Sand-Lime Brick.

The sand-lime brick industry is a comparatively new one in the United States, having had it's beginning in Michigan City, Ind, in 1901. Its pro- gress was slow at first, the value of the production in 1903 being only S155,- 040. From that time the value in creased each year until 1907. when reached. In common with other building materials there was decrease in 1908 in the production of sand-lime brick to S961, ,226. The number of plants reporting made a rapid growth from 16 in 1903 to 94 in 1907, with a slight decrease in 1908 (to 87).
 Common, front, and fancy brick were manufactured from sand and lime in 1908. The average price per thousand for common brick was S66 63, as against S6.61 in 1907 and S6. T in 1906; for front brick the price was S12.16, against SIC. 96 in 1907 and Sl0.42 in 1906. In 1908 common brick con- posed S3.57 per cent of the value of all bricks and front brick 15.37 per cent.
 Thirty States reported both in 1907 and l9OS, Alabama dropping out of the list in 1908 and Montana appear ing. Of the individual States Mich igan, as in 1907, was the leading State in 1908, reporting bricks valued at S138, ,S09. Florida was second in both years.
 An advance chapter of "Mineral resources of the United States, calendar year 1908" contains tables showing the production of sand-lime brick by States in 1907 and 1908. The pamphlet may be had free of cost by applying to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washing ton, D. c.

Lumber Crop Important Producer of
 Freieht.

Lumber is one of the chief freight commodities produced by land. Its weight per acre sUrpasses corn, bar ley, oats, wheat and rye.
 Few people are aware of the care used by railroads in keeping tab of the productiveness of land along their lines from the standpoint of the amount of freight produced by vari- ous crops. Heavier the crops ger acre, the more business for the rail- roads. Nor are there many people who think of lumber as a crop, and one of the most important crops at that, which contributes a large share of the freight business of railroads.
 The quantity of freight produced by crop depends upon soil, region, and kind of crop. Railroads figure it from that point of view. Their profit depends upon tonnage and class, and they want to know what crop pays the carrier best.
 Many averages in many localities are necessary to reach reliable results. Care is necessary. too, in applying to one region the figures obtained in an- other. Indiana, Illinois, and Ken lucky are the center of vast pro- ductive region, and averages there possess as much value as those of any part of the country, but, of course, they cannot be applied everywhere. An acre is credited with yield as fol lows:

Two deaths, fifty freight cars ditch ed and trains of all kinds held up for about ten hours, were the results of head-on collision of two freight trains on the Southern Pacific a short distance west of Yuma last week. The men killed were tramps who were stealing rides on the trains. The engineers and firemen on both trains saved themselves by jumping None of the trainmen were injured.

ArizOna's Gold Belt.

Arizona has so long been regarded as the Cooper State" and its great copper mines SO overshadow every other industry in the Territory that to suggest that it is also great gold mining country is to start a new train of thought in many minds.
 Yet Arizona has deeper and more producing gold mines than the state of Nevada, and one that might be as spectacular as the Mohawk mine if worked with the feverish haste in- duced by a limited lease and heralded by a "boom" press, as were all "strlkes" in Nevada.
 The main gold belt of Arizona is a continuation of that which traverses Nevada and shows it's most southern productive point at Searchlight. It enters this Territory in northern Mo- have county, and shows payable val ues at Lost Basin, Gold Basin, Music Mountains and Wallapai, where are many properties only awaiting capital to become important producing mines.
 But it is not until Union Pass and the San Francisco district is reached that the result of capital intelligently invested is seen. At Union Pass both high grade, free milling and tellurium ore is being opened up. In the San Francisco district the Gold Road, Tom Reed, Victor-Virgin, Leland, Lexington, Bennett, Pioneer and others form a group of properties, the equals of which are not to be found in any other one camp in the resemblance to that of the Quartette mine at Searchlight, but the average grade is higher. The belt continues on through Yavapai county, where it swings a little to the east, spreads out and is widely scattered through out the county. In the southern part, the Congress district is fully 35 miles long and 10 miles wide, and boasts many good properties from 300 to 2,000 feet deep, and the old Con- gress mine 4,OOO feet deep on the ore still producing, and the Vulture in Maricopa county, one of the great mines of the West.
 The belt continues through Yuma county, never properly prospected, but shows a notably rich area around Kofa, where the North Star, King of Arizona, Amavisca, Fl Dorado and other properties are making history.
 The North Star has for nearly a year been crushing 50 tons of ore daily, averaging over $50 a ton. This portion of the belt is known to be 50 miles in length of outcrops and its extension in the Castle Dome range was discovered last week. The belt continues south through Quartzsite to Fortuna, almost on the Mexican boundary line, where at the La For tuna mine year after year the ore averaged between S35 and $40 ton.
 It is great gold belt-200 miles long and 100 miles wide, not yet pros pected, but with enough great mines on it to demonstrate it's vast poten- tialities.-Arizona Mining Journal, Phoenix.
