A discovery in cement construct
tion, remarkable both in Its sim
plicityand the fact that it has been
overlooked; so long, hdy been
made BY Logan Waller Ptge and
his associates in the { f.ice 81 pub
lie roads at Washington. This
discovery is Of the fact that By
mixing a proportion Of ABOUT ton
per cent OF petroleum residum Oil
with ordinary Portland scemekt
renders the cement waterproof
without in the least impairing its
tensile strength. al
The use Of concrete as sub
stitute of wood and other build
ing material has grown to suah
proportions that; the importanEe
of this: discovery by,;governmeht
officials can hardly be overestimS-
ted, because in the past the tel
dency Of water mixed concrete Is
to crack and so to deteriorate II
value and usefulness. The admif-
ture OF the oil seems to prevept
this. While experimenting in ah
attempt to develop a non-absorB-
ent, resilient and dustless roSd
material, one capable Of will
standing the severe shearing altl
travelling action of automobile ST
traffic, the Investigations Of Dk
rector Page led him into this
found that when a heavy mineral
residual of oil was mixed viii
Portland cement paste, it entire
ly disappeared in the mixture and,
Furthermore, did not separate
from the other ingredients after
the cement has become hard.
The possibilities of oil cement
mixtures for water-proofing pur-
poses were recognized and extern
sive laboratory tests were begun
Immediately to determine the ply
steal properties OF concrete and
mortar containing various guam
titles of oil admixtures.
1t has been shown that the adj
mixture of oil is not detrimental
to the tensile strength of the con-
crete, when the oil added does not
exceed 10 per cent of the weight
of the cement used. Above 10 per
cent the tensile strength suffers
slightly. /

ture was made in the new vault

CURB STOCKS.

j. \. Minnear & Co. say today:
Last summer Amalgamated sold
around $71 when 1t was hard to dis
pose of copper at 1914 cents per pound.
Now Il an eacy matter to sell cop
per for 14h cents yet Amalgamatod
is selling several potts below last sum
mer's figures. This merely indicates
the. vagaries of a stock market and
at the same time the possibilities in
the way of advances for copper shares
when the public begins To appreciate
the true and existing conditions. The
metal is strong and must reflect this
in copper share prices sooner or lat
err.
Trading during the short session to-
day was without special feature. Open
irg prices were firm but profit taking
brought slight recessions. The bank
statement was not n very favorable
document The Boston market was
firm but featurcless. Wolverine came
in for some attention with a two-point
advance.
The South Range issues continue TO
command considerable local attention,
and will probably work higher. May
flower and Old Colony were down u
trifie on selling by those who do not
look for important news for another

TO OPPOSE FAY
CONTEST ON FOR MAYFlOWER
CONTROL.-ST. MARY'S
STOCK WILL 6e pEcID-
ING FACTOR.

A topic of considerable interest n
copper circles at present Is the comins
Maynower election and the possibility
Of President Fay being ousted from the
position OF president. The Fay man
agement Is sending out the usual form
of proxy running 10 President Fay
and Secretary Morrissey and the OPP
position. LED by a MIX Street brok-
crage house is understood TO be zeal
ously soliciting proxies for the new
interests says the Financial News.
Regardless of the activity Of the Fay
and the MIX Street contingent in their
campaign for proxies. the election will
doubtless be thrown either for or
against che present regime by tho vot-
ing OF 25,0U0 shares Of Mayllower
owned by ST. Mary's Mineral Land
co. so that considerable speculation
is aroused as to what action the St
Mary's board VIII take.
The situation is further complicated
by the report that the MIX Street in
terests and a clique in the ST Mary
propose 10 put up a ticket headed by
Mr.. G. J. Paine Jr., treasurer Of ST
Mary's and president of Houshton and
Winona, against the Fay management.
II they can obtain the voting of the st.
Mary's stock.
I'm the St Mary's board however,
there are several directors who oppose
tho company entering any further in
to the field of active mining. as in the
cease Of Winona. King Philip and
Houghton and prefer that St. Mary's
should continue as land company
These gentlemen also are understood TO
be in favor of Mr.. Fay's continuing as
president of Maynower, believing that
he has demonstrated his capabilities
as mining man in his connection with
Trimountain. Allouez and Centennial
among others. each Of which proper
ties were brought to the producing !
stage by Mr. Fay.
The Mayaower election. therefore
would seem TO be decided by the ST I
Nary's directorate, and il is under l
stood that the contest will be close I
one here. While there is an active /
solicitation for outside proxies, il is /
conceded by both interests that the !
ST. Mary's board will settle the mat
ter.
The situation IS repictc with interest I

the richest amyedaloid at the Lake I

During the first 10 days of February
$500 tons OF rock were hoisted which
yielded 100000 pounds of copper or
nearly 20 pounds 10 the ton. This is
of course, much higher than can rca-
