pressure was withdrawn. Fractional
gains were even recorded In many In

What wonder that his checks were pale

And that his sclf-control should fail?
His face fell. as We just have said

For then and there she caught his eye.
She flung a word at him. she did:
He listened to 1t with n sigh;
Within his hands his face he hid
Perhaps he wanted back his eyed

We do not know Just what he cried.

She'd caught his eye you see. when he'd

Small wonder that she never stopped
But simply went along her way

Alas! Because his face thus fell
1t broke upon the stony ground;
The lady turned then. truth to tell,

GYPSUM DISCOVERED IN IOWA.
Coal Prospector Sends Drill On Wild
Goose Chase and Makes
Lucky Strike.

Ames, Oct. Tn the offices of the
mining engineering department of
Iowa State college lies long cylinder
OF white, crystalline materla, that
bears evidence that unknown hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been added to Iowas recognized min
eral resources. 1t is a sample boring
of rich gypsum deposit discovered
near Centerville. The bed is located
nearly 500 feet below the surface
it ranges from Z to II feet in thick
ness and 1t is almost theoretically
pure. The deposit already known is
big enough to keep one OF the very
biggest modern gypsum mills busy
for hundred years or more, running
at full capacity all the time. A COM
pany has already been organized ard
capitalized to mine the raw material
and manufacture it.
The discovery of this rich gypsum
bed was wholly accidental ard un-
expected. ut proves that Iowa does
not begin to know how great it's min
eral resources really are" says Pro-
fessor S. w. Boyer, head of the min
ing engineering department. 1T has
merely scratched the surface of its
mineral wealth."
1t was because coal prospectcr
sent his drill on sort of wild goose
chase into the depths of the earth
that this gypsum was found. A coal
company had contracted with drill
er for 900 feet of boring, hoping Ia
strike coal. The drillers went
through the coal measures. but
struck nothing worth while. They
pushed on little further and still
found nothing. Everybody was dis
appointed. The manager of the min
ing company was vexed. When the
drillers quit and made ready to pull
up their drills, he stopped them
you might as we'll drill the rest OF
the 600 feet right here as well as
anywhere else for all the good it will
do" he said in his veXation.
So the drillers sent their drills on
down on what everybody thought i
sort of fools errand. Nothing but
the usual sand and lime stones were
found until at $50 feet depth the
drills began to bore out core Of
white, crystalline substance. 1t look
ed interesting but nobody knew whai
| it was. Some of the maetrial was
| sent to Professor Boyer. He prompt
ly called it gypsum of fine quality
and then entered upon an investiga
ton with the Centerville prospectors
The probability is that the dc
uosit is nearly half mile across one
way" says Professor Boyer. "Hov
far it extends in the other direction
we do not know. The vein will pro
duce 1000 tons per acre for eacl
foot of thickness. The largest gyp
sum mills use about 10000 tons o
raw gypsum per year. If the Cen
terville vein runs about 3 feet thick
an acre of it will run a great mill TO
year"
