TIN.
A Dfsei-ipllon of How fo Doled if In I
Natural State.
Haying received several samples recen
to be examined for tin. possible pr
pectors may find (lie following of vali
as it seems that a search is being made
the Bine Iiidge, and its continuation
East Tennessee and IS' ortli Carolina.
To begin with, tin ore, as found in t
samples that have come under my noti(
is in black grains, or brown wood like i
crustations, and is accompanied wi
quartz, mica schist, and allied minera
Supposing that our prospector has foui
what lie considers a tin ore, the first thii
to note is the high grade of specific gras i
of tin ore (about 7) ; as quartz is only 2.
this makes tbe first step in identificatk
one of •‘vanning'* or “panning” such i
done by the prospector for gold. To ai
complish this, powder finely, and in
miners’ pan, or shovel blade in the hani
of an expert, add water, and with the fu
gers mix to the consistency ot' thin creac
A partly rotary, partly oscillating motic
diilicult to describe, but easy to learn, keej
the particles suspended. A moment
pause and the heavy gold or tin sinks t
the bottom. Four off the water and th
suspended sand and repeat the process uri
til the “colors” (i. e.. grains of what yo
are looking for) are seen by gently tiitin
the small residue with a few spoonsful c
water, until it moves around the bottoi
angle of the pan. If preseut your miner;
should show in the tail end of the sand thu
moved.
Suppose you have successfully done a
this, and got a black sand, or a sand tha
is obviously much heavier than the quart;
etc., attending it, for the color may b
brown or black ; sometimes red, grey o
yellow, then dry your concentrate. Ku
a grain or two of it to dust between tw
white rocks (quartz), the streak should b
"white, grayish, brownish.” If that i
all right try it on charcoal with the blow
pipe with soda. You should get metallii
tin in globules, which probably will sbov
a decided disinclination to unite into ;
central lead. If, however, you have go
so far ail right, send it oil for assay at once
If you don’t get rid of the sand befort
you try it with the blow-pipe, you probably
will get only negative indications. Al
though oxide of tin is completely reducible
by charcoal, yet it has such an affinity foi
silica that whenever that suostance is
present in any quantity, except at blast
furnace temperature, the tin will not
reduce, but form a permanent silicate 04
the 04jide of tin. ilie following experi
ments. quoted from Mitchell’s assaying,
will show the influence of silica on the
return of tin in an assay of oxide of tiiat
metal with black flux;

In most of the samples handled by pros
pectors there is fully three times as much
ces and in the IjgUi w Rtese. rii-p,.n-10t.T„
merits prospectors will see why previous
concentration should be carefully done.—

Paaecea Springs.
To flic Editor of the Virginian;
Permit roe through the columns of you
paper to give you some idea of our littt
mountain resort, known as Snyder’
Springs.
This little mountain resort, situate^
among the mountains about 21 miles sout
west of Stribling Springs is in every wa
worthy of the local reputation it sustains
We have a nice boarding house, with
capacity to accommodate 50 or 60, cor
ducted by Mr. D. L. Snyder and lady. X
addition to this, we liaye a nice lawn, upo
which you will find 8 or 9 cabins, fille
with agreeable and intelligent people. Tb
waters of the Springs are of three distinc
characters. 1st, chalybeate and arsenii
2d, pure chalybeate; 3d, chalybeate an
lithia. The scenery is all that the Sout
Spur of the great Shenandoah can afforc
Last Sunday witnessed about 125 vis
itors, and an agreeable time was exper
euced by all.
The committee, consisting of D. L. Sn;
der, John II. Silling, S. A. Fauver and ,
Hamrick, are indefatigable in their eft’or
to make Snyder’s a place of pleasure at:
profit.
This little mountain retreat is high ar
dry. Even dew is scarcely felt and tl
air is pure and healthy. Professional im
and those desiring to spend a few weel
of rest and pleasure, will find it to the
interest to try rustication at Snyder’s.

The people of this community are t

said, when the Hon. Yost came to Sher,

some school boy, but before he got throe
became to the conclusion that he was I
man to represent the people of the 1(
district; that when he went to Washii

letters of inquiry to know whether he w
dead or not. And we all have come to t
conclusion that the old man was right.

A sensational story has been going tbi
rounds of the press to the effect that Mr
A. .!.• Drexel, the Philadelphia banker
had declared for free trade and Cleveland
The statement has been rolled as a swee
morsel under Democratic tongues, au<
pointed to as evidence of the bright pros
peels of the Democratic tiket. The Phila

lusion in a few pointed remarks. t say!
■ after (juoting the statement of Mr. Drexel
i defection; “This is not true. Weareauthoi
i ized to announce on the highest possibl
authority, furnished in the most explici

A Free Trade Party.
We priut in another column a protest
s against our daily declaration that the tar
iff policy of the Democratic party is a free
trade policy. Our friend speaks with ev
6 ident candor and sincerity and he deserves
i, and shall have the reasons for deeming
the Democratic party for free trade.
. The practical policy of tilts Democratic
I party is at present summed up in two fa
I, miiiar papers—ope a statement of prin
i, ciple, the President’s last message, the
,r other the Mills bill, a measure carefully
adjusted and pruned to catch votes on the
eve of a doubtful oontest. Of these, the
e Presidents’s message is the most irnpor
II tant. It is the personal opinion of the I'em
lS ocratic candidate. It covers the whule field.
It has already been accepted by the Dem
l" ocratic party as its creed. The Mills bill
does not go as far, but it goes in the same
direction. Both look to free trade, and by
free trade we do not mean, neither does

This policy the message would brinf
about. President Cleveland found hitnsel:
face to face with the -‘condition not a the
ory” that in raising $336,110,284 by tax
ation in 1.887, the Federal Government
raised $113,000,000 more than itneeded. Hi
refused to reduce the internal revenue
taxation amounting to $118,823,391. Thi
left $217,286,893 raised by customs. “Th<
taxation of luxuries, he said, “presents ni
hardship,” and he refused to reduce th
tariff raised on them, or $41,770,462. Thu
left two great divisions of revenue, tin
revenue from sugar, $58,016,686, and fron:
the tariff duties protecting our industries
not luxuries, $117,499,745. The who!
reduction must fall here if his advice i
followed. lie has left no other point fo
reduction. He might have urged cheai
sugar. He did not. His party refuses t
reduce this, even to the level of the rest o
the tariff. This leaves the whole blov
for the protective duties. President Oleve
land’s message, if followed, would reduc
by $113,000,000. the $175,516,431 now raise
to protect sugar and manufactures.
If this is not free trade, what would be
The Mills bill is an attemptto juggle th
issue, but it remains free trade in principlt
Our friend says the reduction is from 4
per ceut, to 40 per cent. He is deceive
by averages. A uniform reduction, wei
one made, beginning with raw materia
and soaliug up through all grades, scalir
less as labor increased, would be open I
his defense. The Mills bill does not c
this. Take iron and steel, whose fall won
lay now the industries in Schuylkill count
