Asbestos Discovery.

A prospector named Thomas
Williams has made big strike of
asbestos on the Clearwater near
kamiah. He has not returned, but
other parties have from that region
brought specimens of this Pc
sculiar fibrous mineral. They state
that Williams has a big ledge Of the
stun. The mineral is variety of
hornblende and pyroxene. 1t is
usually of a white or grey color,
and sometimes reddish. That be-
ing displayed by the parties at the
Moser house is greenish. The
value of the strike depends very
much upon the length of the seam
and the quality of the asbestos

birds being reluctant to leave the main
land on the long journey across the &c
miles of Hauraki gulf, but with patience
and perseverance this was overcome.

BILE the charge from Auckland to the
| island is one shilling a sheet. Corre-
| spondence is dispatched daily from the
| island as required between the hours
of nine a. m. and three p. M, and from
Auckland up to noon daily. The time of
closing is earlier from the city, owing
to the difficulty experienced by the
birds in picking up" the island on ae-
count of the msts in the afternoon.
The birds are trained so that on ar
rival at either terminus they place their
necks between two wires, raise these on
their shoulders and walk forward into
box two feet square. The wires then
fall back against piece of metal which
rings an Indicator bell and notifies an
attendant, who removes the message
and permits the bird to enter the loft.
The messages are folded sealed with
stamp and are then attached to the
pigeons leg. Around the outside of the
message is placed a waterproof Logging
to insure it from wet should the bird
meet with bad weather.

column advanced north to San Me

Carranglau. Gen. Lawtons force
marched north between these two
lines. Gen. Wheaton's force landed at

he went northeast into the mountains
on his way TO Bayombong on one Of
the head streams of the large Caga-
yam river. If he had gone there the
American troops are apparently close
on his heels, for a troop of cavalry is
said to have reached Banbang and an
other is at Aritao, both towns being
within a short distance of Bayom

San Jacinto, where Maj, Logan was
killed, is a little east of San Fabian.
The coral reef where the Charleston
struck is ten miles east of the Island
of Camiguin, and the crew Of the I'M
fortunate cruiser took refuge on this
island. It will not be surprising if the
news from the front is meager for
few days, as the telegraph connecting
with Manila terminates at San Jose,
and the troops are now far north OF
that point.

without the intervention of the winged

The idea Of establishing a pigeon nail
service between the Great Barrier is
land, which is 90 miles by water fran
the city of Auckland, was originated by
Walter Fricker, of that city. after The
wreck OF the steamship Wairarapa. On
this occasion birds were used to carry
dispatches from the wreck to AucklaI d,
there being no cable communicative,
and steamer only once a week. TIE
population AT that time Was limited 20
about 100.
Then came the opening up Of the gold
silver and copper mines which indus
tries were responsible for the increase
in the population to 500 or 700, 1t was
soon found necessary TO obtain some
better means of communicating with
the mainland, and the Great Barrier
pigeon post was inaugurated.
At the outset each bird carried one
message only at the cost of two shil-
ings, but subsequent experiments
proved the birds could carry four sheets
of tissue paper of quarto size, and the
rate was reduced TO siNpence tor a mes
sage of one sheet.
