1 Better EzsrBor Needed.

The sinking and stranding Of fifteen vessels
at Lewes on the night Of the big storm Of the
4th inst. is taken as conclusive evidence that q
better harbor is needed there than is now pro-
vided BY the Government. The Breakwater
will have to be enlarged, 50 as to better shelter
the shipping that takes refuge behind it during
gale Still, in the case Of vessels sunk by the
storm, the Milford Nelgs thinks that was caused
mainly from the gross neglect Of their owners
or their officers, in not having the matches
properly secured. The sea rolling over and
into them tore open the hatehwaYs and filed
them with water. They could not have gone
down If the water had been kept out Of them.

On the Scene of the Massacre.
National Associated Press to the Star.
MOUNTAIN MEADOW, UTAH, March 2S--
John d. Lee was executed here at IL
O'Clock this morning. He sat ON his CO..
fin, and did not display the slightest
nervousness. He seemed perfectly TT
signed to his fate.
When Marshal Nelson tied handkeE-
chief over Lees eyes and commenced 10
tie his hands the condemned man placed
them over his head and sat perfectly
motionless, and called to the execution
ers to aim well for his heart.
Marshal Nelson gave the command
"Make ready aud fire." in firm manner,
and in moment Lee fell back over h.s
coffin, his teet ON the grounr, and died
without struggle. He preferred si.-
ting to meet his doom. Five balls
pierced his heart and body.
Lees execution was one Of the most
remarkable sights ever witnessed. Toe
old man never finched and his death
seemed easy.
He said in his last statement that he
was sacrifice, and that Brigham
Young went back on him. II iaSI
words were against the Mormon pa -
phet.
The execution took place about one
hundred yards from the emf rants' mou-
ument, on the ground where nearly
twenty years ago the "Arkansas CoIH-
pany" men, women and Chi. u en-, weis e
massacred by the Norm ns under the
command Of Lee.

 The Origin Of Gold Nuggets.

The mode in which the large masses of go d called nuggets, were formed has long puzzled philosophers. They are found in the loose earth and gravel of aluvial de- pQsits, and it is the general opinion that these deposits are formed by the wearing away of mountains containing veins of the metal. They are, in fact, solid ores ground up to sand and gravel by natural agencies. But it is noticeable fact that large mug gets are never found in veins. Much as the latter have been explored, uneovering many thousand miles of their length, they have never yielded masses of gold which approached in size the largest yielded by the placers. The true origin of these mug gets has attracted more attention in New Zealand and Australia than in our own country; and within few years q line of has been pursued which af- ford good reasons for believing that more correct theory of the origin of nuggets has been found. The first point established was the solability of the sulphide of gold

 out from Tucson for the purpose Of pros- pecting tour in the Santa Catarina noun tains, that portion of them that had not before been prOspected. They returned
 home on Monday last loaded down with
 specimen ores, croppings from different ! localities, and, although the ore has not yet been assayeG, some of it will yield as
 high as s5000 to the ton. They located
 mine of 3500 feet in what is known as the
 B0lder district, on the northwestern slope
 of the mountain, in which the lead is trace
 able for two miles, and by tunneling 200 feet can be struck 800 feet below the sur
 face. The croppings are two and half feet. from which they gathered rich speci-
 mems of chlorides and black sulphurets

They had great difficulty in as- cending the mountain where there are no roads, but are of the opinion that timber could be got out by means of shoot at an expense of from 5000 to $30O9, and it is in such abun dnce that there would be mil lions in it" for those who invested There are number of running streams through the mountains which could be utilized, and are inexhaustible The mineral wealth of these mountains is almost boundless, the ore taken therefrom being rich in silver, gold and copper; also lead and irou The mine these gentlemen located is distant but thirty miles from Tucson, on an air line, and sooner or later will be explored and worked, to the great advantage of Cur city.-IStar.

that it is to this mineral that we are to look as the principal agent in the forma- ton of nuggets. From such solutions, when alkaline, coherent alloy can be pre- cipitated either by pyrite or voltaic action. Any of the alkalies or alkaline earths form q sufficiently alkaline solution even in the presence of large proportion of silica, which is only feebly acid. Alkalinity is the normal condition of surface waters, prop osition which is not negatived by the acid ity of mine waters, since these are the product of the artificial exposure of pyrites to oxidation.
