THE HEAT IN THE MINES
4 Theory that 1t In Caused Mainly by
the Decomposition of Iron Pyrites.


| TIsotniu (Str.} EnteEpriss
| Lime is undoubtedly one cause OF heat IN
our mines, but it is not, the onIyuor the sreat
hear-producer. Lime is local in its acton.
the heat produced by. it is confined to certain
sections of the mines, while underlying the
whole length of the Comstock lode Is thas
which causes the general heat-namely. tha
deposits Of iron pyrites. The hottest places
in the mines are where the heat Is geue!a1ed
BY both lime and pyrites; it is the heat from
the lime added to the general heat from nj
ture's workshop below.
The hot springs of Colorado may deri1ea
portion Of their heat from the decomposition
Of lime, but this is but Il secondary cause.
The great and first cause of heat in springs
and mines is the decomposition Of iron py.ites
-masses of iron and sulphur. At Steamboat
Springs and other places in this State, and at
most Of the hot springs in California, the heat
is produced by the burning out OF. deeompo+
sition Ut iron pyrites. At Steamboat Springs
the course of tie deposits of iron pyrftes Is
northeast and southwest, the same as that Of
the great mineraibearing veins OF the STATE.
The line Of active springs follows the coursa
Of this deposit. moving toward the northeast
At the southwest end are to be seen places
where the depOslt.0f iron pyrlteS and similar
minerals carrying large quantities OF sulphur
away. The process of burning out is slowly
moving toward the northeast In 1850 the
writer saw a new spring just starting up
through a thick growth OF grass In Bit Of
meadow land far in advance Of the older and
larger ones, but on the same general line,
well out to the northeast.

the north. By going from half to three
quarters of mile west of tha present actlva
springs at Steamboat. one may see where tha
springs were ages ago, along near the crop
pings OF upper edge of the deposit Of pyrittc
matter. AS the decomposition proceeded
downward and eastward along the dip Of the
deposit, the steam and hot water found or
forced new vertical channels Of escape:
Some OF these openings are probably natural

PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.
Who Were There, and the Ladies'
Toilets.


WASHINGTON, D. G.. March 1s.-There was
large reception at the White House to-
night, given by the President to the two
Houses Of Congress and their officers and to
members OF the Supreme Court The Atl-
ministration has made new departure with
regard to these social entertainments, and is
inviting what constitutes the different classes
OF the political and social world in turn.
The great American people, represented by
the officeseeker, has its turn in the morning
hours; the Army and Navy have had one
evening, and Tonight the two Houses Of Con-
gress were invited
4 curious Incident occurred in connection
with extending the Invitation to the Senate
Word came from the State Department to
the Vice-Presldent, requesting him to invite
the Senate to the White House. Vice-Presi-
dent Arthur's first impulse was to announce
the invitation from the chair; but this
seemed too much like an announcement of
deaths and MARRIAGES In country churches.
and he finally decided to send engraved in
yitations TO the members Of the Senate and
the officers. This accounts for the peculiar
language Of the Invitations received by the
Senators. as the invitation issued by the
Vice-lresident states that lie SIS requested
to invite the Senate This is quite a novel
social custom in Washington, aud las at
tracted little attention in social circles dis
posed on al! occasions to be critical.
The Red. Blue, Green, and East parlors
were all brilliantly lighted, and adorned with
many fine plants and cut flowers. The Presi-
dent and wife received their guests in the
BY. Weep President Arthur to President Gar
field, who IN turn made the presentations to
Mrs. Garfield.
Mrs. Garfield wore toilet of ruby velvet,

.Shootisy Agray.-Last Saturday u week, the
18th. there was n shooting affair near Oregon, Of
which did not see any notice in the papers.
Isaac Ambrose was shot by Charles Brown, the
ball breaking one Of his ribs, which, Il Is said.
saved his life. The ball passed backward and
was extracted by DIR. Benson BY making an In
eision six or eight inches from where Il entered.
Tho wound 10 severe but not dangerous. There
some alteration between the two men when
Brown ran into his own house to get his pistol.
Ambrose followed and Was shot inside the house.

Der Of Republicans whom I saw voting at the
Democratic primary did not 90 to the Republican
primary last Saturday. I suppose they were

In both parties who can be persuaded 20 do this
