will soon lose one of its most inhuen
ltial citizens, and that one of the lead
ing mining companies of South Africa
will secure his services as general man

understood, will resign the general

ether great mining craze in that ter
ritory now under dispute. The gold
fields are reported to be very rich The

Censor, aRichfieEd, Utah:-Homer Nc
Carly is an enterprising fellow and
takes delight in doing something new.
His latest scheme, in which two others
are also interested is worthy of great
praise. They have found a mineral de-
post of siIicious material from which
they are manufacturing polishing
known as "silverine." The
compound has demonstrated to us that
it is better than any imported securing
powder, or soap. 1t will polish gold,
silver and nickel without scratching,
and lend a beautiful polish to our
glass, mirrors and such articles. We
wish the new industry the greatest
success it is worthy OF.

but blocking off ore, until the works
are ready. We are little short of
water for the big works, but that can
be fixed all right"
