PROPOSES TO PREVENT
A SHORTAGE OF CARS

The railroad commission of Ne
vada has sent out letters to the ship
pers and receivers of freight requests
that during the next few months
they use every effort to load and
unload cars in less than fOrty-eight
hours free time permitted under the
demurrage rules. 1t is explained in
the requests that during the period
named the preponderance of traffic
will be outbound, thereby %lessening
the number of cars which will be
available for use.
Shippers are also requested to
load cars to their full capacity, which
will materially reduce the number
of cars needed to handle their bust
ness. The railroads are urged to
handle promptly, when billed, all
carload shipments, to move empty
cars to loading points without delay
and promptly repair all crippled and
bad order cars. The committee feels
that a cooperation of shippers and
railroads will assist materially in
preventing a serious car shortage.

AUSTIN-DAKOTA MEN
VISIT THEIR PROPERTY

]. F. Buttrew and c.. A. Newman
of North Dakota, officers of the Aus
tin-Dakota Development company,
spent several days here last week in
looking over their property for the
purpose of reporting the progress be-
ing made. To a representative of the
Reveille they said:
Yes, We are more than pleased
with the progress that has been made
on the property by General Manager
Littrell, and with the condition and
outlook of the property in general.
While we knew in a general way that
the property had a fine mineral show
ing, it is far better than we expected,
it being possible to realize its true
magnitude only by a personal in
spection. All the lodges which have
been cut, both in the main incline
and tunnels, carry very good values;
some picked samples assayed very
high, and we believe as we go down
on these lodges the values will in
crease, and we agree with Mr.. Lit
rell that we must reach depth and
continue to the east until we encoun-
ter the large cross dykes on the prop
erty, where we believe the big ore
bodies will be struck" = Austin

MINERAL RESOURCES
OF SECTION OF TEXAS

The United States geological sur
vey has issued, as bulletin $50, a
report entitled Mineral Resources
of the Llana-Burnet Region, Texas"
by Sidney Paige. The region COW
cred by the report includes portions
'of LlanO. Mason and San Saba cOun-
ties, in central Texas. A geologic
map of the whole states and also an
economic and geologic map of the
area described as the Llano quad
rangle is contained in the bulletin.
The result of many examinations of
the iron ores of this region are given,
also the results of many assays of
gold, but the quantities of gold
found were small. The copper.
graphite, rare metals and structural
materials found in the area are dis
.cussed briefly. The report desribes
granite of three types and states that
there is an enormous quantity of
clear graphite in the region, much of
it we'll suited for large structures
were transportation better and a
more active market available. The
supply of granite in this region is
practically i~nexhaustible, and as
transportation facilities improve and
the demand for structural material
increases by reason of the growth in
population. the granite industry will
in time become one of the most i'm
IpOrtant industries in this part of the
country. The area contains several
active granite quarries. The Gran
lite Mountain quarry, located on the
Houston e Texas Central railroad,
near the town of Marble Falls. has
furnished material for the capitol
building at Austin and for court
houses in Galveston, Houston and
other places.

HALF-WATT NITRO LAMPS

Half-watt nitro lamps, the latest
development in the field of electric
lighting, according to report, bid fair
to modify the present methods of
Illuminating. The advance which
this new lamp marks may be better
understood by a comparison of eff
cheney with the time-honored carbon
filament and it's current consumption
of over six watts per candle power.
The new half-watt nitro lamp is of
the tungsten filament variety with
the bulb filled with nitrogen gas. At
present the lamps range in size from
500 to 5000 candle power, but with
the perfection of methods of manu-
facture it may be expected that the
half-watt nitro lamp, which is equal
ly suited to both alternating and
direct current, will be available in all
of the commercial sizes. - Mining

G~OODSPR|NGS IS
LIVE MINING CAMP
YELLOW PINE AND OTHER COM
PANIES INCREASE THEIR
OUTPUT

Correspondence from Goodsprings,
New, in the Salt Lake Mining Re-
view says:
During the month of June, the out
put of the Yellow Pine Mining COM
pany was considerably increased, al
though the mill is not yet operating
at full capacity. About 1900 tons of
zinc concentrate and $50 ON of lead
concentrate were shipped during the
month, together with $50 tons of
crude zinc ore, and it is expected that
the production will be materially in
creased as soon as the new working
shaft is in operation. A depth of
the new shaft, and it is expected that
connections will have been made with
the lowest workings within the next
thirty days. The company declared
its usual dividend of 1 cen per
share, during June.
The Potosi is now producing about
coo tons per month of high grade
zinc carbonate, the ore being hauled
by motor trucks to Arden, and ship
ped crude to eastern smelters. 1t IS
reported that the motor trucks are
operating very successfully and have
resulted in a material decrease of
haulage costs.
The Mountain Top mine, belonging
to the A. G.. Campbell estate, is now
under lease to Messrs. Wadey and
Frederickson, who have a force of
men engaged in development. The
ore is a mixed lead and zinc carbon
ate, of which there is considerable
tonnage in sight, and the ~leasers are
contemplating the erection of a tram
way and a suitable plant for the sep
aration of the lead and zinc minerals.
A new hoist has been installed at
the Fredrickson mine, being operated
by O'Kelly & Munzberg, and it is e
pected that shipments of zinc carbon
ate ore will be increased. w. E.
Allen shipped two cars of zinc ore
from the Bill Nye during the past
nlOIlIh, Lilu q q ioiSO - hSh az
work on development.
A new gasoline hoist is to be in
stalled at the Milford mine, and sink
ing will be resumed in the main
shaft.
Since the discovery of high-grade
gold ore in the Boss mine, on the 9TH
err side of the range, a general
exodus from Goodsprings has taken
place., and the new locality is the
scene of considerable activity. Lo-
cal automobiles and teams have been
kept busy taking men and supplies to
the vicinity of the new strike. Sew
eral Of the claims recently located
show excellent groupings, and it is
very probable that development,
which is sure to follow, will disclose
other bodies OF higE-grade ore.

AMERICAN PETROLEUM
SOCIETY IS SUCCESS

The American Petroleum society,
which was organized to promote the
science of petroleum technology,
gives promise of becoming a most
useful organization. and it is to be
hoped that the membership cam
paign now oeing conducted will meet
with the hearty response of those
interested, either directly or indi-
rectly in the production and use OF
petroleum., bitumen and gas. The
Importance of the oil and gas indus
try is evidenced by the value of the
production in the United States last
year, which amounted to over $780,
100000, approximately II per cent
of the worlds supply. In 1907 the
t~echnologic branch of the United
States geological survey, acting un-
der authorization of congress, under
took a comprehensive study of Pc
troleum and it's products, which
WOlh was duu 10 OClh6 ~
the bureau of mines. 1t became evil
dent to those in charge of the work
that without the cooperation of the
many men engaged in the industry
and the funding of their knowledge
for the advancement of the industry,
thin study would not lose much Of
it's effectiveness. The object of the
society is to consider, primarily, sub
jects relating to the science and
technology of petroleum and its pro-
ducts, with the purpose of investi-
eating those phases of the subject
which are of direct and pertinent
value to the industry, to join the
wisdom of the scientist to the knowl-
edge Of the practical oil man for the
advancement of the industry. In
that the leading petroleum associa-
lions of the United States plan to
make this society the arbiter OF
standards for the trade, it at once
gains a prestige which other new
societies of the other industries
might only hope to attain after
years of organization. At the pres
ent time there are not only a num-
Der Of individuals, but there are
about "A different committees in 43
different sections in the United
States which are investigating sub
'jects pertaining to petroleum with
mo forum available for the general
discussion of this subject. That
That there is a need for this society
is apparent and it's success as an or
g~anization should be assured. The
first annual meeting will be held in
New Orleans Oct. Is, 1914, and the
second in San Francisco from Oct.
25 to 80, 1915, where the socie1
will act as host at a worlds petro-'
leum congress.-Mining and Scien-
