Denver.-The first annual report OF

sion, covering the five months of its
existence, was made to Governor
Carlson and shows marked progress
in the development of the compensa-
ton, insurance and industrial branches
of the commissions activities. Dur
Ing the five months between 5000
and 6,000 accidents were reported
from all parts of the state. Fifty-six
death claims. each calling for month
ly payments aggregating $1,000, were
settled. A total of $50 injury claims
were adjusted, with compensation av
eraging 500.
Twelve industrial disputes were
settled without disorder or loss OF
time to employer or employe. One
disagreement, that of the journeymen
tailors. is now being Investigated.
The commission got work for more
than 100 former strikers by interced
ing with employers.
Prosperity shown by the figures of
the State Compensation Insurance
fund is considered by the commission
to be perhaps the most important fea-
ture of the report.
The fund has a surplus of s16,-

opinion Of the manager, to llquidate
every obligation.

the manufacture of explosives.
The first dividend will be paid to

About two miles northeast from
Superior are the Leucite hills, which
are made up largely of igneous rocks
in the form of volcanic necks, sheets
intruded into the stratified rocks, and
dikes cutting across the sedimentary
strata Associated with these intru-
sive rocks are volcanic cones and
lava flows. These rocks have long
been objects of scientific interest be-
cause of their unusual character.
Lately they have attracted additional
interest by reason of the potash-rich
mineral, leucite, they contain, which.
may some day be utilized If process
can be found for extracting the pot
ash cheaply. 1t has been estimated
that the igneous rocks of the Leucite
hills contain more than $4,000. 100
