1t contains 81 per cent. of metallic
iron. The powder of this ore is Of an
olive green and its fragments are attract
ed by tire magnet
Preparations are already being made
to work this ore as from the state or
oxidation it seems to be well adapted to
the Catalan forge.
The iron balls go common in the coal
formation differ considerably from the
foregoing ores. They contain:
Silica, 1000
Peroxide of iron. 32.40
Carbonate of lime, 4.72
Carbonic acid, 1921
They contain some volatile matter,
bitumen and water which is lost during
ebulirion with hydrochloric acid.
In addition to foregoing ores my at
tention has been directed to the lime
stones which are ia connection of the
carboniferous states These limestones
are undoubtedly hydraulic, but may be
used in melting the iron ores of this,
and other formations One of these
beds of limestones was cut in sinking
the Egypt shaft. 1t is from FIVE to six
feet thick, and resembles, after exposure
to the air for few days, an argillace-
GUS ore of iron. 1t is gray on the recent
fracture but becomes of brownish pale
on exposure TO the atmosphere. 1t Is
slightly harder than the common lime
stone. 1t is composed Of
Slick, 1920
Carbonate of iron, $50
Alumina, O75O
Carbonate of lime, AZ 600
Carbonate of magnesia, 16004
Water, 200
Part of the iron only is in combination
with carbonic acid, though | have reck-
oned it as carbonate.
Another bed of limestone occurs at
wander McIver's. 1t is blue and some
what seamy, but not crystalline.
1t is composed of
Carbonate of lime, 1900
Carbonate of magnesia, 28.70
Slick, 1910
Water. 2.40
Protoxide Of iron, $50
Bitumen and loss
The bitumen is lost during its ebullitlOn

He was dressed all In fur from his head

And he looked Ike pedler just opening

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dlmpes

His cheeks were like roses. his nose ike

And the beard OF his chin was white as

And the smoke it encircled his head like

Of the Institutional and administrative
staff. were professional soldiers. All SWISS
citizens dt for service were liable TO De
