One of the most important ingre-
dents used in the manufacture of
glass is soda ash or ammonia soda.
This can also be manufactured in
the State OF Virginia from the salt
brine at Saltville. The proximity
Of the immense deposits of glass
sand in Tazewell county to the Pc.
cahOntas coal fields and to Salt.
vile, where soda ash can be manu-
featured, should in the near future
attract capital for the establish
ment Of extensive glass works in
Tazewell county. There are few
places in the United States where
the natural advantages of close
proximity of the materials used in
the manufacture of glass to the fuel
one of the most important factors
can lie found.
With the completion of the ClincIl

THE highest mountain in America
must now be changed from Mount st
Elias to Mount Wrangle, little to the
north. Several of these mountains
have been newly measured. Mount
Hood, once roughly" estimated al
5000, then CLOSELY" at 10000, was
brought down by triangulation to
1900; an aneroid barometer made
it IL, 900, and a mercurial barometer
1855. Mount ST. Elias, estimated
by d'Egelot to be II ,672 feet, is TRAN
gulated by Mr.. Baker to 1850 1t
now appears that Mount Wrangle
lying to the north, rises 1890 feel
above Copper river, which is in turn
1000 feet above the sea at that point
ii this holds true Mount Wrangle is
at least 1000 feet higher than any
other peak in North America. 1t lies
within the United States boundary.
