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.
