USE OF ELECrRICITY IN IRON MINING.
An application OF electricity to iron
mining is now proposed. l. consists in
the crushing Of magnetic iron ore by
crusher and rolls, End ef5ecli1g aepsr1-
lien CT the Gre iro0 the gsngue by means
ct the dynsmes. An experimental plant
is TO be erected at ore Of the Marquette
mines, and the machinery best adapted
ior work or lsrge scale tested. With
the large waste rock piles Of magnetic
or that range, due regard 10 economies
and isir prices for ore, it is thought ths.
there should &c developed q psylng bust

Indisn birch. The most elastic ig the
temarack. the white or 'shellbsrk hickory
standing fsr below It. The lssst elsstic
snd the lowest in specific gravity is the
wood Of the Ficus sureS. The highest
specific gravity, upon which in &c neral
depends value as fuel, is attained By the
blueWood Of Texas.
