CLIFF JEWELLERS.
A Rich Field for tho ArcheOlog gist in
Southern Colorado.

Rich Field for the ArcheOlogist In
southern Colorado.
One of the most attractive portions
of Colorado, if not in the entire West,
is that part Of the State in which are
found the cliff dwellings of q long ex-
tinct race. The district in which these
ruins are located covers an area of
nearly six thousand square miles.
chiefly in Colorado, but which includes
narrow belts in the adjacent territories
of New Mexico, Utah and Arizona.
The ruins of this region, like most
others of the extreme West and South.
are the remnants in great measure OF
stone structures. 1t is evident, how
ever, that a great portion OF the viii
lagos and dwellings of the lowlands
which. comprise this district have been
of material other than stone. frequently
doubtless, OF rubble and adobe com.
bined.
The cliff houses conform in shape to
the floor of the niche or shelf on which
they are built. They are of firm, neat
masonry, and the manner in which they
are attached or cemented to the cliffs
is simply marvellous. Their construc-
ton has cost great deal Of labor, the
rock and mortar of which they are built
having been brought hundreds OF feet
up the most precipitous places. They
have much more modern look than
the valley and cave remains, and are
probably in general more recent. be-
longing rather to the close than to the
earlier parts Of a long period of occu-
patton.
1t seems probable that a rich reward
awaits the fortunate arch9ologist who
shall be able to thoroughly investigate
the historical records that lie buried in
the masses OF ruins, the unexplored
caves, and the still mysterious burial
places of the Northwest. But it is quite
improbable that any certain light will
ever be thrown on tho origin of this
curious race or it's history.-Cincinnati

NICKEL MOUNTAIN ORES.
An Interesting Description Furnished by
DIR. Day In His Latest Work.


DIR. bay In His Latest Work.
The interesting ores of Nickel Noun
tain. Oregon, are described in DR..
Days new volume Of Mineral Re-
sources of the United States"
THE mountain has an elevation of
$500 feet above Riddle, or about $500
feet above the sea. At an elevation of
1000 feet above the valley, the nickel
ores are first found; and from this
height, on all sides of the mountain to
the very summit, are found beds of ore
covering areas from one to twenty
acres, and averaging six feet in thick
ness. The ores are invariably found
either in bowlders disseminated
through highly ferruginous earth, or
in stratified bed underlaid by an al
tered serpentinc. In places the ore in
these beds is not more than a foot in
thickness, but in others it will run to a
depth of thirty fe ct. Nothing like VEIN
formation has yet been encountered.
Occurring with the nickel ores is
chronic iron and chalcedonic silicia-
Sometimes the latter contains nickel
oxides, forming the beautiful gem
stone crysoprase. Nearly all the
hydsated nickel and magnesium sill
Gates are found in greater or less
quantities at these mines. No nickel
minerals other than the silicates have
been found. The ore bodies have been
developed by humorous cuts, drifts.
shafts and quarries, all OF which are
in ore that in bulk contains five per
cent. of nickel Some two thousand
tons of this class OF ore are now on
the various dumps. No works have
vet been erected for treating the ore,
but it is confidently expected that the
year 1888 will SEQ this inaugurated.
"a specimen of the unaltered
country rock from Nickel Mountain
was determined by Mr.. George T. Mer-
rill, of the National Museum at Wash
ington, as chiefly olivine, with min
eral OF the pyroxene group, probably
bronzite. The nickel silicateS found
near Webster, jackson County. N. c.,
are the result of the decomposition of
an olivine rock, and the occurrence in
Southern Oregon can be similarly eX-
planned. The association with chrome
ores adds to the analogy between the
two occurrences.
Lately Prof. F. w. Clarke has fur
thor substantiated the view advanced
by Mr.. Biddle as to the genesis of these
silicates OF nickel. and has extended
the comparison to the silicates from
New Caledonia"

1t is mystery to the profession of
women journalists how Mrs. Frank
Leslie ever manages to get through her
work, dressed as she always is in her
Office. When man has d special piece
of writing on hand, he throws his coat
off, runs his feet in a pair of old shoes
or loose slippers, opens his vest, and
buckles down to his task with his arms
spread over half the desk room. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox puts on Recamier

under her arms, does her feet up in
cork sandals, lies back In big willow
rocker, and writes with her copy paper
to a thirty-two inch

top of her house, where her study is To-

Even Hattie Hubbard Aver has her
long, half-fitting princess. with q fedora
that permits an absence of corsets or
reeds, and thus robed she gets through
as much work as any ten women of or
dinary industry in the field of labor.
But Mrs. Leslie prefers to sit at her
desk from nine until three o'clock,
dressed in French costume that is
stayed and stiffened till it fits without
wrinkle or crease. Her sleeves are
waist could be spanned by necklace.
All her gowns are black silk in gros-
grain or mOire, and she has an aSSort-
ment of little black aprons made of
white lace. She never wears a collar
or ruche OF any sort the finish for
all her high-neck dresses consisting of

than 14o pounds in her bath robe.
These little shoes are after the Spanish,
made of black kid and laced, tipped
and stripped with silver.
Running under her white oak desk
is steam pipe which coils for a foot
rest, and here Mrs. Leslie sits toasting
her feet as she writes letters, poems or
specials for out-of-town papers. A fan
of painted feathers is always within
reach. and when an inspiration is
wanted the raven quills are put in
motion.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

girls to give heed to the following rules
written by an English lady of rank for
her own youthful countryw omen:
WHAT TO AVOID.
A loud, weak, affected, whining.
harsh or shrill tone of voice.
Extravaganza in conversation-such
phrases as awfully this "beastly

"hate' for dislike" etc.
Sudden exciamations of annoyance.
surprise and joy-often dangerously
approaching to female swearing AS
"bother!' .'gracious!" show jolly!"
Yawning when listening to any one.
Talking on family matters even to
bosom friends.
Attempting any vocal or instrumental
piece of music that you can not exc
cute with ease.
SIOoollS yOuh ASUuSAc O.
Making short, sharp nod with the
head. intended to do duty as bow.
WHAT TO CULTIVATE.
An unaffected, low, distinct, silver
toned voice.
The art of pleasing those around
you, and seeming pleased with them
and all they may do for YOU.
The charm of making little sacrifices
quite naturally. as if of no account to
yourself.
The habit of making allowances for
the opinions, feelings, or prejudices of
others.
An erect carriage-that is, a sound
body.
A good memory for faces, and facts
connected with them, thus avoiding
giving offense through not recognizing
or bowing to people, or saying to them
what had best been left unsaid.
The art OF listening without impa-
tience to prosy takers, and smiling at
the twice-told tale or joke.-N. w.

COLUMBUS, Ind, Jan. 5-This morning,
about 3o'clock, as the mixed train on the
Columbus, Hope g. Greensburg railroad was
about two miles out from here, on its reg
ular trip from Cincinnati three ilucs in the
engine blew out with terrible force. The
fireman, Louis Foster, who was in the act of
replenishing the fire, and Arch Black,
the head brakeman, who was standing
at his side were blown out of the cab. The
train was moving at the rate of about forty
miles per hour, and the men received a ter
rible fall. Both of Fosters arms were
broken, the bones of his left being severed
in two separate places. His body and face
were terribly scalded by the escapin steam
and water, and he was also internally in
jured. The right arm of Black was broken,
and his hands and face were badly burned.
Charles Doyle, the engineer, happened to be
on the opposite side from the explosion,
and he saved himself by taking refuge on
the steps of his engine. The wounded men
were brought to this city and had their in
juries dressed by the railroads physicians.
1t is thought Fosters injuries will prove IA
tai. He is married, and has a wife and
three children living at Greensburg. Black
is unmarried. The engine, which is badly
wrecked, has been in service many years.
