Berthelot who made most interesting report on the minerals, an which he sta el 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 a rare and precious metal, the pos session of which was thought to repay the most severe labor. Lat CT on, wood and stone implements gave place to bronze which was made possible by the importation of tin from remote regions. The extraction of the metal was effected by methods similar to those follow d in the metallurgy of copper in it's production of similar ores from the remotest antiquity down to re- cent times-the use of wood as reducing material along with sili- cious, ferruginous and calcerous duxes.
 The mines have been abandoned for at least 5000 years, probably on account of. a constantly growing scarcity of the material and the poverty of the residue in metal The mines were probably worked from $500 to 4o0O years. It is thought that the working of the mines began nearly TOGO years ago.-Scientifc American.

THE MINES OF MOUNT SINAI.

FAVORABLE SMELTERLOCATIONS.

Among the projects earliest agi tated in new mining districts is the tablishment of a smelter. The inactivity of old districts is fre- quent.y attributed to the lack of a reduction plant. In the first in- stance, usually, development is insufficient to warrant the erection of a smelter for long time after che enterprise is first suggested
 In the second case, a dearth of smelling ore is the common ex- pIanation of the absence smelters.
 Naturally, the first essential to the successful operation of a smeIter, or any other treatment plant for ores, is ore supply. Given this, the problem IS, commercially, one sf economics. Geographical loca- ton is an imI or ant factor, since in 30 many cases dependency on out tide fuel supply is necessary, which implies dependency onlines of trans portation. A smelling plant on a single railroad line is always at the mercy of that railroad, and always liable to unjust discrimination to the extent of being forced out oI business.
 The natural loca tions for smelterl are centers to which subsistence Is ,vailable in all directions. A smelter differently located is analog ous and subject to the same condi- tions under which the treatment plant of an individual mine is oper- ated. When the mine stops work the smelter stops work.
 The growth of a small plant estab lished to treat the ores of one sec ton is necessarily proportional to the growth and yield of that section. and, unless so situated as to draw material from other sources, will go ont of business if the few mines upon which it is dependent cease producing. Proper location, abund ,nca of ore, requisite fluXes, satis factory transportation arrange ments, are among the prime neces- saries of practise. With these it is also necessary to have abundance of working capital, and to transact business in a way to invite and re- tain public confidence and assure prestige and favorable reputation.
 With ell these it is necessary to have intelligent management. The possession of tks requirements enumerated would fall short of sue. cess unless were included a manager fully competent. Snch men are exceedingly scarce, and are rarely unemployed.-M < s. Press.

TRADE IN FUTURES ILLEGAL.
Important Decision of Illinois Supreme
Court.

SPRINGFIELD. H., June 2l- The
supreme court today affirmed the decis-
ion of the lower court which convict
ed A. v. Booth, of Chicago. of unlaw-
fully contracting in writing with the
Weare Commission Company an op-
tion to buy 10000 bushels Of corn at
a future time. contrary to the statute.
The decision is important in that 1t
declares the Illinois law regarding puts
and calls to be valid. The court does
not hold that a contract to buy grain
for future delivery is unlawful. but
holds that the Booth-Weare contract
did not bind Booth to take the corn
on delivery day and was merely gamb-
ling on price Of corn.
