IL may be stated without fear OF con.
tradiction that this district contains
more deposits OF lend, zinc, tluor spar,
and barite than any other section Of the
State.
The zinc aud lead deposits invariably
occur in the line Of the fractures They
are, therefore, in the true iissure veins,
the origin OF which was in no way de
pendent upon shrinkage Of the strata
nor 10 the eroding or cavity making ef
fects upon the limestone. On the con.
trary these assures are Of deep seated
origin, having resulted from convulsive
movements OF the earth's crust whereby
il was produced and the country rock
for some distance on one side Of the
dislocation either showed up or thrown
down. Among the twenty or more
faults" that | have determined the
down throw was not less than 200 feet
and ia most cases 1000 feet.
The limestones that has been counted
as the principal source Of the metals in
this region are the Princeton and ST.
Louis having an aggregate thickness of
no less than 500 feet. These veins should
be productive To depth of 800 to 200
feet,
In searching for mineral deposits the
prospector will do well to follow the line
Of fracture as laid down on the map.
Success is more likely to reward his
efforts along these lines than elsewhere.
Valuable deposits may he discovered at
almost any point ON them but experience
/ teaches that the chances for finding
them at the surface are far the best

sides OF the fault.

believe that have mentioned enough
to prove that this district is unusually
rich in mineral deposits Among the
first steps 10 be recommended are great
ly increased facilities for transportation
not only in the railways but county
roads. For obvious reasons this point
can not be too strongly urged.
The development of the mineral dep
osits should be along two natural lines.
Ii the first revival OF the coal indus
tries go hand in hand. These alone
would be OF great consequence in the
progress OF the county, In the second
line the development Of the lead and
zinc, barite, and huor spar deposits;
ochres, and other cheap pigment, are
associated. A large plant might be es-
tablished at some point along the river,
say Tolu, for instance, where the various
products might be worked up. All sorl $
Of paints could be manufactured there.
Having the crude material and the sort
OF transportation close at hand, this
enterprise, " properly conducted, could
scarcely fsil 70 be remunerative.

ANGELS OF STUDIOS.
Women Artists Employed as POsera
For ReIigions PIetures.

Women Artists Employed as Posers
For Religious Pictures.
Posing for religious pictures is a bust
ness quite apart from the sitting for
the artistic figure, and there are four
models in New York who make spe-
cialty of posing for artists and seulp-
tors whose subjects are distinctly re-
ligious. For several years Miss Jessie
Williams has posed for various Madon-
mas. She is a young woman Of no great
beauty, but her face has tbGAsoft' sym
pathetic expression which artists find
it TO be difficult to secure. Miss VIII
liams posed for +. S. Church's "Madon-
ma of the Sea-" and from beginning to
end the work upon the picture was
tinged with humor.
Mr.. Church first conceived the idea
one day when down at Coney Island
the last place one would think of in
conjunction with Aadonnas, where he
obtained the central idea Of the cross
formed of white sea gulIs flying to-
ward the land, just above the Madon-
mas head. The next day he sent for
Miss Williams. The day was rainy and
muddy. Miss Williams, who is evident
" a prudent young woman, wore pair
Of rubber boots and a short skirt, a cos
tune, to be sure, not very conducive TO
the forming Of a Madonna. MI. Church
gave her an old gray gown lying about
the studio. Twisting an old skirt into
n bundle, he tied it with n cord, and
from this model, while Miss Williams
gazed at the rag doll, he made bis
beautiful Madonna.
Miss Marion French is known as 'thG
angel Of the studios" She has posed
more times as an angel than any othel
: model in New York Her features arr
delicate, her eyes are serene and placid
her hair golden, and she is, in fact, al

Rather curiously it appears that the
new King Edward shilling has found
its way to London from Belgium.
While not in general circulation as yet
in the Anglo-Saxon capital, a few Of
them were paid out in the city within
the last few days. having arrived in
consignment Of coins received from
abroad.
The Bank Of England, It seems, was
not aware that there had been new
issue from the royal mint.
The new coin has the advantage Of
being at least original in design, and,
while severely plain on the diverse, is
sufficiently decorative in its arrange
ment to lead us to hope that the medal
lists who have charge Of the designing
and cutting Of the dies from which the
British coins are struck are learning
something of the delicaeies Of the ar
from the French.
It is to be presumed that they vii
shortly be in general circulation
though further inquiry at the banl
draws forth no further information a
to when this may be expected, and tn
puzzle is still unsolyed as to how tn
coins actually made their appearance
abroad before they were known in Lor
don.

There is an aristocracy Of the sun.
NJ. Lugeon, professor in the Univer-
sity of Lausanne, has been making an
investigation in the great valleys of
Switzerland and finds that the eE1e Of
the daylong shadow that winds amid
the high mountains is a most remarka-
BILE boundary. 1t is not only bounda-
ry between sunlit slopes and hills in
the shadow, but it is a line that divides
aristocrats in intelligence and prosper
ity from plebeians of Ignorance and
proverty.
Professor Lugeon has made a special
study Of the great valleys Of the can
ton between Martigny ard the Rhone
glacier and finds that where both sides
are equally steep preference is given to
the sunny side rs a place Of residence
there being three persons there to one
on the side in the shadow. This is moi
remarkable. but it is remarkable that
the dwellers in the sunlight are far su
perior to those who live in the shadow
in intelligence. education and genera
prosperity.
Sunlight has developed ambition anC
energy, and its effect is seen in tn
homes, fields, dress and conversation O
these people of the sun, who look witt
contempt on the people Of the shad
across the valley.

neux was set at liberty yesterday, after
spending nearly four years in prison
and being once condemned to death and
twice placed on trial for his life for
she murder Of Mrs. Katharine ].

the jury to reach a verdict Of acquittal
at the close OF a trial that has lasted
four weeks, the first trial, which re-
suited in Molineux's conviction and
sentence, having been prolonged for
about three months.
The verdict, which was confidently
anticipated, was greeted with an in
stantly suppressed outbreak Of
applause, Justice Lambert having de.
livered a stern admonition that nc
demonstration would be permitted.
Molineux, who was brought into
court as soon as it was known thai
the jury had agreed, was apparently a.
unconcerned as he has been Throughout
the trial, and gave no evidence of emf
ton when the words that establishe,
his innocence were pronounced. Hi
