The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-06-14

The Retailers Journal Chicago,
says that the claims of the 25-cent
alum baking powders are an imposi-
ton, both on the consumer and the
retailer. The difference between the
cost of manufacture of a 10-cent alum
baking powder and a 25-cent one is
not distinguishable; in fact, it was
stated recently by an officer of the
Alum Baking Powder Association
that they both come out of the same
barrel. The cost to make an alum
baking powder is about two cents a
pound. When this powder is sold at
25 cents a pound it would not appear
to the average consumer as high
grade baking powder sold at a moder-
ate price," but rather as very low
grade baking powder sold at high
price. The twenty three cents profit
on a two-cent food article is not,
however, so important as the fact
that the chief ingredient of the 25-
cent powder is alum, mineral acid,
we'll known to be injurious when
taken into the stomach.

The Register and Leader has awak-
ened to the fact that there is to be an
election as we'll as convention in
Iowa this year. 1t has awakened to
the fact sufficiently to call the other
fellows down for what it is also do
ing itself. Many republicans of the
state have thought of this before and
have deplored the radical and abusive
tactics of both sides. They have been
called towards, but if the republican
party of Iowa is to be saved from
lasting disruption it will be the
towards who do it.

SIMPLE TEST METHOD.
Will Determine Presence Of Sylvanite
and Tellurium in Rock.

Following Is an excellent description of
tellurium and sylvanlte by prominent
engineer. together with q description of
simple method for determining the
presence In rock OF either metal.
'In Its natural state tollurium Is a
whitish metal, with q luster much like
silver. 1t is rarely found In its natural
state, however. but more frequently in
composition with gold and silver or both.
and In this form 1t takes the chara cter
Of sylvanitc or graphic tellurium
THE prospcctor who wishes 10 make
the test for sylyanite or tellurium while
out In the mountains, must take with
him vial OF sulphurlc acid, with glass
stopper and a small test tube or glass of
some sort He will need nothing more
'Whittle a few pieces OF tho native
metal, or powder some OF the ore be-
lieyed TO be sylvanite. and put In the dry
test tube or glass vessel. Then pour on
O small quantity of pure sulphuric acid
Hold the tube over a flame. an alcohol
lamp Is best. but the prospcctor does not
always have such thing available. and
must make a small hot fro OF live Goals
and hold the tube close over that In a
moment the acid will begin to boil, and.
II the metal Is tcllurium. or if the pow
dered ore Is sylvanite. the liquid will
turn a beautiful wine color. dissolving
the metal In It's entirety, This is an alb

FIELD COMPRISES
1900 SQUARE MILES
Most Important in Colorado
Both as Regards Quantity
and Quality.

Among the articles this year in the
forthcoming annual publication OF the
United States geological survey, which
ls popularity known as THE Economic
Bulletin" will be n preliminary report
on the 1ampa coal field of Routt county,
Colo, This report Is particularly impor-
tant since the field Is one OF the most
prominent In Colorado, In respect to It's
real extent. the number and thickness Of
Its coal beds. and the quality of It's coal.
Has Been Inaccessible.
Although In a general way tho Yampa
coal field has been known for a great
many years. 1t has been practically In
accessible. and consequently very little
has been done toward its thorough ex-
ploitation or development 1t is how
ever, the announced intention of the
Denver, Northwestern & Pacific railroad,
generally known as the Moffat road, To
extend Its present line from Middle Park
to the Yampa valley When this is done
the Yampa coal neld Will become one OF
the important sources of coal supply of
tho State.
Is Great Field.
The field. which covers practically 300
square miles, centers about a broad area
OF rolling country In the vicinity of Hay
den. 1t Is bounded by a sharply dis
sected rim of sandstone ridges rising
from 200 to 1900 feet above drainage
level Yampa river cuts across tho field
In a westerly direction. and 1t is down
this valley that the surveys for the Mof-
fat road have been made,
Tho Goals OF this field arc for the most
part bituminous. although anthracite Of
excellent quality is known to occur with
In a certain limited area.
Three groups of coal beds are de-
scribed, which in the field are known as
tho upper, middle and lower groups
Each group OF coal seams has vertical
thickness OF from 200 to 400 feet, and the
several groups are separated by 900 to
1000 feet OF barren shale and sandstone
Where Coal Fields Lay.
The anthracite fleld lies north OF Yam
pa river, and the character of tho coal is
due to igneous intrusions. Al the pres
ent time this part OF the field is attract
Ing moro attention than any other, but
the report shows that although contain
Ing some coal Of q higher grade. 1t is of
a limited geographic extent, and proha-
bly, Will not be so valuable as many have
supposed.

TALC AND S0APSTONE
PRODUCTION IN 1905
New York State Leads, but Out
put Lower Than Previous
Year.

Tale is found In nearly every State
along the Atlantic slope. In form it
varies from pure, foliatcd tale to harder
steatite. Many OF the compact varieties
OF tale and soapstone In this section OF
the country have been profitably worked.
In the Western States tale has been
found in greater or less quantity at many
localities, but on account OF lack OF trans
portatlon facilities only q few OF tho de-
posits have been developed. The total
production of tale and soapstonc OF all
varieties in 1905 amounted to 9o,634 short
tons. valued at 81, ,oS2, ,062 This was an in
crease of I45 short tons in quantity and

BY far the most important producer OF
talo I'm the United States is the State OF
New York. Its output amounts to nearly
double that of all the other States COM
bincd, and almost nll OF II Is used In the
manufacture OF paper. In 1895 the produc-
tion of fibrous tale in New York amount
ed TO $500 short tons, valued at s4l5,ooo.
This WAS decrease of 1905 tons In guam
tity and OF S62 400 in value, as compared
with the production of the previous year.
The quantity OF tale and soapstone pro-
duced by all the other States amounted
to only 40 l34 short tons, valued at $751;

tho miner said he secured the samples
from his own property, about five miles
south of Manhattan. Tho news spread
like wild fire through the little mining

Bullion, located 25 miles south of Bco-

camp to attract attention In the mining
world. Frank Curieux, who owns the

of Beowawe. arrived in Reno yesterday
to secure supplies TO meet the increased
demand occasioned by the rush now on
from Beowawe to the camp.
bullion is going to be one OF the great
est camps in Nevada" said Mr. Curieux,
yesterday. Already 1t has q population
of about 100. and buildings are going up
rapidly. A carload of lumber has been
sent from Beowawe within the past ten
