4 New Use for slsg.

According to a report from Parral, Mexico, a profitable use has been found for smelter slag. The discovery, for such it may be called, was made at the Luster Mining Company of Santa Maria del Gro, in the state of Durango. Building materials are not over-abundant in that part of Mexico, and as the slag dump was, as 1t frequently is at mines, a source of trouble and expense, 1t occurred to one of the officials of the Luster company to run the slay as 1t came from the furnace into molds, forming bricks of convenient size for building purposes.-Douglas Dispatch.
 There's nothing new in that. It has been done for years. At Bis bee the Copper Queen company has a building the walls of which were made from cast blocks of slag. THE OASIS editor first no- ticed the building in 1894. It is probably standing yet.
