There has been much thought given
by Inventors to the use Of acetylene as
motive power for gas engines The
main trouble SO far has been that 1t is
unusually rich In carbon, and requires
special adjustment to get sufficient ad-
mixture of oxygen to convert all the
carbon into heat. This has been sue
cessfully managed as far as the use Of
gas for illuminating purposes Is con-
cernsd, and It 10 now thought that it
can be used In generating power. There

The Division Of Mines OF the United

an experiment station at Chapel Hill,

mining the great quantities OF low
grade ores along the eastern slope of
the Blue Ridge. There has always been
known to be q great deal OF gold in
what Is known az the Piedmont region.

metal has been mined. The gold exis,s

by the results OF its experiments at the
Portland Exposition and OF examine
lions of ''black sand" to hope that a
general reduction may find sufficient
quantities OF other metals with the gold
to make the mining profitable. The
black sand is a heavy sediment which
Is found in the neighborhood of gold
deposits, and 1t is likely to contain other
precious metals than gold. Platinum is
q frequent but not usual accompani-
ment and Ii Is very desirable that the
United States shall gather up all the
platinum that It can find at this time in
Its territory. The establishment OF the
experiment station will either develop
that the Piedmont deposits can be
worked profitably or that they cannot,
and thereby save a great deal Of money
TO possible prospectors.
