R0AD INVESTMENT |S PERMANENTLY USEFUL

Investing money in the proper loca- tion. grading and drainage of roads is about the most permanently useful ex- penditure of public funds that can be made. Usually court houses are con sidered typical of such an investment, but well located road Is serviceable for far longer period The court house is Outgrown at the end of a quarter century; If it continues in use longer it must be remodeled and the public officials in it clamor for bet ter quarters. But a road lai dout on proper lines and grades serves the pub lie forever and on that account it's To- cation should be made by a competent engineer. Furthermore, even the local roads should be laid out with the same care, so that as the country develops they will improve with it and not re- quire expensive purchases for new rights of way. Foresight in such mat ters will have valuable results within a comparatively few years in a country growing as fast as the United States.

Discovery of Lapis Lazuli

OiSCoVery or LaplS LdZuit
 A unique and important discovery has just been made of lapis laZuli, or lazurite, about 100 miles west of Fl Paso, over the Fl Paso Southwestern railroad, in the northwestern part of Tres Hermanas (Three Sisters) moun- tains, twelve miles northwest of Co., lumbus, in southern New Mexico. This is practically the first discovery of this rare and precious stone in quantity ever made in the United States, as only small deposits have been found in one other place in California. In this newly discovered vein there is believed to be an ineXhaustible quantity of it, which can be mined from the very surface.
 The discovery was made by w. J. Holmes, a mining man of Fl Paso, who, while operating a zinc mine in these mountains, chanced to notice some specimens in the cabin of an old negro prospector Holmes. who had lived in San Francisco and had seen the lazurte rock in the famous lapidary of Kincaid that came from Russia, some twenty years ago. instantly rec ognized it and began prospecting for the vein, which he finally discovered last week.
 The vein occurs in a Assure in gran ite, having a northwest-s southeast strike, showing on the surface width of l to feet and a strong outcrop of over 1000 feet in length. Along the surface of the claim are large boulders of the rock scattered around some of them weighing half a ton each. alf of which are colored and banded or seam ed with a beautiful blue color. Samples of the rock have been tested in the local assay offices and laboratories, and others have been polished. with the result that the rock is pronounced to be lapis laZuli. A claim has been To- cated by MT. Holmes, Claude A. Brown. and Fred F.. Cunningham of Fl Paso or the vein, which is named the Lapis- Lazuh Ultramarine mine. The owners are arranging to start development work at once.

Leachinq Copper

At the Nevada Douglas plant somewhat new idea has been inaugu- rated in the way of hydromentallurgy The original intention was to treat ores by the use of sulphuric acid as a teaching solvent. making the sulphuric acid from the gases obtained by roast ing the sulphide. During experiments however, it was found that the gases conducted directly from the furnaces into the teaching tanks proved to be a better solvent than sulphuric acid. be- sides saving time and expense. To manufacture sulphuric acid would cost from S6 to SIP per ton. Using the gases in place of the acid saves this ex- pense. The gases are much more dif- ficult to confine than the sulphuric acid solution and some trouble was at first encountered by leaking tanks, but the fault has now been remedied.

Referring to Ray Hercules. a con- seryative estimate places the tonnage at upward of 10000 000 on an average of ? 1-2 per cent or better in the Ray Hercules. Considerable native copper has been encountered in the shaft at depth of approximately CTS feet and sinking is progressing rapidly at the rate of about five feet per day. Three churn drills are working. The direct ors do not give out any official figures but have ordered equipment for 2O0-ton mill instead of 1000 as origi- nally intended. and expect to be pro- ducing copper within year.

Profits approximating 5.650,000 will have accrued to Miami Copper Co. from operations during the first nine months of this year-estimating Sep tember. This will be equal to S7 per share, or more than sufficient to meet a full years dividend requirements at the current S6 rate. Surplus amounts to about 5000. 900. which will have been augmented materially by the time the November payment of sl.50 per share falls due Profits for the six months ended June 90 totaled $3,499.- 000. It is estimated that profits for the third quarter will approximate g.. .l5O.- coo. or 66 per cent of the net for the first six months. Miami has sold it. self well ahead at high prices. AL though not participating in the big copper sale, Miami has effected sales through the early months of 1917 at prices equalling and in some instances higher than. the average to be paid on the big export contract.
