A Forest Of Silver.

A correspondent Of the Phoebe
Nevada Record, writing from Silver
Reef, says that, on the 9th of Dec.
Prudential and HasseIl, chloriders
in the Thompson & McNally, were
putting a hole into an unusually
hard rock, when suddenly the entire
face of the drift gave way with a
booming sound into a black abyss
200 feet deep. Hassell, who was
turning the drill at the time, hastily
sprang backward, thereby saving
himself from being carried down:
ward with the huge mass Of rock.
The astonisbed chloriders realized
that an immense cave was before
them. Two hundred feet overhead,
and family seen by candle light,
frowned its dome.like ceiling, the
further extremity of which was lost
in the darkness. Two hundred feet
below, firm and upright, stood a
forest Of huge trees. Ropes were
procured, and the chloridesr descend
ed into the forest which was found
to be petrified On some ofthe trees
strange characters were inscribed.
Various mosses, also petlifactions,
appeared green and lifelike, covering
the ground. All these petrifactions
carry silver. Some of the SAMPLES
broken from the trees assay as high
as 5000 per ton. The dimensions of
this marvellous cave are as follows:
Length, 865 feet; width Is to 100
feet; height from the bottom to cell
ing or roof, 375 to 400 feet.

The value of medicines compounde,

The value of medicines compounded
by thoroughly edu Gated physician
and scientific chemist must be apparent
to all. AS such we take pleasure in
commenting DR.. J. G. Ayers Cathartic
Pills. Public confidence in them have
steadily increased, until now their use
can be said to he universal. Great
and permanent popularity does not
COME with great merit. Our expert
ence convinces us that Ayers Pills
are superior to any Others in all the
uses for which cathartic medicine
is employed. They are pleasant to take
and are perfectly safe, sure and effec-
tual. Ayers Pills satisfy all the re.
quirements of reliable family physic
and their timely use undoubtedly pro.
elo8gs many lives and 1omotes the
health and comfort of thousands. -

Washington Letter.

Washington, Feb. 10Th, 1881.
The event of greatest local impor.

large and densely inhabited portion of
the city, including parts of Pennsyl-

floating ice from the upper Potomac
lodged against the stationary ice in

thus forming dam which forced the
water through the center of the city

Substitutes for Lumber.

We are in receipt. from Mr.. S. w
Hamilton, of Lawrence, Kansas, Of
a sample of lumber made from straw
manufactured after a process
patented by himself, the particulars
of which he does not explain. He
informs us, however, that he can
manufacture lumber like the sample
sent, in any desired length, from
u feet upwards, and to 80 inches IN
width, at a cost competing with the
better or finishing grades of pine,
although he does not inform US
whether this competition will apply
equally to sections where lumber is
comparatively cheap, as at Chicago
and at western grain producing
points, as at Kansas. We imagine.
however, that the expense will vary
but little at any point where straw
is obtainable in large quantities.
The manufacture is, of course, con
fined to a grade will compete with
the better class Of lumber, as there
would be no object in filling the
new product with knots, and shakes
would scarcely be obtainable even
If desired, while sap and decayed
wood must be impossibilities. The
sample sent US will hold a nail as
we'll as wood, is equally susceptible
to a high painting finish, and can
be polished to as high a degree as is
at all desirable. Being made wa.
terproof, we can discover no possible
reason why it should not be as dur.
able, or even more so, than pine or
even oak, while its adaptability is
evidently as great for roofing pur.

Turkish Carpet Making.

One of the most important industries
of the Ottoman empire, and cel tainly
the chief industi v of Asia Minor always
excepting agriculture. is the making
of carpets. Some of the factories
are now furnished with looms quite in
he European manner, bnt it is not in
such factories that these famos fabrics
are chiefly produced; the peasants in
their mud houses, and the nomad Yu-
ruks in their tents, all contribute to
the many kinds that are made. The
annual value of the carpets of Anatolia
approaches $500. 900, and of this but a
small number remain in Turkey.
These large expor-s keep prices at a
fair level, and in the best shops of
London and Paris all kinds of Eastern
carpets can be got for ready money
more che2ply than the casual traveller
can buy them on the spot. This ap.
