iron in fifteen minutes. The hcmatise'
ore was broken into small fragments,
and placed In q crucible. As soon as
the ore was at red heat, reacting
substance, not stated, as Iatent is to
be had for the discovery, was added,
aud in five minutes the liquefaction was
complete, the product being iron. The
reaoting substance is stated to cost but

A new settlement is being established
near Elizabeth Lake, and appears to be
very prosperous. Part of the land is
Railroad land and part Government
land. The soil is fine, and with plenty
of water at hand. the settlers are making
good crops Of barley, corn, alfalfa and
potatoes. 1t is also fine country for
deciduous fruits of all kinds, wheat and
grapes. The elevation is about 3200
feet above the sea, and the climate very
salubrious. This is the latest of our Los
Angeles colonies, and appears like all
our other colonies. to be fi9urishing, and
destined to be an important settlement.
