NORTH CAROLINA MINES


Mr. William IL Stone, special cor
respondent of The Manufacturer 8
Record At the jamestown Exposition,
had the following 10 say Of the North
Carolina exhibit of minerals IN laSl
weeks issue:
"The exhibit Of Maryland's mifr-
eral deposits Is confined 10 relief and
wall maps showing the geological for
nations Of the land In the various
counties, with the different mineral
deposits indicated on them. North
Carolina has an exceptionally fine
exhibit in the Mines and Metallur-y
Building. aud the collection and IN
staliation of these specimens wa
made under the direct supervision OF
DR.. Joseph Hyde Prait. the State
geologist. who has arranged and classi-
fled them in a particularly pleasing
and effective manner. The exhibit is
surrounded by a wall made of Mount
Airy. Whitney and Balfour GRANTEES,
with arches and columns Of these ana
other grades Of GRANTEES and marbles
Of the State, all of which gives very
clear idea as TO the beauty and quail
~ of the North Carolina building
stones. Another feature of this ex-
hibit is the samples Of tale shown,
most of which is from Swain county
and In addition to the crude tale
shown, there are samples of products
made from it, such as pensilc pow
ders, gas tips, acetylene burners and
electric insulators. Mica is also we'll
exploited, and one large specimen IL
dicates the high quality of the dc
post, which is the largest in the coun-
try and produces more than all other
States combined. Here too, are shown
specimens Of monazite, principally
used in the manufacture of Welsbach
nantes, and this mineral is shown in
the crude by-product and manufaL-
tured form. The kaolin exhibit is also
a very interesting one, and includes,
in addition to samples of several vari-
cites or deposits, numerous pieces OF
high-grade chinaware made from
them. There is arranged in this ex-
hibit a magnificent and general dis
play of the various gems and precious
stones found III various parts of the
State. The exhibit was made up
Jointly by DR.. Pratt, the State Mu-
scum and the American Gem & Pear.
Co., and includes specimens of rho
dolite, hiddenite, rubies, garnets,
amethysts, emeralds, beryls including
golden blue and apuamarine, corun-
dunn gems, rutilated, rose and opa-
descent quartz, carnelians, etc. Other
minerals of Importance found in the
State, and which are on exhibit here,
are copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc
bauxite, tin, barytes, coal, iron ore,
chromite, feldspar, sandstone, etc.
The various mineral and medicinal
springs in the State are also repres ..
cntcd here by bottled samples of their
wateIs.'

Alaska Producing Wealth.

Alaska is an interesting region. In
area she IS twice as large as Texas
with California thrown in, but her
resident white population numbers
only about 10000, though in summer
she has from 10000 to 10000 more
whites.
In fur, fish and minerals, she is rich.
Since her annexation she has furnish.
ed 100000 of furs, SCI, 900. 900 of
fish and s70,g00,00O of minerals, chief
ly gold and silver. Her output O,
gold, which was 10000 in 1904
was s16.t00,000 in 1905, and will be
fully s26,000,000 In 1906.
In gold production Alaska has far
surpassed the Klondike and the res.
of the Canadian region. A few years
ago the Klondike and general Cana.
dian country produced from 81, 600. o00
to s25, 100000 OF gold a year, but this
had shrunk to 100000 in 1905. and
will probably be down to $4,000, 900 b

In Mars.

They tell us there are people up in
Mars
What very happy people they must
be!
For in habitation mid the stars
From various vexations they'd be
. free.
For the chances are that trusts are
quite unknown
And that life insurance seeks no
gruesOme gains;
The octopus has left them quite alone
Since they use canals instead Of
railway trains.
From tariff talk no doubt they are
exempt,
And maybe they escape the prob
lem play;
The campaign orator does not attempt
To steal some other fellows boom
away.
The trolley does not spider-web a
town;
There is no call for lodging motto
ears;
No Wall street sends their value up
or down
They must be very happy up in
Mars!

AS general thing the farmers do
not believe that epidemic of disease
has been caused by the condition of
the milk they have sent to the mar
ket, and they consider that the Health
Departments demands are beyond
reason. Already some are deter
mined not to send their milk to New
York City, and are arranging to send
1t elsewhere or dispose of 1t locally.
Health Departments Requirements.
Some of the requirements of the
New York Department of Health fos.
low:
That the floors be constructed o.
concrete or some non-absorbent mate.
rial
That the floors be made water tight
and properly graded
That the drops or cutters be con-
structed of concrete, stone, or some
non-absorbent material. That they
be at least six inches in depth, with
all corners rounded.
That the feeding troughs, plat
forms and cribs be we'll lighted and
kept clean at all times
That additional windows be in
stalled in the COW barn to provide
sufficient light. (Two square feet Of
window space for each cow to be the
minimum).
That the window panes be washed
and kept clean at all times.
That the walls and lodges be thor
oughly swept down and kept free
from dust, dirt or cobwebs at all
times
That an inspection of the herd by
veterinarian be made and a copy of
his report forwarded to this depart
ment.
That the long hairs on the TANKS
and tail be clipped and kept short at
all times.
That clean, special suits be pro-
v1ded for all the attendants engaged
in the production and handling of
milk.
That the milk at all times be
strained at the milk house, and in an
atmosphere free from dust or odors.
That the milk pals used be of the
small-mouthed design, SO constructed
that they can be readily and thor
oughly cleaned, and top opening not
to exceed eight inches in diameter
That racks be provided in some
suitable place so as to expose the milk
pals to the sun Or to live steam.
That a milk house be built and To-
Gated on elevated ground, with no
hog pen within 100 feet.
The New York Health Depart
ment's instructions tell the farmer in
conclusion that no milk on his prem
ises will be permitted to be brought
into the city of New York unless con-
ditions are remedied within a certain
time.

Health Department Says Hair on Cows Tail
and Flank Must Be Cut and Lights Put in
Troughs-- Suits For Mixers

Florida, n. Y.-Farmers in New
York State are receiving from ne
New York Department of Health .ej-
tiers setting forth the requirements of
the department necessary to insure a
pure milk supply for the New York
City market. The requirements run
all the way from cleaning the window
panes OF the cowpen to cutting the
cows hair.
One farmer who had received a list
of the departments requirements de-
clares that IL some of the rules are
carried out there will be a serious
shortage of milk in the market, as to
obey orders would mean a great ex-
pense and require so much time at
tending to the animals that very little
profit would result to the owners. The
farmer said:
While the price OF milk for the
coming six months by one big con-
trolling concern has been advanced
sixteen per cent. over last years
price, 1t must be taken into consider
alton that the price of the principal
feeds has gone up twenty-five per
cent"
The same man pointed cut that to
meet the requirements more help
would be required and that all this
would eat up the little profit that the
COW raiser now makes. In addition
II is hard to get competent help.
Too Early For Cleaning.
One requirement to which local
farmers make strenuous objection is
that requiring that the cowshed be
thoroughly cleaned before the cows
are MIXED. AS the milking is done
very early each morning, perhaps
long before daylight, it can be seen
that the cleaning process will be al
is not wealthy, and many of them
have not the cash to make the re-
quired improvements about their
premises.
Where are cur very small present
profits to come in?" said an owner of
several head after reading the de,
partment circular. Where is the
money to come from to put in a non
absorbent floor and siX-inch cutters
with rounded corners of the non-ab-
sorbent material? Are we required
to put in lights, so that the feeding
troughs be lighted? am unable to
see where 1t insures pure milk to
have the cow see what she is eating,
or perhaps have the window clean so
that she may gaze pensively over the
barnyard while she cnews her cud.
Another requirement is that all
the help be provided with clean suits
when they go in to make the cows
comfortable or relieve them of their
milk. My wife would object to that.
and farmers wives never have much
to do
