The cable, which is between two and three miles in length, is of the endless cable va- riety, the cars being run in the mine down one track and out of the mine by another track. By this method one engine does the work where two were formerly requireds and does it much more effectively.
 Slope No 6. which has been idle for over a year, has during that time been equipped with double track, which will be a very great improvement for getting out the coal when that mine is opened up few weeks from now.

MuSkrat as a Weather Prophet,

Hunters of this county who pin their faith
to the muskrat's forecast for hard winter
say that unless their prophets are entirely off
there will be a strong spell of cold weather
early this season.
Everywhere the singular-looking dome
houses Of the muskrats are built with thick
ness Of wall and weather precautions found
during cold winters The huts are unusu-
ally plentiful on the river marshes. 1t is a
notable fact that muskrats never begin to
build their winter homes until the season is
well advanced aud always with Il view to
striking safe elevation above the lee line
Though notably industrious, the nuskrat
never means 10 indulge IN a needless eXpenJS
ture of labor. For example, Il colony or
settlement of water rats in their incessant
nocturnal marches away from the marshes in
search OF sweet apples, OF which they are
fond, or other articles OF food. Invariably
tread in single llie 50 that the grass is beaten
dowu hard under their fact.
Trapper5 have already opened tho winter
quarters OF the rats and report every possible
precaution as having been taken, which fact
ppIltnuS lpli- anu vigorous Winter. lueSt
huts are domc-shaped from cellar to attic
simply "A hollow cone. with a small doorway
in the sub-bascmcpt deep in the marsh mud
by means OF which he enters or quits his
simple barrcl-like chamber. He wastes no
time in needless ornamentaton Of the inter-
ior, but expends all his energy, art and craft
in making his dark upper-story sleeping
quarters warm snug and comfortable.
In fact it is of first importance to the
musk rat that he be an unerring, Iong-range
weather prophet in order that he may have
his dormer chamber well above the reach Of
February or March freshets, or without a
moments notice he may be compelled to
abdicate his winter home because of the
swelling floods, and with Difference to his
meteorological skill be it said that he is rarely
forced from home by the rising waters.
The muskrat is as interesting in his methods
OF life as he is shy. wary and vigilant In the
wider, deeper streams he does but little
damage If cleanliness be next to godliness,
then muskrat heaven must be abundantly
populated. He is careful in regard to the
cleanliness OF what he eats. His food con-
sists principally OF roots, but fruit and grain
also enter into his bill OF fare. 1t is an inter-
esting sight to see the sleek furrad little fel.
lows washing their food.

STRATA OF MICA.
A RICH VEIN DISCOVERED AT
SYLMAR.
A Company Is Being Formed to Carry on
Mining Operations There--The Upper
Section of Cecil County Rich in
Minerals.

Edward S. Raymore. an experienced min
ing engineer and geological chemist is now
located ut Sylmar, this county, investigating
the rich deposits of hepnitite mica, called
surface mica, the lower strata of which will
produce clear pearl mica used for electrical
purpose and wall paper glacc. while certain
parts are used as isnglass in stove doors.
Tho deposit at Sylmar, Mr.. Raymore said to
a representative of the CECIL WING, is one
OF great value, and properly Developed would
be productive of no little wcnlth for Cecil
county. He is now organizing u company to
be known as the American Electrical Mica
Company, and was in Elkton ON Wednesday
on business pertaining to the organization.
1t is Mr.. RaymOres desire that mining opera
tion oe begun at Symar as soon u the frost
leaves the ground the co2ing spring.
That he means business is shown by tho
fact that at Sylmar he has bought the store
property ana stock of Taylor N"sbitt, ard'is
now negotiating for tn" purchase of the
Denny building. which was operated some
time ago rs 4 factory. G. Frank Campbell.
OF Sylmar, will be superintendent of the
mining.
The discovery of mica at Sylmar by Mr..
Raymore was purely accidental. He had
been visiting the family Of Charles Dorman
and was driving one day with Mr.. Campbell
through Sylnar when, by chance, he noticed
piece Of mica sticking from tho bank OF the
hillside. Knowing that mica runs in uphill
strata he began his investigation which has
resulted as above.
Mr.. Raymore from his investigation
states that the mica deposit at Sylmar
would indicate an eight foot vein, allowing
foot aud a half for the upper strata. In ex-
tent the vein may run several miles and
reach Lancaster county Pa.
This deposit of mica is located just on the
southern border of SyImar on the property
of Charles Dorman and upon which property
Mr.. Raymore and Mr.. Campbell hold options.
This section Of Cecil county has been known
for years to contain valuable mineral de-
posits. such as felspar button ivory, which is
a species of chrome. large deposits of chrome
and flint and it is thought by Mr.. Raymore
that gold quartz may crop out in the middle
strata of the mica bed, but it would not be in
paying quantities The geological strata
lying beneath Symar gives promise of some
surprises in minerals.
The analysis of the mica bed has been
made by the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia by Prof. s. H. Hambleton, who
states that stove plate cuttings would be
worth about 81 a pound, and the refuse from
$40 to $50 per ton. He further states that in
1895 this country was compelled to import
$174, 1896 worth as against $55,s31 produced
In this country.
The Cecil "Klondike" or gold fields re-
Gently opened up are but eight miles from
Sylmar, near Conowingo.
