ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN


Philanthropist Rosenwald.- no
tice that julius Rosenwald, Chicago's
pet philanthropist, has given $25, 900
to another Y. NJ G. A. That's all
right so far as it goes. l have no
doubt Rosenwald's intentions are
honorable, and that he is doing the
best he knows how.
But it doesn't go far, and won't
contribute much to humanity's up
lift. 1t makes no difference where
this particular Y. NJ. C. A. clubhouse
is located. 1t is the principle of the
thing am thinking of.
l don't know Rosenwald, but have
been interested in him just as l am
interested in any other very rich man
who has accumulated money exploit
ing men, women and children and
then tries to square himself with God
Almighty or his conscience by CIV
ing aims.
Carnegie robbed a large part of the
human family to make many mill
lions in the steel industry, and left
poverty and misery wherever he
stopped to gather up wealth. Then
he tried to square himself is
still at it-by building public libraries,
with his name on them, and giving
organs to churches. ....
Rockefeller is a modern Captain
Kidd, with none of the virtues of the
original; and he has tried to fool God
by giving money to found a Baptist
university and build other monu-
ments to himself.
Compared with these two, julius
RosenTald is a piker, but he is our
piker- Chicago's piker-and hence

CARRARA LEASE SENDS

rangements with the Western Ore

LARGE CHRONIC IRON ORE
DEPOSITS IN CALIFORNIA

Deposits of chronic iron r occur
in Maryland and the adjacent por-
ton of Pennsylvania, in North Caro-
lima, and in Wyoming, but the only
deposits operated in the United
States within recent years are in Cal
ifornia. Numerous deposits have
been reported in 80 counties of that
state according to the United States
Geological Survey, ana many of them
could be worked if the demand for
the ore and it's value warranted ex-
ploitation. The available deposits,
with much in reserve, largely exceed
the local demand for refractory ma
terial in a field extending as far east
as the Rocky Mountains.

Last Tuesday Miss G. A. Muenk,
secretary of the Smith Valley Mines
company, and T. H. Hunter and F..
G.. Woodbridge, heavy stockholders

trip to the Mason Valley Shelter at
Thompson. On arriving there Mr.. E.
G. Kamm, assistant to General Man

party in charge and showed them the
different points of interest in and
around the smelter; through the
sampler, ore bins, power house, to
the furnaces, showing how every
thing in the handling of the ore
from the time it is unlOaded at the

PROMISING VALUES

Conditions at the leasing company
are much the same as usual. In the
absence of Superintendent Hampton,
has been steadily continued in
h stope at the end of the incline,
where values are most promising.
The recent decision of the leasers to
clear the chutes OF its present load of
low grade, and send only shipping
rock down for sacking out doors has
elaxed the tension heretofore APP
parent through the overcrowded con-
ditions at the workings. With the
chute filled with milling ore. and the
shipping rock piled on the dump,
work was being carried on in alto

BAUX|Tf AND ALUMINIUM
IN RECORD PRODUCTION

The. year 1913 was the most pros
porous in the history of the bauxite
and aluminium Industries in the Uni
ted States, according to w. e. Phalen
of the United States geological sur
vey, in a report on the production
of bauxite and aluminium in 1913,
from Mineral Resources" The pro-
duction of bauxite in 1913 al 210,-
241 long tons, valued at ~$997,69S,
against. SO 1865 long tons, valued at
$76S,932, in 1912. Bauxite is used
chiefly as ray material in the produc-
ton of metallic aluminium, in the
manufacture of bauXite bricks, and
in the manufacture of alundum for
use as an abrasive.
The amount of aluminium cOnsum-
ed in the United States in 1913 was
72,379,O9O pounds, against G5,6O7,-
900 pounds in 1912. The marvellous
growth of the aluminium industry is
shown by a comparison of the 1913
output with the total consumption of
aluminium during the last 20 years,
$4,000. 900 pounds. More than $685.
100000 pounds have been consumed
in the last 10 years. The total pro-
duction in 1884 was only $50 pounds.
Aside from it's use in the manufac-
ture of cooking utensils aluminium is
now being employed IN a larger scale
in the construction of welded tanks,
cooking watts, and vessels used by
brewers, preserve manufacturers, and
fat ]ecoverers and in industries
where a metal is required that will
conduct heat, will lot corrode, and
is not poisonous. 1t has been found
by experiments hat the only sub
stances which dissolve any of the me-
tai are oranges, lemons. Brussels
sprouts and tomatoes, and that in
every test the quantity dissolved was
so small as to be harmless.
The use of aluminium wire as a con-
ductor in long distance power trans
mission schemes is increasing. A re-
ntly developed branch of the
0uminum industry is the manufac-
ture of the powdered metal known
as aluminium bronze powder, which is
used extensively as a paint pigment,
in explosives, in lithographing and in
printing. Aluminium foil has partly
displaced tinfoil for wrapping articles
such as cheese, cholocate candies and
tobacco. One of the newest and per-
haps oldest uses for aluminium is its
employment in making the soles OF
shoes to be used by workmen EN-
pleyed in wet and damp places. The
aluminum-soled shoe lasts much
longer than an ordinary shoe and is
said to be i%mpervious to dampness.
