 Meerschaum is extracted in the same way as coal. The stone as extracted is called ham tash" trough block) and is soft enough to be cut easily with a knife. It is white, with a yellowish tint. and is covered with a red clayey soil about one inch thick. In this state the blocks are purchased by deal CTS on the spot, not by weight nor by measurement. These rough blocks are dried and sub jected to a certain prep aration before being conveyed to Eslli- Sherhir. Some of them are as small as a walnut, while others attain the size of cubic foot. Those which combine regularity of surface and size are the best The manipulation required be- fore they are ready for eXportation is long and costly. The clayey soil attached is removed and the meer- schaum dried. In summer exposure for five or six days in the suns rays suf- fees, but in winter a room heated 10 the required temperature is required, and the drying process takes eight or ten days. When well dried the blocks are well cleaned and polished. Then they are sorted into about 12 classes. each class being packed with great care in separate cases and each block being wrapped in cotton wool.

HEBER-There Is quite difference
in regard to the snowfall in this Sec
ton Of this county when compared to
that OF last year About three weeks

sation with Carl Wilkins, who lives on

ing. At this time east Of Heber at
Lake Center and Daniels Creeks, where
people are getting out wood and logs
and snow comes up TO mans armpits.
The total snowfall for last week was
7la inches and at the present time there
Is fully twice as much snow In the
mountains as there was last year, On
the Wasatch range west Of Heber the
snow Is exceptionally deep with some
seven feet on the level.
COALVILLE-Ther Is considerable
more snow In the mountains and val
