The Mason County Mines.

I will give you few notes in regard
to the mineral wealth of this and adj
joining counties. Major Haynie & Co.'S
mine is situated ten miles northeast OF
the town of Mason; is being successful
ly worked, and the ore is good silver
ore beyond doubt. al, aJig IL,
Wood & Thompson's mine, four miles
north of town, has shaft sunk eighty
feet, and their mine is certain success
developing a fine vein of ore. They
need capital to go on. Capitalists will
find a splendid Investment with them.
Bridges, Bryan & Co.'s mine, ten
miles east of town, is for sale; the ore
can be seen at the Mason House. 1t is
a true fissure vein, well defined. .
There is another company which will
be at work, west Of Mason six miles. I
Ido not know the style of the company.
ia The Gooch g. Montgomery mine, in
Menrd county, thirty miles northwest
of Mason, is being worked. They have
found an old shaft worked many years
ago by the Spaniards; the metal is
good. .....' ,ctt,..
In Llano county DIR. Owens, of Cali
fornia, is working successfully the Pecan
mine-being rich copper ore, contain
ing gold and silver. .
There is also the Sam Houston mine,
said to be very rich, worked by Gal
weston company. There are great
many leads discovered, and every ore
is waiting for capital to come in.

In Gillespie county there is but one

between the two counties.
We have plenty of history OF tradi-
ton that the mines of west Texas have
been worked successfully and profitably
by the Mexicans years ago. 1t is histo-
nv that tells us that three millions of
bullion was taken out Of the red hills of
the san Saba in this county. (See Yoa-
kum's history, which gives an account
OF the mining operations Of the Span
iards.) This mining enterprise of the
Spanicrds wound up with general mas
sacre Of the miners and people living at
the missions attached TO the mines, and
but one girl was left to tell tbs tale of
the dreadful event. The wild tribes

Mr.J. Chellew, of Glasford, Peoria
county, is at work on machine for pro-
duciIg heat by mechanical means. Mr..
Chellew said: "That it is well known
that heat was kind of vibration or mo-
ton of the molecules of matter,an and that,
therefore, twas possible to- produce 1t
by mechanical means. Iron, for instance,
can be made hot by hammering it; heat
can be produced by rubbing two sticks
together, and many other illustrations
Of similar character may be given, all
showing that heat was a MECHANICAL
effect" Starting with this idea, he went
to work to construct machine that
would produce heat. a'0
His first attempt was success; the
machine produced q low degree of heat.
The motive power being the work of an
old Seth Thomas clock, tho trouble
with the machine was that the vibrations
were not regular, hence the low degree
of heat; but he felt encouraged; that
heat could be produced by machine
was evident; with better machinery more
heat could be produced. He then pur-
chased as good Seth Thomas clock as
he could find, having compromising
pendulum and other Improvements, and
went to work. on q new machine which
no calls thermachion, it being the one
the writer discovered him at work upon
on previous occasion. He was very
reticent in showing his thermachion, as
be wishes to secure patent on it; but
I can say that it is a wonderful machine.
It consists Of plain wooden box about
two feet square and three feet high, and
attached to one side, like an addition,
was box made out of thin boiler-plate,
being the same height and width as the
wooden box, and about q foot deep. In
the wooden box was the motive power;
in the iron box the heat is generated.
The essential part of the heat-producing
apparatus was a plate which Mr.. Chel-
lew calls "model plate" Mr.. Chellew
requested me to insert small wire thro'
small hole in the box, after starting
the works. In few seconds l withdrew
the wire, and it was too hot to touch
with the hands. He then took a small
tin cup of cold water and put in the iron
box. In two or three minutes he with
drew it boiling hot. Of course it is, as
yet, very imperfect, being deficient in
many details. The highest degree OF
heat yet attained with it is about $50
deg. But Mr.: Chellew expects, when
certain improvements he is experiment
ing on are attached, to show 500 deg. Of
heat, or perhaps higher, and with other
improvements and discoveries, to gener-
ate heat to any required degree. The
same instrument will produce high or
low degree of heat, as may be required,
which viii be controlled by @regula-
tor
1t is extremely portable, and, as there
is no smoke or gas emitted from it, it
can be placed in any room. The ex-
pense of running is nothing, except the
ordinary wear of the machinery. 1t can
be adapted to any purpose for which
heat is required. 1t may be used for
cooking or heating, being so portable it
may be taken from one room to another.
It may also be used for generating
steam for any engine, and who can say
the amount of saving 10 will effectS

PRUNING IN MIDSUMMER .

1t Is many years since, from our own
experience, we recommended people to
pruue at midsummer, although we knew
it was opposed TO the views of many en-
inent hortieulturists. At that time 1t
was regarded as a bold innovation on
established rules; ard we have often since
seen articles to show that summer prun-
ing must be wrong. The reason by which
this is supported is no doubt very good
1t does seem by the reasoning we have
referred to that It ought 70 be wrong TO
prune at that season; but on the other
hand we have the evidence of our own
senses not only that no harm, but abSO-
lutte good resulted from the summer prun-
inc of trees. But It seems to be forgot
ten by many good people that there are
two sides TO every Stoy-two sides to
winter pruning and two sides to summer
pruning. Few Of these horticultural OPP
erationS are nnmixed good or unmixed
evil. In any case what we have 70
accomplish is TO be gained, sometimes at
a little expense of good Points-good If
we are after some other object. - IN
this summer pruning question. 1t Is sand
by persons whom the whole horticultural
community respect, that winter pruning
strengthens while summer pruning weak
ems trees; and if one we've to deprive
tree of the whole OF lis foliage this would
probably be true enough % work serious
INJURY. Il is on the principle on which
noNious weeds are destroyed. Denuded
of every leaf rs fast as one appears, a
plant is often killed in one season. But
may this not be different when only a few
branches are taken off; The remaining
leaves and branches have more food az
their disposal What was intended for a
thousand branches Is now to be divided
among nine hundred. But We are not
disposed 20 enter into these minute points
