A MOUNTAIN OF AGATEs.


Some ten miles TO the nor.. Inward of
Grantsville is mountain that is covered
and filled with agates. The rough agates
are in the form of geodes and generally
hemispherical in shape. When these
geodes are broken many of them show
beautiful forms resembling photographs
Of pine trees, ferns ranges of mountains
and the like. Others of these agates are
formed on different plan. These show
lines, angles and curves as clean and fine
as if they had been made with the most
accurate instruments at the command of
a geometrican. One of this class that has
been cut and mounted on slide by I. Il.
James, of this city, for microscopic OBJ
servation is most brilliant and beau
tiful object. A gentleman who recently
visited this agate mountain says it is the
greatest curiosity he has ever seen. The
whole mountain appears to be mass of
the geodes or rather nodules-for they
are solid, while geode is hollow and
generally filed with crystals. Zone may
take a pick and dig these nodules out of
the ground just like digging potatoes out
of hill, said the gentleman, describing
the manner of collecting the agates. They
are of all sizes; from an ounce to pounds
in weight. All more or less nearly ap-
proach the shape of half an apple or
orange, and all have on tine outside a
rough coating good deal resembling the
outside of nutmeg. Some of the agates
of the geometrical style-approaching
what are called fortifcation agates-show
several colors. One of these found by a
miner is said to show all the colors of the
rainbow, though in hues subdued. The
miners are all firmly of the opinion that
rainbow was in some way photographed
upon the agate at the time it was form.

MINING ASSESSMENT WORK.

The San Francisco Mining and Scien-
tifc Press has the following of interest to
miners: One important question to miners
which has never been satisfactorily set
tied is, what constitutes 500 worth of
labor and improvements? We often hear
of trouble resulting from claims being
jumped by parties who hold that the ne
cessary amount Of work required by the
United States statutes has not been done
in the manner prescribed by law. Some
persons have expended annually S75 or
$50 for actual labor, and 500 or $25 for
tools and other material, making total
of 500. The ps-ties who have relocated
such claims hold that actual labor to the
value of 500 must be performed, inde-
pendent of cost of material used, etc.
The law on this point is very definite
and allows of liberal construction. The
following is the literal reading of the
statutes: "On each claim located after
the 10th of May, 1872, and until a patent
has been issued therefor, not less than
500 worth of improvements made dur
ing each year" This point as it now
stands is liable to cause considerable lit
igation. The Commissioner of the Cen
eral Land Office has never, to our knowl-
edge, decided as to whether the money
expended for powder, fuse, tools, etc.,
can be counted as part of the 800 worth
of labor required. Until such decision is
rendered, miners will have to be con-
trolled by the bylaws of their own dis
trict being accorded the right to make
regulations for its own government, not
in conflict with the laws of the United
States, or of the State or Territory in
which the district is situated.

Sixty years ago, says the Philadelphia
Press, Mordecai M. Noah built monu.
ment on Grand Island upon which was
inscribed: "Ararat, city of refuge for
the Jews" 1t was the dream of his life
to restore the kingdom of Israel at that
place, but it came to the end of all
dreams. 1t has recently been rumored
that Mr.. Lawrence Oliphant, that world
wide traveller and accomplished man of
the world, had, at the instigation of Sir
Moses Montefiore, at last gained con-
cession of certain districts in Palestine,
where the oft-attempted project Of that
venerable philanthropist is to be carried
out. 1t is now stated semi i-authoritatively
in the English press that among the pro-
Jects which Mr.. Goschen will present to
the Sultan is that of forming into a
Jewish colony the districts of Galaad and
Moab, which are at present inhabited
by few nomad tribes. The Ottoman
Government would retain its suzerian
rights over this territory, which was
formerly the part of the Promised Land
set aside for the tribes of Cad, Reuben
and Manasseh, and would receive in
return for its concession, in other re-
spects, a respectable number of millions
from certain capitalists, who have under
taken that they shall be Forthcoming.
Inc new colony would be subjected to
the authority Of prince Of Jewish race
and religion and would serve as the
nucleus OF second Kingdom of Israel.
TRUSTEE AND HEIR. 1t is related tina,
certain wealthy man not long ago made
will leaving his large property TO ,
trustee for his son. Subsequently he
called the boy in, and reading it to hin
inquired if he could suggest any impro
ment "Well, father" said the bow
"your intentions are right, but as thing,
go nowadays, it seems to me it woult
be to my advantage if you would max,
the others fellow the heir, and transfe,
the trusteeship to me-" The old gentle
man thought the matter over and con
cluded to cancel the trustee clause of hi
last will and testament.

A curious story, which will be new to
many, is told at Tyringham, Mass. Sew
eral years ago there lived in Tyringham
Hollow prosperous family of Shakers.
At one time several of their porkers were
taken sick, and they could account for
the complaint in no way except on the
supposition that the devil had entered
into the swine. They tore down the
pens to find him, and in the midst of the
work a weasel ran out from the rubbish.
it was perfectly evident that the devil
had passed out into the weasel, so they
gave chase. The creature ran to the top
Of the hill, and the people, breathless and
excited, followed. At length he was
captured, killed and buried. After that
time the place where the weasel was
killed was called by them holy ground" F"
An inscribed monument was erected, and
it became favorite place for Shakers
for assembling for solemn dances and
worship. The monument is broken now
and the place is polluted by strange feet.
The inscription is forgotten and cannot
be deciphered, but the story remains and
the place is known in the vicinity as
"Shakers' holy ground" People who
visit it always carry with them piece of
the devils gravestone as memento.
Two orphans Of Thomas Crowl, of
Beaver county, Penn, have come to an
untimely end through the brutality of a
step-father. Their father served three
years in the army, and was killed by a
railroad collision on his way home, after
the war. His widow married Jared Will
liams, who abused her two children.
Three years ago one of them, girl six
teen years of age, was turned out of
doors by him, after being beaten. She
drowned herself in a stream near by.
The other child was q son, named Peter.
He was SO badly treated by his step
father that he quit home and obtained a
situation. Williams carried his persecu-
tion of the boy to the place of his en-
ployment. Two weeks ago he succeeded
in having Peter discharged from his
place. The boy returned home and bade
his mother goodbye. On Saturday
morning he was found dead in barn
half mile away. He had shot himself
through the heart. s
1t is curious that few years since in
"Notes and Queries" correspondent
undertook to give an explanation of the
origin of the expression "to put your
foot in it," and he struck upon the fol.
lowing: According to the Asiatic re.
searches very curious mode of trying
the title to land is practised in Hindostan.
Two holes are dug in the disputed spot,
in each Of which the lawyers on either
side put one Of their legs and remain
there until one of them is tired or com
plains of being stung by insects, in which
case his client is defeated. An American
wit has remarked that in the United
States it is generally the client and not
the lawyer who puts his foot in it,"

Hlrerng MirrorS.-Thc plan of
coating mirrors with n thin Him of sill
yer, though superior to the OLD amalga-
mating process, has some draw backs.
Tho ordinary treatment is rs follows:
The glass Is laid on Il horizontal table of
cast-lron covered with n WOODEN cloth
and heated to 40 deg. Ccntig. (lOl deg.
fahr9 On the glass, previously well
cleaned, are poured successfully So
luton Oftartaric acid, and then another
Of ammonical nitrate of silver. Under
the influence Of the heat the organic
acid reduces the metallic salt, and after
about twenty minutes the silver Is de-
posted OIL the glass in adherent layers
the whole operation does not occupy
more than an hour. The mirror is then
dried and the metal covered with avar-
nish sufficient to protect it from friction
and the action of sulphur vapors which
blacken it. But silver deposited in this
way often has an unpleasant ycllowish
reflection. NJ. Lenolr, of Paris, turned
his attention to discovering process
which would obviate the draw back

means. The glass, once silvered, is
subjected to the action of dilute solu-
ton of the double cyanide OF mercury
and potassium, when an amalgam Of
white and brilliant silver is formed
adhcring strongly to the glass. To
facilitate the operation and utilize all
the silver employed, NJ. Lenoir, by q
recent Improvement, sprinkles the glass

regulates the amalgamstion. Mirrors
thus treated no longer give, 1t is said,

tlcction OF the old process without tho
emanatlon Of vapors which would be
injurious to tho men employed upon the
operation.
