AstroIorers Were Wrong.

According to the astro!ogers. the
world was to have come to an end on
Sept. 16, 1856. They had observed
with awe that at sunrise on that day
there would be conjunction or all
the planets in Libra and no Coubt the
argument was that such collection
would be altogether too much for the
balance of the universe. When 1t ar
rived, Sept. 16 proved to be very
ordinary twelfth-century day. In 1924
astrology plucked up courage to try
again This time there was to be
universal deluge, on the strength OF
the meeting of three planets In the
sign of Pisces, and a private Noah's
ark was actually built for the occa.
sion by devout believer at Toulouse.

Death of Mrs Coksr-Perssnal and
Industrial Notes.

CADEs. Oct. 1S-Cades is get
ting on a business boom now.
Mr. P H Pierce's livery stables
are almost completed and he
will be ready for business in a
few days. This enterprise is
one that has been needed at
Cades for some time. Hereto
fore people have been put to a
great deal of inconvenience
about getting a conveyance out
to other points from here, and it
will certainlysupply a long felt
want. Mr. Pierce is originally
from Darlington county and is a
hustler, and there is no reason
why he should not be success
full with business of this kind.
He will sell stock or trade and
do a general livery business.
Cotton is coming in lively.
Both gins, that of Hartsville and
Sauls Bros, are running on full
time, and then there is cotton
left over after knocking off time
at night. We need another gin
here the worst sort.
Good times seem to be pre-
vailing just now with the farm
ers around here. They are pay
ing their debts and have some
thing left over. A good many
will take in the State fair to
meet their farmer friends and
confer about the State farmers
association. This movement
has aroused much attention with
the soil tillers throughout this
section and it really looks as If
something will be done. We
only hope that this effort on the
part of the farming class will
not fall through as has been the
case heretofore.

Very truly yours
"Washinpton Anril %. l904

washington, April 23, 1904.
Dear Sir In reply to your favor of
the 18th inst, | beg 10 make the follow
ing report or the sample of ore forward.
by you: "The ore is essentially light
yellowish gray rock composed of a
quartz gangue, carrying as secondary
mineral feldspar and a foliated mineral
decomposing to q yellow ochre, which
appears to be in the nature of diallage,
form Of augite. / have made large
number of careful assays of the ore, and
find that it yields small amounts of
platinum. This occurrence of platinum
in q rock of this nature is N ost unusual
So much so that unless you are very
positive as to the way this ore has been
collected, should sugg est extreme care
as TO whether or not it has been 'salted"
or in anyway tampered with. The
American supply of platinum is very
small, and has been obtained in recent
years principally as a secondary product
from gold placer deposits in California.
The occurrence OF the metal has also
been reported in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho, Montana and Alaska. 1t is also
found to some extent associated with
the noble metals Osmium, Palladium
and Iridium, at the Rambler mine, Al
bany county, Wyoming. In all cases,
however, with which | am familiar ex-
cept in this present case, platinum is
found associated with very basic mag.
nesium rocks of which the mineral SER
pentine is a common alteration product.
| Now this rock of yours is just the opp0s
ite, instead of being basic formation, it
| is very acidic in its character. 1t is al
most, if not quite impossible careful mic
roscopic examinations haye sometimes
seemed to indicate that the platinum
was associated with iron i'm very minute
grains occurring in the yellow orcherish
mineral above mentioned. The ore also
carries small amount ofdark brownish
black mineral composed largely of iron
and maganese. Now as to the amount
in which the platinum appears to occur
! it is almost impossible to say from mere
| labratory tests what the ore wonld run
when milled on large scale, as it is
difficult TO get two assays that will run
exactly the same quantities which it is
necessary TO use. From the average of
a number of analyses made, am not in
clined to believe that the platinum is
present in any larger quantity than say
2 TO 3 Of an ounce to the ton. In some
cases have obtained even less than i
of an ounce. 1t is possible also that like
most American platinum, this carries a
small proportion Of Iridium and Osmi-
iridium. haye not been able however,
to get any more than the barest indica.
ton of the presence of these metals. II
lie apparent that this ore is not very rich
and the question remains still to be
answered whether it ia commercial
proposition. 1t is probable that the ore
might be by some method easily con.
