GoldfeId.

The most sensational stories con
tinue to come from Goldield as to
new discoveries and values of ore
shipped. At the time of writing no
actual returns are obtainable, but it
is known that over $1,000 per ton was
received for ore shipped from the
Bowes- Kernick and Ridge Curtis
leases on the Jumbo, and the latter
lease made a second shipment this
week. AT the January the ore is
now being sorted into three lots, and
no II under 500 per ton is now be-
ing shipped. The l%essees have in
stalled an assay Office on the mine.
The mill for the Combination mine
will be shipped in as soon as possible
but will not be working in less than
four months. In the meantime a
windmill pump has been set up with
a meter to test the flow of water at
Alkali Springs.

carbonate, associated with nor or
less copper glance and some chloro-
bromides of silver. Galena is prob
ably predominant in depth. Man
ganese is a constant associate, while
the amount of gold present is unim-
portant.
All workable ore bodies have so far
been found in the limestones, and
appear to be governed in their strike
by the faulting to which the district
has been subjected along approx
mately north-south and southwest
northeast lines, with probably a third
series nearly at right angles to the
last. These fracture planes are either
vertical or approach that position,
but do not carry ore in the shales.
The only ore bearing quartz deposits
in the shales are limited in length
and lie in the bedding of the shales
which have been tilted at a low angle
to the southeast. These outcrops
occur chiefly ear the rhyolites, and
show only slight naturalization with
a low gold tenor and no lead. The
brittle fssile shales have been un-
favorable to the formation of stable
crevices, but the thermal agencies
appear to have expended their energy
along the lines of assuring in the
limestones, by impregnating the over
lying shales, near the contact, with
lime carbonates, and converting them
into dirty yellowish white calcareous
shales, with %calcspar, and mammil-
larry coatings in the large interspaces.
In only a few of the old workings is
there any evidence of intrusive bikes
being associated with the ores, but
as this evidence consists of rock frag.
ments on the old dumps, the relation
ship is obscure.
As might be expected from the
foregoing resume, the ore-bodies,
while numerous, are of the non
persistent type in length, though the
district in the last thirty-6ve years
has produced, according to hearsay,
some $500, 600 in ores which have
averaged over 500 per ton. The
last work of consequence was done in
1887, and at the present time the
available surface ore bodies are
entirely Or nearly exhausted in most
cases, and the search for others in
depth is handicapped by the lack o
water, and by a country which, from
its low relief, does not lend itsel
readily to deep tunneling.-R. f
Stretch, in E. and M. Journal.

be pressed into any form, much the
same as lead might be, writes William
r. Stewart, in the Cosmopolitan. Up
to that time all glassware had been
blown, either off-hand or in a mould,
and considerable skill was required
and the process was slow. The glass
manufacturers laughed at the carpen-
ter, but he went ahead and built a
press. and now the United States is
the greatest pressed glassware cOun-
try in the world.
In 1890 a novice in the plateglas
industry, Henry Fleckner, Of Pitts
burg, whose only knowledge Of glass
had been acquired in window-glass
factory, invented an annealing ''lehr,"
the most important single improve
ment ever introduced in plate-glass
manufacture In three hours by the
lehr the same work is done which
under the old kiln system required
three days. In four years the impor-
tation of foreign crown and plate
glass into the United States fell in
value from $2,OOO,OOO to 100000.
About the same year Philip Argo-
bast, of Pittsburg, also a novice in
the glass making, invented process
by which bottles and jars may be
made entirely by machinery, the
costly blow-over process being avoided
and the expense of bottle-making re-
duced one-half. The result has been
that more bottles and jars are used in
month now than in twelve months
ten years ago.

A RICH GOLD NINE.
For Several Years Eager Fortune Seeker
Worked Over 1t.

For Several Years Eager Fortune Seekers
Worked Over 1t.
A tale is told of rich gold mine in
extended above the surface of the
ground in clear, solid ridge several
feet high and entirely distinct from the
surrounding formation. This ledge was
long and unbroken and lay directly
across the course which hundreds Of
prospectors took every year to reach
other gold fields. This obstruction Of
rock, the great value of which was
long unknown, was too high to be sur
mounted by pack animals, so the pros
pectors cut trail directly through it.
For several years these eager gold
seekers passed backward and forward
over this trail in search of gold mines.
One night prospector camping near
this ledge of rock picked up a bit Of it
and from force of habit took 1t to a
creek near by and washed it. Then he
examined the stone, and, to his great
astonishment, he found "colors'' in il
bits of sparkling gold. The pros.
pector does not mistake gold when he
sees it. He is not leluded by iron
crystals or bits of mica, as the "tender
FOOT frequently is. The gold sparkle
is clearer and brighter than that of any
| other mineral, and it is the same il
sunshine and shadow
The prospectOr, tremendously ex
cited, broke of more pieces Of tn,
| ledge and found more CT it bearing
| free gold. Then he located his claim
and that was the beginning of a ricl
mine. Yet for years the sagest of pros
pectors had passed over this trai
through the cut in this ledge, never sus
pecting its value, although by it's yer.

A HINT ON WEDDING.

The earth is seemingly able to pro-
duce weeds or grass, whether fertile
or poor, ind they always appear at
the sam, time, when the crops need
the most care. Weeds are beneficial
to a certain extent, although injurR-
Gus, for the gardener is ollen conn
PEELED to eradicate them when he
would -ot otherwise give the garden
Lis attention. BY so doing he keeps
the soil in tine, friable condition ios-
the desired crop. Weeds, however,
should be removed as soon as they sp-
pear; by so doing the work can be
more easily done, and the stirring OK
the soil will then only be required ta
moderate depth.

has discovered that she is barren, and
what careful breeder of poultry wiz
keep hen that does not lay or that

second instance the specimen could
