There Is plenty OF rich ore in sight In

County Clerk George Nichoil visited

that the mines are looking we'll and con-
tidently believes that things will boom In
that section in tho near future.
G. o. Engstrom informs us that the

Tests for Honey.

: Mr.. II. Richey, Sing Sing, N. Y. lis quoted
as claiming that the following is "sure
test" for purity of honey: "One teaspoonful
Of honey put into wine glass, with about
the same quantity of water to dissolve it;
then put in few drops of tinc3ure Of iron.
This turns pure honey black" I have giv-
en- the above most thorough trial on seve-
al specimens OF honey, as follows: Linden,
Glover, Buckwheat, Golden-rod, Tulip,
and samples from California and Louisiana,
and poisonous honey, gathered in one of
eastern states, in 1880. Most of the sam
pies were known positively to be pure; l
feel certain that the others were. also
submitted several samples Of glucose to
the same test. The only sample that gave
any color of black, as the iron was added,
was the poisonous honey. All the others
maintained the same amber color OF the
reagen. Isuppose that the black color when
it comes, is owing to the presence Of tannin
in the grains of pollen that are in the hon
ey. We thus get taunate of iron. The
test then is not for the purity of the honey,
