PEAT POWDER TO sUPPLANT COAL?

In regions where peat Dogs bemre the land

ore smelling. In these fields, the prospects for
success are more promising
In experiments at the SahStrom factory in

fuel have been used in comparison with good
English coal. 1t was found early in the tests that
the balance between greater efficiency and the
higher cost of thorough drying could be best set

ESTIMATION OF AVAILABLE ORE.

The estimation of the amount and value of
ore in sight, is often carelessly more or
rather guessed at by people who either do not
know how or do not wish to arrive at the truth
Of the matter, that the idea is quite widespread
hat "ore in sight is at best an imaginary term
It is, of course, an approximation, the degree Of
accuracy Of which depends in Il large measure on
the nature Of the ore body and the method Of
man who makes the estimate.
Since the mining Of low grade porphyry cop
per ores has become an important factor i'll our
copper production, it is important to be able to
determine with fairly high degree of accuracy,
before embarking on the development Of por-
phyry property, the amount and value of the ore
available.
In this connection the article of Robert f. Me
Connell on Gore Tonnage from Drill Hole Rec
ords, appearing elsewhere in this issue, is Of
considerable interest. The method described is

NEW INDUSTRY FOR NEVADA.

A new industry which is being tested in
Belgium should receive the attention of wool
growers in Utah, says the Ogden Standard This
applies to Nevada where sheep raising is such
prominent industry.
The guanaco is being imported from the west
coast of South America and bred for its wool
The animals when raised in Belgium are com
handing as high as S73 each.
The animals hardy and are said to pro-
duce fine, soft wool four to six inches long. BY
careful methods herd of guanacos can be made
more profitable to the farmer than a flock of
sheep. AS they are indigenous to Argentina Chile
and Peru, it is not improbable that thousands of
guanacos that roam in wild state in hocks ON
the South American pampaS and which are easily
tanned may be captured and cared for as sheep
as their wool is three times as valuable as that of
the latter, and it may become an important cX
