OLDEST TYPE OF REPTILE.
But Little known Till Now About the
Curious Tuatara Lizard.

For the last two years, Professor
Dendy Of Canterbury college, New Yea
land, has beer infinitely investigating
the development of the tuatara lizard,
declared to be the most remarkable
reptile now living i'm New Zealand, and
a detailed account of the results of his
researches has Just arrived in England
and will shortly be published. Although
the lizard in question Is said to be The
oldest existing type of reptile up TO the
present time, little has been known of
it's life history, as it is very rare and
shy and retiring in its habits.
The tuatara lizard was first mention
ed in a diary kept by Anderson. the
companion of Captain Cook, but the
first really detailed account of the rep
tile was given by Dieffenbach i'm lS43,
when he said: II had been %apprised
of the existence of a large lizard. which
the natives call ~tuatara, or narara, and
of which they are much afraid"
Owing to the rarity of the tuatara
lizard, the New Zealand government
passed an act to prohibit the taking or
Staying of the reptile, but, as usual,
forgot one of the most important points
namely. the insertion Of a clause FOR
bidding the collection Of III Eggs.
Fortunately for the ~tuatara, however.
p. Henaghan, the principal keeper on
Stephens island. appears at present 10
be the only man who knows where 10
look for them. although 1t is stated that
two German collectors have been lately
making vigorous but vain efforts to OBJ
tain specimens of the ggs
Professor Dendy had permission
granted him by the government TO col
lect both eggs and adults, and with the
help of Henaghan, he has been so sue
cessful in his Investigations OF the life
history of this interesting reptile that
many new and important facts will
now be made known TO the s%cientihc
world.
The adult animal has a spotted skin
and a crest of separate white, nat
sharp spines, and is possessed of three
sets of teeth.
on stephens island the eggs or the
lizard are found to be laid in Novem

any other vertebrate embryo. and do
not emerge from the eggs until nearly
IL months have elapsed. One curious
fact that has come to light is, that In
the latter stages of its development tht
skin of the young animal had a strong
ly marked pattern of longitudinal and
transverse stripes. which disappear he.
fore Matching. giving place to the spot
ted skin OF the adult animal.
This lizard is particularly interest
ing, owing 4 the fact of its being al
lied to the extinct reptiles of the Trias
sic age.

year. Seven miners are employed.
Granite County.
The consolidation OF the Granite and
Bi-Metallic interests and the reopening
of those mines under one management
is one of the most notable occurrences
20 the mining industry which trans
pired for the year. Pau \. FusZ, who
has been long and Intimately connected
with those mines, has been entrusted
with their management. Associated
with him is Wyrmer Zeigler as super
%intendent. and James Wyloughby as
mine foreman. Both mines are operat-
ed through the Bi-Metallic shaft, which
s. 1.540 feet deep and OF three compart-
ments. The hosting equipment con-
sists of a % by 60 Fraser & Chalmers
engine. one-half steel cable and double
deck safety cages. the latter provided
with all the safety apparatus required
by law. During the period Of suspen-
sion a drainage tunnel 5000 feet in
length was completed which connects
with the Bi-Metallic shaft at the 1000
foot level and with the l,460 foot level
OF the Granite mine. As a Measure Of
mine economy the driving OF this tun-
mel Is undoubtedly a profitable n as
the sun saved in pumping charges will
pay a liberal interest on the invest
ment. An aerial bucket tramway trans
ports the ore from the mines to the
mill, a distance of two miles. The
treatment process comprises stamps, Of
which there are one hundred. pan ANAL
eamation. and c~hlorinati1n. \ hundred
and fifty men are employed At the mine,
which number is being gradually in
creased. The condition i'm regard to

keystone mine, located at Sylvanite.
This mine has been further developed
by a new crosscut tunnel 800 feet in
length, which gives an added depth or
230 feet on the dip of the vein. Work
on the old portion of the mine has been
suspended and confined to developing
at the greater depth acquired by the
new tunnel. A force of IL miners are
employed.

Coal Mines.
In the brief review devoted to the
coal mines given in the Introduction
to this report, l feel that sufficient men
ton of the mines specially named have
been made as to their progress during
the year. Besides those mentioned
there were also operating, the Chestnut
mine at Chestnut, the Cokedale mine
No. 2 at Cokedale, the Electric mine
near Horn, and the Montana Coal and
Coke company's mine at Aldridge. The
condition of those is so similar to that
noted in my last report that l think to
enlarge pm them further would be sup
~erfiuous In conclusion IL Is but fair to
state that the various arrangements of
the coal mines have within h last
ear exercised a reasonable care and
diligence in the interest of the health
and safety of their employees. In only
one instance have / reason to complain
of an insufficient and poor quality OF
air. viz: At sand Coulee in the east
side of the mine the air is at times
poor, resulting from the debris which
falls in the air courses on the with
drawal OF the pillars. n at Aldridge
owing to the distance and circuitous
route the air has q travel. IL becomes
impregnated with dust and sluggish by
the time IL reaches the east end of the
mine. which Is on the return of air
course. Previous to nv last visit Of in
spection the superintendent had COM
menced a new and shorter air course
which. when completed. will furnish a
plentiful supply OF air to the place af-
fected as well as improve the ventila-
ton throughout the mine In all other
respects the workings are in good con-
dition.

Brown & Co. are expected to

John Duval which has been delayed
by prolonged fishing job.
To the southwest of the field
proper, Treat & Crawford should
get the sand the early part of next

cation and is being observed with
more than ordinary interest.
The Wilson run pool continues
to be a leading attraction. Recent
developments in that locality have
revealed the fact that the pool is
not nearly rounded up, and lease
holders are making preparations
for extensive operations during the
fall mouths. Yost & Co. were due
yesterday at their No. Paulton,
but must have been delayed, as no
word has reached the city concern

P. f. Butler, of packtrain No. 5,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, Oh
July 23d, says: eve all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no
time to see a doctor, for it was a
case of rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammuni-
ton and rations, hut thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, I sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medi-
cine was the indirect saviour Of our
army, for if the packers mad been
unable to work there would have
been no way of getting to the front.
There were no roads that wagon
train could use. My comrade and
myself had the good fortune to lay
in a supply Of this medicine for our
pack train before we left Tampa,
and I know in four cases it abso-
lutely saved life"

Fatally Injured.

John Smith, a resident of Mon
roe county, o., fell from his wagon
near Matamoras, last evening, and
was probably fatally injured. He
was hauling fertilizer, and his
wagon was heavily loaded. In go
ing over rough point in the road,
he, in some manner, lost his balance
and was thrown N front of the
wagon, which passed directly over
his chest. He was carried to q
farm house nearby, and medical
aid was summoned. The attending
physicians do not anticipate re-
covery, and his family were notified
last night. This morning ne was
still living.
