ALUM IN NEVADA.
A Great Chance for the Establishmen Of q
Baking-Powder Factory.

A Great Chance for the Establishment Of q
Baking-Powder Factory.
In various portions of Nevada and
California deposits and springs which
deposit alum have been found, and the
article could be produced in any de.
sired quantity. Out in Elk County,
near Tuscarora, cave is spoken of as
having been discovered many years
ago in which is a chamber, the roof,
sides and floor of which are composed
of solid mass of crystallized alum.
Two miles west of Steamboat Springs,
In Washoe County, is an extensive de-
post of the mineral aluminium, in
which there are plenty of pure alum
deposits. In the upper levels of the
old Empire Mine, in Gold Hill proper,
seven or eight years ago, parties ex-
ploring among the old drifts found at
one point large masses and crystals of
alum adhering to the cap and side tim
bers which had evidently been de-
posted from alum springs seeping
from above. Some years ago tunnel
was run through from the present main
shaft of the Imperial Mining Company,
125 feet from the top of the shaft,
through to the tunnel toll road, a dis
lance of $50 feet, under the foreman
ship of James O'Donnel. He found a
nice, clear-looking spring or seepage
of water about half way from the Shaft
to the mouth of the tunnel, which, on
tasting, was intensely sour, and proved
to be pure alum water. 1t is there yet,
with plentiful incrustations surround
ing it. If anybody wants TO start an
alum oaking-powder factory they can
find plenty Of the acid material in the

WhHt Became Of Aunt Doxy's
Letter of Remonstrance.
"What do you wish, Barty O'Flani-
gan?"
Miss Sarah Wilhelmina Appleby put
her head out at the window and spoke
rather impatiently.
Barty O'Flanigan was a small boy
with big basket and bigger voice,
while his brogue was something won
derful to hear.
It's the foine fat turkey the mis-
tress is afther promisin' me fur me
Thanksgivin' I'm wantin'," replied
Barty. ''Shure, didn't ketch her ould

me, sez she, 'Barty, SEE she, come up

keys fur your Thanksgivin' dinner.
SEE she. An it's here l am, Miss, be
the same token"
Miss Sarah Wilhelmina remembered
her aunt's promise. ''But Tim has
gone to the station" she said. You'll
have to come again when he can catch
one for YOU"
AN why couldn't I ketch it me-
self, an me mother waitin' to pluck
the feathers aft it, an the misthress
sayin' 1 could have me pick?" queried
Barty insinuatingly.
90 don't know whether you could
catch one, Barty; you're SO small"
said Sarah Wilhelmina doubtfully.

displaying them with pride, IAN / can

Thanksgiving; and Martha Washington
was down cellar and Name had gone
on an errand.
II know Aunt Doxy wouldn't wish
him to be disappointed" she said to
herself; and then she added aloud:
'Oh, well, Barty; you may catch one If
you can; all the turkeys are out in the
field; and with that Sarah Wilhel-
nina rushed off to her train, while
Barty betook himself to the field where
the doomed Thanksgiving turkeys were
enjoying the frosty November air.
Two hours afterward Miss Eudoxia
Appleby. the mistress of Pine Hill
Farm, reached home with her small
niece, Rebecca Ellen, and her nephew
Thaddeus.
I'm almost sorry let Sarah Wilhel-
nina CO." said Aunt Doxy. sadly.
I'm afraid we shall have very lonely
Thanksgiving"
As they usually had very jolly
Thanksgiving at Pine Hill Farm,
Becky and Thaddy grew sad also, and
Becky. looking wistfully out of the
window at little house at the foot OF
the hill, said:
Better wife the people at the cot
tage; then t wouldn't be lonesome.
Aunt Doxy spoke severely, almost
sharply. Becky" she said, ''those

painted it in red and olive and yellow.

Half an hour passed by, and then
Becky said, looking enviously toward
the cottage, with her nose flattened
against the window-pane: Il wonder
why Thaddy doesn't come back?"
Aunt Doxy looked up in great alarm.
Hadn't he come back?" she asked.
How could she have forgotten him?
But surely they could not be wicked

his opinion that Rupert was good

in spite Of the melancholy fate of the
