In England they now have la the
mining districts, excellent institutions
known ~ the Miners Fatal Accident
Relief societies, which we might with
propriety form in this country. Al
though the survivors OF sufferers by great
mining accidents, involving serious loss
life, are often literally provided for by
the meRnificence OF the public, the ma
jority Of the fatal accidents result in the
loss OF one or two lives and IN these cas-
es the survivors are almost or entirely
neglccted-a small contribution Of the
field clubs Or the owners or otEer SQUIRE
es, md perhaps the burial expenses usu-
ally representing all the assistance receiv-
ed The only remedy for this is q min
ers, fatal accident relief society support
cd by the miners coiliery owners, lessons
and the public. Snch an association
not only provides for the few fatal ac-
cidents which awaken public sympathy
but also for those numerous cases which
do not attract attention, but which are
found by experience To entail far more
misery than IL caused byss the great col
lier catastrophes. An those who are in

Heath plstrlet

We have received from Heath Dis
trict, Washington county Idaho, some
very fine samples Of the different ores
OF that highly mineralized locality. The
rock is from the Belmont mine, owned
by James Ruth, and IL full Of chloride.
That from the Greenhorn il also rich,
but more of blue sulphuret character.
Some iron ore sent Is evidently cap to
richer deposits beneath. The district
was discovered in 1876 by James Ruth
and Tom Heath, who located the Bel
mont, Greenhorn and other lodges which
have been worked ever since. The
Lodges are in porphyry and syenite and
sometimes slate or limestone, but the
formation is the best for rich deposits
Of ore we are acquainted with. The
miners there have proved the richness
OF their Lodges and it only remains for
capital to take hold and work them 1u-
diciously to prove the district one OF the
richest in the country. John Atwell
