MINTs AND ETNING.

st. Louis, have been examining
the mines at White Oaks recently,
and have returned home with the
outlook. Investment will probably
follow.-Ncc N%erlcdn.
c. Ballard, Of the Pueblo Smelt-
ingand Refining company, is in the
Organs to purchase ore.
The Silver Star mine, in the Or
gans. is being worked steadily and
is showing up some fine looking
ore.
The recent course Of the manipu-
lators Of Sierra Grande has been
provocative of moro blaSphemy
than has been o~ccasioncd by any
incident in the market since the
memorable tumble in State Lines.
If this stock should not recover, it
will 60 hard with the mining bro
kers, most Of whom have recon-
menccd operations.
A new mining district will be or
ganizcd in Hill Canon.
Reduction works are to be cree
ted at Kingston.
Kingston has abundance Of water
and plenty of cheap fuel
The Blach Range says: Alex.
Won Wcndt, of Boulder, Col, has
taken a bond oil the Silver Noun
tain mine, ON upper Chloride creek.
The instrument has received the
signature of w. f. Caldwell, who
represents half the property, and
the two other owners are being in
tcrviewcd with a probability Of the
deal being consumatcd. BY the
terms OF the contract Mr.. Won
Wendt pays 800, 600, the purchase
price, in one year from date. In
the meantime he will work the
mine, extracting and shipping ore,
and give the owners fifteen per
cent Of the gross returns from the
mill-rups. When the papers are
signed by all parties interested, the
purchaser will put on force ofmcn
at work and Immediately begin
shipping ore to the reduction
works. With the present road up
to the gulch, the ore will Of neces-
sity be packed on burros, a dis
tauce of ten miles, and that will
entail considerable expense. How
ever, the ore is rich. 1t runs one
hundred and forty ounces in silver
with a large percentage Of copper,
on an average, across a three and a
half foot ledge Of almost solid
metal. That it will make a good
mine there is little doubt.
On the east side Of the ella river
a rich mineral lode has been dis
covered. The owners are iubilant
over the new find and as they are
practical mining men their judy
ment may be relied on.
It appears from recent obscrva-
ton, by DIR. F~leiuman, OF Iscrlohn,
known to our readers as the invcn-
tor Of a process for welding nickel,
that the formation Of ore veins need
not necessarily occupy such long
periods Of time as we are generally
inclined to accord it. DIR. Fleit-
man gave his experience as follows:
Some two years ago he had the
bottom Of a stable pit filled and
rammed with common clay con-
tanning iron. The pit has served
its purpose for storing dung for
about two years, during which
time, occasionally, to prevent over
heating, water mas been poured
over it lately it became necessa-
ny to remove the pit, when, to the
great surprise Of DR.. Flcitman, he
found the clay had entirely changed
III character, and had become
white /; it was, moreover, divided
in numerous directions by assures
from one twenty-hfth inch to one
sixth inch in width, which were
filled by compact iron pyrites. The

There is not very serious disproportion
in the distribution of clerkships and other
places among the States where the Repub-
lican party is strong. New York and Ohio
seem to have little in excess Of their
quotas, but the excess is not great Illinois
does not get quite its share. Colorado and
Indiana have q little more than belongs to
them, but tho personal equation must be
