Church Dedication.

The Methodist church OF o xford
having been re-modeled. re-furnish
ed and beautifully finished up wa.
ra-dedicated on Sunday last. Lorg
before the hour fer services the
congregation composed OF every
denomination began to assem- bic
and many persons failed to even
get standing room. The pulpit
was occupied by Bishop q 3 Gal.
Ioway and Revs. J j Wbea. and
k III Standefer, the pastor.
The sermon of the occasion was
delivered by Bishop Gailov
The vast audience listened with
wrapt attention to every word
that fell from tho eloquent lips Of
this gifted son and humble follow
er of his Mas.sr, each regetriug
that his discourse had ended 80
soon. We feel that it would be
presumption for Us to attempt To
com ment upon the sermon OF this
noted divine and loved sou If cur
church anu State. His words will
lInger In the minds OF all who
heard him that day and will add
encouragement to many weary
hearts, who hope if not permitted
To often lister to his wsrls Of Wis
dom and counsel here, TO meet him
in the Great Beyond.
It being announced that the
Bishop would preach again a:
night a vast throng greeted him
as in the morning and were favor
ed with an eloquent sermon.
Sunday was a proud day for the
Methodists of Oxford who feel
Justly elated that after slope de
terred" they al oIce more gather
around their own loved altar, and
all of our people relgicc with them
IN having secured such an elegant
house of worship. In this c nnee-
ton too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon Rev. X u Standefer
the past r. who, coming among US
last fall a stranger, found u half
finished structure and a scattered
flock. By his untiring energy and
efforts be pushed the work forward
to completion and is justly enti-
tied to the deepest gratitude Of his
congreg ltion. May he receive 4
rich reward for his labors.

Tin in the Black Hills.

A prospector whose business leads
him through the various mining dis
tricts of the country, has just returned
| from the recently discovered tin dis
| tricts of the Black Hills, Dakota.
1.-The discovery of tin deposits be-
ing made there are marvellous" said he.
Hitherto the worlds supply of tin
has come from Australia, Tasmania,
England, and Cornwall, Wales, forty
thousand miners being regularly en-
| ployed in the last named district. The
United States consumes two-thirds of
the worlds product. The Black
Hills discoveries, beginning two years
ago, have developed so abundantly
that English capitalists, or rather tin
| monopolists, have attempted to corner
all the Hills mines, but the discover
les are outgrowing their financial
ability.
'Geologically the veins of mineral
have general northwesterly trend,
with slight underlie to the north
eastward, and are true assures. The
cassiterite or tinstone occurs in two
forms throughout the veins of the
Black Hills. In some the tinstone is
distributed with great regularity
through mass of orthoclase and
albite feldspar quartz and muscovite
mica, constituting from 3 to 10 per
cent of the entire rock mass or vein
matter. The tin ore is remarkably
free from other minerals, of high
specific gravity, and its easy and per-
feet concentration can be economically
accomplished on tais account. The
cassiterite also occurs in crystals and
minute grains disseminated through a
translucent quartz and albite feldspar.
This class of tin ore will concentrate 4
to y per cent of the entire mass of
rock. The mineral veins are very
large, some from twenty to 1873 feet in
width, and through this vast amount
of rock the tin ore is constantly and
regularly distributed. In the tinstone
deposit section the hills rise to an ele-
walton of from 600 to 800 feet above the
HGighbOring streams, and the adYan-
tages thus offered viii enable the ore
to be mined very economically. Those
Black Hills contain the richest deposits
of tin in the know world. The entire
world can be supplied from those mex
haustible deposits. They are so rich
tllitl uSdl JIlC SGI1dCN UldU ulillCS Oh
other countries cannot compete with
them. This tin is better than that of
Cornwall, as analysis shows it to be
free from tungsten, bismuth, arsenic,
and titanum. 1t contains a small
quantity of silver, not sufficient to pay
for extracting, but enough to give the
tin peculiarly bright luster. The tin
district comprises the counties of Law
renee, Pennington, Custer, and covers
a large part of the Black Hills. The
heaviest discovered deposits are in
Warren's Gulch, near Harney's Peak,
at Hill City ana in Sundays Gulch.
The metallic tin can be melted out in
an ordinary blacksmith's forge. The
woods are literally full of tin prospec-
tors, and in my judgment the early
future will develop there New Corn
wall, which will become the mining
wonder of the world. > Chicago
