because it is the greatest diyi-
yer paid by this remarkable

of all these was just the last
ant mentioned, the tremendous
fling powers Of the property viii be
reciated. The selling value Of the
Fck is about ,hirteeG times its par
y,ue. The year 1896 has bsen the
Bost prosperous ever known for cop
h mining, owing to the great foreign
ysmand for American copper. The
lOme demand was restricted by the de-
,ressed condition Of business, bat this
of has been more than made
.p by the demand from abroad. Dur
ne the Ten months ending November

mounted to 225,OOQ,Or0 pounds nearly

Ire output Of this country and was

South Cardinals Mica.


The largest source of mica in the
world is in South Carolina. Mica is
found there in all sorts of blocks, of
various t%hIcknesses and shapes, which
can be split ard respliJ almost without
limit, until it becomes the transparent
pane Of commerce.
The material is scattered through
the feldspar with which the surround
ing mountains are mostly covered. The
veins are found between walls of slate.
1t is blasted from the surrounding
rock by meang Of dynamite, and is
freed from all impure matter by min
ers with ehisel and pick. From the
mines it is taken directly to the shops.
where it is split into Thin sheets aud
trimmed into regular forms, which are
then ready for the market, the price
varying according TO the size Of the
sheets.
The average size VIII fU an ordinary
parlOr heater. In rare instances sheets
aa large as 24Xl8 inches are found, but
