Dry Goods.

New York, March 6.-The local dry
goods market was not affected today by
the general excitement in Wall street Sc
curities. The causes for the rise in prices
are based, it is said, on legitimate mer-
camille conditions, primarily a shortage
of production emphasized by very large
domestic consumption due to general pros
perity. Shortage in merchandise is
powerful factor in the minds of mer-
chants, and so long as they see no relief
in an increased production or vastly in
creasing production, they are convinced
that today's values will represent their
level for distribution.

FREMoNr COUNTY DEPOSITS
ARE RICHEST IN U. S

It is not generally known that the
mica deposits of Fremont county ex-
coed in area and richness those Of
any similar territory in the United
States, yet such is the case and they
are destined to become an important
asset in its wealth. At the top Of
the Royal Gorge, at Micanite, on
Beaver creek, aud half dozen other
places in the county, this useful min
eral is found In paying quantities.
and that NO little sys tomato effort
has hitherto been made to exploit it
is somewhat surprising.
During the last few years multi
tude Of new uses has been found for
mica in its various forms and the
demand for 1t in the industrial arts
has become 30 great that a stimulus
has been given to mining it and pre-
pairing it. for market. It is used for
. hundred purposes; indeed there is
practically no limit to the require
ments for it, either in its native state
or when ground into -four. In the
latter form 1t becomes an ingredient
In the manufacture Of paint, is used
in giving the gold effect to wall paper,
and becomes an agent in the process Of
vulcanizing rubber. In its crude
condition it is substitute for many
of the purposes for which Using lass
WAS formerly required, particularly
in making washers for electrical
machinery Of all kinds.
At the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia in 1875, sheets of native
mica from this county, eighteen by
twenty -four inches in size, were
shown. They attracted much attcn-
tion at that time and ut no subse-
quent exposition have they been
equnlled either in quality or dimen.
