since it started six years ago. first, in
the tonnage treated, and secondly in
the extraction obtained from ore run

The earning of the mill was not as
high as in 1913, because of more ore

which the mill account is charged the

acquisition of more property. and for
that purpose a nucleus of 100000 was
set apart The search will not be con-

London, Jan. 4.-Another fifty men
from the battleship Formidable. lost in
the English channel Friday have
reached safety after riding out fierce
gale for upward of 20 hours in an open
cutter, making total of 2O1 survivors
out of a crew of $40.
These figures place the total loss at
4s9. The latest survivors landed at
Lyme-Regis, on the Dorset coast. All
were in a state of exhaustion after
their terrible experience.
They declare that there is little hope
of any further survivors, as the tre-
mendous sea which was running at tho
time made it impossible for men to
live long enough to be picked up by
passing vessels, while many of those
clinging to the wreckage undoubtedly
were killed when the second explo-
sion occurred.
Fighting Continues.
The land fighting, which is sporadic
in the west but more continual in the
east, has brought about no material
change in the situation. The artillery
is playing the biggest part along the
western front, although at points there
has been close-range fighting in which
lew yards have been gained or lost.
The Germans deny the French re-
port that they have been driven out of
part of the village of Steinbach, up
per Alsace, which has been the scene
of very sanguinary fighting for a week

houses.
There have been engagements on
the rivers Bzura and Rawka, in Pol
and, but seemingly the Germans are
no nearer Warsaw than they were
week ago. They have commenced Of

Kielce, one of the larger towns of
southern Poland, which doubtless has
for its object the holding up of the

Plot to Steal Passports Blocked.
New York.-An alleged conspiracy
to furnish German army officers and
reservists with American passports
fraudulently obtained, to enable them
to return to Germany from this coun-
try without danger of molestation by
French or English authorities, was
brought to light by the Department Of
Justice. The disclosure came with the
arrest of Carl Ruroede, a former agent
for the North German Lloyd steamship
line, and with the removal from the
outward-bound steamer Bergensfjord
of a German army officer and three
German reservists. All were charged
with conspiracy to defraud the United
States government through the use of
American passports.
Following the New York arrests
Morris Deitch, said to be New York
attorney, was taken into custody at the
home of his father-in-law in Philadel.
phia and was released later on s25.0O0
bond.
The four soldiers were taken off the
steamer. which was bound for Bergen.
Norway, just as she was passing quar-
antine. and brought back to New York
on a revenue cutter. All four bore
Photographic passports issued by the
State Department to Americans and
alleged to have been furnished them
by Ruroede.

CLEANING STAINED STUCCO.
How Discolorations, Due to Iron
Rust, May Be Removed,

In the case of a stucco house the iror
work In various places rusted and dis
colored the stucco. The owner wanted
to know how to remove this rust from
the stucco and wrote the Concrete.
Cement age in regard to 1t.
The question was discussed by two
experts, one Of whom offered the fol.
lowing suggestions:
IF these stains are purely Of surface
discoloration, 1t should be possible tc
remove them with a wire brush; il or
the contrary, the entire thickness Of
the stucco has become stained, it will
be necessary to put on a cement WASH
to cover the spots, or to cut out the
stained portions and put on new
stucco."
The other expert suggested this pro.
cedure:
"A solution Of hydrochloric acid anl
stannous acid will remove iron rust
from concrete, and will not injure the
concrete if the treatment is administer.
washed with clean water. The solution
mentioned has an affinity for carbonat,
of lime. consequently 1t should not b.
used where hydrated lime has been in.
corporated in the mixture. Rough An.
ished cement stucco should be treated
my spraying with tho above solution a.
the result will be more thorough ant
the work more rapid than by the use
of brush.
Very satisfactory results may alst
be obtained by diluting one of the com
mercial cement paints until 1t is thin
enough to use in a spray pump, ant
painting the surface Of the stucco by
spraying the diluted paint upon it,

EFFL0RESCENCE ON WALLS.
How It May Be Removed and Pre-
vented From Reappearinp.

Answering the query of corre-
spondent who wanted to be informed
how the efiorescence on brick and
rough cast" walls. commonly known
as "saltpeter," could be removed and
prevented from appearing after re-
moval. a recent issue of the Painters
Magazine contained the following sug-
gestions:
Before the so-caIled saltpeter can be
removed successfully. 1t is necessary to
investigate the cause of its appearance
This crystalline efriorescence is com
posed mostly of water soluble salts.
that may have been present in the lime
mortar. in the sand or in the water. The
salts are often also present in bricks
that are imperfectly burned or compos-
ed of inferior clay. Finally. it is pos
sible that these salts may find their
way into the walls through moisture
the rule that after a short period Of dry
warm weather. the salts come to the
surface and form whittish deposit Of
a granular nature. The remedy must
adapt itself to the cause of tho trouble.
II 1t ia caused by moisture arising
from the foundation Of the wall the
remedy lies in the isolation of the foun-
age. because IL this Is not done the ef-
aorescence will appear again during
the first wet spells after Its removal
The efnorescence in any case can be re-
moved by brushing of with very dilute
muriatic acid. to be followed by a thor
ough washing with clear water. This
done. the surface should be protected

Beauty. Durability and Resistance

One of the varieties of stone that has

dawn of civilization is sandstone. This

in almost every country. and 1t has
such diversity of color and texture that

beauty. sandstone has been commended
to the builder by its great durability
and its resistance to attacks by fire
and the acids of the atmosphere Many
of the most notable buildings that have
come down from antiquity are OF sand
