An Interesting Experiment.

A vessel containing certain white
powder is placed upon the table, when
the operator advances, waving his
wand and uttering some magic words
coined by himself, when, 10, of a sud
den the room is lighted up with a bril-
liant light, so effulgent that it dims the
eyes of the spectators. Tie secret is
this: The powder is composed Of equal
weights of loaf sugar and chlorate of
potash, separately reduced to fine pow
der and then we'll mixed together. This
is placed in cup, and when the pow
der is touched with the least drop Of
sulphuric acid it will instantly burst
into a fame. The end of the glass rod
should be dipped in the acid immediate
ly before use.

stones. There is one on the memorial
of Susannah Barford, died 1862, act. 10

lines beneath the skull and crossbones
on her monument are:
Her stage was short. her thread was

 pany for S30,000. The company is composed of Los Angeles capital ists and was represented in the
 deal by x. H. Hamilton of that city. Fred N. Chandler is to have
 charge of the mine.
 Copper Era: X. M. Potter, who has a lease on the Buzzard's Sha-
 dow, owned by the Home Copper Company, came in last week to spend Christmas and New Year in town. He has been taking out some remarkably lich ore. and is making big money on his lease. He had two assays made while in town. One of them went 136 ounces gold and 76 ounces silver, and the other 122 ounces gold and l30 ounces silver.
 Mohave Miner; E. s. Osborne and number of wealthy PaAadena capitalists have organized the Re- venue Copper and Gold Mining Company, with a capitalization of 100000 one dollar shares.
