HOW MICA IS OBTAINED.
The Process Is Described As the
Postry of Mining.

=
Poetry of Mining.
Godey's Magazine: The mica trade
! is controlled practically by three CT . y
large concerns i'll New York. Chicago
and Boston. These houses have an
agent \. no U-ys Tor cash Whatever mica
is brought by the miners. lney control
the mar-ieg and fix ,he prices for winch
il is sold IN the markets.
Mica. 1t nesd hardy be said, is a
very valuable (aimOst preciOus) min
eral, as those VINO are Obliged 90 buy a
small suip Tor their stove Ccors VIA
testify. \ Package worth hundreds Of
dollars can Be carried in Il basket
Sung over the arm, or in Tair OF
saddlebags On horseback. When pre-
pared IO4 the market the sOHd block,
as taken from the mine. is split into
sheets. These ale cut INTO squares or
rectansle5 Il ain-ost every possible SIZE,
from Xxx incnes up to SXI0 inches, and
sometimes even larger. There are no
less than 1s5 regular sizes kept in
stock by dealers.
The mining OF mica is the poetry of
mining. 1t is impossible TO conceive
OF a more exciting and fascinating
employment. The vein of mica bearing
quartz, lying between rocks of differ
ent formation, has been found. The
cap rCCaA mas peSn blasted away. Lit
tie '-nigger-hCaCS' Jumps OF
crumbnns mica mixed with slate and
ether rOck-are growing plentitul. The
rock is carefully examined by the ex-
peTienced miner. ana al indications
are that mica Will soon be found. A
blast IS mace. The rock and debris
are cleared away, and there in the bot
tom IS a block OF the precious stuff. a
ragged corner showing itself black and
it is imbeGded. With the tips of the
fingers the miner gently and affection
a.eiy brushes away the dirt and small
stones. which partly cover il. Its
thickness is carefully noted. its position
in the rock is learnedly discussed. and
many q speculation INDUCED in as TO
its size and quality. The hole is quick
ly drilled. the small blast is made, just
loOsening the rock, and all eagerly
crowd around as one of the men with
his pick pulls away the broken stone.
There it lies. a black, glittering mass,
nine or ten inches across its face,
three or four inches thick, and irregu-
lar in shape, as all blocks of mica are.
A good sized block, and if solid and of
a perfect cleavage, will be worth sew
eral dollars. The excitement is not al
layed. however. and will not be until
the block is split open and we know
how it looks on the inside. 1t is a very
bad thing to split open a block at the
mine, and contrary 10 ali rules, for
there is danger that the fine, polished
faces VIII be scratched.

Cuban Climate.

A Cuban quoted by the Philadelphia
Record says: Climatic influences in
Cuba affect animals almost as quickly
as human beings. Horses and mules
taken to the island from the United
States and Europe generally die within
six months after their arrival. Many
attempts have been made to acclimate
mules. but without success, although
they live longer than horses. The ami
mails soon give way TO unknown COM
plants and drop by the wayside. The
native mule. a dwarf. lives on little
food. but has great endurance. and
submits good-naturedly - any amount
of brutality from riders and volante
drivers. The sugar planters have i'm
ported cattle of all kinds from foreign
countries. only to find that they soon
become crippled and had to be killed
tn end their sufferings.'

ENGINEERING TOPICS.
American Society of Civil Engineers
Holding a Session.

Detroit, Mich, July 26.-In the alb
sence of Mayor Maybury, Rev. C. l..
Arnold today opened the convention of
the American Society of Civil Engin-
GERS with a happy welcome address.
The sessions are held in the auditorium
of the Fellowcraft club.
One hundred and eighty members and
125 interested guests are present. The
first business was the address of the
president, Alphone Fteley. He gave al
excellent summary of the progress
made in railroad building, bridge build
ing, street railroad progress. the build
ing of tall fireproof buildings, and
many other engineering subjects. Mr..
Fteley said that in many of the large
cities Of the south there is but one
system of water supply, which is TAX
ing a great risk. He said where the
density of population was great there
should always he more than one supply
and that it is to be v-~7dered at that
no harm has resulted ~ yet from the
one supply system.
A preliminary business meeting was
held and temporary committees were
appointed

A GAME OF WHIST.
Martin Pierson Thinks He Won
Fifth of the Klondike.

Martin Pierson. the brother-in-law of
Charles Thiede. had an examination
yesterday regarding his sanity before
Deputy Clerk of the Court Blair. The
examination was made by Drs. Wright
and Ellerbeck, who found the man in
sane. and he was ordered committed to
the asylum. Pierson, at intervals, has
been inflicted with insanity, especially
SO during the warm weather, and when
his reason becomes cIouded he is dan
sserOus TO others. He threatened to
kill his wife, and chased her from the
house and premises.
One of his hallucinations is that he
owns one-ffth of the entire Klondike
region, and says he won it in a game
of whist, played with California mag
mates. he thinks he has a fifth in
terest in the whole country from Alaska
to the north pole. He also fancies he
has large financial interests in other
ways, and recently was devoting his
attention to the organization of a stock
company, which included nearly all the
businesses at Sandy, where he resides.

by the fact that owing to the failures
