HeII-Ejre Rock.

Miners are not IN the habit Of throw
ing up good contracts for nothing nova
days, but the Ada mine, in Salt Greek,
is idle at present and will be for some
time to come, unless some of our rock
sharps give solution to a geological
phenomenon which still puzzles the
miners Of that section. In driving the
tunnel, which is now over one hundred
feet, strange formation was encoun-
tered At every stroke Of the picks the
tunnel was filled with luminous yapor,
and the weird light made the blood
chill in the VEINS of the superstitious
miners. 1t is needless to say that the
contractors dropped their tools and left,
and the owners could not induce them to
resume the work. They called the rock
hell-fire rock and give the tunnel a
wide berth. Some of the rock is being
analyzed and we shall give the result as
soon as ascertaiued. 1t is probably
phOSphOretic rock.
