DEMAND FOR
RARE MINERALS
EUROPEAN WAR CREATES NEW
FIELDS FOR PROSPEcTORS IN
MINERS.

The European war is going to
be very direct benefit to the
people of this country in making
them realize the value of their
mineral resources. In the past
it has been easier, and in many
cases cheaper, to get mineral
products from abroad, rather
than to go to the trouble and ex-
pense of developing our own
resources. But the elimination of
this foreign supply has started
American energy and enterprise
for the greater development and
utilization of the resources that
have been heretofore neglected.
We are finding that we can get
along without these imports, and
that we have everything here for
the requirements of our present
day civilization, Many of our
mineral deposits are still unde-
veloped, but the call that is in
for these products should cause
Ia rapid advancement. 1t Will
make Americans independent of
the world, and will probably con-
tinue after the war is ended,
Within the last few weeks a
large number of inquiries has
come to the bureau of mines of
the University of Arizona for
information on many heretofore
unlocked for minerals. An in
Quiry recently came for mona
| zite sands, which we have in
Mohave county. They have
been undeveloped, but now is
the time for the development and
sale of such products.
The powder companies are hot
on the trail of celestite and stron-
tianite. Celestite occurs about
Is miles south of Gila Bend,
Maricopa county, associated with
gypsum, sandstone and conglom-
crates. 1t is found in the form
of beds, and at this point is asso-
ciated with a bed 40 or so feet
thick, The upper 8 or 10 feet,
however, are the most promising
as a source of the mineral.
Another inquiry comes for
mercury, witherite and bismuth.
Mercury is found in number of
place in Arizona. and it is ex-
pected that we will assume con-
siderable Importance as a pro-
ducer of that mineral.
Manganese ores have become
important. An inquiry has been
made regarding them, although
in the past it has not been of
much Importance in Arizona,
owing to heavy freight rates to
the markets. But increased
prices make the mining of mag
aniferous ores profitable, and
there are many deposits of the
same in the state" To be of COM
mercial value it must contain at
least thirty-fve per cent of man.
ganese, and otherwise conform
to the specifications of the trade
with regard to sulphur, phos-
phorus, etc. These two elements.
however, are not of much note
in many deposits of the slate,
The above are but a few of
the many things that are being
eagerly sought at this time.
Owners of deposits of the above
mentioned minerals may be as
sisted in the sale of their products
by the University of Arizona
Bureau of Mines. 1t is hoped
that the Bureau may be able to
act as an agent to bring the con-
sumer and producer together.
10 better opportunity will pre-
sent itself for the development
and utilization of our mineral
resources than the present Euro
pean war. 1t will make the
slogan Made in America" even
better known than that Made
in Germany.

Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are
small and probably OF little efficiency.
and France has numerous types about
which little Is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or more Of the
French types.
The submarine, from romantic
viewpoint. should be great factor In
deciding naval engagement but the
fact remains that up to the present
time II has done nothing to prove It's
value. II was believed that the moral
effect OF the submarine would be ell
most as important as Its physical ef.
feet upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up TO
the present moment
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and do

marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
under water, and Is compelled to re-
sort to the use OF the periscope. which
energies unostentatiously above the
water. in order to see Its own course.
II is known that the periscope is
the eye OF the submarine, and natural
~ attention has been paid to the best
way of destroying this vital part of
their boats.
The designers OF he'submarine did
not count upon II being seen. II was
believed that it would go upon its way,
dealing death without observation, al.
though it's periscope does make a
slight wake on the water and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles.
glt Il has been discovered that from
certain height an observer may trace
the course OF a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as If 1t was
running on the surface The dirigible
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine, and
they both are supposed to be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like a
fish.

Now Inferior Grades Cost Double

About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much Of it had
been rejected. But that ''off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance of
