In paying quantity in the United States
except in California, but further devel.
! opment may disclose the fact of It's pay
able presence in this county, where its
discovery is Of such recent date as TO
afford but little time to determine the
question. A careful investigation OF the
ores in this district, known to contain
this mineral might result in great bene-
fit to this place and the Black Hills at
large. Calcined magnesite is worth, ac-
eording TO quality, S22 to $47.50 per ton
OF 2440 pounds, in New York, and the
crude sl450.
THE GOLD HILL MINE.
The recent tests Of the ores taken
from the above mine, made by, and un-
der the supervision OF Prof Jenney at
the school of mines, and the peculiar
circumstances connected Herewith, has
had the effect Of creating a feeling Of
doubt in the minds Of many az TO the
valuable character of the property.
The elaborate but unhattering report of
the dean has failed however 70 lessen,
even in the slightest degree, the meas
ure of confidence previously entertained
by all who have taken the pains to in.
vestigate the merits Of the mine. Nor
may it reasonably be considered surpris-
ingthat this should be the case in view Of
the numerous tests that have previously
been made by the most competent and
reliable assayers in the country, show
ing in every instance a much higher
value contained in the ore. The pres
ence OF such quantity Of coarse gold in
the battery, while it may give rise TO sur
prise and even suspicion, it should not
however be accepted as conclusive
evidence that it was not part OF the
product Of the ore. While we admit
that the occurrence Of coarse gold in the
ores of this district is rare, it has never
theless beeu found in a number of
instances. notably in the Salmon and
Atlantic mines, and the evidence is OBJ
tainable TO prove its existence in the
earlier workings of the Gold Hill, when
it was the property of the original To-
Gator. Mr.. j. j. Judevine, now residing
near David City, Neb., vino, having read
the report of Prof Jenney in late issue
of this paper, took the pains to write US
upon the subject, stating that he did not
regard it as being at all surprising that
coarse gold should be thus found, as he
had himself found the same while en-
gagged in the development of this mine
eight or ten years ago. The CnRONicLE
is not disposed to bring discredit upon
the school of mines by accusations Of
any kind or character, but in view of
the wide discrepancy in the results OBJ
tained from the ores of this mine. as
with the universal results |
obtained elsewhere, it is but reasonable !

RICH CONCENTRATE.

The remarkable value of the concen-
trate contained in the ore of the Globe
mine, the property Of {. A. Haserodt
and Charles Harbach, and located about
six miles west of this place. was recent
ly determined by T. ]. V. Rutkoaski
and DR.. o. Fisher Of this city. The re-
suit of the test disclosed the important
and pleasing fact. that one-tenth OF the
mass of concentrate WAS gold, which
would give the value of about $4,000
per ton. A careful and conservative esti-
mate Of the average amount of concen-
trate contained in ton Of this ore
would be 81 pounds, which would give
the crude ore value of about $500
per ton. The ore is of the same general
character as found in large majority OF
the numerous lodes Of record in the very
promising district in which the Globe is
| located

is slate and shallow. There is no water

VIA r HOME IS.

A London paper offered a prize for
the best definition of home. About
FIVE thousand answers were given
Some of the best were the following:
The blossoms Of which Heaven il the
fruit.
A word of strife shut out, world of
love shut in.
Where you are treated best and
grumble most.
The fathers kingdom, the children's
paradise, the mothers world.
The place where the great are some
times small and the small often great.
The jewel casket con aiming the most
preciousof all jewels-lomestic happi-
ness.
The coziest, klndes', sweetest PLACE
in all the world, the essence of our
purest earthly joys and deepest sorrows.
The only spos on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity
are hidden under the mantle of charity:
A little hollow scooped out of the
windy hill of the world where we can
be shielded from its cares and anney-
ances.
A hive in which, like the industrial
bee, youth gamers the sweet and men,
ories of life for age to mediate and
feed upon.
An abode in which the inmate, the
superior being called man. can pay
back at night, with so per CEN. inter-
est, every annoyance that has met him
in business during the day.
The source of comfort which youth
dos not fully appreciate, walch the

sires, which the middle-aged generally
posse s., which the old rightly value.

s'one of the first blows from the axes
of the early white settlers when they
began to fell the :rees and build their
log houses, and afterwards took down
their film lock muskets to fight with
the British for independence. And it
can tell too, for these stones were al
ways associated with family quarrels
Of the soldiers that marched to Gettys-
burg, of the stragglers re'reating from
the battle, that hid themselves in the
woods near it-and of the wounded
that moaned their lives out not far
from the boundary of their own Dixie

the day when the locomotive first
went by screaming, scarcely stones s

after that came to look at the stone
and who struck 1t with hammers in
spite Of its age, respectability and
crown.
And. last, there is the newest story
which Is more commonplace and
is chie1.y the story of a dus y roadside

from seeing it so plainly, the crown
