92 The Mining and Scientific Press,
Kaonmy t Nevapa—tThe Reese River
Reveille is informed that an extensive bed
of Kaolin in porcelain clay, has been discovered at Mount Tenabo, in the district
of Cortez. It was recently discovered in
the workings of the Garrison mine, and
the specimens exhibited have been pronounced yery fine by competent judges.
The peculiar clay results from the decomposition of feldspar; the change consisting
ina removal of the alkali, potash, with
part of the silica, and the addition of
water. It occurs in extensive beds in many
granite regions, and is the material used
for making chinaware.
Tre Chinese were the first to attempt to
measure time. According to their historical books, the Emperor Fohi, who lived
2,952 years before the commencement of
our era, stndied the celestial bodies with
great attention. The idea of dividing the
day into equal parts by means of the sun’s
dinrnal motion is very ancient, and the
first contrivance of the kind probably consisted in sticking a spear into a plane surface.
Tae Goup Mrxzs or New Hamesume.
We see it stated that Professor Hitchcock
proposes to visit the gold mines of New
Hampshire the coming fall, and give the
pnblic the resnlt of his investigations.
Anything which that gentleman may publish on the snbject willno doubt be reliable, and will be read with much interest.
