A Curious Mineral.

Perhaps the most curious mineral
found in the United States is stauro-
lite, otherwise known as the fairy
stone" This is an ron-aluminum sill
icate found only in Virginia and North
Carolina, the reddish brown and the
brownish black crystals occurring in
we'll defined single and double crosses.
There is some commercial demand for
the crosses as curios, which are worn
las watch charms or on chains In the
manner of a locket or lavaliere-a de-
mand perhaps stimulated by the quaint
legend which is told of their origin;
1.-THE fairies living in the cav OF the
mountains, on hearing the sad tidings
of the death of Christ, fashioned these
crosses as mementos of Him.

AN ANCIENT SEA.
Evidences That 1t Covered Western
and Central North America.


Many million years ago long befor'
the birth of the Rocky mountains, {
large inland sea spread over the west,
ern and central parts of North Ameri'
ca. In geologic language the invasion
of this sea occurred in Mississippiar
time-a period Just preceding the one
in which the bituminous and anthra-
cite coal beds that extend over por-
lions of central and eastern North
America were formed. This sea COW
cred much of the present site of the
Rocky mountain area, the central
plains, and at times a part of the great
plains in the United States. At differ
ent times 1t opened into the Arctic
ocean on the north, the Pacific on the
south, and probably the Gulf of Mex
leo on the southeast,
This incursion of salt water was not
the first or the last to invade the Am
erican continent. AT each incursion

with sea shells and other animal re-

and upon the sea floor. Strange as II
may seem, most of these rocks formed
ages ago now stand above sea level
and constitute plains, plateaus, AND
even mountains.
Animal life was very abundant in
this Mississippian sea. Nearly If not
at all the classes of animals now liv-
ing were present. Sharks and fishes,
though different in appearance from
the present forms, sported along the
shore or swan the deep. Sea lilies or
crinoids, animals built on h same
general plan as the starfish but hay
ing a calcareous cup with an attached
stem, decorated the sea floor, Sea
shells belonging to the same class as
the oysters and snails were there. The
lamp shells, or more technically speak
ing the brachiopods, resembling but
terflies, mingled with a corkscreW-
like sea net. Other forms, minute and
large, figured in this life and hav"
been wonderfully well preserved to the
present time. Finally this sea bot
tom began to rise, and at length II
emerged; the waters withdrew to the
deep basins, and land life was substi-
tued for marine.
Bulletin 595, written by G. H. Girty
and lust published by the u. S, geo
logical survey, describes the fossil
shells of animals living at one time in
this ancient sea in the vicinity of
Batesville, Ark.

BUNKER HILL AT EXPOSITION.
Remarkable Exhibit of Underground
Workings. by BIG Lead Mine.

"Metallurgy at the Exposition" is
the subject of an interesting article in
a recent issue of the Mining and
Scientific Press, from which the fol-
lowing reference to an exhibit by the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan is taken:
"One would think that the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan company had bodily
transferred one of its slopes from
of this LEAD -silver ore 6 per cen lead
and 8 ounces silyer) took a mining
engineer and his assistant two
months; the total expense of this
small exhibit was $4,000. This repro
duction of an actual working face is
excellent. The facility for artificially
constructing an ore body has often
been used for fraudulent purposes in
various parts of the world. In one
case an expert found that the mine
had been Quilted behind an artificial
wall a few feet thick; in another the
perpetrators of the fraud were victims
of their W lack of faith, as the
would-be victims eventually found
rich silver ore. This was in a noted
silver-lead mine in Nevada, some SO
years ago.. The Bunker Hill exhibit
shows an ordinary waste-filled stope
a much commoner system than that of
the Homestake. Among the photo
graphs on the wall, those that show
the wreck of the Wardner mill after
it was dynamited on April 20, 1899, by
a thousand or more miners who came
on a captured railway train, and the
photograph of the ill-famed 'bull-pen'
in which several hundred miners were
subsequently imprisoned, should be of
special interest to students of our in
dustrial history. A Baldwin Westing-
house storage battery (Edison) loco
motive, hauling two 25-ton cars of ore
just filled from a chute, is ready to
pass out of the level. On the lower
evels storage batteries are used; troll
leys appear in the main adit."

Yesterday, August 26th, George A.

1885; U, S. dime. 1896; U. S. dime.
1862; u. S. half dime, 1871.
Also a few nice quartz specimens. a
lot of heavy black sand and some fine
gold. The old coins are somewhat

The foregoing list was the find of but

ne washes out quite a number If coins
and occasionally gold rings and vari-

The principal part of the box sluic-
ing work is, of course, to recover the
placer gold in the creek which has
been eroded and washed from the
many gold quartz stringers, strata
and veinlets that trend northward be-
meath Placerville. These veins have
been for ages past cut and crumbled
by the creek waters and the elements,
and thus compelled by natures work
to give up their golden treasures,
which nov permeate the gravel and
sand of all creeks and waterways that
cross the veins.
