Many persons who are weak and sicLIy

has lately been found by experience that
the use of Speer's Port Grape Wine when
taken in moderate doses is one of the best

encourage the use of the Port Crane

RICH SILVER MINE.

The mine of Todos Santos, near Batopilas,
Chihuahua, Mexico, which is now being
worked, forms one of probably fifty which
exist within q radius of five miles around
the vicinity. It has been known some
twenty years, but was abandoned and re-
opened in 1875, since which time it has
yielded some $4,000 worth of ore. At
present, however, the ore extracted is of
astonishing richness, yielding u ounces of
silver to the pound, and in some cases a
hard dollar to every ounce. The specimens
exhibited to US were nearly solid silver,
nodules and filaments of the metal being
interspersed so thickly with the pure white
quartz. The mine is situated nearly
opposite that of the Botopilas Silver Mining
Company, across the Batopilas river, and
in the Sierra Madre Mountains at some 1900
feet elevation, or $500 feet above the
level of the Gulf of California, from which it
is distant about $50 miles, Owing to, the
almost total absence of neutrality-suspicious.
because Of the inaccessibility Of the locality
ore yielding as high as 5000 to the ton
is thrown aside as non-paying. The rich
ore after treatment in the rude adobe
furnaces of the country gives silver 993
fine. It is run into bars worth about 81 900
and $1. 200 piece. The cost oftransporta-
ton of ore to New York is 12t per cent, in
elusive of the per cent. Government duty.

CURIOUS PHENOMENON.

Manitobah Lake, which lies northwest of
Fort Garry, and has given title to the
proyince formed out of the Red River
region, derives its name from asmall island,
from which, in the stiffness of night, issues
q "mysterious voice." On no account will
the Ojibways approach or land upon this
island, supposing it to be the home of the
Manitobah-''the Speaking God" The
cause of this curious sound is the beating
of the waves on the "shingle," or large
pebbles lining the shores Along the
northern coast of the island there is long
low cliff of fine grained compact limestone,
which, under the stroke of the hammer,
clinks like steel. The waves beating on the
shore at the foot of the cliff cause tho
fallen fragments to rub against each other,
and to give out a sound resembling the
chimes of distant church BELLS This phe-
menon occurs when the gales blow from the
north, and then, as the winds subside, low,
wailing sounds, like whispering voices, are
heard in the air. Travellers assert that the
effect Is very impressive, and they have
been awakened OF night under the impress
sion that they were listening to church
bells.

OLD AND CUR Gus PATENTS.

The fTst patent issued in the United
states Government was to Samuel Hop
kins, on July S1st, 1870, for making pot or
pearl ashes. Patents were issued on modes
OF making candles, -four, and meal, later in
the same year; and in 1871 Francis BARLEY
was granted letters for .:punches oftypes."
Also in that year patents were issued for
driving piles, for bridges, machines, for
threshing grain, for improvements in
distilling, propelling boats by cattle, and
improvements in stea engines. In 1892
was patented canvas conductor to be used
when houses are on fire, which may have
been the original of the late patent fire.
escape. An improved mode of turning
a spit was patented in 1893; also stove CT
cast iron. A machine for cutting nails was
patented by Josiah g Peerson on March
23d, 1894. A new mode Of catching fish
was patented in 1895, since which time
innumerable laws have been enacted to
compel people to catch them by the old
process. Removing pains by metallic
points was patented in 1895, and the first
improvement in pianofortes is recorded in,
the same year; also stays for removing dis
tortions in the spine. A soap-stone stove
was patented in 1877. Bilious pills we're
first patented in 1896, effeminate ropery for
spinning rope yarn in 1899, and a washing
and wringing machine, the Cavabar, in
1900. Ebenezer Whiting received patent
for cotton gin on January 20, 1901. An
improvement for manufacturing paper from
husks was patented December 30th, 1903,
and an apple paper in 1904. A patent for
finding salt water and metals was granted
in 1903. In 1904 patent was issued for
an improvement in the bedstead, 50
constructed that it may be taken down and
removed by one person in case of fire or on
other occasions with much ease and expe-
dition. In 1904 the Government felt the
value Of an improvement in gallows,
or suspenders for breeches, pantaloons, or
trowsers. F

MAN WHO TURNS COPPER INTO
GOLD,

A gentleman residing in San Francisco,
who is in close correspondence with rela-
tives in Santiago, the capital of the Repub-
lie of Chill, states that Paraf has maintained
himself, despite the opposition brought
against him. He has now three establish
ments in operation, and is producing won
derful results. He has organized CON-
pany with a capital Of $S,0oo,ooo, and the
people are absolutely crazy to procure
stock. Copper mines that were formerly
comparatively valueless are now held at
exorbitant figures and prospecting is active
in every direction. One of the instances OF
Paraf's assays Is interesting. A ton OF
copper ore from the Caracoles district was
submitted to several of the well-known
assayers in the presence Of a number or
citizens, Paraf also being present. The
assayers announced the result-they had
obtained four and half per cent. OF gold.
Thereupon Paraf suggested that there must
be more of the precious metal in the ore,
but the assayers were prevented finding it
on account of its being hidden by the cop
per. He produced the chemical powder,
which he calls ''reactive,' and this was sub
mitted to those present, and, in its turn
analysed, without detecting the presence of
gold. Scattering this over the pulverlzed
mass and allowing about half an hour for
manipulation in order to thorough incorpo-
ration with 1t, he asked the metallurgists to
reassay the ore, when the astonishing result
of thirty-seven and a half per cent. was
reached. Paraf is reported to be on the
ton wave of success. He has purchased the
Quinta, on the Canada, the principal street
of Santiago, the former residence OF the
late Harry Meiggs, and which cost him
$500, 900, and there receives the worship
pers of the golden calf in right royal STYLE
Chill is,beginning to believe in him as its
financial savior, and his influence is only
limited by the oredulity of the people.

The following explanation appears in the
Rome Sentinel:-The gentleman who left
the church SO suddenly last Sunday was not
sick, as his friends feared at the time. That
forenoon Just before service, he visited his
barn to see that his horse had been properly
cared for, and finding new laid egg, he
put it in his coat-skirt pocket. The recol-
lection that the egg was still in his pocket
prompted him to steal away from the con-
gregation to make Investigations, and we
regret to ray that his worst fears were
realized. .~.
