King Street, Kingston THE 'DAILY BRI1115H WHIG Chapter 27--How Caves Tell History We have often spoken of '"'digg- ing in caves" to find the bones of people and the tools they used, and to learn what animals they killed for food. Very likely you have wondered: "How does this digging tell us his- tory?" To answer that question we are printing a drawing of the grouna layers underneath the bottom of one of the scores of taves which have been examined. This cave once had much more room in it than now, it appears that the floor was at first about 80 feet beneath the top of the cave. As time went on, the wind blew tiny dustlike particles tnrough the entrance. Chunks fell from the ceiling now and then. People lived there and left things lying around. Thus the ievel of the floor kept getting higher and higher as the ages past. The ditfer- ence in any person's lifetime was slight, but after thousands of years the difference was great. Examine the drawing closely---it shows nine layers bemeath the pres- ent cave floor. The cross lines stand for levels at which ashes of fires were scatterad about. Scientists have figured out fairly closely how many years it took for each of the layers to be built up. The lower layer (No. 1) was made first. No human bodies were found in it, but there were remains of fires, and some 'crude stone tools. Bones of a rhinoceros and a hyena were found in that layer. Layer 2 contained many traces of charcoal and disturbed fires. In layer 3 were the skeletons of a woman 5 feet 2 inches tall and a youth an inch shorter. Bone tools as well ag stone tools were found in this layer. Of animal bones, there were those of the deer, the wild horse and the hyena. In layer 4 was the skeleton of a man who must have been 6 feet 4 nearby. and rabbit. The next layer above is notable because it contains a large number of stones which fell from the ceiling of the, cave. The cave seem to have been deserted for a long time after that happened. In the uppermost three layers (7 to 9) were stone tools which show- od better workmanship than thoss in the layers below. That proves men were improving in abllity as time went on. The skeletons of two babies were found in layer 9. They are said to have been buried there more than fifteen thousand years 2go. This diagrum shows how Nature bas preserved a wondrous history in one of the caves of Europe. Next--Pressing Stone with Bone. Canyright Joha FP. Dille Co.

Those familiar with the mineral resources of Hastings county believe that the large iron Geposits can be profitably worked if smelters are erected in the county and processes used adapted to the peculiarities of the Hastings ore. Reporis are current that capitalists interested in Hastings ore bodies have been making tests wiih a view to establisting a large smelter plant convenient to the deposits and close tc water trans ation routes, to operate upon an extensive scale. Some years ago the Wallbridge iron mine near Madoc was worked by the Bethlehem Steel Company, and 140,000 tons of ore shipped to the United States.. This mine was oper- ated under lease but litigation de- veloping work ceased, although the icre body still indicates large tonnage ipossibilities. There are other similar deposits in the county and mining experts who have sized up the pos- cibilities are of the opinion that with iocal smelters and processes adapted to the Hastings ore a very profitakle industry can be developed. A recent visit to the mineral areas of Hastings county revealed a very cptimdstic feeling resulting from in- quiries and various indications that capital was becom:sg ipterested in the mineral possibilities here as the result of a general revival of in- dustrial activity all over the conti- nent. Hastings county is also noted for its fine marble and building stone ceposits which have been worked to advantage and a new development is taking place in stone for litho- graphic purposes. .Talc mines are being extensively cperated in Madoc and vicinity and the deposits are seemingly inexhaust- ible. Many residents of the county be- lieve that gold will yet be found in quantity here and the substantial buildings still standing on the site of the old Richardson gold mine near Eldorado recall the gold excitement of fifty years ago when the. Madoc and Eldorado district swarmed with fortune seekers. Considerable do- velopment work, mostly of a surface character, took place then and as high as thirty thousand dollars worth of gold taken out. 0 a. pockets. [The Richardsdn mine was worked for some time, machinery being brought out from Scotland and substantial stone buildings erected, but after a time mining ceased and the excite- ment died out. Mining methods have changed since those days, and many feel that under the new conditions gold possibilities here are worth ex- amining closely. At Deloro the large plant of the Deloro Smelting and Refining Con- pany, Limited, is in active operation with a force of over three handred employees, Cobalt ores being the principal ores treated. This plant produces large quantities of silver bullion, refined white arsenic, Cobalt oxides, metals, and salts, nickel, ox- ides and metal, Stellite a high grade speed tool metal, In addition large quantities of insecticides are pro- duced including lead arsenaire, cal- cium arsenate, paris green and other special dusts. Stellite, produced at this plant, is an alloy of cobalt, chronium and tungsten; and produces tools of exceptional hardness and en- during qualities.
