Washington. June 3o.-Captain Wilde's
statement of the injuries sustained by
the Oregon Is scarcely sufficient to en-
able the constructors here to form "a
definite opinion as to the prospects OF
saving the famous ship. They say, how
ever, that the ship. probably can be

At the request of the Secretary of the

From the Scientific American.


The Egyptians had mined the rugged
sides of Mt. Sinai for copper and turquoise
thousands of years before Moses climbed
the mountain to receive the tables of the
law, and the Egyptians waged war for the
possession of these mines. NJ. de Morgan,
with party of French engineers recently
visited these abandoned workings which
are situated convenient to the gulf of
Suez, and explored two of the ancient de-
posits. He found the mineral deposits in
the sandstone region and not in the
porphyries, which constitute the great
mass of the mountain. These deposits
consist of copper and iron bearing min
nerals, especially hematite and some gyp-
sum- Among the cuperiferous minerals
the most valuable were the turquols
many valuable specimens of which have
been discovered from time to time in the
tomb and treasure of the Egyptians, says
the National Druggist, from which we de-
rive our information. NJ de Morgan
brought back to France quite collection
of minerals, most of which were turned
over to NJ. Berthelot, who made a most
Interesting report on the minerals in
which he stated that the copper bearing
specimens were poor in metal and not
very plentiful. Mining such ores must
have been tedious and severe labor The
Egyptians were still using arms of wood
and Clipped or ground stones, and copper
was rare and precious metal, the pos
session of which was thought to repay
the most severe labor. Later on wood
and stone implements gave place to bronze
which was made possible by the importa-
ton of tin from remote regions. The ex-
traction of the metal was effected by
methods similar to those followed in the
metallurgy of copper in it's production of
similar ores from the remotest antiquity
down to recent times-the use of wood as
reducing material along with silicious,
ferruginous and calcerous fiuxes.
The mines have been abandoned for at
least 5000 years, probably on account of a
constantly growing scarcity of the mate
rial and the poverty Of the residue in
metal. The mines were probably worked
about $500 or 1900 years. It is thought
that the working of the mines began near
ly 1000 years ago.

found dead on a cot in his office at Bar
tow Friday night by his attendant who

A rather interesting story comes from
Barlow. George Anderson, a deputy sher-

for some offense. On the way TO Barlow
the negro assailed Anderson, knocked
him out of the buggy, took his pistol

him a severe beating, and then drove off
in the vehicle and has not since been
heard from. A posse is looking for the

inhabitants there who came from ONO,
Indiana and Illinois. Mr. Written in
tends TO celonize it with thrifty people
from his section of the country. The great
yields from the pineapple groves is what
induced him to make this purchase. The
pineapple syndicate, recently organized
there has already had five acres cleared
and plowed. The posts and timber are on
the ground for the pinery.
1t is reported that Camp Bros have
made another large purchase of sawgrass
marsh land in the Manatee section. 1t was
recently reported that a sale of 500 acres
had been made to them. The latter re-
port is that 1,7O0 additional acres have
been purchased, all of which is to be in
cluded in the scheme TO esta blish a large
sugar plantation. These gentlemen have
ample means TO act on their Idea, and
they believe that after the land is properly
drained they will be able to conduct a
successful sugar-growing business.
