PUGET SOUND IRON MINES.
(ArRus.]

The town of Irondale, on tho south
ern shore of Port Townsend Bay, has
sprung into existence sinoe its selection
40 the site Of operations fer the Puget
Sound Iron COmpany. Briefly, We may
say that in the spring Of 1879, few en-
terprising persons in Port Townsend
had tests made Of iron ore in Chimacun
valley, . short distance back from the
head Of the bay; and these tests and the
prospect for ore having been estisfac-
tory, the parties referred to cot about
getting a company formed TO operate
the mine. Their first step was to bond
the land on which the ore beds were
found. In July Of that year the Puget
Sound Iron Company was organized for
the purpose Of smelling ore and manu-
featuring pig iron in Jefferson county,
with the principal place Of business at
Port Townsend. Heesrs. James Jones,
E. L. Candy and H. L. Blanchard we're
the first trustees Of the company. Their
work was preliminary TO the permanent
organization Of company with ample
capital to conduct the proposed oper-
. ions. In March, 1850, this permanent
organization vas effected on basis of
100000 capital, With trustees a. fol-

Bv the Hurons the moon is called the
creator of TIE earth and grandmother Of
the sun: in the myths Of the Ottawas it is
an old woman with pleasant white face
the sister of the day star. The Chiqmtos
call the moon their mother, and the Nava-
los make it a rider on Il mule. W here the
planets are worshiped, preference i'll hon
ors is generally accorded to the brighter
and more conspicuous star of day But
the BotocudOs, of Brazil, give the higher
place to the moon, and derive most of the
phenomena of nature from it, and in Cen
tral America and Hayti are also people who
hold the moon in no less honor. CuriOuSly,
these people find their counterparts among
tribes of Western, Southern and Central
Africa. who rejoice with dancing and teaSts
at each appearance of the new moon, ana
expect an improvement of their condition
from its beneticent influence; and they are
not so far removed from the superstitiOus
women of civilized Europe and America
who wait for the increase of the moon to
change their dwelling, to cut their hair, to
be married and to baptize their children.
A belief existed among the ancient Next
cans and PeruvianS the Natchez of the
Mississippi, and the Appalachians OF
Florida, that the sun was the radiant abode 81
| dead chiefs and braves. To the ESquinauX
| of I.ahrador belongs the honor of having
| discovered that the moon was the paradise
| for the good. while the wicked were con-
| signed to a hole in the earth; although

the Polynesians of To&elau may be nearly
abreast of them in the compettion.-lG.
