 of rich roc.l on its dump and a clearly Ideined ore vein before capital eau be induced to invest, and even then the amount offered is small.

This has been done, and there is every reason to be lieve that the Territory, when properly developed, will be one of the richest gold and silver producing districts on ilhe coast. Now that the mines have been found, however, the great dlllicul- lty is to get ihe public interested in them.

 5Onk is one of many valuable products of the Centennial Pottery of various degrees of beauty and value, has been in common use over 2,000 years, and yet comparatively few know anything of the history of its manufacture, the time and scientific thought devoted to it, and the space It now occupies in the minds of people of culture and
 wealth, the world over. The Centen- nial brought together most costly ar ticles of this ware and of ancient and modern make. They attracted general admiration and attention, and the man. ufaciure, like many other articles for
 Use and ornament is largely on the increase in the United States, but the very costly. wares still mainly come from Italy, Germany and other foreign countries. NIT. Beckwith gives a con- .cise history of the manufacture of and ,aFhslic work on earthcnware, winch gues under the several names of ma jolica, fayence, porcelain, terra cotta, etc.-lhe character of materials and of finish determining the class or name. Mir Beckwith traces the progress of the art by nations and individuals, and gives definitions and translati0ns re Hating thereto of great interest, and to- many of great value as well. Majolica ware is enameled with tin, painted and lustred; others are painted and lustred with various materials, but not with tin. The book is printed by D. Appleton & O., and of the subject and book itself, the New York Observer, says:
 Pottery and porcelain are he great. rage of the day. There are thousands of genuine students of the art, and tens if not hundreds Of thousands who talk about Majolica and Fayence because others do. The little manual, which Is largely illustrated with genuine photo. graphs and with marks of the different makers, will enable the latter class tDi talk more intelligenlly and will give to all the information of which they are in quest. IL precisely meets a public want and will unquestiOnably have a large sale.
