that the failure OF the police to identify

TUNGSTEN PRODUCTION
OF THE UNITED STATES

The production of tungsten ore in
the United States during 1912 was
equivalent to about 1880 short tons
carrying 60 per cent of tungsten tri-
oxide, valued at $502,15S. The out
put for 1912 was larger than that for
1911, when 1889 tons, valued at
$407 1856, we're produced. The total
amount of tungsten produced in the
world in 1912 was 9115 short tons.
Tungsten finds considerable use in
the manufacture of tungsten incan-
descent lamps, which have now be-
come common even on street and
railway cars, where the usage is espe-
cially severe. An account of the
tungsten industry in this and foreign
countries is contained in an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources,
1912" on the production of cobalt,
molybdenum, nickel, tantalum, tin,
titanium, tungsten, uranium and vana-
dunn, just issued by the United
States geological survey. The uses
which these metals have found in the
arts and industries, their production
throughout the world and advances in
methods of recovery and refining are
accurately described in the chapter, a
copy of which may be obtained free
on application to the director of the
geological survey, Washington, d, c

The arbitrary waving of the liqui

no one is compelled to live up to q
/ contract, as the arbitrators admitted
/ the liability of the contractors fol
the $25 day for the excess time
occupied in finishing the building
and yet excused them from payini
the same. The only ground for thi
ruling was that the trustees wer
out nothing except for the time o
two teachers, which was assessed
against the contractors.
The extra work done of the con
tractors was done without an orde
from the board of trustees, who yer,
properly refused TO recognize it, ac
cording to the terms of the contract
which stipulated that all such extr
work should be done only on explici
orders. These orders were not issue
and the arbitrators. in rendering thei
decision, practically ruled that cor
