IRON DISSOLVED BY WATER.

Interesting Experiments to Show How
Metal May he Dccomposcd.
From the Philadelphia Record: Some
interesting experiments and researches
into the ability OF water to exercise a
destructive influence on iron pipe.
which have been recently made in Eu-
rope, have yielded results not generally
expected. II has been ascertained that
waters containing little lime. but an
appreciable quantity OF dissolved car
bonic acid, were observed to exercise
a solvent action on the iron. and the
course OF the action was traced. A
known quantity OF iron filings was
placed In each Of three vessels, which
we're respectively filled with ordinary
river water. and the same water after
carbonic acid had passed through It for
z few minutes, and after the addition
OF sufficient lime to jest neutralize the
carbonic acid. The vessels were sealed
by mercury from contact by the air.
and, after the lapse OF "a cer,aln time.
the Iron dissolved In each case was de
termined. In the first case the water
had dissolved about 3-lo0o per cent. in
the second 2-loO per cent, While In III.
third only traces OF iron could be dis
cerned. The water In the second case
was clear. but on standing exposed to
the air ferrlc oxide separated. 1t was.
therefore. inferred that water contain.
ing carbonic acid and very little lime
dissolved iron as ferrous carbonate.
The latter is then decomposed by the
oxygen OF the air and ferric acid Is
deposited and carbonlc acid formed.
The latter can again attack the iron.
and thus water containing little car
bonic acid may have powerful action
upon iron pipes.

OLD TEXAS GOLD NINE FOUND.
Discovery of Great Riches Made in
Uyalds County.

Discovery of Great Riches MADE in
Uvaids County.
San Antonio, Special.-An old Span
ish mine has been rediscovered in w.
aide county and the assays made OF the
ore show that 1t is of fabulous rich
ness. The mine is situated twenty-four
miles north Of Sabinal In the southern
edge Of the Llano mineral district. 1t
is on land owned by Albert Maverick.
a wealthy business man of San An
tonic. Mr.. Maverick stated that he
discovered the shaft Of the old mine
about twenty-five years ago. but he
took no interest in the discovery, for
the reason that he had no faith in that
region as a mineral country.
About year ago v. H. Blocker. a
prominent attorney of Hondo City.
Tex, learned of the existence Of the old
shafts and he secured a lease on the
property from Mr.. Maverick, and began
the work of opening up the mine. The
shaft was filled with debris and several
months were spent in clearing 1t out.
In the bottom Of the shaft number
of old Mexican mining implements were
found. At depth Of about thirty-five
feet the ore vein was struck and SAM
pies were sent to assayers and the re-
turns gave $500 silver and trace of
gold to the ton. A large piece of ore
In which gold was visible to the eye was
found In the old shaft. This was as
sayed and showed $4,000 gold to the
ton. 1t was evident that the latter
sample had been thrown into the old
shaft and this led Mr.. Blocker to make
a search for the gold vein. He found
this vein crossing the shaft just above
the silver vein. An old lrift followed
the gold vein for some distance. The
secret of the rediscovery and richness
OF the mine was carefully guarded and
did not leak out until today. An aged
Mexican priest, now living at Santa
Rosa, Mexico, was the padre stationed
at the mine when 1t was being worked
by the Spaniards. Mr.. Blocker visited
this priest and learned from him that
the mine was closed and abandoned
In 1886 by order OF General Santa Ana
Immediately after the battle of San ia
cinto. Mr.. Blocker has large force
of miners at work and the first ear load
shipment of ore to the smelter will be
made In a few days.
