READ our new advertisement OF lots
for sale in South Port Townsend. This
property was enormously referred to by us
in our last Issue as being THIRD town
site recently laid out near Irondaie. Ii Is
really the Oldest Oh the bay, except the
original one where the town now stands.
| In view of the increase OF business con-
tempIated by the iron company, the fact
that Il saw mill will undoubtedly be erect
ell soon in front of the property referred
TO in this site, and the fact that lots are
offered at very low rates, it would seem TO
be an excellent chance 10 invest.

FIRE-pRooF rorrER's CLAY.
Port Townsend, July 2e. Il

Fort townsend, July 26. 1881.
EDITOR Argos Having learned that
a responsible party residing in Illinois is
anxious 10 ascertain facts in regard To the
existence of fire-proof Potter's clay Ia
this Territory. and more especially in the
region OF Puget Sound. with the object in
view of erecting works for the manutac-
lure OF fire-prOOf and ornamental brick.
crockery and all kinds of pottery. take
this means OF enquiring amongst your
numerous readers as TO their knowledge
on this subject.
In order that interested parties may be
able TO ascertain the quality of the clay
and the conditions required, I herewith
furnish you with full desert ption, and if
any such can be obtained. shall be glad
10 correspond with the owners on tie sub
ject: The clay is of different cOlorS, bur
always composed of the same ingredients.
It is nearly always of a b'uish white. -
sometimes yelow.-and often a blush
black. When exposed to the weather it
forms into small Jumps and dust. and
when covered in water it Is soft and tnnSh.
When in the ground, away from the i'll
fiuence of weather and water, |. assimi-
lates sandstone. When taken out away
from the surface or where the air has not
acted OH II, and then thoroughly dried in
the sun. it Is very much like sandstone.
Ii is unlike soapstone. the latter having
but little grit In it. Potter's clay Is most
ly silica or sand. and is always found in a
country where there is stone coal-in the
strata Immediately above the coal. Very
often this strata Is not found in the neigh
borhood Of the coal, but perhaps several
miles distant"
Trusting this lengthy description may
not take up too much OF your valuable
space. and tha: another addition may be
made to our many great resources. l re-

THE WEDDING MARCH.


An AFkaepe HtoFys
mo. 329-A Wedding March"
Such was the number and name Of a
picture in the Academy OF certain
year which shall. for polite and per-
sonal reasons. be left undesignated.
The picture was one of my painting;
and I. Reginald Tracey. had been for
tunate enough 10 attain three very inn
portant ends by its production. First
". il was deemed excellent enough by
the Hanging Committee to be placed
on the line. and It faced you in very
prominent manneras you entered Room
No. v. Secondly. this prominent po-
sition secured for my picture large
share Of attention which resulted In its
finding purchaser almost as soon a.
the Exhibition doors opened. But
thirdly. il served the actual purpose for
which painted il, and which led me
to choose my subject. That purpose
involved Just the least bit OF romance;
and although the clever critics praised
the picture. and even limited that Mr..
Tracey had been singnlarly fortunate
in his treatment Of somewhat unusual
and difficult theme,' etc, not one Of
them SO much as guessed that It was q
picture with purpose. As the sequel
may serve 10 show, that purpose sprang
from and ended in what / am pleased
70 call my little romance.

any message behind him as to where he
was going or when he would return.
Two or three days passed by and as he
did not return inquiries as to his where
abouts were commenced, and after be-
ing continued for long time his family
gave him up as dead. Nothing was
heard of him until few days ago when
his brother-in-law, detective William
Legg, received information that led him
to believe the missing man was living

was the Charles Hackett that left this
city sixteen years ago. During most of
the time that he had been away, he
worked among the coal mines in Wes.
tern Pennsylvania. He also married
add now has wife and four children.
He assigned no reason for leaving
