TIMING COLUMN.
Nickel.


This metal is now used largely
as an alloy for steel and iron, the
allows of W hich are called Nickel
Steel, which is extensively used in
the manufacture Of Gre arms, fine
cutlery and implements of a like
character. AS a consequence there
is growing demand for this met
al and mines bearing nickeiiferous
ores. The attention of the pros
pector may be called to this fact
and the discoverer of good nickel
mine will find buyer for the sam e
more readily than he can locate a
mine of this kind of ore. The
mineral as found in its native state
is in veins similar to those bearing
our more precious metals and not
infrequently associated with them
in the same veins. The ore is usu-
ally sulphide resembling copper
pyrites, inasmuch as having the
same peacock luster, but is much
harder and will strike fire with
steel the same as flint rock. Nick
ell pyrites has been observed in
numerous veins or prospects in this
section some years past, but little
attention has ever been given to the
possible discovery or operation of
a nickel mine in this county with a
view of producing nickel as ship
ping or valuable product or COM
modify. In this connection we
wish to state that to our personal
knowledge there are now represent
atives from the big iron and steel
corporations of this country on the
lookout for nickel mines who will
make it worth while to the pros
pector to show them ores contain
ing this metal in quantity. We
shall be glad to hear from any per
sons who may know of any veins
which bear ores likely to have this
metal in their compo sition and
should test establish the presence
of nickel we can put the party max
ing the discovery in communication
with parties in search of mines or
prospects, showing nickel in any of
its natural forms of combination.

Direct Gable to Manila.

The direct cable to the Philip
pine Islands will he opened next
Fourth of July. 1t is to be hoped
that it will never get out of work
ing order.
AS the locomotive and the ship
have become the modern civilizers
the telegraph is a keeper of the
peace, a promoter of order and
justice. Wherever its wires shall
penetrate human life will be more
sacred. property more secure and
homes will enjoy greater respect.
Outrages in part inspired, in part
concealed by distance and silence,
will grow rare. Imminent expos
ure will restrain excess.
The ear of the American people
will hearken with Joy to the Manila
wire on the suggestive day of its
Inauguration. The people of the
islands can contemplate with more
confidence the flag of the republic
after they realize that their protests
can be instantaneously conveyed to
the court of last resort, the con-
science of the nation which has
their rights in its keeping.

1t is said by those who have
studied the matter, that there is no
reason why the Northeast of this
continent should not equal the
Northwest in mineral wealth, with
an equal amount of exploration,
development and enterprise. On
the eastern side of the continent,
the position of Labrador is identical
with that of Alaska, on the west.
The rock formations are the same
and scientists say that there should
be large amount of gold there.
Gold is found in all parts of the
earth, and in its original condition
is probably much more plentiful
than silver, and it is quite probable
that in time, silver may be con-
sidered the more precious metal.
