Chm Dwellers' habitations. There
was series ef three rooms. The
front room was rather large, the
second little smaller and the
third quite small, AS if used as a
pantry or store reom. This room
contained some % pieces of pot
terry and other things, and this
piece of gold. In stirring around
in the fine dust which was five or
SIX inches deep, he stirred the
block over several times. Finally
he picked it up and was much sur
prised at its weight He after

analyzed with the result above
given.
Of all the numerous and abun-
dant relics that have thus far been
found among the cliff dwellings,
this is the first and only specimen
OF mineral that we have yet heard
OF. 1t has evidently been melted
in some kind of a round pan
possibly in the sand. Carrying out
its circular shape it would form
cake about six inches IN diameter.
From its appearance this would
seem to have been its original form
and have evidently been Clipped
OFF, as If 1t were currency among
the people. 1t has been cut down
to its present size by rough and
blunt instruments. - Mining Age.

Speaking about corn and chol-
era" said W. h. Carr, formerly
chief clerk at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, to the New York World, Il
remember an amusing incident that
came Under my observation. A
titled foreigner, who evidently had
never studied agriculture, was a
guest of the house. One day hap
pened to sit at the same table with
him. Ii was about this season OF
the year. The waiter served "a lot
of side dishes, including corn. The
titled guest inspected an ear and
then laid it back on the plate.
Taking his knife and fork he began
to dissect it, cutting il into slices
and strips. He jabbei his fork in
TO the centre of the cob and left 1t
there. The other guest at the
table triei to conceal their emotions
with napkins. A gentleman sit
ting near me ordered some extra
ears to show the foreigner how to
get away with corn. There WAS
profound silence all around the
table, especially near the would-be
corn eater. The following day the
titled visitor ordered double poi.

that ''this nugget was the largest

instances OF great nuggets, and
they show they were as follows,
and were discovered at the dates

W are located right snd lett. The
mountains were iull of prospectors
and their works. The operations
of some OF the new miners of the
Atlantic side of the continent
struck our Pacific Coasters as being
very comical. One of these sent
back to his Comstock friends the
following burlesque description of
the ways of the down East men;
Mining down in Maine is a

on from the Pacific Coast. Near
our location is a mine running
which appears to be old sailors and
Nantucket whalers. They speak
of the levels of mine as the

skipper and the forsmeh as
mates When the skipper passes
through the main hatch and gets
down to the bottom OF his three
decker mine, he calls out along the
main 'gangway' toward where the
chase (vein) WAS last seen, and
asks his first mate: How does
she head, Mr. Folger?'
q" 'Sou-sou- west half west, says
the mate.
" Port your helm to the lar

THE AUSTIN PROCESS.


Assayer A. Goodell returned
Sunday from Kokomo, where on
Thursday last be observed the
blowing in of the big Austin
furnace built for the purpose of
mating ore from the Willy
mines. The principle OF the
Austin process, as we underetan
it, is to concentrate or matte iron
sulphides, utilizing the sulphur in
the ore for fuel. This novel fuel is
kept going by hot air blast. The
success of the scheme has been only
partially demonstrated as yet.
Mr.. Goodell left Kokomo before
the experiment had proceeded to
the point of dispensing with other
fuel and leaving the sulphur to do
the work While it sesms likely
that the process will be successful
in a measure, we do not find our
selves able to believe that it will
be possible to dispense altogether
with fuel.
This Willy furnace with another
OF the same size now being erected
at Leadville, by Mr.. Franklin
Ballou and others, is among the
largest in the west, having dimen-
sions of 33x140 inches. The in
ventor claims that they will put
through 100 tons OF ore per day.
In the ordinary lead furnace 80
tons is a big capacity, most of
them scarcely crowding 60,-Pueblo

Columbia is, perhaps, the richest
country in the world rs to mineral
wealth. II seems 10 be the natural
home of gold, while silver, copper,
iron, platinum, coal, and other
precious minerals also abound in
great quantities. Dig where you
will almost, you will find gold in
the soil, and nearly all the streams
are full OF it. Mr.. Trautwins him
self has told us that there is pro-
badly no place IN all Columbia
where a railroad cut would not pay
for itself in the amount OF gold
taken out. The natives 10 the dry
seasons, especially In the Marmota
district and in the Atrato and
Chocs rivers, wash out in their
crude way large quantities OF gold
dust which they bring into the
towns for sale. have seen some
nuggets found by them that were
as large as a walnut, and specimens
of that size are not rare. One OF
them, found near Remedies, was
valued at something like $500 in
gold. II is now In possession OF "a
gentlman in Medellin, who thinks
OF sending it to the Chicago Ex-
position. There are a number OF
large mines near Iedellin that
pay enormous dividends. The San
at 1itiribi, and one at Rem
sdios pay monthly over $4,000.
