The Republican, rep orting the annual
meeting of the Queen Bee Mining Con-
pany, says: "The company have made
arrangements with the authorities at
the Dakota school Of mines whereby
they are to have two tons of Queen Bee
ore treated by the patent table pr ocess.
1t will cost the company SIS per ton to
deliver the ore at the school of mines
and So a ton to have it treated. That
will be but a mere ~bagatelle, however,
If the results should prove satisfactory,
as in that case the machinery now at the
Welcome mine, Bald Mountain district
Lawrence county, will be brought down
at once and starated up full blast"

A Bottle Making Machine.

Like many other Industries, the work
Of bottle making has Of late years suf-
fered 80 much from foreign competition
that it has almost been driven from
this country, Germany and Belgium be-
ing the largest producers. 1t Is hoped,
however, that the lost industry may be
again revived here, these hopes being
founded upon a lately invented ma
chine, which will turn out bottles far
moro expeditlously than they can be
made by hand, and at a tithe Of the
cost. This machine is the invention Of
Mr.. Howard M. Ashley, and is being
worked at the glass manufactory Of
.Messrs. Sykes, Macvay &C.,, of Cas-
tleford. In this machine the molten
glass is poured into a mold, and the ap-
plication Of air under pressure dlstends
the glass and causes 1t to fill the inter-
ior Of that mold. It is believed that
whom this machine is complete, with
six or eight molds, 1t will be possible by
1t to make twenty-four bottles per
minute.

What O. Blizzard Is.

A blizzard Is simply strong, cold
wind moving unchecked over leagues Of
unpacked snow. 1t sweeps up that
which has previously fallen, carries it
away In the color of vast shaken
fleece, distributes it so that almost each
atmospheric atom has its little particle,
and drives along all with steady fury.
Whether fresh snow is falling eau
seldom be determined by people out in
a real blizzard. AS far as the eye can
see upward, and that is but little
space, the hurry Of minute pellets hurl-.
ing across an unrevealed sky prevails,
and the hurrying sameness on every side
is varied only by occasional tall and
bending wraiths where the wind whirls
In shifting columns. A confusion Of
the senses, comparable to none produced
otherwise; appalls one submitted to the
enormous and binding force Of such q
snow-t1lled wind, and scarcely. a distinct
thought remains except that the awful
cold forbids crouching for rest and
shelter. To our personal knowledge,
one In such storm keeps with difficulty
upon a railway track lifted three feet
above the surrounding prairie, and may
be lost by five steps the wrong way
after stumbling down from the en-
bankment, which, being white, becomes
Instantly invisible. It is recorded on
good authority that bands of teamsters
halting with their horses have been
showed over thirty feet deep by bliz-
Yards, and have survived by beating
out breathing chambers till the ces--
sation Of the storm enabled them to
dig themselves to upper air. The
formation of drift about halted
man, or horse, or sleigh, is sometimes
wonderfully speedy, and the drift, once
established, grows by virtue OF its
obstructiyeness. In some we'll authenti-
Gated cases lost persons have been found
by the drifts over them and dug. out
alive, in others the spring has revealed
corpses still unthawed among the last
white relics Of winter. In billiards.
people have often been unable to SEQ
across the street of q northwest town,
and sometimes men lose their direction
in trying to reach the opposite side Of
well-built way. ,'
