The Mohave Miner says that 'Iy. II. Lake will commence an action immediately against the Phenix Re publican for malicious libel, and will sue the proprietors of that menda- elous sheet for heavy damages. The Phenix Republican will find before 1t gets done with ex-sheriff Lake that it has jumped the wrong man this time" The Republican used MT. Lake as sort of stuffed club to beat Governor Hughes on the head with. If 1t told the truth NIT. Lake must be a very bad man and the Re publican has nothing to fear from a libel suit. If, as everyone says who knows NIT. Lake, its attack was un- warranted and untrue, he may make It exceedingly warm for the proprie- tors of the above paper.

The uses ts which asbestus Is ap piled are so yaried that the mining of the mineral has become quite an extensive industry In the majority of mines the stone h blasted out. ma chine drills being used to bore the blast holes The crude asbestu3 in the most modern plants is carried up an inclined railway to stone crusher, where it k broken with the adhering rock into pieces not much over n inches in size. From thecrusher the ore drops on an inclined sieve, which Is shaken continually by suitable machinery, the loose fiber and dust going directly to the cleaning and grading machines, while the larger pieces are dropped on a revolving table. where the worthless rock is removed by hand.
 The larger pieces are still further crushed and sorted, the object being Co procure clean fiber free from dirt. The chief difficulty in this method of preparing the materia: lies in the fact that if asbestus is crushed with considerable amount of stone until the latter Is reduced to powder the long and most valuable part is partially destroyech while if the stone k not entirely reduced be fore grading 1t a large amount of waste Is the result.
