We were yesterday shown, says Sun
days Virginia Enterprise, some very
promising looking quartz, containing
considerable beautiful black Sulphuret
ore. which came from the shaft of the
Florida mine. The shaft passed through
six feet of broken quartz before enter
ing this formation, Ii lies soIne forty
feet below the surface of the vein, or
where the shaft in passing down cut
the east wall of the iedle. The de
post runs thirteen degrees from the
true meridian and has a dip of forty
degrees to the east. The appearance
of the formation is identical with that
found on the 1050-foot level of the Bal
timore and American Flat mines, and
is certainly a very favorable indication
of good ore further down. 1t lies SOS
feet below the surface.

ONE hundred years ago there were
only 81 newspapers published in the
United States. Now the number of
periodicals published and on exhibit
ton at the Centennial is S,l29. In l776
there was only one publication to ST.
Os1 inhabitants; in 1876, there is one

three free schools in the country; in
1876 there are 10000. In l776 railroads
were not dreamed of; in 1876 the rails
in use will suffice to build an iron
