road improvement has added at least
SIS 10 each acre OF land within half
mile OF improved roads. Tracts sold
at from IS to $40 Per acre were sold
again after road improvement at from
$40 10 $25 per acre.
In Lauderdale county, Miss, the to-
tai assessed valuation OF real proper
" outside Of the city was $3.50, SAG.
This increased in 1914 after road i'm
provement TO sS,1s3. 500. or 1874 per
cent. Local real-estate men place the
increase i'm land values on account of
improved roads at from 25 TO so per
cent.
In Manatee county, Fla, careful
study OF sales and real-estate records
indicated that the Improvement OF
roads has added from Is to 100 per
cent. or at least SIS per acre, to the
selling price OF all lands within one

EFFECT OF GOOD ROADS.


To determine as far as possible tho
exact dollars and cents effect on ac-
count of the improvement of bad
roads, specialists of the Office OF Pub
lie Roads and Rural Engineering OF
the department made economic sur
yeys in eight counties in each of the
Wars from 1910 to 1915, inclusive.
This Study of the increase in the
values OF farm lands in the eight
counties reveals the rather interest
ing fact that following the improve
ment OF the main market roads the
increase in the selling price OF tillable
farm lands served by the roads has
amounted TO from one to three times
the total cost of the improvements.
The increase in values in those in
stances which were recorded ranged
from 60 per cent to so per cent in
spotsylvania County, Va; from 6S to
1914 ia Dinwiddie County, Va; 20 to 80
in Lee County, Va; 25 TO 100 in Wise
County, Va; Q 10 la in Franklin
County, n. Y; so TO 100 in Dallas
County, Ala; 25 to so in Lauderdale
County Miss; and from so to 100 in
Manatee County, Fla. The estimates
OF increase were based for the most
part upon the territory within a dis
lance OF / mile on each side OF the
roads improved.
In Spotsylvania county careful
record wasvmade in 1910 of SO farms
located on the road selected for i'm
provement. OF the seven farms sold

MINERS ASK ron INVESTIGATION.

The executive board Of the United
Mine Workers Of Ohio. representing
$4,000 wage-earnors in the mining in
dustry, today addressed 10 President
Wilson and Governor Willis Of Ohio a
copy Of a resolution adopted by min
ers' officials demanding that the vari-
Gus branches of the state and Federal
governments conduct an investigation
Of the high cost of living.
The miners officials declare that
the earnings of the wage-earners are
not sufficient to purchase the necessi-
ties Of life for even a small family.
I'VE believe" says the miners reso-
luton, that the high cost of living is
occasioned by unfair and illegal spec
ulatlon in foodstuffs and other neces-
sary commodities, thereby causing ac-
tual hunger and distress in families
where the bread-winner Is steadily
employed"
They ask that the government take
such steps. after investigation. as
"will reduce the cost Of commodities
and place the necessities Of life within
the financial reach OF the wage
Garner"
The resolution is signed by John
Moore, president; Lee Hail, vice pres
ident and G.. w. Savage, secretary and
the executive board members of the
Ohio miners organization

cost Of living, their officials declare

HE ORIGIN OF
 GOLD AND SILVER

Steamboat Springs, Nevada, has figured prominently in discussions ot the origin of ore deposits. The waters Of these spulgs contain the precious metals in minute Quautj- ties. and the sintar deposited by them contain seye-a! minerals that gre coEuou constituents of ores, as well as small quantities of many or the rarer metallic constitu- cuts ol ore deposits. including gold aud silver. Such springs, there fore, .uggest that many and per haps most ore-bearing veins have been formed by hoU waters rising from great depths, which have brought their metal contents up in solution and deposited them in open spaces or fissures iu the rocks through which the waters passed, the deposition of some ores being influenced by chemical reaction with the surrounding rock. Many ore deposits are undoubtedly formed in other ways, for some are unQues- tionably of sedimentary origin and the msLal contents oG some others has been carried down, redeposited, and concentrated by rain water tha. descended illo the earth's crust, but the "nydrothermal' or igin-that is, their deposition from ascending hot wat7v-of many of tho more valuable Gre deposits is indicated by the clCse relation ob- served at many places between mineral veins and erUptiye rocks.
