CORRESPONDENCE.

PLUMBAGO.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —The interest shown in the recent dis covery of plumbago at Coromandel will. I trust, be sufficient excuse for my troubiitg you with a short extract from Dr. George Hart wig's celebrated work, "The i Subterranean World," published at Lsndon, 1871. Speaking of the mineral, I he says : " ihe beat quality of Plumbago, graphite, or black lend, from which the finest lead-pencils \»as made, was formerly supplied by tho miue of Borrowdale, in Cumberland. At one time, as mnch as £100,000 was realised in a year, the plumbago selling at forty-five shillings per pound. Its high value, however, i proved a source cf low to Ihß proprietor', for rohbery here found a most profitable field. Even the guard stationed over it by tbe owners was of little avail against determined thieves, for about a ctntnry ago. a body of miners broke jnto the mine by main force, and held pos session of it for a considerable time. The treasure was then protected by a building consisting ef four rooms upon the gronna floor, and immediately under one ol them is the opening sucured by a trap dosr, through which alono workmen could enter the interior of the mountain. Tlie mine has now, how*ver, not beeu worked for many } ear;. Its nests of plumbago seem to be exhausted, and it is no long»r an object capable of exciting greed, or wo. thy of anxious protection. At present the mines of Batougal, near Irkutok, in East Siberia, furnish luige quantities of graphite of the very best quality, and the plumbago from Ceylon is likewise highly esteemed. Inferior qualities—employed for counter^ acting friction between rubbing surfaces ef wood or metal, for making crucibles and portable furnace*, lor piving a gloss to the surfaca of cast iron, &c, are supplied ly Lowor Austria, Bolscmia, Bavaria, Ticon derago, in the State of Now Yoijc, New Jersey, Arendal, in Norway, Finland, &c. The name black-lcid applied t» Plumbaso, from its resembling load in its external appearance, is very inappropriate, as not a particle of that metal enters into its com. position. Plumbago might iadted more justly be called "black-di»nioid,"for, con sisting in its pure state of carbon, it is con sequently but anotber form ef tho chief ef precious stones."—l am, sir, yours obediently, B.M.M.
