But the Acme own-ers are not without hope that they will be able to make --some private arrange ment to interest capital in the mine so they won't lose all the labor and capital they have put into it. What has militated against the Acme as well as other promising claims at Gold Hill, is its remoteness from the railroad and the deep snows that come in the winter. That the Acme is a good gold proposition, worthy the attention of capitalists and investors. Is evidenced by the fact that a mill run test made on its ore in Black Hawk, Colo., gave re-tur- ns of $21.60 a ton in gold as an aver-age of a wide vein. SMELTERS FOR WYOMING. Cheyenne's Chances for Getting- - One Are Not or the Best. Cheyenne, Wyo, Sept. 8th. Resi-dents of this city have been kept in a state of expectancy for nearly a year by the much-advertise- d plans of Ben Blanch-ard- , who promised to build a smelter here. Those who helped make up the big bonus exacted by Blanchard are im-patient at his delay in getting down to business. They, as well as others not so much interested in these plans mistrust that the scheme is nothing else than a real estate deal on a large scale. Even Blanchard's friends now admit that a boom in realty was the prime ob-ject for trying to locate a big smelting plant her. A local paper, that has done much toward "boosting" Blanchard re-cently "let the cat out of the bag." Ac-cording to this whilom organ, "Pro-moter" Blanchard relied on the assist-ance of a townsite company and the cap-ital it pledged to baild the smelter. To let him down easy or create sympathy the attempt has been made to show that BLANCHARD WAS VICTIMIZED. But our citizens were prepared for the confession that all his talk and promises were calculated to bring about a move-ment in real estate. it was oniy a snort time ago mat it leaked out that a townsite company, having headquarters in Terre Haute, Ind., was putting up money for prelimi-nary expenses, that consisted mainly of charges for advertising. Since the bubble is pricked, it is well enough to admit that any regret that may be felt or expressed will, be con-fined wholly to the owners of real estate in Cheyenne. Among mining men the smelter scheme never was regarded as likely to do them any good. They failed to see any business sense in the selection of this city as the seat of reduction works. Cheyenne is. either too near Denver to withstand competition else too remote from the sections from which the bulk of the ores could be obtained. v If there should be any occasion for the establishment of a smelter in Wyom-ing its natural location would be either at Laramie or IN THE UPPER PLATTE VALLEY. With other conditions favorable, the wisest course would be to build such a plant midway between Laramie and the North Platte river. The richest lead, copper and silver deposits of this state"' will probably be found in one or both slopes of the Medicine Bow range. To obtain the needful water 6upply a smelter would have to go either to Lara-mie or some town on the Platte near the Colorado line. . Real estate owners of Saratoga, in the Upper Platte Valley, have been talking about getting in a smelter there. But that would be as as the Chey-enne scheme. Further up the valley and handy to the Gold Hill and French Creek mines, on the east side of the valley, and the Battle Lake, Grand En-campment and Spring Creek districts, in 'the western range, a site could be found possessing greater advantages for reduction wors man eisevv nere in tne 6tate. In the event that La Plata district turns out as rich as predicted, then re-duction works would, as a natural se-quence, be attracted to the eastern slope of the Medicine Bow range and on the opposite side of the mountains from the Platte valley. In a previous issue of The Mining Age reference was made to the REMARKABLE WATER-POW- ER that could be, utilized on French creek for electrical and other methods in the treatment of ores, Capitalists have already had their attention directed to this location. It will be chosen long before anybody seriously entertains a proposition to talk about Cheyenne in connection with a smelting proposition. It will surprise people who think no development has been done in the Gold Hill district to learrfthat on one of its mines, the Acme, $9,666 worth of work has been reported officially by appraisers appointed by the court. The Acme is owned by men who not only exhausted all their own means but plunged themselves head over heels in debt to raise funds to open up that prop-erty. They certainly demonstrated their faith and backed their judgment that the Acme could be made a gold producer. Unfortunately for its owners their creditors clamored for a settlement. The money-lender- s got an order from the court for the sale of the property and for that reason an appraisal was made. Judge Knight, who made the order and is an old-tim- and in sympa-thy with the miners, wisely and consid-erately decided that there SHOULDN'T BE A FORCED SALE unless that became inevstible. It is known that a number of persons covet the Acme. They would be pleased - MIXES OF NEVADA. Operations Resumed at the Carson Mint-Prosp- ects ot a Good Baa This Fall. A company consisting of Joseph Por-ter, J. A. Miller and Louis Maestrettl, own a fine claim of antimony in LIME KILN' CANYON', about ten miles south of Austin, in Lan-der county. The ledge shows one foot of good material, and the indications point to an increase with development. Work has been resumed lately and the parties interested expect to develop some good property. This is the only anti- - valuable addition to the mining output of that section. At a special meeting of the board of directors of the OVERMAN MINING COMPANY, of Virginia City, held last week, the question of purchasing a new mill for Gold Hill was discussed. The commit-tee, consisting of M. Schmidt and M. B. English, submitted the' following report: "We visited Gold Hill, and after a care-ful investigation of the property of the company at that place, find that the stopes and breasts of ore exposed to view on the different levels, in our judgment, informed by the superintendent, A. Lackey, that the piesent outlook is a great deal better and more favorable than at any time within two years, and that in that length of time ore to the amount of 42,500 tons and 1,645 pounds has been extracted and milled. The ore will aver-age, in the opinion of the superintendent, about $17 per ton, some going probably higher and carrying about 35 per cent, of gold. Taking these for facts, and judging from the past, we are of the opinion that it would be to the interest of the stockholders to endeavor to lease a mill on favorable terms, or if not, to purchase one, if one can be procured at a reasonable amount and on terms reasonably favorable to the company." It is expected that in a short time there will be sufficient water in THE CARSOX RIVER to run the Brunswick, Vivian and other water mills, and the extraction and mill-ing of ore will then begin in good shape-- , The sinking pumps on the Crown Point' and Belcher are ready to start. They, have been tested and gave very satisfac-tory work. Wooden drain boxes are be-ing put in the tunnel and when the work is completed the pumps will be started. It is thought they will be sufficient to keep all the water drained from all the mines. - The report of the superintendent, N.' H. Shackly, of work being done on THE MOUNT DIABLO, at Virginia City, 6hows that the main-- ; stope between the fifth and sixth levels' is yielding good quantities of $40 ore. The north cross-cu- t has been driven ten--fee- t and has cut several seams of ore as-saying from $20 to $40 per ton.' ' The east drift from the fifth level is in forty feet and shows good ore. The stopes above the fourth, third and second levels show good quantities of ore, ranging, from $40 to $60 per ton. through honest report or canard, has de-veloped such notoriety that unless some pains are taken by interested persons it is likely to increase until the proportions and character of a scandal are assured. It is to be hoped that the reputed strike In the Mammoth is genuine. Should it develop, later on, that the re-ports were circulated for the purpose of bolstering up the management or justify the wisdom of a continuance of de-velopment work or prospecting in a cer-tain direction, no possible good can re-sult to the mining industry. After all has been said, it is strange that Mammoth stock wasn't boosted up a few notches by the discovery of roo to 2,000 ounce gold ore. Don't you think so? George F. Caxis. Salt Lake, Sept. 10. UTAH WEEKLY REVIEW. . Everybody talking about gold. , That is the situation up to date. Nor ts the monotony of such reports likely to be reliered for some time to come. How it will all end is a question to which, alone, conservative mining men and their number is limited ever give a thought. The gold craze continues unabated. Few silver strikes are reported, not because there haven't been any to re-cord, but due to the fact that nobody takes any interest in them. There was a rich silver discovery made during the week, at least it became known within the past seven days. That was in John Q. Packard's Key-stone mine at Eureka, where the ore reserves have been quoted as high as 53,000,000. But the Keystone is a sil-ver proposition. Gold don't enter into the calculation. In '91 the gold product was only . r8o ounces from the Key-stone. Therefore, when it was announced that on the Keystone 700 RUBY SILVER WAS STRUCK averaging $6,000 to the ton, and this gossip is not easily determinable. Cer-tain it is, though, that there appears to exist a general disposition to let Mam-moth alone. ; As intimated before, it is more difficult to obtain information from the Mam-moth company's officials than from any other set connected with a public pro-perty in Utah. Perhaps tne. Mammoth folks haven't heard this adverse comment as to methods that have been floating about. Public concern, however, ought to be quieted or satisfied on occasions like this, when news of a BIG STRIKE IS DISCOUNTED or not potent enough to create a move-ment in the stock of a company that has been and is confidently hoped to be again, a dividend payer. Flat as the mining industry has been for an entire season, when activity is ex-pected to be quickened, any hopeful sign ought to be taken advantage of. But the Mammoth's reputed good luck has not resulted in any good. Out of no spirit of malevolence, it seems opportune that a recital should be made of charges that have become a pub-lic secret. The Mclntire Brothers are under-stood to be at loggerheads. Each holds something over 100,000 out of the 400,-oooshar-es of the stock of the Mammoth. One or the other of the brothers DOMINATES THE MANAGEMENT the find excited momentary comment, only. Such a strike, a year ago, would have been great news, telegraphed far and wide and caused a sensation, not only in Eureka and Salt Lake but all over this western country, among mining men. Conditions have changed. The Keystone is shut down, ostensibly for the purpose of erecting new hoisting works; in reality, probably, because sil-ver is so low. While the strike in the Keystone caused a mere ripple, other news from the Tintie district was not thus slighted. Reference is made to the report put in circulation that the Mammoth mine was the scene of another of those surprises lhat mark the history of its operation. The public is supposed to have been let into the confidence of the men who control the Mammoth which is in itself a notable thing to the extent of being appraised that a rich ore body was dis-closed in one of the lower levels 1,000 it is said. This ore is quoted as running 200 to 2,000 ounces in gold. AN ODD THING about this report from the Mammoth was its failure to cause any movement in the stock of that company. Trading in its stock was active a year or so ago. Strikes of less value or mag-nitude seut prices bounding upwards until $4.35 was reached the highest Mammoth ever climbed. Quotations for Mammoth for several days have been $r.5o bid and $2. asked. That 6tock although it used to be a paying one has long been classed as speculative along with that of Crescent, Apex, Alliance, Anchor, Tetro, Cleveland-Co-nsolidated and others of that character. It is still regarded as such despite the good news that has been cir- - 01 tne mine. According as one mc-lntire succeeds in manipulating things he represents the 4,ins" and is held re-sponsible for any changes. Down in Tintic a common subject of discussion among mining men has been a theory as to whether or not the paying ground of the Mammoth was in the direction in which development work was pushed. Men whose judgemnt in mining matters commands for them high pecu-niary consideration, have been known to publicly assert that the Mammoth people ought to have learned long ago that they were prospecting in the wrong direction. The dead work that has been done was costly. One or more DIVIDENDS MIGHT HAVE BEEN PAID instead of passed if the expenditure of this money, from which no results were obtained, had not been made. Some who have knowledge of these facts dismiss the subject, when it is broached to them, by saying that an error in judgment was committed. Others, supposed to be equally well posted, are less charitable. Whenever mistakes are made by the managers of a mining company, they are supposed to be answerable alone to the stockholders. But it is easy to imagine that there might be cases when a community, or individuals in it, consider that explana-tions from a corporation are in order. This is true concerning public mining properties. If money is taken indiscrminately to perform certain functions its use ought to be accounted for and if the occasion arises should be explained or defended. When you are told that one of the McInMres and Mr. Cunningham, who are large holders of Mammoth stock, have eulateu regarding its tuture prospects. If there was any trading in Mammoth it was kept quiet and the sales, if any, must have been insignificant. In the face of this excitement over gold, the lack of movement in Mammoth excites comment. Last year the mine was the heaviest gold producer in Tintic, furnishing 6,000 out of the 20,000 ounces of gold sent out from that district. PASSING Of MAMMOTH DIVIDENDS. with such marked regularity for ten months, is ascribed to the lack of gold bearing ores that could be worked at a profit, since most of the yellow metal came from silver production. But here is a big gold proposition reported and Mammoth stock is not affected. There must be some reason for it. The expla-nation is sought without very satisfactory results. Ask any broker what is the matter with Mammoth and he shrugs his shoulders add says he does'nt know. There is less inclination than ever to discuss the affairs or management of the company. Opportunities enough for that sort of thing have been presented and improved by brokers and operators generally for the past two years. When a company changes superin-tendents four or five times within such a period it would be queer if criticism or discussion wasn't excited. Disinclination to talk about the Mammoth is something new. What then has wrought a change? UGLY STORIES that have found currency of late, and with which the names of some of the biggest holders of Mammoth stock have been associated may, in whole or in part, explain the close-mouthe- d policy ob-served now by outsiders. How much of truth there is in this BEEN BUYING UP CLAIMS. adjoining that big property, it is perti-nent to inquire why the company and not individual members of it didn't make these purchases. When it is taken into consideration that these newly acquired claims em-brace ground toward which the course of the Mammoth's vein is supposed to extend, the thrift of Mammoth share-holders is open to suspicion. To put yourself in the place of a man possessing important information, with a chance for turning or using it to per-sonal advantage, the temptation can be appreciated. Ethical principles are involved in such a transaction that give the public a right to criticize. If you were a director in a' company and made use of information, obtained in your official capacity, to your own personal advantage, you would anticipate that the WRATH OF SHAREHOLDERS would follow you. The acquisition of great wealth might 6erve to mitigate, in your own opinion, the enormity of the offense or betrayal of trust charged against you. There is "Jimmie" Fair, of Comstock fame, for instance. The mil-lions he made for himself and his asso-ciates out of the Bonanza may have out-weighed the obloquy heaped upon him, for using the information he gained as a superintendent and employe of others, to obtain ownership of the property. Every old Comstocker feels at liberty to abuse Fair, whether or not he had any interest in the Bonanza, that is believed to have been stolen from the rightful owners. Whatever skullduggery may be asso-- ' ciated with the Mammoth management, of rich ores.' To accommodate them the Rio Grande Railway company has con-structed a branch to the north of the tunnel and provided all needful facilities for cheap and rapid handling of its pro-duct, whereby ores from the crusher can be conveyed direct to the cars and 6ent immediately to its destination at the smelters. Not only this, but the same advantages are placed within the reach of several other prominent mines in the near vicinity. These arrangements were completed only a week ago. As noted in previous issues of The Mining Age, two entirely hew smelters have been added to the reduction works of the camp, the HOLDEN AND BIMETALLIC. Hence it will be seen that faith in the Immediate future of the district is firm enough to induce these large outlays of capital. Much confidence is placed upon numerous other plans all operating in conjunction, to augment the supplies of valuable ore. Each week brings intelli-gence of new and highly important dis-coveries in old drifts and in quarters where doubt of the existence of. mineral prevailed until some venturesome spirits took hold and demonstrated the pres-ence of great bodies. This is especially true of Big Evans and Upper Iowa gulches. Respecting the greatest enter-prise yet inaugurated, from which splen-did re'sults are anticipated the drainage of the Leadville Basin the Her at savs: "The station ODDOsite the ORES OF COLORAltO. Ieadvllle the Capstone of the Arch of Pros-perity, Leadville, Sept. 8. This section of the Upper Arkansas Valley for thirteen years has been accounted the richest and most productive 6ilver-lea- d mining dis-trict of the world. Its fame has been universal. Scarcely a man of the pres-ent generation but knows something of its history. During the conclave, thou-sands of Knights Templar and their friends availed themselves of the verv cordial invitation extended them by the citizens of the "Cloud City" to visit and enjoy the bounteous hospitality provided for them. Indeed, the crush was so great the Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado Midland railways were crowd-ed to their utmost capacity to furnish transportation.- - The greater part of the freight traffic had to be sidetracked and held until after the immense multitude of passengers should have returned to the valley. Several of the smelters were seriously interrupted by the non-recei- pt of coke from the Jerome Park ovens and thereby compelled to shut down. Leadville is, unquestionably, the cap-stone in the arch of Colorado's prosperity. In making our calculations of the mineral and bullion product of the state each year, it forms the basis. Until 1879 when the marvellous deposits previously discovered there became known to the world at large as a distinct revelation, the precious metal returns, from the state were insignificant less than two millions a year. Immediately afterward they advanced to ten millions, then to twenty, thirty and so on; until at the close of 1891 the total was placed at $35,000,000. It gave encouragement to the industry at large, causing it to 6pread over enormous areas of territory and in the passing years has brought to light thousands bf mineral bearing veins, which now form the greatest mining state of the American Union. But for the unfortunate condition of the silver market, from the resources thus opened, Colorado would now be the richest commonwealth, per capita, of any beyond the Mississippi river. The two largest producers of the dis-trict at the present time, but of which least is said in the local press, are the Henrietteand MAID OP ERIN' COMBINATION bfg pump at the 410-fo- ot level of the Penrose was completed on the morning of the 1st. This station is to receive a large and powerful pump capable of handling several hundred gallons of water per minute. Besides this, another large pump is to be stationed at some point in the shaft. All that remains to be done before drain-ing the water to the bottom is to get these pumps in working order, which will be done in the next four days. Everything will then be in shape to dis-pose of the water problem and the bot-tom of the shaft will undoubtedly be reached in the next ten days. The shaft is now almost completely lined with pumps, and as the two new boilers re-cently put in are ready at short notice to furnish as much steam-powe- r as will be required, the outlook is better at present than at any previous time in the history of the mine." The outlay of time and labor ha been very great, but the prom-ise of reward when the ores known to be there can be reached, justifies it. The same high authority tells us that another body of ore, sixteen feet wide in the breast, has been struck in an old incline run from one of the lower levels in the Valley shaft, a property long prac-tically deserted, but now a bonanza. This constitutes ..the third consecutive ore chute cut. bju this incline. From later developments it proves to be an extension of THE FOREST ROSE CHUTE, one of the well-know- n and important ore bodies of the district. Again, a fine body of excellent or was recently dis-covered in the St. Louis, bordering on the Fanny Rawlings lines in Big Evans, where a vein of fine lead carbon-ates was found in a distinct channel in the lime. The late strike in the Pawn-- olis turns out to be much larger than had ever been anticipated. The ore is a and the A. 1 ., and Minnie. JJotn are very extensively developed, cover large areas, and supply more than any others to the aggregate tonnage sent to local and outside smelters. For years past the average value of the Leadville out-put has been about $12,000,000, more than one third of the annual total. What it will amount to this year cannot now be correctly estimated, but it will not be far from $10,000,000, even in the face of lower prices than were ever be-fore known in the history of that metal. The shipments from theHenriette and Maid since last 6pring have been less, undoubtedly, than they were during the corresponding period of 1891, due to the impossibility of extracting profit from certain grades which constitute the bulk of the vein matter. Its rich carbonate deposits that, until recently, furnished a considerable portion of all produced in Colorado, have been practically ex-hausted, but its volume of sulphides and copper ores is still maintained. Mr. Charles L. Hill, general manager of the A. Y., and Minnie, one . of the largest mines in the world, measured by the mineral reserves blocked out, informs me that they are now opening tremen-dous bodies of fine lead carbonate, and that the property is in better condition than ever before. Since this deposit was encountered, late last spring, the shipments have constantly increased. In July, 1800 tons were marketed, 300 tons of high grade sulphides, and 1,500 tons of carbonates. The resources of this combination are simply incalcu-lable, and if all reports from the lately developed treasures in the Emmons group are to be credited, that property will soon take its place very near the head of the corner. Within the year, also, the Silver Cord has come to the front with some remarkable disclosures nne quality 01 iron, carrying nign vaiue silver. The Mahala has immense reserves of ore in sight, but is only shipping enough 300 to 400 tons a month to cover run-ning expenses of - heavy development work. A good strike has also been made in the Lime-Smuggl- er shaft on the Lime. At 195 feet the workmen broke into an extension of the famous Imes gold chute, and the assays give 2j ounces gold per ton. The streak is three feet wide in the breast. Another ore chute measuring four feet was lately opened in the Doris, the second in that property during August. The First National is on the top wave of prosperity. The strike of good min-eral lately "made in a west drift at the 150-fo- ot level, has been supplemented by another in the opposite side of the shaft. It consists of a four-foo- t vein of steel galena,' running well in silver. In the west drift from whence considerable mineral is now being mined, in course of development has widened to nearly four feet; a fine grade of sulphides carrying much gold and also high in silver. A large amount of work has been done on the Pocahontas, and since the ore from which shipments are now being made was struck last month, something like 500 tons of high grade iron-6ilv- er were shipped, besides a large amount of lead carbonates. That an important revival is going on IN ALL QUARTERS OF LEADVILLE district is shown by the encouraging re-ports that come from day to day, not the least of which appears in the material increase of railway traffic which is large-ly in excess of 1891. Some heavy opera-tions are also going on in Robinson and Kokomo districts across the range, that bid fair to restore the former prestige of that once noted region. 3I1XES OF WASHINGTON. Newty Items of Progress In the Mining Camps of the Northwest. Seattle, WasU,, Sept. 8. Work is progressing steadily on the Everett and Monte Cristo railroad which will tap the Monte Cristo mining district, when completed. Trains will be running in the early part of the winter and every-thing will be ready for the hauling out of silv er ore next spring. Miners are re-joicing while the workmen are putting the mines in shape for active operations. Several of the principal leads are at least one thousand feet up the mountain sides and to carry the ore to the railroad a i . - wire rope will be used. Joseph L. Cleveland, president of the principal mining companies in the district, is re-ported as saying of the " MONTE CRISTO MINES. "The body and position of the ores re-mind me of the iron deposits we have been working along Lake Superior. About half of the precious metal in this ore is gold. Sixty per cent, of the ore must be concentrated." For this latter purpose a concentrator will be erected at Monte Cristo. Mr. Colby has selected Everett, the Sound terminus of his rail-road, as a site for his smelter. A com-pany has been incorporated with $900,-00- 0 capital. There is much activity in the RUBY CREEK DISTRICT, north of Monte Cristo in the Cascade mountains. The trail to the district is now completed, with three wire bridges, one 254 feet long, the second 180 feet, and the third 160 feet, across the Rapid river. The wire had to be cut into pieces of 100 pounds each arid carried up by Indians. Nearly all the land along Ruby creek is staked out in mining claims, most of them gold placers, and one hydraulic mine is now in operation. Several rich ledges of free milling gold quartz have also been found around the headwaters. - Gold has been discovered in the Cas-cade foothills in Thurston county. ON PORTER CREEK prospectors have found gold ore assaying $20 per ton. Free milling gold has also been struck on Orcas Island, in the arch- - . 1 . 1 .1. J . t T"l 4. J lpeiau tL Luc uuriu cuu ui licl suuuu. On the Pacific ocean beach, a little south of Cape Flattery, several miners are working a gold placer which, with the most primitive means of operations, pays them $4 a day each. The gold is found in the black sand as fine as gun powder and very close to the water. It is thought that land slides from the hills brought the sand there. In eastern Washington the main activity is - IN OKANOGAN COUNTY, north of the centre of the state. .The Canadian Pacific railway has now- - open a line into the region, and is doing a large traffic in passengers, supplies, and minning machinery. The route is from Sicamous on the main line of the Cana-dian Pacific, fifty-on- e miles by a branch to the head of Okanogan lake, eighty miles by steamer to the foot of the lake, and thence forty miles by stage to the international boundary, or sixty miles to Loomiston in this state.. From the Slocan- mining district, in British Columbia, just north of Idaho, the first ore has been shipped. It came from J. F. Wardner's . FREDDIE LEE MINE, and was brought in sacks on the backs of mules to the Columbia river; by boat to th - Little Dalles, in this 6tate ; by the Spokane . and Northern railroad to Spokane, and by the Northern Pacific to East Helena. The transportation and treatment of this ore costs at present $75 a ton, but since the average assay is $264 a ton, there is a marginf or profit. . Ulti-mately the product of the Slocan mines will go over the Canadian Pacific to Puget sound. ' The government has re-served a townsite at New Denver, in this district, and at a recent government 6ale 100 of the lots brought $375 each. Relics ef Cliff Dwellers. C. H. Hallet of Denver has been pros-pecting in the Henry Mountains, Utah, for the past six months. He has located several good gold and copper claims in the district. But ond specimen secured while exploring thei country he considers of more value as a mineral relic. It is a piece of gold about 2 inches long, ri wide and 1 inch thick. It is 913 grains fine, and the block contain-- ; $341 in gold. He found it in a small room of the Cliff-Dwelles- s' habitations. There was a series of three rooms. The front room was rather large, the second a little smaller and the third quite small, as if used as. a pantry or store room. This room contained some 25 pieces of pottery and other things, and this pieces' of gold. In stirring about in the fine, dust, which was five or six inches deep he stirred the block over several times Finally he picked it tip and was much,! surprised at its weight. He afterwards cut off a piece and had It analyzed with; the result above given. Of all the numerous and abnndanb relics that have thus far been found among the cliff dwellings, this is the first and only specimen of. mineral that we have yet heard of. It has evidently-bee- n melted in some kind of a rough-pa-possibly in the sand. Carry(ng"' out its circular shape it would form aJ cake about six inches in diameter. From" its appearance this would seem to have been its original form and has evidently-bee-chipped off, as if it were a currency among the people. It ha6 been cot down to its present size by rough and blunt instruments. - Do Your Teeth Ache? 1 ' i g . 1 1 ! I ; DR. CARR Extracts Teeth Free! ; 1 tj i " ' P r ' - ' Without Pain! Without Pay!
