Ilia state of Hue division, when prepar
ed by volatilization or precipitation it
assumes various colors, as violet, ruby,
and reddish purple, sometimes nearly
black. Some eminent chemists have
thought these colors due to an oxide

failed to show the presence of oxygen,
and the highest authorities now claim it
to I hi metallic gold, (iolil in thinly
Ix'uton sheets is transparent and by
transmitted light is green, of lighter or

(iohl is the only metal which has a
yellow color in mass. The introduction
of impurities changes its color greatly.
Silver lowers and copper heightens it.

JUDGE J. FAWCETT.
Chairman of Mining Organ-
zation Quite Enthusiastic
on the Matter.
Ieave your measure for a suit of
.clothe at Neil 1 Mercantile company's.
Judge Jacob Fawcett, of the Psycho
Mine in the Greenhorns, was in the city
a few days last week.
0eratioiis at the mine and mill keep
him fairly well engaged up in that
snowy altitude.
The Judge appears to lai well pleased
with the poHsibi titles of bin mining
ventures. He states that they are run
ning fifteen stamps on Psyche ore
and five stamps on ore from the Morn
ing mine.
On the uper leveta of the Psyche
there are largo quantities of milling ore,
but in the lower levels considerable con
per is in sight which will be marketed at
the Smelter in Sumpter when the pro
per time arrives.
Concerning other matters, the judge
stated that his attention had been called
to an editorial in Tiik Minkr regarding
the committee that he had appointed
while chairman of a public meeting held
at the Hotel Sumpter early in Dec
ember. He intends to return some time this
week when he will have more leisure to
push the matter of organization, some
thing that this section very much needs.
In discussing plans for the advance
ment of mining interests, the Judge was
in faver of a mineral exhibit on the line
as published in Tiik Miner on December
10th last.
What' the Matter With Oregon?
It is not often that a publication in
Portland styled the Tradesman, has a
mining item. Hut when . it does it is
generally terse and to the point, as
the following for instance: "The min
ing outlook for Oregon was never
brighter. With a production of (5,000,
(XX) last yeor, or as much as Nome's.
What's the matter with Oregon?
