FIND BENzoIc ACID ADULTERATED
Admittance of Adulterated Chemical Into
the United States Refused.

Recent examinations by the chemists
engaged in the enforcement of the food
and drugs act OF shipments of benzoic
acid offered for entry into the United
States have revealed that much OF it is
adulterated with boric acid This adul-
teration is probably due to the high price
which benzoic acid now commands ow
ing to its scarcity. II is quoted at about
Sll per pound, while the price OF high
grade boric acid is only twenty to TWEEN
ty-fve cents per pound As some OF the
shipments of benzoic acid have been
found to contain as much as thirty per
cent boric acid, the enormous profit in
this form of adulteration is apparent.
The officials in charge OF the enforce
ment OF the food and drugs act are OF
the opinion that benzoic acid containing
boric acid is adulterated, and that ship
ments of such a mixture offered for en-
try into the United States should be de- !

CHRONIC IRON ORE.

War Started

! Chronic iron ore is extensively used il
making colors and dyes and refractory
steel for armor plate, projectiles, and
high speed tools, and the demand for it
has greatly increased since the war il
Europe began.
The chronic ore mines of the Pacific
coast have been recently examined by
j. S. Dller, OF the United States geology
cal survey, who reports remarkable in
crease in production since the transcon
tinental railroads have so reduced freight
rates as to enable the chrome ore pro-
duced on the Pacific coast to compete
with the ore imported on the Atlantic
border.
For many years California has been
the only state producing chromite, and
it is still the chief producer Its produc-
ton is far greater than ever before. Its
output during the first six months OF
1916 was more than three times the
greatest annual yield of former years
and is still increasing, The chief pro-
ducing areas are the belts of serpentine
in the Sierra Nevada and coast ranges.
which are distributed through score
of counties Shasta county is still the
greatest producer and contains the larg
est ore body yet discovered in the state
Nearly all chrome ore is taken out of
open quarries. Most of the ore bodies
are small and are lenticular in shape,
containing from one to 200 long tons OF
ore. Few contain as much as a thous-
and long tons of ore, and many are the
source of blasted hopes in those who ex
plot them with great expectations.
Bodies OF chrome ore have recently |
been discovered in different parts of Ore I

The development of some promising bod |
es is awaited with much interest.

Declares Plunkett - Faint
Hope for Easement in
New Hearing

London, July 2s.-The breakdown OF
the Irish settlement does not in any
way injure the cause of home rule nor
| indicate any change in the attitude OF
the government toward the Irish ques-
ton, Sir Horace Plunkett told the Asso-
cated Press. Sir Horace, who for many
years has been identified with Irish ag-
ricultural and congestion problems, prob
ably possesses as broad a knowledge of
Irish affairs as does any man. He has
always maintained an aloofness from
party politics and enjoys general popu-
larity in all sections.
He continues;
"The government was anxious TO seize
the opportunity for an agreement between
Sir Edward Carson and John Redmond to
put the home rule act into immediate
effect, but before doing so it felt bound
to ascertain the real sentiment of the
Irish people, which proved more UNI
friendly toward the scheme than either
the government or its Irish advisers had
expected.
"John Redmond had the greatest diff
fculty in securing the support of those
OF his followers whom he had time to
and it soon became clear that he
could not carry with him the general as
sent of Nationalist Ireland.
Sir Edward Carson also severely
strained his authority in securing the |
limited approval of the Ulster Unionists. |
''The government was naturally wrong |
to impose on the Irish people settle |
ment unacceptable to them and it was
found that the scheme tentatively Of |
Tered to the two Irish leaders would |
meet with strong opposing both in Eng |
land and Ireland. Hence considerable |
ielay took place but in the result a great
Dlunder has been avoided. Opinion in
Ireland is obviously relieved by the
of the too hastily construct
d scheme.
"Home rule at the end of the war is
perfectly secure and the large measure

nd Redmond will doubtless be utilized
