FIFTY YEARS A Nun.

This article would be incomplete
without some account of the aged
nun in honor Of whose golden iu-
biles tie entertainments was given.
Sister St Ephrem was one Of four
sisters Of the order of the Incarnate
Word who came to this country
from France in 1852 and founded
the convent OF their order in
Brownsville the same year, this be-
ing the frat convent ofthe Incarnate
Word founded in the United States
This was four years after Sister St.
Ephrem had made her religions
vows, which ceremony took place in
Lyons. France. Of which country she
: a native. The founding Of a con
vent here was a most important
event in tie history of Brownsville,
and the city owes great veueration
and gratitude to those four pioneer
sisters who braved an ocean voyage
in those early days to plant the
standard Of religion ana education
upon these shores. Ct the three

la. Western Canada, before taking up
heir home there visited the cOun-
try as delegates. They reported to
he Government of the Dominion Of
Canada the result of their observations,
and from this report extracts have
been taken, which are published below:
I'VE have visited a number of most
desirable locations, and are highly
pleased with the country as whole,
it being beyond our highest expeeta-
tons. We find here a prosperous and
well-contented lot of people. They
have comfortable homes, and their vast
fields of wheat and other crops in addi-
ton to their herds Of choice cattle, in
dictate prosperity in the full sense Of
the word. In conversation with the
farmers throughout cur trip we learned
that the majority of them came here
with very limited means, and some
with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now
Well-to-do. They all claim that this is
the only country for a poor man, or
one with little means, to get start
and make home for himself and fam
lily. AS you are aware, we were
little shaky and undecided before leav-
ing Detroit, but have determined since
that we, with our friends, will make
this country our future home. 1t is
far from being the wilderness we had
pictured it to be; it is, instead, land
having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads,
markets, stores, churches, schools, etc.,
in fact, an ideal home for those having
the future welfare Of themselves and
families at heart"
The Messrs. Striovski selected the
Alameda district, but what they say
Of it applies in general way to most
other districts in that vast country.
They speak Of the fuel, which is to be
had in great quantities, of the water
that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and of the good grazing land
to be had almost everywhere. There is
plenty of wood for building timber and
for fuel, while coal is convenient, and
sells at low prices at the mines. In
driving through the country they
passed may fine patches of wild rasp-
berries, and say they can speak highly
OF their flavor, as they could not resist
the temptation to stop and eat.
Having already transgressed on your
valuable space, / shall defer further
reference to Western Canada for an
other issue. An illustrated pamphlet
recently issued by the Department Of
the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, giving a
complete description of the country,
will be forwarded free to all who write
for it. Yours,

Rothwell. When parting bullion con-
tanning, gold copper, silver and other
metals, which is the case at the Globe
refinery, a current of small electro-mo-
tive force is used, and the dissolved sill
yer is precipitated upon the cathode in
a loose, spongy or in crystalline form.
The copper is dissolved but remains in
solution. The anode residue in the
Moebius tanks may be dissolved In
aqua regia. filtered for the small
amount of silver chloride present, and
the gold precipitated from the filtered
solution by ferrous sulphate. The APP
paratus is very simple, requiring but
little repair and attention.
The advantage claimed for the meth
cd and apparatus is that the entire
anode-one of the charged plates-is
subjected to the action of the current,
and no scraps are left which have to
be remelted, as in other methods of
separation. The Pittsburg parting
plant of the Pennsylvania Lead COM
pany has used this process with sue
cess since 1SS6-Rocky Mountain
News.

A BIG COPPER MINE.

Copper Glance in New Mexico to Be Oper-
ated.
The deal has been closed for the sale
of the Copper Glance mine, located IN
New Mexico, about forty miles south
east of Taos, to an eastern company,
composed of Boston and Chicago cap
italists. This mine is one of the most
remarkable deposits of copper ever
found in the west In the main body
of the property there are six veins
showing in narrow streaks on the sur
face, which gradually widen as depth
is gained until at the bottom of the
shaft the ore body is four and one-half
feet wide.
All of the veins have been prospect
ed and all show the same character,
istics. The entire ore body carries cop
per, but the remarkable feature is the
fact that throughout the vein matter
there are distributed nuggets of metal
lie copper carrying from 60 to 10 per
cent. of pure copper. These nuggets
show evidence of having been partially
smelted by volcanic action and vary in
size from a marble to pieces of several
hundred pounds weight.
These nuggets increase in number
with depth, and are in the proportion
/ VI OllC AOl VI 1uSSClo " ttbOub b"NA1J
tons of the entire vein matter. The
nuggets are so nearly pure that they
are sent to the refneries direct. The
remainder of the vein is kind of vol
canic mud in a kind of slaty formation,
and runs from to per cent. near the
surface to from Z to 8 per cent. below
the water level, about 40 feet below
the surface. 1t is the opinion of eX
perts who have examined the property
that at a depth of a few hundred feet
below the present workings it will be
found that there is Il solid body of ore.
as the indications in the several veins
point to this conclusion.
The property was worked several
years ago, but a difference between the
| owners resulted in the Wrecking of the
property, since which time nothing has
been done on the mine, until A. w.
Tenant secured an option on the prop
erty several months ago. Mr.. Tenant
opened and retimbered the shaft anil
shipped several lots to the Chicago
Copper Refining Company.
A company has been formed with a
capital of $1,500,O00 and Mr.. Tenant
receives $4,000 in cash and 100000
in stock of the capital stock, 100000
of it to be set aside for working CAPT
tai. The company proposes to com
mence work on the property at once

The Globe Refiner.

The Globe Smelling and Refining
Company yesterday started up a new
process for separating the gold, silver
and copper in dore bars. This work
has heretofore been performed in San
Francisco, where the clean gold was
deposited in the United States coinage
mint and the bar silver sold for export
to China and Japan.
1t is asserted that the first week of
the month was the highest in the his
tory of this plant for carload arrivals
of ore. 1t does not feel the need of the
rumored smelter trust and gave a cold
welcome to the promoter from New
York, A recent shipment of lead to st.
Louis was part of an order from that
city for 5000 tons, and fifteen carloads,
of 400 bars per car, went to New York
last week by way of the Denver and
Gulf railroad and the route by the sea.
The Globe refinery turned out S1,617,-

The process established at the Globe
refinery for parting dore bars is credit
ed to NJ. Moebius and dates back to
January 8, 1875. 1t is fully described

Good Piece of News.

The best temperance news, as usual,
comes from Ontario, where not only
the plebiscite in prospect, but the gov
eminent reports Of the past give us
cheer. The licenses have been reduced
from 5000 in 1877, to 5000, in 1897. In
1884, the commitals for drunkenness
were one for every 1923; in 1897, one for
every 702. OF the S12 municipalities
1S1 have no license. But let not On
tario's government use these statistics
as arguments against improvements in
her liquor laws. 1.-THE better is great
enemy of the best" Another cheering
Item of Canada news is the organiza-
tlon in Toronto by the unions Of the
Young Peoples Societies of Christian
citizenship Federation to influence
municipal and provincial elections.
