TIE klMBALL IRON ORE.
BicuNiiie New Ara. |

Last Saturday, lit company with Dr :.
T.. II. lIngferd and Mr.. Il. j. Monk
we rode over to the residence of Rev
W.P. ktmbail, With n vicw to looking
over his iron ore grounds, ana thinking
that perhaps "" would learn something
OF the results developed by boring.
The machinery and drill had not ar
rived but we had the pleasure of find
ing MIR. kimball at home and also of
meeting Mr. Barker, a scientific geolo
sist and practical mineralogist, who
gave us Il good deal of Information
about mineral deposits and his opinion
relative to the quality and quantity of
the deposit ofiron ore on Mr.. Kimballs
estate, which was very encouraging
and of course gratifying. He is per-
fcctly satisfied with the quality of the
ore from analysis and smclting Of a
piece of 1t, aud is so confident of the
quantity of the deposit that he says he
is willing to invC st his all In the enter.
prise; and no man could give stronger
evidence OF his confidence than this.
After partakinS of the hCspitalitics
of Mrs. Kimball, in the form of good
dinner, we took 4 hurried walk over
some of tho grounds, over which is
scattered iron ore bouldrrs, Crom the
size of Il tnau's head to several tons in
weight and from these Indications
and the outcroppings around the bases
of the hills, we very naturally conclude
| that there is underlying IA large tract
of land n thick bod Of very rich iron
ore.
One of the most promising features
of this deposit is the absence of all
other minerals, which renders it capa
bic of the production OF steel, white its
porous condition rcndcrs il rnsily brok-
en- and smcltcd, and the silicatc is of
such a nature as to require but little
rNtraneors flax ia the smelling.
MIR. Barker, who hos no personal
interest in the matter, has no doubt
whatever rs to the satisfactory test
with the drill and the erection of Il
thirty-tivc tons per day foundry on the
estate at an early day by the company
he repre- in this investigation and
it would he absurd to suppose that n
man OF his profession would stake his
reputation on an uncertainty or mere
suppositi0n. But he did express con.
siderable surprise that mon of capital
III this vicinity had not long since
organized company and located II
plant upon this mine.
The timber for the production of
charcoal j. abundant on this place
just as 1t is all over this country
and 1t continues to grow aud Mr..
Barker confirmed what we have pre-
viously stated, that charcoal iron was
the very best, and that the production
OF charcoal Is cheaper than that of coke
-fhr 81 l.,
to be used in making iron. The fact
Is, under the present system, the saving
OF turr@h'in" pays for making the
coal.
Ihc starting .: this foundry will
| only be the beginning of many other
such enterprises in Onr country; and
therefore Shou!,! rec i've the encourages
tnrnt aud aSSistancc of all our people
who have The means To invest in IL.
They should be anxious TO secure stock
in the company and assist in Develop
ing this important resource of Lruisi.

IMPROVED BURGLARS TooLs.-The twin
sets of burglars tools found in the coalshed
on Osborne street Chicago, are now on e4-
hibaion in that city. They are undoubted'
" the most complete set of tools ever manu-
notured. The 'kits'' comprised two com
bination drills, three three. quarter inch
screws, one top wrench, q short wrench, five
taps of different sizes, ten twist drills or
"bit.," two punches, file, square socket
jackscrew, ten highly tempered wedges,
thirty percussion caps, ten yards OF fuses, a
pair of handouts and five sticks OF oyna-
mite. The combination drills are most re-
markabe contrivances. They are go deVis-
ed that they can be attached to the comoi-
nation knob and operated around it for q
radius of FIVE inches, no pressure being nc
cessary, the adjustment having sufhcien, !,
weight to pierce an inch plate OF chilled
steel in four minutes. With one of these
the combination of almost any safe could De
completely cut out inside of half an hour
There is no clew to the owner or maker OF
the tools, but they were undoubtedly turned
out by an artistic mechanic.
