The Austri¬ an mines arc said to yield a prod > uct inferior in quality to that dis¬ covered in Utah. The uses of this mineral.aro constantly enlarging, and in tula country alcne tbe con¬ sumption amounts to 5C0 tonsy 7 eai ly*. The chief uses cf Ihe mineral in its crude state aid the manu¬ facture of waxed paper, iu the lin¬ ing of wooden vessels, in varnish ;md blacking manufacture, and in tho insulating of electrical wires Tho American product is said to differ from tho Austrian article in that it does not need refining, but comes direct from the mines ready* to be melted and applied^ while,the Austrian product must be refined in order to be applied to its numerous uses. When refined this mineral is used in the adulter- tion of beeswax and as a substitute for that article in candle making, tho manufacture of matches and dolls, and in the making of heavy* lubricants. In Rb natural state it is found in veins Varying from ten to twelve inches in thickness, and varies in color from a .light yellow to brown and black. Bnry shaw, in Galicia, a town of 12,000 inhabitants, is dependent entirely npoii the mining cf this product for iIs existence. The price of re¬ . fined ozoerkite commercially known as cejl-isin, ranges from 20c per pound for chemically pure white, down to 6c per pound for crude black of a poor quality*.
