thus applied to roofing and kindred
uses. While the manufacture of the
product has not developed to an ex-
tent to create market for all the
mica of which the hills of Utah are
capable, no great stretch of imagln
alton is required to anticipate such
market. A demonstration made
with fire yesterday sustains all that
the inventor claims for the product.
Certainly it will not ignite-and
those owning mica locations will do
well to prove up on them. Indeed
there Is no doubt that with the de-
velopment of the industry for which
the patent affords the foundation,
the demand for mica will be for
some time greater than the supply.
1t does not require the article
that is required in the manufacture
of stoves to find a market, but an y
thing that is reasonably free from
refractory properties, says the IN
yentor. Salt Like Tribune.
