down to so fine a point that they can
turn out a mixture that will just get
in the contract grade without a shade

retary Day has just received a re-
Spouse from the mana gers of the Ward
Line steamers in New York in answer

free of cost Presume they will be con-
signed to Gen. Lee"

HAMILTON HALL.
Mr.. Warner Will Surrender to the
Creamery Convention Committee.

Mr.. James Warner has practically
agreed to vacate the lower floor of the
Hamilton building on Quincy street
during the week the National Cream
cry association meeting will be
held, and both floors Of the building
will be used for the convention and ex-
hibits. Mr.. Warner now occupies the
lower floor with a stock of wagons and
carriages.
The committee of arrangements yes
terday afternoon made a trip to the
fair grounds to inspect the old expOsi-
ton hail building with a view of using
it as a place for the exhibits, but it
was found that it was not in a suitable
condition.
Many applications for space for ex-
hibits have been received by Chairman
Downing of the committee, and it is
probable that there will scarcely be
sufficient room in the entire Hamilton
building for both the convention meet
ings and exhibits.

W c. Overman, manager of the New

The assignment was directly due to

we have a very large amount also
locked up in stock in the process OF
manufacture in our 1898 trade. and that.
too for our present needs. is practical
ly worth nothing. We did not carry
over an exceptionally large stock Of
1897 models, and our assignment cannot
be put down to our own OverprOGuc-
ton, although the general OverprOduc-
tiOn that threw so many cneap wheels
on the market hurt Us, as it must have
also injured other manufacturers

New Product for Nevada.

IN Esmerelda county, along the line
q the Carson and Colorado railway in
"a White Mountains, is Il deposit OF
q tatomaceous earth the excavation OF
which is likely to become an important
industry. The substance is white, APP
pearing from the ears like Il huge bank
of snow. 1t is composed of % per cent
pure silicon and is so light that thirty
three sacks arc required to make a ton.
There are many acres of the material
and excavations TO the depth of thirty
feet have failed 10 find bottom. indlcat-
ing that the supply is almost %mexhauS-
tible.
This substance is fire proof and Is be-
ing used as a substitute for magnesia in
the manufacture of plaster and asbestos
covering for boilers and steam pipes.
A company has been organized in Penn :
sylvania to manufacture the latter pro-
duct from the Nevada mineral. There
have been similar deposits found In
other states, but never in such a pure
condition. and as it's field Of usefulness
is widened the owners of the deposit,
Messrs. Yerington. Laws and Knapp
will find that they have a gold mine
on their hands. 1t has been found that
the Nevada silicon will answer every
purpose of the magnesia and can be
laid down in the East at less than hall
the cost.
