tanta Canyon, where the same strata lies ln undisturbed sedimentary con- tact. The limestones have the texture of marble. The serpentine of the bands and nodules shows no trace o1
 alteration in structure due to deriva- tlon from pyroXene, hornblende, og olivine. The slides cut across the veins of asbestos showed that they are later than the serpentine ill
 which they are generally inclosed. A
 great number of microscopic veins of asbestos were revealed in some of the slides where their presence was un- suspected Some of these veins cut across both the serpentine and the limestone in the same slide.
 The asbestos in the larger veins is of high grade and is said by Diller to be the best yet found in the United States. Locally it's cross fiber is four inches in length and is of great tensile strength. The larger veins, so far as known are confined to the limestones that lie beneath the diabase sill, the veins above the sill, though more widely distributed through the limestones, being gener- ally smaller. The veins below the sillare not absolutely constant in stra- tigraphic position. They may lie any where from 3 to 15 feet below the contact. The width of these veins varies greatly from place to place, so that vein that is three inches wide in one locality may be represented by zone of innumerable small veins in another, but the actual continuity of the zone that carries the asbestos is rarely broken.
 Origin-The limestones contain ser pentine and asbestos only where the strata are invaded by the diabase sill. The shades that are invaded by the diabase do not contain these min erals which in no place in the area occur within the diabase itself They are therefore a product of the contact metamorphism of the limestones by the diabase and as Diller suggests, the serpentine that incloses the veins of asbestos is probably derived from some mineral in the iimestones and not from the diabase. The limestones themselves are magnetism and contain bands and nodules of Chert In an other part of the area the shades in contact with the diabase were con- verted to jaspers, the change indicat- ing that the fumarolie action accom- panying the injection of the diahasic magma was characterized by aqueous and probably silicious carnations and was fairly intense. The fumarolie action on the magnetism limestones may have converted their more sili- cious portions into serpentine. The occurrence of the asbestos in veins that cut across both the nodules of serpentine and the limestones show that the cross fiber asbestos was formed somewhat later in the se- quence of events attending the fum- arolie action.

Silica


 WASHINGTON-T marketed pro- duction of silica in the United States in 1913, as reported to the United States Geological Survey, was 232,- 192 short tons, valued at s953,S The general term silica includes vein quartz, sand and crushed sandstone, tripoli, and diatomaceous earth. The marketed production of quartz in 1913 was 97,902 short tons, valued at $201,- 4SS, against 97,S74 short tons valued at s191, ,6S5 in 1912. rhere was total productions in 1913 of 106,S57 short tons of sand and sandstone used in paint filters, polishing powders, SCOUT ing material, etc, valued at $66, 52S. The production of tripoli in 1913 was 20,S31 short tons, valued at s215,617. The total output of diatomaceous earth in 1913 was 6,602 short tons, valued at $69,304.
 The principal uses of silica, as stat ed by Frank J. Katz in a chapter from Mineral Resources of the Unit ed States Geological Survey, are in the manufacture of pottery, paints, securing soaps, as wood filler, and as a pQlisher.

UNCLE SAM SHOULD HELP

For every $375O0 worth of pro- ducts raised by the farmers of the United States, the federal government contributes to agriculture $100.
 For the coming fiscal year the federal government has contributed $24,00000 for agriculture; for the entire mining industry less than a million has been appropriated.
 We have no complaint to make in regard to the appropriation for agri- cultural work. Every dollar so far expended has been proven a wise in vestment by the marvellous progress of the farming industry but we do insist that the great mineral industry which is second only in importance to farming with a million men em- ployed in the mines and another mill lion directly connected with the man ufacture of their products is not be- ing given the recognition to which it is entitled and that it intends to in sist upon having"
 The above statements were made by F.. L. Wolcott, Assistant Secretary of the Mining Congress, who has opened headquarters, and is perfecting arrangements for the annual cOnven- ton of that organization, which will meet in this city during tne rrst week in December.
 "The Canadian government encour- ages the miner in every way possible MT. Wolcott continued, even to the extent of offering bonuses for the discovery of minerals not known to exist in that country, while the policy of this government seems to be to put such obstacles and restrictions in the way of the miner as to dis

FIuorspar Deposits Ample

WASHINGTON-Th can be no question of the adequacy of the Amer ican supply of fluorspar to meet all demands in case the English supply is cut off. The fluorspar industry of the United States has shown a steady growth from a production of 4.000 short tons in 1884 to 115, 5S0 tons, val ued at $l36,2S6 in 1913. This notable gain has been conditioned largely by the growth of the open n-hearth pro cess of steel manufacture, which ah- sorbs about so per cent of the f1uor- spar produced.
 Fluorspar is used also as a Aux in blast furnaces, iron foundres, and silver, copper and lead smeltcrs; ir the manufacture of fluorides of iron and manganese for steel fluXing; in the manufacture of glass, enameled, and sanitary ware and of hydrofluOric acid; in the production of aluminium; in the electrolytic refining of antimOny and lead; and for many other pur poses.
 The increase in the home produc- ton and the imposition of a tariff on fluorspar in 1909 have resulted in q marked decrease in the amount brought in from foreign countries, and in 1913 only 22,6S2 short tons was inn ported compared with the 115,5S0 tons produced at home. The imports came almost entirely from Great Britain and amount to over B per cent of the total English production of this min eral The English product entering at New York is able to compete with domestic spar" as far west as Pitts burg.
 In 1915 the American output came from Illinois, Kentucky, New Mexico, Colorado, New Hampshire and Ari zona, named in the order of yield. Furthermore, the foreign spar is of lower grade than the mechanically treated spar from Illinois and Ken lucky, and as fluorspar is of value chiefly according to it's purity, pur chasers find that the purer American spar is more efficient and consequent ly cheaper in the end.

an excellent grade of pulrerized silica, which is used for the same purposes as silica powder. Diatonlaceous Gn- fusOriaD earth is also used to make polishing powder for purposes similar to those for which quartz, sand, and tripoli powder are used, but diatOma- ceous earth has somewhat different properties and finds for the most part different application.
 Quartz crushed and graded to varl- ous sizes is used in the manufacture of sandpaper and sand belts, as securing agent, and for ''frosting glass with sand-blast apparatus, etc Quartz and quartzite are used in the chemical industry as a filler for acid towers and as fluX in copper smelt- ing.
 Crystalline quartz and also sand have been used in the manufacture of silicon and of alloys of silicon with iron, copper and other metals in the electric furnace. Quartz may be fused in the electric furnace to make chemi- cal apparatus, such as tubes, crucibles Iicba

RAIL STRIKES AYERTED
BY BOARD OF MEDIATION
Submits Report of Work Accom-
plished During First Year
of Its Existence.

That there have been twenty-eight
cases of differences between railroad
employers and their employees, involv-
ing 124,503 of the latter. brought to the
attention of the United States board of
mediation and conciliation during the
first year of it's existence is Informal
ton contained in the first annual report
of that body, submitted to President
Wilson yesterday by William L. Cham
bers, the commissioner. The board was
established by act of Congress, ap-
proved July 10. 1913.
Some of these cases were submitted
by one side; some by the other, and
some jointly, and in all except two
strike votes had actually been taken
before the services of the board were
requested. There have been, however
but two instances where this vote be-
came effective, and this for a short time
only. In other words. no railroad strike
in this country during the first year of
the operation of the board.
In one of the cases where the strike
vote did become effective the request
for mediation services was not received
until late in the evening, and tie
strike was get for o'clock next morn
ing. 1t lasted, however, but twelve
hours. In the other case the applica-
ton for mediation was received from
one of the parties. but it was declined
by the other. An amicable adjustment
was reached, nevertheless, with no de-
struction to property and with but
slight detriment to public interest
OF the twenty-eight cases, twentv-one
were adjusted wholly through mediat ton
and two by arbitration and media ton
combined. In but tive cases was it neces-
sary to submit all matters in contro-
versy to boards of arbitration.

Delusion of Vast Wealth.

Messrs. Prouty, Johnson, Crisp and H.
J. Browne affirm that Washington's rea-
sonable tax burden, instead of being five,
six or seven millions, like that of Mime
apolis. New Orleans. Milwaukee, Newark,
etc, is fifteen millions, much greater than
ST Louis (s12,354,s1S). Cleveland (s1o.-
o19.so7). Buffalo (ss.42s.7s1) or Balti-
more (ss,s43,O05). The small taxed
fraction of Prouty's Washington. fabu-
lousy wealthy, though comparatively
destitute of visible taxable resources, can,
he says. bear a tax burden as great as
those of wealthy, rich and populous Bal
timore and Minneapolis combined: or
Buffalo and New Orleans combined; or
ST. Louis and St Paul combined.
Mr.. Prouty's speech of last session con-
tains a table which gives the figures of
expenditure of the states OF the Union

ing the pay of all state officers, its legis-

All three cities are over 100000 In
population and consequently the coun-
ty tax is figured by the census in the
tax levies. Minneapolis thus gets the
benefit of this special addition to her
lax levy while Washington suffers
from the non-incIusion in the census cal
culation of the tax on the gross incomes
of public service corporations In lieu
Of personal taxes. This revenue IN
Washinston's case is especially heavy,
the tax derived from this source being
..reater than that derived from the per-
sonal tax on individuals. Yet it does not
figure at all IN the total and per capita
tax levy
The revenue from this source is for
