Since the business of the prospec-

one, and often has kept the

u familiarity with the foreign looking
names which men Of science have
given to the different species 10 not

progressive men In the business
get over their prejudice against
the now accepted rock names of the
scientist and endeavor to become
familiar In a general way with the
present day nomenclature of the
rocks. Every camp has its own
much reverenced names for the local
rocks, but when the professional men
call the miners trap" "diabase"
or "basalt," as the case may be,
the new idea should he frowned at.

A large amount of development
work has been outlined. On the
Virginia vein proper there is now
over 1000 feet of tunnels, shafts
and drifts. Besides these there are
two other veins, one fissure averag-
ing five feet in width and the other
contact about twenty-five feet.
The fissure carries free gold and pans

centrating sulphides. This contact
vein crosses the Virginia 400 feet

purpose is to continue the drift on

the point of intersection depth of
$50 feet will be obtained. The five
foot ledge parallels the Virginia
running northeast and southeast.
The other Is east of north.

CARE OF JEWErRY.
How to Clean and Polish Gold and
Silver.


Silver.
The cleaning and care Of jewelry is a
matter that often perplexes the woman
| who is fastidious about the details Of
her toilet and her house, says the New
York Tribune. Following are some d.
rections aLi formulas that will be
found exceedingly valuable. They
were furnished through the courtesy
Of William T. Lewis of the Practical
Jeweler and Opdcian.
Regarding the cleaning of diamond
jewelry Mr.. Lewis says: First wash
In benzine, then in CASTLE soap and
water to which q little ammonia has
been added. Rinse in clear water, dip
In alcohol and dry on jewelers. saw
dust. This formula holds for all jew
elry containing precious stones other
then pearls.
"If the gold has lost its luster
through usage or is furnished, some
further treatment is necessary, how
ever. Make a solution out Of q quart
Of water and an ounce Of cyanide Of

caution regarding the use of this sold
ton must be added Cyanide Of potas-
stun is a deadly poison. Too much
care therefore cannot be exercised In
its use, and the moment the cleansing
process Is completed it should be
thrown out.
''If gold is dull and requires polishing,

Pearl jewelry may be cleaned in the
same manner as that containing dia-
monds, except that the benzine bath
must be omitted and all the operations
must be performed very quickly, as
pearls are often cemented In place and
fluids have n tendency to soften the
cement; hence the need for speed.

tain any greenish tints do not buy II
at any price. Lamb and mutton ought
to be a bright red and veal fine grained
and pink in color, the fat white and
clear. The flesh of fat animals is more
tender and juicy than that of lean ones
because the latter contains a greater
amount of water in proportion to the
fibrin, albumen and gelatin. The most
expensive cuts are obtained from those
parts of the animal where the muscles
are but little used, and the meat is &C
cordingly fine grained and tender.

Viola Intelligencer: The report of the
tax commission which was made public
Tuesday was the principal topic of COM
ment among the state officials aud the
Legislators. The portion of the report
which will excite the greatest amount
of general interest is that in which the
commission deals with the question of
railroad taxation. The fact that the
commission did not recede from the POI
sition which it took two years ago in
the ascertaining of the values of the
railroads and that it has come out I'M
equivocally for the taxation of the rail-
roads upon the al valorem basis caused
a great amount Of favorable comment.
The report will be followed by bills to
carry out recommendation of the COM
mission in this regard. Because the
commission was not a unit in its report
upon the taxation Of credits an effort is
already being made by the enemies of
tax reform In the state to use the differ
ence of OF lnion to aid them in their ac-
complishment of this reform They
will attempt to get the members of the
legislature at loggerheads over the ques-
ton Of the taxation of credits in the
hope that by so doing they may obscure
the issue which has been made in the
campaign to compel the railroads to pay
their just portion of the taxes This is
understood by the tax commissioners
and by every one in touch with the sit
uation in the legislature. 1t is known
that the railroads have to use this to
cause an alignment in the legislature
AGAINST all tax reform measures.
