Death was the result of blood poisoning. .Mrs Gebo was about the first, worn in in Frank. She came here'with her husband, S. W.

This instrument consists essentially of a strip of platinum loil, •.ipon which small fragments of mineral are laid. The platinum is gradually heated by lhe passage of an electr'u- current", until the mineral melts; the temper:iture of llie foil being obtained by a calculation based upon the resistance of the platinum, the observed strength of tbe current, and the rate at which heat is radiated from tlie foil, as determined by careful observations. This method is especially useful in minerals that can be had " only in small fragments. , There are three important metals that do not occur native, namely iir, zinc"and nickel. Iron occurs native in infinitesimal quantities. Native lead is a decided rarity., Quicksilver occurs native in small quantity. Native zinc .was. reported from Georgia years ago, native tin was reported occurring in Siberian gold placers, native,- nickel was supposed to hlive been found in Caledonia. Investigation proved these discoveries untrue. Nature in her -mHrve!niiijJaboratories__^-orked rut *>■ * ~~y iously, failing to produce a grain ol either of-these metals in native -..state, Mammoth cave,' Kentucky, is located in lldmorison country, 85 miles southwest of Louisville, Ivy. Its real diameter, is about ten .miles, while to date fully 100'.t-a'-Vs of "passageways have been,explored- including avenues, chambers, pits, doii.cs.and rivers. -Tlie main cave is three miles long, running in width from forty to 175 feet, and in height from 40 to"i2S.'feet. Its greatest hall or dome i-» known as Chief City, or t «pie, ah is ah oval room 541 feet long, 287 feet wide,' and 125 feet high. The s called star chamber mimics lhe starry heavens, because of its •> lofty' calling, composed -of black oxide of manganese.flecked with; crystals of gypsum. The cavern exists in live successive tiers, through which al various points shafts have been cut, that are known as pits or domes. The largest are the bottomless pit, Gorins dome, the Mammoth dome and the Miielstrom, their average, depth being 100 leet. . Oval" depressions, locally known.sis sink holes,,> drain through the pits and chasms and for *i. subter raneati lakes and streams that finally find an outlet to the neighboring- Green river. The largest of the rivers is the Kcho river, a couple.of miles in length. Beyond what ,<is known as River, Hall, long avenues extend, which are most beautifully lined with gypsum crystals. A feature of, the cave is that.even to the deepest pits the atmosphere is both chemically .'and optically pure all the year around. Mount Fernie Lodge No. 47 \\0, J^^S, 6.F."

In the stony meteorites mineral combinations occur which are peculiar to these bodies and.serve as one of the main features in recognizing them when they were not seen at the time of their fati. .* :.. -;.'-,' ■ At Livet, France, the Keller electric fugtaces for smelting iron ore are vat- shaped, and connecting at their lower ends"by a central well; four are usually grouped together, The current used in the' trial-runs varied between 10.600 and 12.000 amperes,' at, voltages from 63 to'68; and die energy absorbed' was 0.25 h. p.; year per'ton of'a while pig .iron containing little.silicon, and manganese, and 6.'S3 h. p. year for a gray ironNmore silicioui. rf The coke used averaged 767 pounds per'ton of pig iron produced, and the ' estimated.'cost of electrodes was 84 cents per ton of iron. ; Burned lime when fed into . the crusher with copper ore, : or milk of lime added to the tailing launder,, will neutralize the free acid and" precipiUte the metallic salts which adhere to the iron of lhe machines and the pipe work ir. the concentrators.

J.nd Gilifnrnia. In 1821 Mexico threw open her mines to foreigners, offering,, special facilities and inducements. Tho ' real history of Mexican mines dates from tlie. advent of, l.nglisli nod American capital into that country. which are cleaned, scraped and. cut with a knife, the mineral being still soft and readily , cut into any shape wanted.' The annual output of- meerschaum does, not exceed 150 tons.,, li is soft when first mined, but hardens when dry; Close upon 5,000,000 persons', were employed in mining and quarrying iii the world in 1903. ' It is estimated that more than half were engaged in mining coal alone; Great Britain employing over ihree-quarters of'a million, the United States and Germany over half a million each, France 167,000; Beiguim 139,000; Austria 121,000, and India 86,000. The world's production, of coal in 1903'was 881,000,000 metric tons, valued at more than 1,550,000,- 000: Of this quantity the United States contributed 318,000,000 tons, or about 36 per cent. Marbles are'rounded balls of broken clay, marble, agate and, other mineral substances, ln Saxony, where' are made millions of those playthings, the mineral most used is a - hard, calcareous stone, that is first broken up into square blocks with a hammer. These are then thrown tod or more > together into a mill that is constructed of a sta- tionary flat slab of stone, with a num* ber of concentric, furrows upon its face. Over this a block of rock.of the same diameter, partially. resting upon the small stones, is kept revolving, 'while water flows upon-lhe atone'slab. ^Jn 15 minutes the marbles are worn completely round, and arc ready * for marr ket. An'v'-estai-iiishincntwith three mills will turn out -60,000 marbles - in •a week. Agates are made into marbles at Oberstein. Germany, by first chipping the pieces neai-4y round with a hammer, and then wearing them down upon the face of a large grindstone. Smelters in California buy.' Che quiirtz from the miners for-fluxing purposes, paying on assay value. \o this way some hundreds of small .mines are enabled to run at a profit.

Title | The Fernie Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : D. V. Mott and G. G. Meikle |
Date Issued | 1905-09-20 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
