A NEW DISINFECTANT

As result of experiments conduct ed at the Hygienic Laboratory of the United States Public Health Service 1t is announced that new disinfectant possessing qualities superior to ordi- nary disinfectants, has recently been discovered. The announcement is par ticularly important at this time, com ing as it does in the face of the short age in coal tar derivaties which has resulted from the European conflict.
 The new preparation is derived from pine oil, by-product in the man. ufacture of turpentine. It is easily prepared by mixing certain propor- tions of the oil with rosin and sodium hydroXide solution, the finished pro duct being a reddish-brown liquid, rather thick and oily in appearance but free from turbidity. With water it makes a perfectly white emulsion, much resembling milk. It has a pleasing odor. no objectionable taste. and attacks neither fabrics nor metals It possesses over four times the disin- fectant properties of carbolc acid and is altogether nontoxic, so that it may safely be used as a throat spray or mouth wash in solutions of the ordi- nary strength. The cost of the pre- paration is remarkably low as it can be manufactured for less than fifty cents gallon, solely from products which are produced in this country.
 Many of the disinfectants now on the market are neither efficient nor economical, it having been dmonstrat- ed that number of the most eXpen- sive and widely advertised are eX- tremely weak in disinfecting power, so much so that their strength is un- determinable by ordinary methods. The sale of compounds of this nature constitutes a fraud. A second class of proprietary preparations are of guaranteed strength, thus putting a legal responsibility upon the manufac- turer, but the cost of these per unit of disinfecting power is frequently excessive. The householder is there fore often at a loss to select a disin- fectant which is efficient, economical and of constant strength and it is be- lieved that this new compound, which is to be known as "Hygienic Labora- tory Pine-Oil Disinfectant,' will be- come one of the most useful prepara- tons of that character.

Miami

Miami is producing at the rate of 45, 000, ,000 lbs. of copper per annum at a cost of close to Sc a pound. On this operating basis the company is earning better than $7 a share on the outstand- . ing stock. The surplus quick assets are in excess of $1 200. 900 and the ac- ton of the directors at the meeting on Thursday in increasing the quarterly dividend from 50 to 75 cents was fully warranted.
 Changes are now being made in the concentrating mill which will insure a of the six sections handling 700 tons daily as compared with 800 tons at present. It is believed that within a few months Miami will be producing more than 50,00000O pounds of copper n year at cost of s cents or better.
 Miami has developed reserves of 36. 5OO.OO0 tons of 1855 per cent ore which indicates life ot at least 9 years for the property at the present rate of pro- duction. Furthermore, there are ex- cellent possibilities of adding to the known reserves by exploration and development.
 The successful development of the property is largely due to the ability of the company's vice president and consulting engineer, Mir J. Park Chan nlng, who is recognized as one of the worlds leading mining engineers.
