OXFORD MINES

Thst there j. mineral belt extending
through Oxford County. has been known
to biologists Toe many years, hut the ex-
tent and richness OF the mineral resources
OF the country has been heretofore, a mat
ter of uncertainty. More has been done
TO explore and develop the mineral re-
sources of the Oxford Belt the past season,
than was ever done before, and am hap
ey to state that the results have been
highly satisfactory. Ores containing lead,
silver, gold and nickel have been taken
from number OF veins in considerable
quantities. / had the pleasure of visiting
DIR. J. c. DOMAINS Office in Lewiston a
few days since, and saw fine looking
brick OF lead and silver, and think some
gold, that weighed two pounds, three and
one-half ounces, worth nearly $50 per ton,
that was smelted from four and one-half
pounds ofaverage ore from the Champion
mine In Milton Plantation. This mine is
now sufficiently developed TO assure its
owners OF ore in quantities to smelt, of
from one ton and upwards per day, its ore
increasing in quantity and richness in
silver as the mine is worked. With a good
smelling furnace oxford County could
now be shipping bullion in paying quanti-
ties.
Several hundred dollars have been ex-
pended the past season, with such results
as will insure a much larger outlay the
next There are several veins just opened
in Woodstock, Paris and Greenwood that
bid fair to be equal to the Champion in
richness. The whole mining business is
in its infancy here. and while little has
been accomplished l am bold 20 say that
foT the amount Of labor and capital ex-
pended, no part of the country can pro-
duce more fatteriug results. and those who
have examined the matter the most care
fully are strongest in the belief that few
years will demonstrate that the oxford
Belt is rich in minerals and only waits for
skill and labor 10 awaken TO life and energy
the hidden treasures that lie buried in the
hills OF old Oxford. OXFORD.

A Neglected Tomb.

The vault Of the Wesleyan Methodist Episco-
pal church in New York city has caved in, ex-
posing to view an immense number Of bodies,
the rotted coffins being broken by the falling
bricks. Twenty or twenty-five years ago, when
the age OF sanitary reform began, the health
authorities caused these vaults to be closed and
their use abandoned. They were then full, it
being estimated that fully 5000 bodies had
been deposited in both. As shelf after shelf
rotted away and fell u nder its ghastly burden,
the coffins were more closely packed, and the
space At the top grew larger, and room was
made for more shelves. The topmost had
reach the roof of the arch, when the entrances
were sealed and earth was filed in on top.
Again and again in after years the rain made
holes through the ground, and at the old en-
trance the arch caved in, but the holes were
stopped and no more was thought Of it. A big
shed was built over the vaults in place of the
smaller one that once stood behind it, and l5
or 20 tons Of coal were dumped in it. This
great weight weakened the arches and they fell
with a crash.

Horrible Scene At au Execution.

James Madison Wyatt Stone, mulatto about
Washington, D. c., ON the End inst, for the
murder Of his wife on the night Of November
5th, 1878. The gallows was twenty feet high.
with platform ten feet square and drop of
about five feet. At 1:10 p. N. the moose was
placed around Stones neck, the knot under the
left ear. The signal was given, the drop fell,
posed the head had slipped through the moose,
but in an instant that member, which had been
entirely severed from the trunk, fell from the
moose about four feet from the body. Blood
spurted from the body and spattered the beams
OF the gallows. But in two minutes all mus
cular action had ceased. The head was picked
up by physician: The face appeared placid,
