Mica Mines

The extraordinary developments
In the silver mines in the northern
part of. the county has had the
effect of absorbing attention to the
exclusion of consideration for any
other mineral existing within our
borders, and in view of this very
natural state of affairs under the
circumstances, we scarcely hope
to excite any great degree of. in
terest in the subject of our mica
mines among oIr own people just
at this time. Nevertheless the
developments being made in the
mines of this mineral in the Ruby
range of mountains are proving
them to possess great value, and
I'M many places abroad a full
knowledge of the merits of these
mines would awaken quite as live
ly'an interest as any production of
the precious metals, and for the
information of those dealing in
this mineral, more especially, do
We at this time present the fol-
lowing, statement in relation to-
mica mines in this county,:
The discovery that mica existed
In large quantities in the Ruby
range was made some two or three
years ago, but that a good mer~
charitable article could be obtained
was not positively known until
quite extensive work was done
during thespresent season. A. j.
Shorey, OF Boston, through whom
work upon these mines has been
prosecuted, and is still carried on,
spent some time here last summer
and was So favorably impressed
with what he saw and heard re-
specting these mines that he re-
turned here, and having secured
a large interest, proceeded with
the work of development. The
result, we are pleased to announce.
has been fully equal to- his most
sanguine expectations, a splendid
merchantable quality Of the min
eral having been obtained. Sam
pies of the sheets, clear and trans
parent, that will square 6xs'inches
were brought from the mine now,
being, worked, and are ON public
exhibition. Neither is this quality
of sheets restricted to a small |
amount, but can be obtained in
large quantities. Some handsome
large lamp chimneys, beautifully
clear, made from. some of the
sheets of mica referred to, are now
in Use in town. In the same range
but several miles north of the
present workings, several similar
locations were made several years
ago. Mr.. Sharey informs us that
a process by whicha superior arti-
Gle of fire brick may be manufac--
tured from the refuse product of
these mines is about perfected
which, should it prove success,
would furnish a market for the
major portion of the mineral eX-
tracted, that has hetofore been |
worthless. The fact that mica is a
sustance ilnpervious to heat is
well known. and if a method by |
which this material can be formed
int, bricks is discovered this coun-
try would afford a superior mar
ket for them.

GOLDSMITH MAID AND RARUS AT
SAN JOSE

Following is the very interesting account of
the trotting match on Saturday at San Jose
between Goldsmith Maid and Rarus:
The race this afternoon between Goldsmith
Maid and Rarus attracted but very small
attendance. The day was bad, and there was
a strong north wind and some rain. The
track not in good condition, and every one
seemed uninterested The result took every
one by surprise, the Maid beating and in the
second heat making the fastest record on the
Pacific Coast by One-haf second accomplish
ing the mile in the face of the wind and rain
in 2:l6f At $50 the horses were called up
for the first heat. After some scoring they
got away well together, Rarus at the pole, the
Maid however rapidly pulling away from him.
At the stalking pole on the third quarter and
on the home stretch Rarus closed up, but the
Maid passed under the wire, the winner of the
heat by a length, in 2205. On the second
heat the horses came to the scratch at 3:45,
and got away fairly at clock, as before,
the Maid pulling quickly away and steadily
increasing the distance to the half mile, which
she reached i'll the wonderful time of :O7.
From the half, Rarus pulled up, and the
horses came down the home stretch at
lightning speed, Rarus steadily gaining, and
when the Maid passed under the string he
was only length behind. The time OF the
heat was 2:l6t. On the third heat the
horses got away well together at 49,, the
Maid again taking the lead, Rarus steadily
losing ground and when near the three
quarter pole breaking badly. When they
reached the home stretch it looked as if the
horse would be distanced, but Splann laid on
the whip and he flew as never before, closing
the gap, SO that when the Maid went under
the string he was three lengths behind The
time of the heat was 2:194. The exhibition,
though not as fine as a previous trial of speed
between the same horses III which neither
broke and no heat was won by more than a
neck, gave great satisfaction, and the
thousands who did not 60 now regret very
much not witnessing the race on account Of
the fast time. If the day and tracks had
been of the best it is thought that the Maid
would have beaten her own record.

The Elko soup spring Is very Interesting
natural curiosity 1t is fact as well estab-

fountain, on being lightly peppered and sailed,
taste almost exactly like chicken broth. The

true this is We do not know We can testify
to the taste. The Independent of Saturday
relates the following
While prowling about the Hot Springs Just
below town on Thursday last, Prof Frank
Stewart prompted by that spirit of inquiry,
i'll the interests of science which prevades
and permeats his entire mental organization,
tried an experiment at what is knows as the
'soup" spring. and made a discovery BY
applying flame close to the surface of the
hot water. it was Immediately found that
gas was being eliminated and constantly
arising, apparently from the surface of the
water. Upon coming i'll contact with the
flame, its condition was Immediately changed,
and arose from the entire water surface i'll
during the day, and no high, emanated from
it, it was thought that fact might be owing to
the stronger light of the sun, and experiment
was again made after dark, but with a similar
result. 1t is a singular phenomena, at all
events, and if investigations were pursued
might lead to a discovery Of great value. The
waters are known to possess important medi
cinal qualities

How AUSTIN Cor It's NAME.-Shall we
wonder that the psychologists find it difficult
to determine the exact minute in the after
noon when the great Rameses was born, or
how many hours in each day the workmen
who built the Egyptian Pyramids were COM
PEELED to toll? The snug and solvent small
city of Austin was founded within the mem
DRY of living men, and yet, as the following
allusion by the Keveille of Saturday informs
us, it is a matter of doubt whose name its own
perpetuates. Says that paper:
A dispatch from San Francisco to the
Reveille says that T. A. Austin, in whose
honorthe town of Austin, Nevada, was named,
died in San Francisco day before yesterday.
Some of the Reese River pioneers may have
known T. A. Austin, but We never heard Of
him until we saw this dispatch. The story
we have always heard about the naming of
this town was that Dave. Buel, its locator,
named it Austin after the city of that name
in Texas, he being Texan. The San Fran
cisco man may be entitled to the honor, but
the Buel story is the most probable one.

| Levi Parsons, (and he was once SO famOus)
/ that one is accustomea to think of him as one

he had as well been dead, these dozen years,
so far out of sight and mind as he is And
yet he is enough of a substantial entity, IS
Levi, as to be not only upon the face Of this

before Levi was the great generalissimo and
head strategist of the San Francisco Bulllhead
Scheme (Which little Governor Downey We
toed), she and he were married IN that city.
Now, after all these eventful years, she comes
into the Fifteenth Judicial District Court of
California and sues for bill of enforcement.
This sad complainant couples one Mary Jane
Parsons with the delinquent Levi, and sues
them both. She does not care for separa-

Grant is to be offered the mission to
England. A warm approval OF the
project comes from an unexpected
quarter. The philadelphia Times
ears: "There would be eminent fitness
in calling Grant to represent our gov
ernment at the court Of the mother
country, aud his acceptance OF it would
be entirely consistent with the dignity
due to the eminent positions he has
held. The man Who has reached the
highest rank ever created in the army
by his own achievements, and has been
twice chosen TO the highest civil trust
Of the government, should not be sen,
into retirement. President Hayes
would honor his administration and
honor the country by promptly ten
dering the mission to Grant. lie
would be honored abroad as has beca
no American minister in the plst. and
the homage paid to him would be re-
Aected upon the country and its instit.
