S. — May not the words "mixed metal" mean a mixture apparently of wrought and cast iron, which is clearly the charac- teristic of the crystalline and fibrous fracture of the native loups or mooties; and has the great depth, and consequent weight of the column under ground, been used as a counterpoise in raising it into a perpendicular position? According to the Mining Gazette, published at Salt Lake City on June 28, 1874, a writer in the United States RaiZroad and Mining Register suggests, as a... solution of the problem, how this huge mass of iron was produced at so remote a period, that " the column may have been forged standing, by welding on, one over another, thin iron plates or dires, the fire being built around .the column as it grew, and the ground raised in a mound to keep the top of the column on a level with the work place."
