A Southern man of culture narrates
a myster Gus visitation. l lived then
on the pl; Mt ltion. where early rising
was an imperative virtue. My bed
room was in the second story. 1t had
two big windows. looking south, with
outside Venetian shutters, always
closed at night. The one door was in
the end wall. opposite the fireplace.
1t gave upon small back hail, in
which the stairway ran up from a SIM
liar hall below. The ped I slept in
sat with its headboard against the
wall, thus bringing it almost flush
with the door, and making me face
fully the fireplace end.
l awoke one February morning as
the big clock down stairs went on the
strike of 5. My sisters slept below,
in she room corresponding to mine.
Early as it was, they were astir, and
the elder OF them called up to know If
she must send black Martha, our
maid. to build fire.
"Oh, no." SAID. lit is not cold
enough for that. ! will run down and
dress by your fire" Then heard
her shut the door, and began to gather
my energies for a plunge out OF bed.
when ! saw a bright light shine
through the door at my head, defining
the square OF it distinctly upon the
wall at the other end

saying: Nobody. None of us has
gone outside the door since we called

That is all the satisfaction ever

State GeOlOgist Smack Makes an Inter.
esting Report On Minerals.

State Geological Smack Maker an Inter
esting Report On Minerals.
Touching upon minerals and mineral
localities in New Jersey State Geolo.
gist John G. Smack, in his latest re-
port, says that the evidence is against
the probable existence of gold in any
quantity in the State. Silver occurs in
the galena at the Andover iron mine,
in Sussex county, but in such small
amounts as not to justify the making,
as the ores are lean. Copper mines
have been worked at Fort Lee, Belle
Vile, New Brunswick, Chimney Rock,
near S%omerville, Martinsville, Griggs-
town. Pluckamin, Pennington and Cop.
per Hill, but while these mines have at
tracted a deal Of attention and capital,
the yield has not, according to the re.
port, been commensurate with the out
lay. Lead in limited quantities has
been found in Sussex and Warren. Ma
tive iron, sparingly disseminated, &C.
ours in the trap rock of Bergen Hill
and in the red sandstone and shale at
Martins Dock, on the Rarltan river.
Magnetic ore, hematite and limonite
are found in workable quantities
throughout the State, and are worked
as iron ores. Iron phosphate, ~vivianite,
occurs in Monmouth and Gloucester
counties, and bog iron ore is abundant
in the southern part of the State. Sui.
phide of iron is common in all parts Of
the State, and nickel and manganese,
with arsenic and mOlybdenum, make
up the list of metallic minerals to be
found in New Jerseys bosom.
The non.metallic minerals mention.
ed in the report as found in this State
are graphite, coal, Ignite or brown
coal, peat, quartz, garnet, ~zircon, mica,
asbestos, tripolite, tale, %serpentine,
kaolinite, apatite, barytes, calcyte,
magnesite and asiderite.
The report sets fourth that the State
is rich in structural materials, granite,
marble, limestone, sandstone, freestone,
slate, cement rock, tagging. stone and
brick clays, road material and f~ertiliz-
ers. A number of gemstones, the will
lemite and amethyst leading the list,
have been obtained in various parts of
the State.
A table of mineral statistics show
that the total output of iron ores for
the year 1892 was 356, $50 long tons,
valued at S909, Ass. OF this total 351,-
453 tons were magnetic, the remainder
brown and red hematite. New Jersey
stood ninth in the order of iron produce
ing States for the year, having gone
back from the next highest position,
held in 1891. The zinc ore mined in
the State in 1892 amounted to 55,S52
tons.
