tinuouS body stretching to distance of two or three miles and showing a thickness at right angles to the Stratifcation of no less than 6,000 or 5000 or perhaps 10000 feet, and there is no evidence whatever of plication. The Stratitica- tion is fiat and as regular as the leaves of book. Usually we detect more or less piication or folding in such Q section, but there is no evi dence of any folding whatever in this series. There is, however, a great difference in the composition of the layers of these rocky ridges, now all turned black upon the surface-a condi- tion of coloring which seems to attend all the rock outcrops along the lower Colorado, and the origin of which, though discussed by Humboldt after noting similar blackening of the rocks along the Orinoco, has not yet been satisfactory explained. This general blackening of the sur face hides the changes of composition, which may be noted by careful and close inspection.
 In some places hornblendic states are more developed than the mica slate, and at others the micaceous schistose characters predominate and are accompanied by layers of quartzite in- terleaved and three or four feet in thickness, sometimes three or four inches, and some foliated quartz having little films of mica in it. These quartz beds are members of the series, but have been located as lodges and, it is claimed, are gold bearing. The quartz has little or no resemblance to vein quartz, and yet at several points in the outcrop there are stains Of green color, apparently from the decomposi- ticn Of ore like that which has given green stains to the croppings of the Fortuna.
 Several dike-like seams or veins of white al bite or soda feldspar cut directly across the bedding of the mica slate series. These feldspa- thic dilles do not appear to have any relation to the ore bearing vein or lode of the Fortuna. These dikes are extremely irregular and appear to have filled cross fractures or breaks of the regular strata.
 Coarse granite was noted at the northern point of the Gila range, along the railroad but no evidences were found of the existence of stratif1ed Paleozoic or secondary rocks. The mica slateS series referred to is the Huronian Archaan.

THE VALLEYS CT THE COLORADO.

Several miles above Yuma. in the neighbor- hood of Explorers Pass, near the Purple Hills, the great Colorado River Valley proper com menceS. From this point nOrtherly the river is shut in by cliffs which, with intervening noun tain systems, absolutely preclude the possibility of canal construction. Passing Southward, the cliffs are seen to gradually disappear until they become merged in the low bottom lands. The bottom meanwhile widenS with every mile until the Gulf of California is reached. There are large quantities of land which could be made productive were irrigation practicable. These are general fertile bottoms inclining toward the river and covered in spots with dense under growth and cottonwood and mesquite trees. Considerable of the valley is raised above the river as much 100 feet, and to this height water must be brought, as the bottoms are dur ing certain months completely overtowed by the waters of the swollen streams. The soil Is extraordinarily rich and particularly adapted to the cultivation Of sugar, rice and all the tex tile plants, in addition to an extended list or tropical, scInitropical, and temperate products. According to careful chemical analysis the fertilizing mud carried by the Colorado closely resembles that of the waters of the Nile, while its volume at low water has been estimated by competent authority as sufficient to easily irri gate more than ,750,0O0 acreS.''
 The lands of the lower Colorado River Valley have not boon developed very extensively, owing to the litigation over what is known as the AlgodoneS land grant, which has been in the courts for the last decade. The veXed question has lately been settled by the U. 5. Supreme Court in favor Of the government.

KING OF ARIZONA.

The gold bearing property, known for time as the Gleason, has been transferred to the King
 Arizona Mining and Milling Company, a cor poration organized under the laws of the Terri tory of Arizona with capitalization of 5,OOO,OOO shares of par value of S1 each. This company owns four full claims-the Homestake, the King Of Arizona, the Last Hope, and the Mucho Eueno. This district lies about thirty five miles due east of thd Castle Dome Land ing on the Colorado River. It is north of the Gila River and about 4O miles from Mohawk Summit on the Southern Pacific Railroad This is the nearest station the railway. There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona.
 The Homestake location covers the chief workings up to this date. There is on this claim strong vein of gold bearing quartz. This lode or vein has three well-marked divisions or layers On the hanging wall there is soft layer from to 31! inches wide, which averages about S2S0O per ton in value Next below this there is middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inches thick, which will average about S90 to e1c0 per ton in value. The remainder of the vein so far as it is exposed by the shaft, aver ages about SPA per ton. Test holes have been drilled feet deep into the foot wall, and all are in ore. The shaft by which the exposure of the nature of the vein has been made is POO feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall distance of 40 feet eaSterly and 30 feet westerly. These show a continuity of vein, having the same characters and values develop ed by the shaft. The hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than at the shaft. At point about 30 feet west of the shaft and on level with the collar Of the shaft the vein has been cTosScut from wall to wall, showing it IS feet wide at that point. The ore in the croSScut is of about the same grade as that in the shaft. The croppings of the vein may be followed for some 700 feet of the Home stake shaft to a second opening, known ''The King of Arizona Shaft" This shaft is about 90 feet deep, and by means of drill holes the vein Is shown to be II feet in width and has an aver age value of BIO per ton. At point 300 feet east of the Homestaze shaft tunnel has been made which croSScuts the vein 160 feet below the sur fGee. At this point the hanging wall vein is IS inches wide and has an average value of $50 per ton. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet of vein matter running about B per ton, thence through feet of ore carrying RPS per ton to the foot wall. The total distance from hanging wall to foot wall along this tunnel is 40 feet. A drift has been run along the foot wall to the Home
 stake shaft at distance of 300 feet. and the average value of the ore exposed is Sl4 per ton.

The current impression that China

How is it that Englishmen are not
the best lingusts in Europe? Simply
and solely because of the general and
absurd deaf and dumb" method of
studying foreign languages. Foreign
ers learning English know better than
to waste years over books; they simply
chatter" and learn one word and eX.
preston after another, and become
familiar with them by constant repeti-
ton. with the result that in Il few
months they can speak and write our

Some Simple Remedies.

In one of the United States health
reports published in Washington few
simple remedies for emergency uses
are suggested. Witch hazel is one and
is recommended as one of the quickest
sootherS and restorers of a tired brain.
Battle the eyes and forehead freely with
the liquid and apply a cloth wet with
1t at the back of the neck.
Cloths wet in a strong solution of
boraX water are very cool and healing
in case of burn; care should be taken,
however, to exclude the nj" in putting
them on.
tiny pinch of powdered boraX
placed on the tongue and allowed to
dissolve slowly will almost instantly
stop hacking, irritating cough that
may be disturbing one at night The
same treatment relieves an ulcer in
the throat. and at the slightest :rri
tatiOn or soreness of the throat a gar
gle of salt water and boraX will be
found efficient

There is submerged forest on the
Columbia river between the Dalles and
the Cascade mountains. According to
Nj. G. X Gilbert, the submergence
took place $50 years ago. and since
then the roots have been under water,
while the upper parts of the trunks
have been barred yearly at low water.
The bark is gone and the wood partly
wasted away, but some of it is firm
and looks fresh. This fact seems ow-
ing to the durable quality of the wood
of that species namely, the Pseudot-

What queer things the average per
son laughs at. If some one slips and
falls or is unfortunate enough to make
any awkward bunder, the average
person thinks it very funny and laughs
and repeats the affair for a funny sto-
~. If some one makes an unfortunate
remark accidentally, his embarrass-
ment is always a theme for merriment.
Women, who are supposed to be sym
pathetic, are the ones who have the lar
gest stock of such funny stories. They
always seem to be a success. People
love to laugh at the misfortunes of 9th.
