KOREA IS HELPING TO
SUPPLY ALLIED TROOPS

SEOUL, Korea. Aug. 3.-Korea's
contribution to supplies for the al
lies is chiefly cloth for Russia and
upon this almost every fireside is en-
gagged. The Chosen Tanning COM
pany, is however. turning out a big
number of boots and ammunition
pouches and cases for the Russian
armies.
Orders to the value of one and one
half million yen or about $75O,00O
have already been filled by this con-
Germ. The Russian military author
tiles are already negotiating for an
other large order. The vast exten-
sion of business has obliged the
company to take CT a big force OF
extra workmen who are mostly 10
reans with some japanese. The plant
is running day and night. Some pris-
on inmates have also been employed
in the work.
Big orders for cattle, rice and mis-
cellaneous leather goods are being
filled in northern Korea for Asiatic
Russia. The people throughout the
country are thus benefiting by the
war, for almost every worker has an
opportunity of placing his services.

USES OF CHRONIC IRON ORES

Chronic iron ores + used foI
diverse purposes. They are in great
demand in making refractory chrome
bricks and furnace lining; in max
ing alloys; in manufacturing steel
for cutting tools. ~projectiles and
armor plate; in a great chemical
industry which produces many col
ors and dyes, and in tanning. Cali.
fornia produced almost the entire
annual output of chronic iron ore
reported in the United States in
and a small output of chrom:
lite sand was reported from several
points near Baltimore. Md. in tina:
year. The opening of the Panama
canal is expected to obviate in large
measure the difficulty formerly eX-

DIVIDE NOW HAS 2f,
LEASES IN OPERATION

AL Champion with Billy Robinson,
who has just disposed of all his in
terest in Rochester, returned on
Wednesday from an extended visit
to Divide, says the Battle Mountain
Scout. From a conversation with
Mr.. Champion we gathered that
while there are twenty-One leases in
operation, so far not sufficient de-
velopment has been accomplished
to warrant a positive opinion as to
the value or permanency of the new
camp.
High values have been had from
some claims, but high values in
small quantities do not always make
a permanent output. 1t is always
wise to make haste slowly, especial
ly in mining.
Within the next three or four
months the development of the
claims will enable us to judge with
calmness whether the camp will be
one of permanence.

OLD RYE PATCH CAMP
SHOWS SIGNS OF LIFE

Old Rye Patch camp in Humboldt
county. where a number of Utah OPP
orators have been interested for
many years, promises to come to the
front again. The Lovelock Miner
Review says hat a recent discovery
of lead, together with the fine sill
yer values, has just come out in
the Blackburn-Taylor find near Rye
Patch. Cropping about 800 feet the
ore has been shown to have a width
of from one to three feet. 1t is a
fine grained brownish white quartz
apparently carrying galena.
The rock concentrates 10 to l and
the concentrates from this ore as
says 1922. So far only location
work has been done and no great
depth has been attained.
The location of the property Is
very good being about t~hree-fourths
of a mile from the old Rye Patcn
mine and three and a half miles
down hill to the railroad, and with
an opportunity to build a good road
with little expense.
]. o. Blackburn and c. A. Taylor
are the discoveries. They state that
there is sufficient water for milling
or concentrating and that
there is an excellent site for a mill
en- the ground. The electric power
line comes within six miles of the
property.

FACTS ABOUT LIMESTONE

A ton of absolutely pure limestone
would burn to a little over half its
weight of lime, or about 1,120
pounds, which, counting so pounds
to a bushel, would give IA bushels
OF lime to a ton. The weight Of
the burned product generally aver
ages more than this, owing to the
impurities in the limestone and also
because in ordinary kilns the com.
'bustion is not complete enough to
drive off all the carbon dioxide.
A cubic foot of limestone aver
pounds, which would make a ton
of limestone contain from II to
144 cubic feet.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
IN j. s. IN YEAR 1914

The figures of building opera
tions for 1914 just made public by
the geological survey show that al
though there was an apparent gener-
al decrease in building operations
throughout the country 10 cities
which during the year 1913 showed
decreased rallied in 1914 and show
ed increases. The most noteworthy
feature in the building industry in
1914 vas the large decrease in New
York city, by which it lost it's rank
as the leading city in cost of build
ing operations. being surpassed by
Chicago. The cost of building oper-
atoms in Chicago was $83,261,71
against $74,O3O,241 in New York.
New York's decrease compared with
1913 amounted to $33,074,466. The
greatest increase shown in any city
was in San Francisco, $7,140,2A9,
the second largest increase being
in Brooklyn.
In As selected cities the total
cost of building operations in 1914
was $~619,752,345 compared with
1918, 22O,625 in 1913.
Efforts were made by the survey
TO obtain detailed information from
the leading cities in population. Re-
plies we're received from LAT, 113
of them furnishing sufficient de-
tails to permit the publication Of
figures by classes of buildings.
Building operations in the lat cities
cost $7S5,525.746 in 1914. In 113
of these cities the new buildings of
all kinds cost $461, 6S1.109; new
wooden buildings, $165,226,25O;
new FIRE resisting building. $3.50
454,S5S, and new brick buildings,
S296,454,6S2 All other new fire
resisting buildings cost $114,49'-
176. The cost of all additions. al
terations. and repairs in these li3
cities was 67,230,432.
