Gold In PHritea.

Experts in gold mining agree that
pretty much the bottom fact now known
about such metal is briefly that all orig
inA pyrites of small grain texture con-
tain gold to a greater or less extent
this, of course, not covering such Sec
ondary large crystal pyritous deposits
derived from veins. 1t is not yet known,
however, whether the gold in these
pyrites is in chemical combination with
the sulphide of gold, or whether each
minute particle of gold is simply cover
ed with coating of sulphide of iron,
or finally whether such PARTICLES are in
the metallic state, but alleged with sill.
yer or other metal which combines more
rapidly with sulphur than the gold
does, and consequently forms coat of
sulphide of silver over the gold. The
particles of gold are SO minute and the
combinations follow SO rapidly during
the splitting up of these pyrites that
the finest instruments and tests known
TO chemistry have as yet been unable to
settle this part of the question to the
satisfaction of all concerned, this fact
showing how easy it is to put in mill
that will not save the values.

The King maker.

The Earl of Warwick, commonly
called the "kingmaker, from the fac
ulty with which he created and deposed
monarchs during the contest between
the house of York and Lancaster, lived
in style of magnif1cence and hospitality
Of which no period perhaps furnishes
an example. No less than 80, 900 per-
sons are said to have lived at bis board
In the different manors and castles
which he possessed, and the military,
silured by his hos pitality as we'll as his
bravery, were strongly attached to his
interests. This distinguished warrior fell
at the battle of Barnet in l47l, when,
owing to the mistake of one part of his
army falling upon the other during
fog, he was defeated by Edward ".
In former battles Warwick had al
ways fought on horseback, that he
might at once ride along the line and
perceive the particulars of the action,
but ON this occasion he determined to
fight on foot, that his soldiers might
see that he was resolved to share with
them the dangers of the day After hav.
ing exerted himself as an officer and
hero in fruitless attempts to turn the
tide of fortune in his favor he rushed
into the hottest part of the battle and
fell covered with wounds His brother,
Montacute, in endeavoriLg to save him
met with similar fate.-Nu aeets..-asaa.

Although San Juan hin and fort had

Although San Juan hill and fort had
fallen, triumph was by no means as
sured. The Spaniards had simply fallen
back TO a second line, and from there
they opened fearful fire upon the
Americans around their old trenches.
This was taken by the wise heads as
the precursor of countercharge. Park
er at once moved his guns forward at q
gallop and joined the skirmish line ON
the very crest. In order to get room for
his Gatlings, he compelled the cavalry
skirmishers to give way right and left,
and, being shorthanded from loss Of
men, impressed soldiers of other COM
mands to help work the pieces.
The Spanish countercharge at San
Juan hill didn't take place. Parker
raked every hiding spot with bullets
for some time. About A O'Clock force
of Spaniards numbering 400 came into
view off to the right of the road where
Parker was, apparently aiming at the
salient in front of the cavalry The
range was about 600 yards, and after a
few revolutions of the bullet sifters the
enemy disappeared. At shutdown there
was another squirt OF Spanish valor,
aud Parker again dosed the enemy's
cover with Rrag- Jorgensen bullets.
