A TEST FOR SILVER.

The following test for silver is
given by scientific journal: Mix
l OF. of powdered bichromite of
potash, 2 OF. water, and 6 OF. nitric
acid, and preserve in a close bottle.
By means of the glass stopper a
drap of this solution may be applied
to the metal surface and Immediately
wiped off with damp sponge. II
the surface is pure silver blood-red
mark will be produced on it, due to
a union Of chronic acid with the
silver. On platinum no. effect is
produced; on German silver it makes
a brown mark, removed by damp
sponge, and on britannia metal a
brownish black mark; but with nc
metal is the same coloration pro
duced as on pure silver. Other SO.
lutions which can be similarly used
for testing silver are water 2 or.
sulphuric acid 3-4 o., chromate o.
potash 1-2 or; or, water l 1-2 or.
sulphuric acie 1-2 o., and with prac
tice it will be easy to recognize the
distinctive coloration of silver and te
estimate the degree of purity in &C
cordance with the rule that the colol
produced will be deeper as the silver
is purer. When chemical tests are
applied to metal surfaces it is abso
lutely necessary that these surfaces
should be clean.-Mineral.

The Cream of Society.

The town of Red Lodge is as
sombre, melancholy, solemn and dis
passionate as a sitting hen. The
epidemic of inactivity in business in
Helena, Butte, Missoula and Great
Falls has struck us with the force of
a double geared cyclone. There are
people here as blue as an indigo bag
on wash day. 1t makes us laugh a
big horse-laugh that would take the
turpentine out of pine stump.
For the love of everything that is
sacred, and holy and angelic-be
patient. Some people are unreason-
able. The boom can't be on all
the time. The boom wants rest,
business occasionally wants inert
ness, and all the community at times
wants a languid and tranquil dream
of bliss. There is a serene, calm,
sober and cold dignified silence in
town, and although it is nauseatine
to our acute and subtitle sensibilities
we must take our medicine like the
rest of the Montana towns. The
Red Lodge Picket is always cheer
full and hopeful and, if prosperit.

Der door, we would get hightoned

too small for us, and we could nc

also despatched. This is but a

ENGLISH MINING ADvENTURER

We refer not to the actual miner,
but to the adventurer in shares of
companies organized in London, by
Englishmen to mine for ores of the
precious and superior metals, such
as silver, gold, tin, copper and lead
in every part of the earth, howsoever
remote or far away from the British
islands. There would seem to be no
spot, wherever in the jungles of Asia,
the torrid wastes of Africa or the
loftiest peaks of the Andes and not
morasses of the coasts of Central
America, that does not supply bait
sufficiently attractive to tempt sub
scriptions in London to shares in
a mining venture in that particular
quarter. The latest illustration of
this fact is afforded over the Atlantic,
by the "Cayllorna Silver Mining
Company" the property of which is
located in the Peruvian Andes at an
elevation 10000 feet above the sea
level and where, as was naively adj
rnitted by the chairman of the meet,
ing of stockholders, "The almost
phere is very trying for Europeans
the mill and plant for the reduction
of ore, however, are to be placed B.,
600 feet lower, in order to secure
water power for the plant. A bat
terry of stamps has been dispatched
"because in doing that, the mana
gers could not do much harm,
as was plead. Yet, as there were
confessedly rational doubts existing
as to the utility of stamps for thi
ore, 'other means for crushing tn
ores" were also sent including
plant for 'schlorination and roasting
of the ore. The ore extracted

PROSPECTING BY d.
DRILLS.
DIAMOND

The diamond drill now being
placed in Chicago Park by the Pitkin
Mining company is destined to rev.
olutionize the past mode ofprospect-
ing for mineral in the lime belt con-
tiguous to Pitkin, says the Miner:
This drill is Sullivan Diamond
Core drill with capapacity of bor-
ing 1000 feet and taking out per-
feet core of the foundation to that
depth of Il inches in diameter. The
machinery consisrs of 25-horse
power boiler and double cylinder
engine with double duplex pumps,
also drill, drill rods, casing and
a complete outfit of the latest i'm
proved pattern. The fact has been
demonstrated within the past two
years that prospecting with a dia-
mond drill is the only true and &C.
onomical mode of proving the exis-
tence of ore. When an ore body
is located wife core drill, it's size
and richness determined, no difficulty
is experienced in raising sufficient
capital to purchase a hosting plant
and all necessary funds to to sink q
shaft to the ore. Mining then is
reduced to a certainty that large and
profitable returns will be made or
the capital invested.

SEEING INTO THE ROCKS.

In a literal sense it is true that
one man can see into the rocks as
far as another. But in a figurative
sense it is not true. The man who
has studied the science of geology,
intelligently and thoroughly, knows
that he can often tell with absolute
certainty what can be found in many
places beneath the surface, where
the eye cannot see. He is like the
physician looking into the body.
He can't see into it, but he knows
what is there. The structure of the
earth is pretty well understood. Its
regularity and its variations are so
we'll known that geologists are con-
stantly telling what lies out of reach
of the eyes. But there is much yet
to learn. Nature has thousands of
mysteries and tangles that are not
unravelled. But slowly, one by one,
they are becoming understood. The
microscope and the spectroscope
have come to the chemists aid, and
all together they are revealing Sc
crets scarcely suspected few years
ago.
But they have not yet told us
Natures secrets about ore deposits,
or given us an unerring key to un-
lock her hidden storehouse of wealth.
But they are making advances.
They have in some places shown
that there is an intimate connection
between the composition of country
or wall rock and deposits of ore.
They have shown that there is far
more probability of finding rich ore
in acid than in basic rocks of GER
tain character. These things are a
trail which followed up, may lead to
unsuspected truths. Little by little
they are adding facts, the sum Of
which is of vast value.
They have pretty conclusively ex-
plored the old iron clad theories
which ascribe all veins to certain
causes, and closed the door on all
except those. The idea that veins
are branches of a great deposit that
lies near the center of the earth, and
that therefore they increase in rich
mass as they increase in depth, i:
relegated to the century gone by
The theory that all veins were once
open assures, is another dead one
Heat, cold, electricity; sublimation
infiltration and flowing waters are
all recognized as agents that have
worked and are working in Gods
great laboratory as they work in the
puny limitations that man has Great
ed to study his work. Just how
they worked, what the influence O
each one was in special cases, ane
how surroundings modified results

by the most brilliant intellects
Their discoveries are leading to th'
end sought. No one knows thei
imperfections, and the missing link
in the chain, so we'll as he who un
derstands them best. He know
that they may never reach the en'

are proving untrue the statemen

The San Antonio Scientific society
met last night. Maj Dutton in the
chair. After reading and adoption of
the minutes OF last meeting the report
of the committee on constitution was
read. They reported progress and
suggested that the constitution of the
Philosophical society of Washington,
D. c., be adopted. After lengthy
discussion it was decided to favor
such a plan, at the same time not to
act upon it until the complete report
of the committee was completed. The
meeting then adjourned subject to the
call of the committee.

AUSTIN LETTER
AUSTIN, Tex, April is, 1892.


Auetin is dull now since the legisla-
ture adjourned, that is it has gone
back on its old self. with added sug-
gestions of spring ennui and summer
stagnation of business.
Lent being now over the society
element, realizing the loss OF forty
days which might have been those of
wild enjoyment, is making feeble
effort to get on its feet again by the
organization of picnics, etc, and the
anticipation of a "swelP' german on
Wednesday night.
Yes, Austin is duh since the solons
are gone for they imported certain
life TO things in general, and more
over gave us something to talk about.
Not ouly did they liven things up at
the capitol but the whole town felt
their presence, and all board
ing and lodging houses were
filled to their fullest capacity
and the theatre season is over-worn
to q FRAGILE and ragged edge and 1t is
only the middle of April too. But
perhaps 1t is better, for the run of
shows toward the end of the season
was something absolutely distressing,
and people who like good show had
almost dispaired of ever seeing an
other in Austin.
The big fire In San Antonio Satur.
day night and the fiendish incendiar-
ism evident therein has set Austin
people to considering as to whether
there may not be gang of firebugs
at work here, for there has been q fire
here every night for week or more
which phenomenal occurrence follow
ing upon long era of no fires at all
points to something other than the
probability that it is mere chance,
ACCOUNTED for by the principle that all
things come in waves.
Yesterday was Eas ter. Sunday and
a very Rip Van Wrinkle would have
been cognizant of the fact had he
happened into st. David's Episcopal
abouts. Such another display of
beautiful costumes is seldom seen and
such Donnets and hats, all trimmed
(two-thirds of them) with violets and
tan or green ribbon. Hardened sim
ners were out on yesterday for the
first time perhaps, since last Easter,
but deserving little credit withal in
that their sole object in going to
church was to see the flowers and new
costumes
Henry Purnell, the pardoned luna
tic who shot the superintendent of
the insane asylum some mouths ago,
has been again sent to the asylum,
and for the safety of the public 1t is to
be hoped he will be kept there. He
is a sad case. He was once favorite
In Austin society and everybody
liked him.
Nearly every body goes to the dam
on Sundays now, and yesterday the
dummy line had all it could do to
carry out the hundreds and hundreds
of people who were out to view that
Interesting structure. There are many
boats on the little lake now formed by
the cofsr-dam, and among them are
three little steam launches,
Since the legislature adjourned pol
itics have also adjourned, temporarily,
at least, and an item is something
scarce indeed. T. J. c.
