Makers praises spout;
Forth from the sands We od-heads peep,
And Wag your tails about"
