. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. American Hee Journal brought specimens of the substance to the trading post founded by John Jacob Astor at the moutli of the Columbia. Prior to last April a company of wliicli Mr. Walter was a member was engaged in selling lots near where the discovery was made. At that time Kit Carson, the famous scout, now employed as an assayer by the Government, visited the place and announced that the supposed beeswax was none other than ozokerite, a product of hydrocarbon oil, found only in South America and in small quantities in Xorthern Europe.
