An Essay on Mining.

On a recent visit TO the west promi-
nent mining engineer of Chicago was
accompanied by his son, youth of but
nine years of age. The boy was greatly
impressed with what he saw and espec-
tally SO in connection with mine and
cyanide plant, and on his return he wrote
this essay: "In the mine at ---, after
saw the process of blasting, went in
the mill, where the ore is crushed and
the gold dust and nuggets are gotten out.
The ore is put on wide belt which re-
wolves and throws it into an ore crusher,
where it is ground to powder Then it is
put into vats which contain strong acid.
The acid acts on the ore in such way
that It and the metal are parted and the
heavy gold sinks to the bottom, and is
put through strairers. Then it is weigh
ed aud made into bars of 900 ounces
each. After that it is packed and sent
TO the mint, where it is made into money
The mint is large factory where the
gold and silver is rounded off and stan!p-
ed for United States money. Then it is
distributed among the statesmen aud
people. The man who owns the mine
gets most of the money.-Mining World.

and sound as possible. There is only
one nuisance. If the artist hasn't a.
cozy corner, a sort of Japanese Egyp-
tan effect with a spear or two stick

up for the occasion, even if it consists
of only a heap Of old paint rags or
model draperies. ] am firmly con-

successful studio tea without such
divan in it. Women have learned to
look upon it as the hall mark of the art
