Mica.

There is at present a good deal said about discoveries of mica or ''islngiass' in Arizona, the Black Hills, and other localities, and in regard to the com mercial value of the article when sheets of fair size and perfect transparency can be obtained Formerly many dis- ccveries of mica were reported Tn the eastern part of this State. In some in stances large sheets were spoken Of, but in the majority of the veins the mineral seems to have been a good deal broken up and unstable for most uses. Now, as mica is indestructlble in the hottest of fires, why might It not be adventageously used in the man ufacture of fire-proof felting for boil CTS. steam pipes and the like: For thls use even the smallest pieces could be utilized, as in preparing the mlca Ii would be necessary to grind il. Mica could undoubtedly be furnished at a much lower price than asbestos--Sir- ginia Enterprise.

PInaI County Mines,

E. W. P," in a late letter to The Alta, says:
 The King mine, the nucleus of this district, concerning which there has been so many dissenting opinions, is developing in the bottom beyond the most sanguine expectations. The guess ing generalities contained in the reports of experts seLt out months ago, all van- ish now before the facts emblazoned on the walls of true Assure vein, 300 feet fl Im the surface, between which ore of exceeding richness reposes in immeasurable quantities.
 Some extensive prospecting is done by the Connolly brothers on the Second South extension of the King, known as the Red Cross, ,"-SOme party in San Francisco furnishing the means Three miles, in an air lIne, south, Is situated the Silver Bell mIne, which is producing considerable quantities ot rich, milling ore. The owners consider 1t equal To the King mine, and refused an offer of en-stanp mill, few days since, for one-fiflh interest in the mine. Three miles north of the King the Ranger is located, showing ledge twenty feet wide, with croppings on the surface 800 feet in length, assaying forty per cent. in copper and fifty dol lars per ton in silver. Twelve miles northwest from here mine is being developed winch promises to reward its owners well. At a depth of fifty feet they have an ore body ten feet wide assaying $170 per ton.
 The little town near the King, known by the cognomen ot King City, is of exceeding slow growth, owing in a measure, to disputed titles, concerning which the legal talent of Florence, the county seat, has already been brought into acquisition. Many heated disputes and some pistlelory " demonstrations and forcIble entries made, but no lives have been lost thus far

Desert Lands i'm Colorado and what
 Senator ChaRee Proposes.

Senator Chaffee has recently returned home from Washington and been sub jected to a newspaper interview, the important point of which is the Sena- tors expressed purpose to introduce a bill in Congress to donate dry lands of the State to the State, on the condl- ton that they be irrigated. He claims that individuals are unable 10 irrigate the land but that the State can do it, and be reimbursed by sales to the peo- pie. He says the Platte, Arkansas and other rivers and streams, under a per feet system, can be made to irriga,e immense tracts and that the State can do the work as it should be. He does not expect the bill to pass very soon. He says joint committee of both houses will be invited to personally examine the lands and report the facts regard ing them, and that they will see the ! justice of his bill and in the course of two or three sessions, he thinks it will i become law.
 It's quite evident that all legislation
 relating to agricultural, timber and
 grazing lands ID the mountainous states and Territories of the interior or of the continent should be revised. Eventual ly the State and Territorial govern ments will have to control the distribu- ton of water, SD that it may be made to irriga,e the greatest possible area of ground, and give homes and employ ment to the greatest number of people. As the water at present lS used-waSted would be, perhaps, the better word not one-tenth of the land is cultivated that could be by a perfect system. Whether or not the local governments get the land, they will sometime be obliged to control the water, and Sena- tor ChafTe undoubtedly thinks that if given in season, the State had better have control of water and land. The Desert land law shows that Congress recognizes the necessity for new legis- lation for the class of lands referred to, and that law is imperfect and must be amended or it will not meet the eX- pectations of its friends. If it be held, as lntimated from Washington, that all of the land entered under the act must be irrigated and made productive, then it will prove costly deluslon to nearly all who have availed themselves of ils provisions in perfect good faith. But the proposition of Senator Chaffee shows that new legislation will be de- manded and perhaps be enacted, for he is an active and successful con gresSional worker.

Rich CaIiforuians.

The Bulletin has a long article on rich men in Europe and the United States, from which the following in- tcresting extract is taken:
 For the present, however, we adhere to our estimates, and set down the men who are the principal owners of Bank of Nevada and the great bonan- ga mines, as the richest men in this State; and set down the four men who are the principal owners of the Central Pacific Railroad and connecting roads, as ranking next in order, with the qualification that we do not hold our selves responsible for these calcula- tions They have at least the merit of shrewd guesses, with considerable data to fortify the opinion. No doubt other names might be added to the follow. ing list of those of our citizens having fortunes of $4000,000 and upwards:

Better Late Than Never.

Life Is a race. where some succeed,
 While others are beginning; 'Tis luck at times, at others speed,
 That gives an early winning. But if you chance to fall behind,
 Ne'er slacken your endeavor. But keep thIs wholesome truth in mind
 Iris better late than never. If you can keep ahead. 'tis well,
 But never trip your neighbor; 'Tis well when you can excel
 By honest, patient labor; But if you are Outstupped at last,
 Press on as bold as ever; Remember. though you are surpassed,
 Iris better late than never. Ne'er for an Idle hour boast
 or victory OCT another; But while you strive your uttermost,
 Deal fairly with a brother. Whate'er your station, do your best,
 And hold yoar purpose ever; And if you tail 10 beat the rest,
 'Tis better laie than never. Choose we'll the path In which you run Succeed by noble daring; Then, though the last, when once lis won
 Your crown is worth the wearing; Then never fret, if left behind,
 Nor slacken your endeavor; But ever keep this truth in mInd.
 Iris better late than never.

IT is with pleasure we notice the press generally waking up to the fact that Geo. P. Rowell < Co. of New York, are a firm of apparently genteel swindlers and blackmailers. Their game has mostly been the country newspapers, Professing to benefit them, they systematically get money from them or misrepresent their busi- ness. Each year for years, they have tried to get the patronage of TIE CIT HEN, and our letter book shows the encouragement we gave them. Their Newspaper Reporter and Directory have been used to misrepresent pub fishers with independence enough to refuse 10 patronize them, or to reply to thelr cheeky demands in just terms.
