(By w. p. Dewolf. Special Representa-
tive of The News.)
Manhattan, New, Aug. ga deal has
been practically closed here for the sale
of the Wolftone mine. Its consumma-
ton is anticipated within ten days.
Negotiations are also On for the pur-
chase of the Gold Wedge n Little Grey
estates by the parties who are behind
the Wolftone deal.
N. Westheimer of No. 143 West Broad
way, New York City. is the gentleman
who represents the capitalistic end Of
the negotiations.
Mr.. V;estheimer. accompanied by E. A.
Hardy. a mining engineer with world
wide experience, arrived In Manhattan
on August 18th and remained in camp
until August 18th. in the interim max
ing examination of the Wolftone. Little
Grey and Gold Wedge estates, and In
specting the mineral conditions OF the
district in general.
The ,tsnlt Of ;neir inspection is Mr..
y esthe n els avowed inteat'on to Sc
cure control of all three pr )perties. and
particularly the Wolftone.
The ration of thu Wolftone
made by Messrs. westheimer and Hardy
was somewhat more exhaustive than
that at the Gold Wedge and Little Grey,
but in each instance the gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves as decidedly well
pleased with mineral indications and
with the gold value of ore bodies blocked
out. In speaking of what they saw at
the Wolftone Messrs. Wastheimer and
Hardy took occasion to compliment SUI
perintendent Rogers on the excellent
manner in which he is developing the
property. stating that 1t is the best
piece of mining they had seen in camp,
and that for the depth attained and
ground opened up 1t compared favorably
with any piece of mining work they had
inspected during man. years experience
in the mining fields Of the world.
Mr.. westheimer Is a pioneer OF Me-
vada and California and the possessor
of a large fortune whose nucleus was
obtained from the riches of the silver
burdened lodges of h famous Com
stock lode, in the days when the white
metal was the lure which enticed men
into the expanse of natures vast dis
tances and to top the loftiest peaks OF
the eternal hills. He is president OF the
Standard Consolidated Mining company,
whose mine at Bodie. Cal, has produced
to date 1 1882. 0s5.4o in gold and silver
bullion according to the statement made
by Mr.. westheimer in his last annual
report to the stockholders. He Is also
heavily interested in the gold and silver
mines of British Honduras. For a num-
Der of years Mr.. Hardy was general
manager Of the Westheimer interests
there, being forced to leave his post re-
rout1v owfuO to I'll health.
Although the gentlemen were reticent
in regard to the price offered for the
WoIftone, Little Grey and Gold Wedge
holdings they did admit to your corre-

COAL nux1xa N =

The general method Of mining Goa in
Japan is the pilIar-and-room system. the
size of the pillars being about sixty-six
feet square. The cutting of coal Is al
most entirely done by manual labor. The
amount of coal mined per miner per ten
hours is two and one-half tons under
normal conditions. and when robbing
pillars the output per miner per ten
hours is increased to three tons. Tim
bering is seldom necessary in the mines,
as the roof is generally of hard sand
stone. Steel and bricks are principally
used in building overcasts. As most
mires are very wet. pumping water is
the most important factor in mine oper-
atoms. In the Mike mines. where the
daily output is about -four thousand
tons, there are eighty pumps in use.
About 80 per cent of this number are
used in collecting the water at the
foot of the shaft. The daily output Of
water is about four thousand gallons
per tor of coal hoisted. against. soc feet
head.-Pacihc Miner.

Answering a California inquiry. Con-
sui General Hector de Castro. of Rome
advises that m~agnesite and magnesia
clay deposits are found in northern Italy
IN the province Of Turin. He adds:
Italy produces annually about l'soo
tons of suiphate Of magnesium. 500 tons
of c~alcinated magnesia. and e25 tons OF
magnesite. The Kingdom exports some
$50 tons of sulphate of magnesium ana
imports $50 tons Of chloride Of magne-
sum-. exporting about one-half OF the
latter amount. The domestic production
appears to suffice for the home con-
sumption and is apt to be increased ac-
cording to necessities. Italy would not
seem to offer a market for similar for
eign pfoducts.-Pacidc Miner.

Kissing like a sullen Geyser, the

flaming eyes. Ridge OF her tawny
back brushed up In rage, tail aswitch,
steel sinews rigid beneath soft skin,
she gared at her four pups in the

fur sprawled on unsteady legs across
toward her, Out shot mighty fore
