Bare Hill Copper.-A number of member:
of the Baltimore Stock Exchange spent Saturday
afternoon last at Bare HILL Baltimore county,
inspecting the copper mine of the Vernon Mining
Company. The visitors were led by Mr.. Geo. c.
Irwin, president of the company, and were enter
tanned at the house of the superintendent, Mr.
John Cooper.
The history of this mine extends over a period
of forty years. DIR. Chas. P. Williams, of Phila-
delphla, well-known mining engineer, says that
his examination of the upper levels "shows that
only small part of the linear extent of the vein
has as yet been worked, and forces the conclusion
that the extension of any all of the levels both
east and west from the shaft, will yield ore fully
as good in quality and as great in quantity as
any yet extracted" The mine is over 700 feet
deep, following the course of the vein, the des-
cent being by steps, at about an angle of 40 de-
grees. number of the guests, arrayed in tbs
overalls of miners, went into the shaft, but only
a few held out long enough to reach the bottom
DIR. Williams says: "From the sole of the 700
foot level, lat which depth the working shaft
bottoms,) and few feet westerly from the shaft
a winze has been carried down for depth of go
feet. From the bottom of this Wine some drift
ing amounting to % feet in length in ally has beer
DONE" These are the deepest workings of the
vein, and the engineer speaks favorably of the
yield and the prospect for further development

ed east and west from the shaft total length O.
1O7 feet" the average width of the vein being a!
feet, with one impregnation throughou the Who'll,
width and with we'll defined walls. He reports
also that the average yield in this part of thu
mine is per cent. metallic copper. In othe
respects the experts report makes favorable
showing. Captain Irwin claims advantages fol-
the ore as desirable flux and being near at hant
to the furnace.
Death of an Estimable Woman.-Mrs
Sarah M. Royston died at the residence of hel
son-in-l law, Mr.. John w. Jackson, in Baltimor,
city, last Saturday, at the advanced age of more

says: "She leaves large family and larger
circle of acquaintance to bow with submission a
this dispensation of the Creator. We sorrow moi
as those without hope of hissfnl renninn he
yond the grave. Her life has been that of de
voted christian. In very early life she gave hel
heart to the Saviour at Methodist camp meeting
thus leaving a record of more than three score
years spent in the service of our Redeemer. She
was remarkable for great amiability and placid
ness never complaining at any affection through
which she had to pass. In hours of creates
agony hercountenance would beam with heavel
smile at the thought of meeting the loved ones
who had passed over the river long years ago
Robert Royston, her companion for more thar
fifty years, was called to reap the reward of his
labors in the fall of 1872, after long life!spen
in active church and charitable works. During
her last hours the spirit of this departed loved one
seemed to be constantly around her. The las
utterances that escaped he lips was his name
Five daughters and three sons survive those saint
ly parents, all of whom are members of the M. E
church. May their lives be such perfect imita-
tons of the great Father, that when He comes t.
make up His jewels not one member will be mis-
sing to join the reunion in heaven. Mrs. Roys
toms remains were inferred at Clynmalart
