The Mining and Scientific Press,
State Quaunry.—There has heen Icft at
Dr. Hokien’s drug store, a specimen of
slate rock taken from a quarry that is being
snecessfnlly werked by Thomas McCarty,
at Copperopolis, The roi:k is of n soft, arwillaceous chnracter, splits readily into
smooth, thip Inminie, and in color is of a
hinish brown or gray. It is foundin abundance, and would appear to be valnablo for
roofing purposes, mantels, billiard beds,
table tops, anil even pavements, We are
informed that it is easily quarried, and
worked reailily into any desirable laminated
form, which may yet make it of consitleralle commercial value for the above purposes.
TLieuip Givr.—Tho following is Mr.
Knaflie's reeipe: Three parts of glue,
broken into small pieces, shonld be covered
with eight parts of watcr, anil Icft to stand
for some honrs; one-half of echlorhydvic
avid and three-fourths of sniphide of zipe
must then be added, and the whole exposed
toa temperature of from 178° to 192° Fah,
during ten or twelve hours, The compound thns formed does not gelatinize; it
only needs to be allowed to settle, and will
be found most nsefnl for mending porceIvin, and glass as well as wood.
