II is pretty we'll settled that Hon. c. n.
Macintosh will be the choice of the dele.
gates. This decision will undoubtedly
meet with the approval of the great ma.
jority Of the party, and will be regarded
with satisfaction by all the residents Of
the community, whether they may sup.
port or oppose Mr.. Macintosh. They re.
cognize in him not only the strongest man
whom the conservatives could bring out,
but one who is in the best sense friend
OF the district, who has large interests In
il himself, and whose interests can only
be well served by legislation which will
develop the country and attract towards
II the attention OF capital and enterprise.
tie will command the respect II he does
not obtain the support ot>his political op.
ponents, and the wage earning class will
undoubtedly regard him as one who is
desirous Of seeing their interests fairly
and honestly looked after, that labor may
enjoy that to which II is eElitled, and the
whole community Is benefited thereby.
The selection Of Mr.. Macintosh will not
be a nomination ty the machine" but
will be the Spontaneous choice Of the party
to which the machine is forced to consent.
That there are several other good men
who might be chosen Is undoubted, but
owing TO the fact that they are less known
than Mr.. Macintosh, the "ward polite.
ians" might be able to put up. a better

MINES OF MOUNT SINAI.
Cooper Mined Centuries Before the Tribes
Of IsreaI Gathered There.

Egyptians had mined the rugged sides
of Mount Sinai for copper and turquoise
thousands of years before Moses climbed
the mountain to receive the tables OF the
law, and the Egyptians waged wars for
the possession OF these mines. N. de Nor.
gan, with a party of French engineers,
recently visited these abandoned work.
ings, which are situated convenient to the
Gulf OF Suez, and explored two Of the
ancient deposits. He found the mineral
deposits In the sandstone region and not
In the porphyries which constitutes the
great mass OF the mountains.
These deposits consist Of copper and
iron bearing minerals, especially hematite
and some gypsum. Among the aurierous
minerals the most valuable were the tur.
auois, many valuable specimens Of which
have been discovered from time to time In
the tombs Of the Egyptians. N. de Nor.
gan brought back to France a collection Of
minerals, most Of which were turned over
to N. Befthelot, who made most inter.
esting report on the minerals, In which he
stated that the copper bearing specimens
were poor In metal and not plentiful.
Mining such ores must have been tedi
Gus aud severe labor. The Egyptians
were still using arms OF wood and Clipped
or ground stones, and copper was rare
and precious metal, the possession Of
which was thought to repay the most Sc.
we're labor. Later on, wood and stone
implements gave place to bronze, which
was made possible by the importation OF
tin from remote regions.
These mines have been abandoned Tor
at least 5000 years, probably on account
Of a constantly growing scarcity In metal.
The mines were probably worked from
$500 to 1900 years. II Is thought that
the working Of the mines began nearly
5000 years ago.-Chicago News.
