One More Visit to Mother.

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 22-Haying been
born on Christmas Day, in 1856, a
Christmas present to his mother,
James Dowell Harmon, a we'll known
Tulsa oil man, left today for Erie, Pa,
to spend the holidays with his aged
parent Mrs. Mary e. Harmon of that
city. Mrs. Harmon is 80 years o. age.
Her husband is long since dead. Har-
mon has followed the oil business to
every section of the globe, yet he has
never failed, during the thirty-five
years he has been away from home, to
return and present himself to his aged
mother as Christmas gift" every
year.
Last year, month before Christ
mas. Harmon found himself stranded
in the Hawaiian Islands. However he
was determined not to disappoint his
aged mother whom he knew was anx-
iously awaiting the return of her AN
nual gift He stole ihs way across
the Pacific ocean and hoboed@ it
across the continent to his mothers
home, arriving there on Christmas eve.
Harmon will sail from New York for
India after the holidays.

Oklahoma Gas Plentiful.

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. %. According to
the report of the state auditor, based
upon the gross production tax collect
ed, 45,733, 4S5,0O0 cubic feet of natural
gas was sold by the Oklahoma gas
producers, during the year ending No
vember 30th, 1911. This is an average
of 125,000,000 cubic feet per day. In
as much as gas producers usually limit
daily consumption to 5 per cent of the
capacity of the well, and never exceed
20 per cent of its capacity, the audi
tors report indicates a gross produc-
ton for Oklahoma of 1,250,000,000
cubic feet per day This is about
thirty times the production reported
by Prof. Haworth of Kansas, who RI
diculously intimates that the Okla
homa natural gas will be exhausted
within three years.

PRODUCTION OF LIME IN 1910
Slight Decrease in Tonnage, But In
crease in Value Of Output.

The Production of Lime in 1910"
by Ernest F, Burchard, has Just been
issued by the United States geological
survey as an advance chapter from
, Mineral Resources of the United
States" The total production of lime
in 1910, as reported to the survey, was
S,4S1, $50 short tons, valued at $13,S94,-
962, compared with 3,4S4,974 short
tons, valued at S1S,S46,O72, in 1903.
This represents a decrease in tonnage
of 3,194 tons and an increase in value
of $4S,690 Owing partly to the in
activity of a number of small kilns
operated by farmers to obtain lime for
local use as fertilizer, and partly to
the abandonment of old and wornout
hlns, there was apparently large
decrease in the number of producers
reporting to the survey.
Few mineral products have so wide
a variety of uses as lime Nearly half
the lime manufactured in the United
States is used as structural material,
and the remainder, amounting to about
1,750,000 tons, valued at about $5,5OO,-
600 is used for chemical purposes.
Lime is burned with a number OF
different fuels. Coal is used most ex-
|tensively by plants in the United
States at present, followed in order
by wood, coke, producer gas, natural
gas, and oil. A large variety of mix
lures is also employed, such as coal
and coke, coal and wood, coke and
wood, coke and shayings, and shaw
ings and manure
1t is probable, says Mr.. Burchard,
that if wood were universally abun-
dant it would be more generally used
than coal. Lime can generally be
burned more slowly and at lower
temperature with wood than with other
fuels. The lower the temperature at
which lime is burned the better it's
quality will be-
On account of the rapid decrease in
the wood supply there is considerable
interest in the possibility of utilizing
producer gas for burning lime 1t is
ported that under the most favor
able conditions one kiln at st. Louis
made 31S pounds of lime to l pound of
coal, using producer gas, as compared
with an average of "a pounds of lime
to l pound of the same coal for coal.
burned lime. The same manufacturer
reports making as high as Az pounds
of lime at times, and others have had
as good success.
