THE CHARLES MIX CURIOSITY.

Mitchell Republican,. +. Gilbert of
the FIRST National, hands us a letter from
Capt. II. X. Brinkerhof OF Fort Randall,
which contains the following information
concerning the Charles Mix phenomenon
which has caused so much comment on
the part Of the press. II is the first relia-
BILE information We have seen aud will uu-
doHbtedly be of Interest to our readers:
visited the "Charles Mix volcano" one
day LAST week accompanied by two other
officers as board" to sit on the crater
We found that great heated mass exists
under ground involving subsistence Of
the ground in deci led manner, covering
an area of about three fourths OF an acre.
and indications of subterraneous distur-
bance invoking some twenty-five or thirty
acres more. We concluded that the heat
is due to burning bed Of Ignite. That
is ali there is Of the matter. The Ignite
is full of little ropnded masees Of iron py-
rites, and it is probable that the action of
the water and air upon this mineral has
formed sulphate of iron (yi,rioD and the
beat thus eDgendered has set the coal on
fire. sulphur fumes are abundant, and
almost suffocating when the surface is
disturbed The heat is intense though
there is no flames. Upon removing n foot
or two OF the surface the heat will ignite
straw, paper, etc II is an interesting
phenomenon, and well worth a visit. 1t
is usfortunsie, however, as possibly some
of tile Ignite might have been Of use for
domestic purpos 9.
