The presence of phosphorus, or of sulphur, in any consider
able quantity in iron ore, is destructive of its value for most
pursues, and it will be Been from the result of said analysis,
that phosphorus and sulphur are present in the very smallest
degree.
The Denny ore has been pronounced, by a Wheel
ing iron manufacturer, superior to any iron known
for making Bessemer ste L The Quye iron mine is
in the same neighborhood, and the ore is similar.
Limestone, marble and silver quartz abouhd in the
vicinity. Still another find is reported It is called
the Snoqoalmie lode, and the mountain itself, Chair
peak. It is magnetic iron, and of two lota assayed,
one developed sixty and fifty-threo hundredths per
cent iron and thirty-four thousandths per cent, phos
phorus, the other fifty-soven and seven-tenths per
cent iron and seventy-two thousandths per cent phos
phorus. The discoverers took five claims, and, at a lit
tle distance, each took a silver claim, oro from which
assayed from $12.00 to $2100 per ton. They also
discovered copper and white marble, said to bo equal
to the best in America. Theso discoveries aro about
four miles northwest from the Denny mine.
Gold has been found in many places in Kiog coun
ty, but nowhero yet in quantities to warrant contin
ued mining. Qranito and sandstono are to bo hail in
abundance Gypsum and lime aro also known. It is
to bo expected that other minerals will bo discovered
by tho prospectors of tho future.
UNTIL THE SEA OIVE3 UP ITS DEAD.
The clouds liuii darkly in the sky ;
Quick litfhtninKH flash, and thunder roar;
The sea rolls on in majesty,
And billows dash against tho shore.
Where rear the rock in silent mljjht,
And hurl the billow back in foam,
A woman, in the stormy nifht,
Stand tfainK on the sure, alone.
Her heart lies buried in the sea,
' Mid broken shells and waving mo,
Where rests her loved one ea fully,
Nor heels the wild wave' maddening tu.
And where he lies in death-Uun I sWp,
L'jKjn his cold and rocky -,
One faithful heart will vitfil ki-ep,
I'ntil the sea fives up it dead.
She loves to hear the wild wind raw,
Tlie billows roar in muic sweet,
To mm the dark, foamcrcU'd wave
Kxpend it fury at her f-t.
Tliey sj ak to her of him w ho'a foiie ;
hhe sees his linage in the spray,
And ever, a the waves roll on,
The w inds' sad wailing m vui U) say :
" J'-elow thy lover wait for thw,
To Join hirn in hi moy home,
While thou art standing by tin? ,
And pobbiri on tho rwka iW,"
At hut, she leaj. with di n cry ;
The waves roll darkly oVr I r
Two forms uj-n the col l rot k li,
