PATENT IS GRANTED.
0ska1oosa Mans Invention Win
Be Protected.

Stewart W. Jameson, secretary and
manager Of the Interstate Manufac
turing Co, has just been allowed a
patent, No. SS0.217, on packing joint
for radiators. fhe device is a lap
joint which has been one Of the spe-
cial features of the Marvel Heat
Producers" from the start and il is
one Of the first distinctive features
OF the new furnace on which letters
patent have been issued
The joint is used in fastening the
casing around the furnace as il is
very Important that the casing should
be tight, so that no dust or nne
ashes can pass into the air chamber
to be carried to the rooms above.
Clips are bolted to the galvanized
castings and bolts are placed through
holes in the angle front. The casing
IFS then drawn tight by screwing up
these bolts in the same MANNER as
hoops are drawn on tanks with wood!
EN-. slaves
The invention is an important one
in connection with the constructors
of this furnace, which is now one OF
l0skaloosa's leading products, aud the
fact that its manufacture is now pro.
ltected by patents issued by the gov
eminent is another assurance that
the feature is an exclusive one and
destined to become popular in fiii<
mace constructions.

AMERICAN FLAG ORE
COMING TO MARKET
Park City Property Shipping
Without Resort to the
Richer Slopes.

In recounting the achievements or
the Park City mining camp. it would be
by no means fair TO leave out mention
of the American Flag property, one OF
the faithful shippers Of ore from that
district. The American Flag company
on Saturday received the last allotment
Of ores for the month of October in this
city, the rock being consigned TO the
Garfield smelter. This shipment brings
the total amount OF ore sent in during
the past month up TO 758,700 pounds.
This is not the best ore tho mine af-
fords, as no extraction Is occurring IN
the richer slopes.
Tho American Flag company is very
close corporation, and il is seldom that
local circles hear anything relative to
developments. But the company is a
busy one. and the mine is one of the big
propositions Of tho Park City section,
At present the management is not at
tempting TO ship in anything like the
tonnage that could be marketed as the
present prices of silver and lead are not
conducive to such a programme. But
it is understood that this company will
continue TO ship ore steadily until such
time as the plans for the mill are com
pleted and the plant started, From the
Park comes the word that the manage
ment continually is opening up new ore
bodies, and that many Of the assays Sc
cured of late have been close TO phe-
nomenal

H|GH-GRADE ROCK
IN THE CARBONATE
General Manager Grant Snyder
Hears Good Reports From
Beaver County.
THREE TO FOUR FEET
OF GALENA EXPOSED
Ore Is of Shipping Quality and
Seems Making for a Large
Body.

Local circles have been cognizant for
several days that there were some mag
nifcent ore developments being unfold
ed on the property in Beaver county of
the Beaver Carbonate company. Gen
eral Manager Grant Snyder returned
Saturday morning from a trip to the
Ophir district, and found on his desk
a letter from Superintendent J. Yves
terdahl of the Carbonate, in which the
latest developments were given
MT: Westerdahl writes that he is now
WORKING In section of this property
which promises to open up into great
pig mine at any time. He is drifting
IN three to four feet of galena ore that
VIII snip with the present low prices of
lead and silver at least $40 per ton. The
drltt's face still is in the same sort and
extent OF ore, and the expectation that
the drift will poke its way soon into a
larger body is logical, in view Of the
fact that the working is making for q
point q considerable distance beneath
me i:n; oid Slopes from which close to
million dollars worth OF ore was e1-
tracted In the early DAYS. This drift
is on the 700foot level, and Mr. Snyder
snares the enthusiasm of Mr. Westcr-
dahl relative to what the future of the
proposition has in store.
An organization has Just been perfect.
ed Tor the purpose OF taking leases on
the Carbonate and Rather tailines
dumps and mine dumps. This has occa-
stoned some speculation in local circles
where the intent of the new COMPANY
was not fully understood. Mr.. SNYDER
states that 1t is an independent organ
lzation for the purpose OF wrin0inp
ralues from the rock treated or discard
ed by the operators in a day when
netallurgical methods were not as per.
feet as they are today.
