 The mica mines of India are in the interior of the country and very inacoess- ible. The Abruker mine, it is stated, produces the finest mica that has ever been mined. both for lAmination and color. lt has been sunk about goo feet, following the pitch of the vein. and all this mica and refuse have been raised and carried away by the natives No machinery of any kind except drill and hammers is used in their mining opera tiuns.
 The refuse and the mica are placed in baskets each holding ten pounds. the baskets being passed up from hand to hand by women, who stand in a line on ladders The contents of the baskets are deposited at the top. and the baskets are returned down the ladder in the same manner as they went up. but by anoth- CT line of women. Water is taken out of the mines by means of juss st Is supposed that this method of operation has been carried on for many hundreds of years except that there Is more care Co protect tbe miners
 After the crude mica is taken from the mines it Is first roughly trimmed and then sorted into different grades, according to sizes and quality. IL is then taken to the mica workers. who split it up and scribe out the size for it Co lo cut into by the shearers. the cut pieces then being cleaned, weighed and packed ready for shipment The mica is Jhun transported to general ware huUsls in baskets on the hacks of bull locks and in bullock oArtE In this way it IS carried hundreds of miles to ship ping points at a spsed of about ten milus a day
