The Star Sfixar.

Every observer of the heavens who
knows by name some of the brightest
stars is familiar with the constellation
called the Great Dipper, visible in the
northern sky through the whole night

of seven stars, four in the bowl and
three in the handle, An interesting
discovery has been made by Professor
Pickering, of the Harvard university
observatory, concerning one of the stars
of this beautiful group.
Afizar is the name of the star. 1t is
the middle star IN the handle, is of the
second magnitude, and has attracted
much attention eve. since men began
to study the stars, because even to the
naked eye it is double. 1t has COM

Ben Buffers Autobiography.

| am pleased to know that General Ben
Butler has completed the manuscript of
his autobiography. and that it will now be
put IN type for readers. 1t is proper and
desirable that man of mark like Butler
should write his life himself give his own
account of the features and events of his
career, reveal the purpose and object of
the course he took at times, and give US a
view OF the operations of his brain on
yarlous occasions, as a commander in
the battlefield, or a leader in the
Pohtlcal arena, or an administra-
tive functionary of the government.
1t Is well that he should model
MS own statue, so 10 speak as other sculp-
tors have modelled theirs, that We may get
ms own idea of his Lgure. outlines, visage,
ana traits, and that We ourselves NAV be
aided in forming Judgment of him. Cen
eral butler, who is now IN the f3d year of
ms age, has had remarkable career ever
since he began the practice of iag, half a
century ago, from the time he en-
tered the Massachusetts, legislature
tlli the day he bolted from the
Charleston convention, from the time
ne took the field as brigadier of
militia till that of his rule In New Orleans,
and from the period of his service in con-
gress TIL the year in which he stood as a
presidential candidate. If Ben Butler

Eleven Mighty Veins of Marbl,
Formation.
Development Of the Industry During
the Past Five Years-Supp1y for the
Whole Northwest-How the stone is
Ouarried and the Lime Reduced
The Plant Worth 81 100000.

The lime industry of Western Washing
ton, which is the principal on the PACING
coast, is entirely situate in the Archipelago
de Haro, known as San Juan county.
The principal formation of the islands lies
in the archaan and cretaceous periods, the
latter lying unconformably on the north
west of the archaan rocks, which run
through the center of the county from
northeast to southwest; and in which
formation the limestone or marble of
Western Washington is found. Eleven
principal veins have so far been traced
through the field. Commencing with the
upper strata, the first vein is found to be
a somewhat siliceous white marble with
little cloudiness. This underiies large
bed of green-colored impure limestone.
The second vein, twenty-five feet thick,
grey limestone, is much broken and inter-
sected with trap dikes. The third, twelve
feet thick, is dark-blue limestone, from
which the whitest plasterers' lime has yet
been made. The fourth is much broken
bed of fine clouded marble. The fifth is
the immense ledge now being worked at
Roche Harbor. 1t passes across Orcas
island and through the northwest corner
of San Juan island. This vein has
known thickness of seventy or eighty
feet, and how much thicker it is re-
mains to be proved in the future. This is
a gray, very pure, compact limestone of
the very purest quality for building pur-
poses, and produces the highest all round
grade of lime yet made. On Orcas island
this ledge appears as q huge marble cliff,
at Roche Harbor as large hill. I'M
mediately below this ledge lies very fine
blue limestone of excellent quality. This
ledge No. 8. is almost as thick as No. 5. No.
lis gray limestone vein of great thickness,
which makes the strongest lime of any
ledge, but is rather dark. Its chief crop
ping is seen at Port Langdon, East Sound.

branches, with the completion of the
mileage under construction by the North
ern Pacific and other railroads, viii round
out railroad system in Washington that
will of certainty result in the rapid and
fuller development of its resources. This
is particularly true of the agricultural
and mineral resources of the State.
The line to be constructed from
Seattle to Portland by the Union Pacific
and Great Northern will probably not
result in the development of further re-
sources or new territory; but 1T is much
needed road, because of the crowded con-
dition of traffic on the existing line of the
Northern Pacific. The completion of this
new Portland line, of the Great Northern,
and of that portion of the Northern Pa
citc system lying in King county, will
conduce to the rapid growth and develop
ment of Seattle, and intensity its existing
supremacy as the metropolis of the state.
| do not look for cessation in any of the
above mentioned work except that caused
by the storms of winter. l expect 1t all 10
be pushed to completion after the opening
of the spring season. The Great Northern
road will be complete from Seattle to the
Canadian Pacific by early spring. the line
10 Portland by January 1, 1892 and the
main line across the mountains will prob
ably be finished during 1891, with the
possible exception of tunnel work IN the
Cascade range.
at look for the Great Northern TO build
feeders by the time the main line is COM
pleted into the Big Bend, Palouse and
walla Walla countries, so as to give II
controlling position in handling its share
of the products of the entire wheat belt of
Eastern Washington. That product will
undoubtedly be mainly shipped at Seattle.
ssThe completion of the Great Northern
will make it the shortest, best located and
best constructed transcontinental railroad,
having its eastern termini at ST. Paul and
Duluth. At the latter point the Great
Northern has a steamship line operating
on the great lakes 10 Buffalo. The princi-
nal western terminus and center of the
Coast system will be at Seattle, giving
through freight line, under the control of
one corporation, from Seattle 10 Buffalo.
Thence freight can be shipped by any OF
FIVE trans-trunk lines 10 the Atlantic sea-
board.
"The capitalization of the Great North
ern is so low, and its grades so easy, that
il can afford TO haul freight in competition
with the best trunk lines. The advent OF
the Great Northern into Montana reduced
freight charges about 50 per cent.
II regard the Great Northern as the
most important factor in the development
of the Northwest"

cooler being an immense iron funnel with
sliding doors, placed immeditely under the
furnaces. At Roche Harbor the kilns ara
SO erected that the coolers occupy semi.
circular space under a large shed, which
protects sthe lime and the workmeh
from the weather. The lime is dumped
from the cooler into large iron
trucks, from which it is packed in barrels.
The barrels are then conveyed to another
shed by tramway, where they are headed
up, marked and thence forwarded TO the
large warehouse on the wharf, whence 10

steamers. These works are located OH Z

and entirely land locked, where quite q
heet might be secure from every wind THAI
blows. Most of the lime is shipped Ia
Portland and the Puget sound cities, but
in the near future it will undoubtedly be
shipped to San Francisco, the cost of pro
ducing lime being double in California to
the cost at Roche Harbor. The growth 81
Seattle and the many other cities of Pugeb
sound will probably soon tax all the re.
sources of these works to supply the de-
mand, and works equally large will thes
be formed in other parts Of the county.
The future of the lime business is one ~
the brightest on Puget sound. The de-
mand is good, the profits are large, and
the amount of rock available is restricted
to three or four large qusrries, which ar.
practically inexhaustible, the smallei
lodges being only large enough to supply
one or at most two kilns for a few years
The rock carries from 81 to 81 per cent.
pure carbonate of lime, and makes about
60 per cent. of quicklime.

Among the financial institutions of Seat
tie none deserve more favorable mention
than the subject of this article. Having
bat Just fairly started when the great fires
of 1889 swept away SO much property in
Washington, the well-known character Of
its board of trustees and stockholders had
made its policies SO popular that its losses
at Seattle, Ellensburg and Spokane aggre-
gated nearly 500, 900, the then amount of
its subscribed capital.
With only 10 per cent. of the capital paid
in its stockholders at once decided that
every loss must be paid in full and
promptly. 1t is record for small COM
pany that has never been equalled under
similar circumstances, and fairly Illus
trates the energy, courage and good faith
of the average Seattle business man.
The stockholders subscribed an addi-
tional $4,000, and have since made good
the impairment caused by the losses in the
great tires of 1859, making the present cap
ital $4,000.
The past year has been prosperous one,
the premium receipts having grown rap.
