TONOPAH DISTRICT
SHIPS MUCH ORE
Stamps of Montana Will Crush
1918 Tons in Week Amid
General Progress

The stamps of the Montana mill, so
says the Tonopah Miner, crushed LOIS
tons of ore last week. of which 70S
tons belonged to the company and the
remainder to the MacNamara mine. A
total of LOG feet of new ground was
broken in the Montana last week.
Work on the Montana is proceeding on
the 800, 465. sis, SOS, 615, Sos and 1855
foot levels. Ore of varying values has
been encountered on all these levels.
On the lowest level the 765 foot, the
main north crosscut is reported to be
out 1889 feet Stopping continues on the
665 foot level vein, 700 feet west of
the shaft The south crosscut on the
f65 foot level has been run 900 feet
west of the shaft. The Miner says of
the general progress in the Montana:
The Slopes from the different levels continue
TO produce the regular tonnage and show the
bodies to be holding their own in strength
and richness. While nothing of unusual inter-
est has transpired since our last report the
condition of the mine is most satisfactory and
much new territory is being prospected and
opened up. At a directors meeting of the com

Of the same shade as the cloth, entirety
covered with braiding. The yoke was

under the plastron and fell in long
ends to the edge OF the skirt, the ends
trimmed with deep fringe.
Chantilly lace is in great favor. All
sorts of combinations can be invented
in draping. as tunics, the shawls of this
lace. which has been laid aside for
many years.
The deep fyinged crepe shawls, of
which San Francisco's Chinatown must
again be displaying a wonderful assort-

for draping, used with crepe de chine
OF the same shade.
There is a tendency to revive the

which revival were seen "reminiscences
of the end Of the eighteenth century.

PROCESS INVENTED
FOR USE OF PEAT
Swedish Scientist Devises Meth
cd of Making Good Substi=
fute for Coal

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-In stating
that considerable money has been ex
pended on Dartmoor and the Goss and
Tregoss moors in England in attempts
to convert peat into a marketable com
modify on a large scale, Consul Jo-
seph c. stevens writes from Plymouth
of present apparently successful in
Yention:
The peat is employed on the moor
and it's immediate vicinity as fuel, but
the various processes hitherto tried
with a view to adapting it for use as
fuel in rivalry of coal in the towns,
or for putting it to other useful pur-
poses, have hitherto ended in large
losses. new method is. however,
being put forward, according to local
journal. under which, it is claimed. peat
may become a very valuable commod-
ity. The inventor is Swedish scien-
tist, who has been engaged in expert
ments for years and has now reached
the stage when large factory plant
has been put in operation.
The process is very simple. The peat,
as obtained from the bog, is first of all
pulped into a homogeneous mass. 1t
is then heated under pressure to a tenn
perature above $50 degrees, after
which the water is pressed out by me-
chanical means. The residue is formed
into briquets in the usual way. 1t is be-
cause of the heating of the mass TO so
high a temperature that the peat ceases
to hold water in the same way as at
lower temperatures. by mecnanlcdi
methods it is almost impossible to
eliminate water from peat at ordinary
temperatures, but by the process named
the separation takes place quite easily.
AS to the comparative value of the peat
briquet, it is claimed that 6 pounds will
give as much heat as four or five pounds
of good coal. 1T is said that the manu-
facture of fuel from peat by this pro-
cess can be carried on uninterruptedly
year in and year out, and that in the
matter of price peat fuel would be
much cheaper than coal.
