temperature that cracked the shells like
eggs. Several years will elapse before
the oystermen can recover from the dam
aye thus inflicted

nine years, and he now thinks he has

hends that the heavy SHOWS will not per-

depth of 200 feet was gained, all of which,
with the exception of about six feet of
soil. was through formation of clayish
sandstone. This carries bright particles
resembling gold. but too light for that
mineral, and as they are not pyrtes, Mr..

aluminium has been struck, as this metal
! is found in similar formations.
