Chances in Mining Mica

THE mica as it comes from the
mines is in blocks which are theoret-
ically short rhombic prisms, but prac-
ttcally are scarcely recognizable as
snch, having very rough and uneven
contour, says the Engineering Maya
zine. They have very perfect cleav-
age parallel to the base, and may be
split into laminae thinner than the
thinnest tissue paper, and these lam
mae form the familiar transparent
stove panes and lamp chimneys. The
exterior portions of these blocks are
opaque, brittle and worthless, presum-
ably from the penetration of water,
for mica soon decomposes when ex-
pcsed to any considerable weathering.
A thick layer of plates has, therefore,
to be removed from either face of the
blocks before any mica Of cQ'nner-
,ciafNsizespr-val luess ifsreached, and the
sheets split from the remainder are
surrounded by a large margin of
worthless material.
But the difficulties and losses of
mica mining are far from being all

blocks of commercial size it is rem

To carry on the back pack weigh

not only strong muscles but mastery
of balance. In the Forest, Mr..
Stewart Edward White says that the
first time he did any packing he had a
hard time stumbling a few hundred
feet with just fifty pounds on his

could carry hundred pounds and a

keep locked up for three days and
nights in dark room, placing all her
valuables on a plate. covered by a
