minerals to which the attention of the
prospector and miner should be drawn
as the demand for it is increasing and
is certain to continue, says the Denver
Mining Reporter.
Mineralogically it is the oxide of the
metal aluminium and when pure con-
tains SO per cent. of the latter and is
it's richest known ore. 1t is generally
gray or blush gray substance, but
is often colored brown, black, yellow
or even red, with impurities. 1t may
occur in granular massive form, but
usually it is crystalline in structure,
and the crystals when closely examin
ed are six sided prisms whose length
is greater than their thickness. The
main axis of the crystal is also in
clined with respect to the other two,
giving rise to forms which are called
Rhombs. These crystals, and also
any solid portion of a grainy mass,
are very hard, and will easily scratch
the face of quartz crystal, and in
fact most any substance but the dia-
mond. The weight is between that of
zinc blende and metallic iron. When
pure. corundum is really gem. If of
distinctly blue tint, it is the sapphire;
when violet, the amethyst: when gold
en- yellow, the topaz; when green, the
emerald; when red, the ruby. These
colors are due to a slight quantity of
different metallic oxides. When the
mineral is in fine grains, and of dull
brown or black color, it is known as
emery.
1t is by no means rare substance,
although those samples of it which are
known as gems are, of course, unusual
Its general habitat is in regions where
granite is the prevailing rock. In the
United States it has been found spar
ingly at various points of the Appala-
chain mountains of Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey and New England,
and much more abund antly in North
and South Carolina and Georgia. In
the west there are we'll known localities
in Montana, Idaho, New Mexico and
Arizona. Extensive deposits exist in
the province of Ontario, Canada, and
are beiag opened and worked. Here
the mineral occurs in the near vicinity
of eruptive rocks, and it may be gen.
orally stated that although granite
rocks of the gray and micaceous order
seem to be the natural home of corun-

EMBRACED ALL THE IsMS.

Whitewater Register The Nebraska
democrats and populists have held their
state conventions and adopted substan-
italy the same platform. w J. Bryan
had a controlling hand in its construct
ion and it is openly asserted that it will
be made, with scarcely charge, the ma
tional platform. 1t is quite lengthy and
one Is almost surprised to see how many
things body of men can be against.
Chiefly it demands an American finan-
eial system, made by the American peo-
pie for themselves, to be secured by the
immediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of geld and silver at
the present legal ratio of '16 to / An
other financial" demand is the retire
ment of national bank currency and the
substitution of greenbacks in it's place;
This seems to be resurrection of the
dead issue of 20 years ago. Republican
policy as to Puerto Rico is denounced,
that policy is not yet formulated but it
is denounced all the same. Trusts, i'm
perialism, militarism, the tariff and a
score Of other things are denounced; and
probably anybody could have got almost
anything denounced if he aad only
brought it around before the convention
adjourned; and probably, too, could
have got almost anything adopted
