forms you still are beautiful
Those witching moonlight nights have
been given not only to you and me, but
toal ths world. How have tiay be-.
spent1 How many have lived them
happily-how many wretchedly-God
only knows. How many would live
them over again and live better lives ?
How many tired aud earth-weary ones
whose lives have been made up u
"tears, tortures and q touch of Joy, |"
have broken tho icy fetters that bound
them to the world, and have gone home
to that beautiful land whose mystic
portals sorrow may not pass? How
many children Of passion, in delrium
Of burning desire, have sought with
eager steps some den CT pollution, and
sunk deeper and deeper into the seething
cesspools of vice and corruption How
many have sought with noiseless step
their lonely window, and, with eyes up
raised to the peaceful, shining heavens,
have prayed that the now sick and sui
fering loved one might be spared little
while, and have felt too bitterly that it
does not always cheer the darkened,
lonely heart when the eyes drink beauty
from the bright outer world then softly
beside the weary sufferer have knelt

Of love, from eyes by sleep forsaken,

Of the music Of the spheres, that swells

flames playing upon the ore, and re-
ducing it far more rapidly than any
solid fuel. Their heat is entirely un-
der control, and can be modified at
any time by the blast pressure.
The economic advantages Of this
method Of smelling are thus set forth
by the inventor Our bituminous coal
contains about eighty-three per cent.
of carbon and five per cent. of hydro
gen. The rest is ashes, oxygen and
nitrogen. The coke that our smelteD
use contains ninety per cent. of car
bon, the remainder being earthly mat
ter, moisture, etc. Now, if we consider
grammes instead of pounds, the smell
ter's ninety grammes of carbon,
burned to carbonic oxyde, give 222,-
$40 heat units ); while the SO grammes
of carbon in the coal, burned to car
bonic acid gas, produce go, $40 heat
units, and the five grammes of hydro
gen 1890 heat units, or the two
together, S42,o5o heat units. AS will
be seen this is three and seven-tenths
times as much as the smelter by pres
ent methods obtains from his coke.
The noke costs $50 per ton and the
coal 81. Or we get as much heat for
s1.89 by the new process as they do
by the present methods for $40. The
cost for fuel is less than one-tenth the
present cost.
These statements are not specula-
tive. They are based upon hundreds
of experiments made by several Of the
best chemists of the world.
Besides the economy in fuel, the
ore by this method will be reduced
much more rapidly. Power will also
be saved as the blast pressure required
will not be so great as at present.
There are also several other minor
advantages. A small quantity of
charcoal or coke will be used in the
maip furnace to reduce the metals
from their oride state. Il is estimated
that any ores in this vicinity that run
over ten dollars to the ton can by tins
process be worked at profit to the
miner while thousands of tons that
are already mined that do not run
over seven dollars to the ton be made
remuneratlve.-HeyaM.

The case of Orion Us. Pender,
was decided a short time ago by JUS
tice Miller IN the United States Cir.
cult Court at Denver in favor o
defendant. The Orion had been first
located; but the Pendery, located
subsequently on the same territory.
discovered mineral in place before the
discovery by the locators of the Orion
claim.
Justice Miller, in delivering the
opinion of the court, said that the
question submitted to the court is this
Can prospectors on the public mineral
domain acquire any right in which the
law will protect them prior to the dis.
covery of mieral in rock in place
and if so, can plaintiffs, being prior
loca:ors, recover against defendant.
who first discovered mineral on the
ground in controversy? 1t is the opln'
ION of the court that inasmuch as the
plaintiffs allowed the defendant tc
enter upon their claim and within
their boundaries, and there sink .
shaft in which he discovered mineral
in rock in place before discovery by
plaintiffs, and make location thereof
without protest, the defendant now
has the better right. But :he plain
tilfs might have protected their actua
possession of the entire claim by prop
er legal proceedings, prior to the
discovery Of mineral by the defend
ant, or by either party. A prospecto'
on the public mineral domain may
protect himself in the possession o.
tedIs bsss<ssionls( foot-possessions, sc
to speak )while he is searching fol
mineral his possession SO held Is good
as a possessory title against all the
world, except the government of the
United States but ifhe stands by anc
allows others to enter upon his claim
and first discover mineral in rock In
place, the law gives such first discov
erer 4 title to the mineral so frs
discovered, against which the mere
possession of the surface can NOT
prevail.
