young lady proved very firm. She
would listen to no equivocation and no

Their earnestness amused me.

Her dress seemed to me very extrava-

The rest of the company interested

or at least the astronomical part of it,
by the ears, had its inception in a love

than the dry husxs of the story should
be given to the public and that great
Fmany people might be quite as much
interested in the romance as in the
mathematical conclusions reached.
That is why tell the tale in full.
Had Prof. Macadam never owned a
daughter, or had the one appertaining
to him been plain instead of charming,
young Prof. Morgan would never have
broken u metaphoric lance with the
-crusty senior educator. But Prof.
Macadam did have a daughter, Lee

END OF THE DICkERsON NINE
Worked for 15S Years, hut Now Too Dee
to be Operated Probably.

The Dickerson iron mine. which was closed
about three weeks ago at Mine Hill. n. j.. had
been worked for 175 years. 1t was abandoned
because at its present vertical depth OF 1000
feet 1t could no longer be worked profltably.
About 140 men have been deprived OF employ
ment by its closing. On the day Of the formal
stopping OF operations the foreman placed in
the mines extreme depths one bottle with q
list OF names Of men who worked in the big
vein. and another with list Of names Of men
who worked in tho side vein
The land above and around the mine was
taken up as a mining tract in 1718 by John
Reading. Surveyor-General Of the State for
Joseph Kirk bridge. who bequeathed 1t to his
three sons The first ore from the tract was
worked from pockets at the surface and was
carried in saddlebags to Elizabeth. where it
was made into bar iron. to be Transported on
horseback to market. During the Revolu-
ton ore from the mine was converted into
cannon balls for the use Of Gen. WashinGton's
little band OF fighters. The Dickerson family
began to get possession OF the mine in 1 780. and
in 1883 Gov. Dickerson was shipping ore by
the Morris Canal to Pennsylvania furnaces.

thus the Dfckerson mine became acommercial
