Air N. S. Browne, owner of n farm at the Mangorei Cross Road, recently made an interesting discovery of an outcrop on his property.

For brass and copper and other metals the powder produces a high nolish and yet does not leave. any trace of a scratch. It has been used too as a tooth powder with excellent results. If applied with very hot water it will remove grease stains from clothes. For cleansing milk cans it is also most satisfactory.
