LUCKY GREENSBORO.
1t Is Found Only In Wonderful Mine
In South Africa.

IL IS FOUND Only In q Wonderful Mine
In South Africa.
Situated in the beautiful Kaap val
ley, in the jamestown district of Bar
bertOn, TrGnsyaal, there is a mine
known hv the name Of Verdfte. The
name YVES GiTen to It on account Of the
peculiar green stone found in the mine,
which is unknown in any other part Of
the globe. articles Of jewelry and or
naments are made Of verdite, and it
has bee3 called the lucky greensboro Of
South Africa.
The greensboro is q si1icate Of mag
nesia, CT tale, cOl0red green by nature
in the course Of its formation. Other
silfcates OF magnesia may be men
toned here, peridot, serpentine, meer-
schaum and steatite. The mine, or
rather hill, consists of three varieties
of talc-green, white and black.
But a peculiar fact is that in the
black tale there is present pure gold.
Some Of the finest specimens Of gold
bearing rock have been found at this
mine. Every one knows that gold is
found in quartz, pyrites, Or even sea
mentioned in books that gold exists In
tale.
When the verdite rock has gone
through the ordinary process Of crush
ing and the gold has been extracted the
waste Cor what IS called the shines of
gold mtne) Is used IN the manufac-
ture Of soap, grease, paint, paper, tot
let powders, gas jets, electric insula-
tors, crayons and many other articles
Of everyday use.
In fact, one might say that every.
thing got from this mine can be used
for some commercial purpose.-Cham

THE CUB FANS DREAM.
Last night he said, with shin
ing eyes,
Il dreamed that Chance was
back
l dreamed that Steiny's wallop
Once more led the old attack
| seemed to see Joe Tinker make
An old time Tinker spear,
And hear ]. Evers barking
In the shaking umpire's ear.
And, like a dream of heaven,
Where the feathered angels
sing,
| heard the shoots Of Brownie
Hit the mitt Of Johnny King.
Il cheered for Circus Sol1y
AS heNcracked one on the nose;
| saw old Jimmy Sheckard
Pick a Wallop from his toes
And with the old time flash of
speed.
Agility and science,
We mauled the Pirates to a pulp
And stamped upon the Giants"
He closed his eyes in retro
spect-
He sighed with joy-and then
kindly shot him through the
heart
Before he woke again.
