west, and finally settled in Nevada.
In the fall of 1872, he was running
wood camp and had contracts for
supplying some of the mills in that
neighborhood with fuel. The wood
camp was merely a means to an end,
for he was always looking, prospect
ing, testing and hoping to find valu-
able mining property. As he tramped
over the hills locating timber he could |
distinctly see the cleaning white sur
face OF a salt marsh, and one day de-
cided to make tour of inspection. 1t
did not take him long to find that the |
marsh was covered with heavy in
crustation of crystalized substance. |
Crude tests showed it to be borax,
and as 1t afterwards proved, he had
by chance run upon the very richest
section of the deposits.
Without waiting for a chemists an
alysis he established dry camp on
the marsh, took down provisions and
pack animals and proceeded to locate
several thousand acres, most Of which
| afterward proved worthless. He found
afterward that the ANALYSIS of the
specimens proved them to be the very
finest borate of soda that had been
found up to that time.
At that time borax was worth thirty
cents a pound in carloads, but it soon
dropped to only a fraction of that. Ar
rangements were made to put up q
plant, and the production of borax was
then begun on a commercial scale. 1t
was little known except to the drug
gists and blacksmiths, and druggists
were retailing 1t at twenty-five cents
per ounce. The total consumption in
the United States at that time was
only about 600 tons per annum, never
theless, before Mr.. Smiths products
got on the market the price had fallen
to about ten cents pound. Through
very extensive and persistent advertis-
ing $50 Mule Team" borax is now sold
all over the land and used in the ma
; jority of better class homes.
This marsh deposit was worked
continuously for about IS years, when
it became exhausted. Borax was then
, discovered in a ledge formation in
Death Valley, California, and Mr.
Smith acquired the deposits. He or
ganized what Is now known as the Pa
cific Coast Borax Company. of which
he is still the president.
Twenty-mule teams were used in
I, transporting the crude material from
r Death Valley to the railroad at Mo
java, distance of 1865 miles. 1t tool
/ twenty days to make the round triI
with about carload of material. i
can easily be seen that this method
would be very inadequate at the pres
ent time when the demand for bora2
has reached into the thousands o
l tons per annum. At the present the
crude material is being transported
;, over standard, broad gauge railroad
direct from the mines to the factory.
The development of the borax indus
try in this country has been under tn,

since 1872, and his work has giver

Berlin Schools Suffer Little.

Berlin-war has made very little
change in the aspect of $40 public
schools of Berlin, which continue
their educational work without inter-
ruption. OF the 5000 men teachers
large percentage was called to the
colors and of them over 100 have
been killed or have died of their
wounds Their places in the schools
have been taken for the most part by
temporary substitutes, many OF them
women, but in some cases it has been
found necessary to combine classes.
The high schools and the universities
have been more severely affected. as
1900 university students were of mill
tary age and many high school boys
enlisted as volunteers. The total num-
Der of students entered at the univer-
sity for the current winter term was
$685. instead of 10000 as in times
of peace. Women students number
900, about the same as usual.

merits of the gas range were installed
and advertised. Men who had
never thought Of the saving of labor
and expense possible by using small
electric motors in their shops found
out-through advertising. Local mer-
chants we're shown the increased
trade that they could get by having
their stores being lighted. Electric
signs were popularized.
The first year the advertising sold
seven carloads of gas stoves. 1t sold
coke at fair price, instead of at q
loss as before. It sold gas heaters,
irons, fixtures and novelties. 1t put
in 124 new electric motors for small
power users. It put up electric signs
and ornamental lighting effects.
In these ways, as well as through
the stimulation of ordinary consump-
ton, it very greatly increased the use
of gas and electric current.
At the end of the year the total div
idends, which estimates had said were
going down to $4,000, were $4,000. At
the end of the second year of the
same policy the aggregate dividends
were $4,000. And this with all bills
for advertising paid. And with the
public buying it's gas and electricity
far cheaper than it ever had before.
But, apart from better dividends and
lower price to the consumer, what did
the advertising do for that city?
1t gave the city better-lighted stores
and streets. 1t put labor-saving de.
vices into hundreds of homes. 1t cut
the cost of operation for scores OF
small, struggling manufacturers. II
showed people how to get and use
things that made their lives cleaner
and easier. 1t made, in short, a more
comfortable, more alert and prosper
