History of Ivory.

The earliest recorded history-we
might say prehistoric, the hieroglyph-
ical-that has come down to us has
been in carvings on ivory and bone.
Long before metallurgy was known
among the prehistoric races carvings
on reindeer horn and mammoth tusk
evidence the antiquity of the art
Fragments of horn and ivory engraved
with excellent pictures of animals have
been found in caves and beds of riv-
ers and lakes. There are specimens
In the British museum, also in the
Louvre, of the Egyptian skill in ivory
carving attributed to the age of Moses
In the latter collection are chairs OF
seats Of the sixteenth century B. c..
inlaid with ivory and other pieces of
the eleventh century B. G. Carving Of
the precious substance" was extern
sively carried on at Constantinople dur
ing the middle ages. Combs, caskets,
horns, boxes, ETC., of carved ivory and
bone, often set in precious stones, OF
the old Roman and Anglo-Saxon peri
DDS are frequently found In tombs.

The management. he states, still is

moking for the point where this m.
raise will tap that level, and the drift
to catch the same chute on the 100 foot

possible. In addition to these drifts
Mr, jacobson states that the company
is sinking three shafts The main. or
No 3 Shaft, is being sent down from

en- so far a distance of about 25 feet.
When asked how far on the 40O-foot

would be necessary to drive a drift TO
tap the new chute above mentioned,
Mr.. Jacobson could give no figures ow

"The pool in the stock of the Ely
