PRODUCTION OF MEERscHAuM
Where Some Rich Deposits of the Queer
Substance Are Found.

SupsGAuCo a Oubu
Mr. C~umberbatch, British consul at
AnGora, in his latest report, says that
rich deposits of m-eerschaum are found
twenty miles to the southeast Of Eski
Shehir, an important station of the
Anatolian railway. The Belgian con-
sui In Constantinople, who recently
visited the place, states that it would
be difficult to determine the exact
arena in which the meerschaum is to
be found. Judging from the number
of pits at considerable distances from
each other, it must be extensive.
The meerschaum is extracted in the
same way as coal. Pits from twenty
five to one hundred and twenty feet
deep are dug, and as soon as the vein is
struck horizontal galleries, sometimes
of considerable length, are made, but
more han two galleries are seldom to
be found in one pit. The stone as ex-
tracted is called "ham tash," or rough
block, and is soft enough to be easily
cut with a knife. 1t is white, with a
yellowish tint. and Is covered with a
red, clayey soil of about one inch
thick. In this state the blocks are
purchased by dealers on the spot, not
by weight or measurement, but ac-
cord1ng to approximate quantity,
either per load of three sacks or per cart
load the price varying from Fl We to thirty
pounds sterling per load, according to
quality. These blocks are dried and
subjected to certain preparations be-
fore being conveyed to Eski Shehir.
Some of them are as small as a walnut.
while others attain the size of a cubic
foot. Those which combine regularity

manipulation required before they are
ready for expectation is long and cost
ly. The clayey soil is removed and the
meerschaum dried. In summer ex-
posture for five or six days to the suns
rays s~uffices, but in winter a room
heated to the required temperature Is
necessary and the drying process
takes eight or ten days.
When dried the blocks are we'll
cleaned and polished, then they are
sorted into about twelve classes, each
class being packed with great care in
separate eases, and each block being
wrapped in cotton wool. The bulk Of
the meerschaum is sent to Vienna.
where it is worked, and dispersed all
over the world. Most of the finest
specimens are sent direct to Paris. Ger
tain American dealers have visited Eski
Shehir with the object of obtaining the
raw material direct instead of through
Vienna, thereby saving the higher Gus
tom house duty payable on the worked
meersehaum. The quantity annually
exported is put down at eight thousand
to ten thousand cases. The various
axe levied by the Tarkish government
amount to about thirty-seven per cent,
ad valorem.

Lincolnton Democrat We

'festibule" near Cherryville on
last Saturday night. 1t seems
that Jackson died game, shoot

Washington, Jr., the murderer

The execution will be public. I
have been informed by the Sher-

was picked up and carried to her
home and a physician called to at
tend her. 1t was found that she
was badly bruised and one of her
arms was cut. Oscar Groom and
Walter Galloway who were in the
road cart were arrested and ar
raigned yesterday in Justice Bunt-
ing's Court, but on account of the
inability of Mrs. Moore to attend,
the case was continued.
Winston Sentinel: Much in

a prize fight, or a cock fight be-
tween mains from different coun-
ties or States, when county or
State pride, so-called, is aroused.
The privilege of brutal treatment,

Chistmas festivities in this city were

grand ball given the officers of the
Third Regiment at the Armory. That
spacious building was handsomely
decorated with pennants and ever
greens gracefully hanging from the
center of the ceiling to either corner
of the room, and on either side of the
entrance to the stage were two large
flags drawn back in folds from shield
suspended from the ceiling. Com
pany G. was there in full force, officers
and men>wearing the uniforms of the
regiment, while fully 300 citizens
were present either as spectators or
dancers. When the Orchestra Union
band struck up national air, the Of

an escort. passed down the center of
the hall and planted the regimental
colors on the stage. Mr.. ]. 81. Cradle

five-minutes address replete with witt

responsibilities resting upon our

been omitted that tended to promote

A Horrible Death.

The Telegram gives the following
account of terrible accident which
occurred in Portland on Christmas day,
which resulted in the death of August
Staub, who fell into hot water tank in
sausage factory and was virtually
cooked alive:
At the time of the unfortunate occur
renee, Staub was standing on a graf
ing in front of the tank. which is
raised from the floor on Stats. AS he
leaned forward to turn off the steam,
the grating slipped from under his feet
and he was precipitated headlong into
the sizzling water In moment his
head appeared above the surface of the
boiling water. and his agonized cries
for help brough.to his assistance R.
Gerdes and the latter's brother, who
were close by. These men pulled
Staub out of the tank, and the first
thing they did was to quickly remove
his shirt. In that operation the skin
from his arms to his hnger-tips peeled
off. An overcoat was then thrown
over the sufferer, and, declining all as
sistance, he went home, not far dis
from the factory.
"His cries, provoked by the intensity
of the pain he suffered. ceased for
time after he was completely disrobed.
But later the agony returned, and did
not desert him again till death came
to his relief.n

also that $50, 1000 will be taken in Port

For some time past the people of Ar

have secured estimates from engineers
of the probable cost of construction
and rolling stock, whi .h is placed at
$4,000 not including rights-of-way.
Whatever may be the outcome of this
