as an expert and testified that nearly every
day he took glasses from some Of his pa

had worn glasses for twenty years was so
impressed with the testimony OF this expert
that he decided to treat his own eyes and
see II he could get rid OF his glasses After
a period OF three weeks treatment, much 10

Jerome Victor Extension

Actual work on the Jerome Victor Extension property was started about the middle of May. Since that time, the machinery has been put in shape. and actual development has made good progress. It is the general be- lief that when the shaft has attained few hundred feet of additional depth, commercial ore will be en- countered Notwithstanding Victor's shaft is down to a depth of over 1900 feet, only 160 feet of lateral work was extended on this 1200-foot level indi- eating that even at this depth the property was not thoroughly devel- oped by former owners.
 Owing to the development in the Jerome district during the past year, it is now conceded that the ores of the camp extend downwards to a greater depth than was before re- alized. This is confirmed by the re- port that Clark's United Verde has recently installed machinery, which will permit of the company sinking to depth of 5000 feet. whereas now their deepst level is 1900 feet. This is also confirmed by the strike of large 1 ore bodies at the United Verde EX- | tension the best ore having beer | found so far, being on the 1400foot i level.

Zinc

After the war, when industry re- wives in the Allied Powers and when Belgium and the Central Powers once more enter the worlds markets for zinc and zinc ores, the indications point unmistakably to a famine in the worlds supply of available ores. At the present time almost 90 per cent of the worlds normal output of zinc ores is being marketed After the war it is plain that a very large supply of new zinc ore must be found to meet the swollen requirements of Europe There are a few big zinc mines being developed in Burmah. Siberia, British Columbia, Butte, (Mont), and in the Chloride district, Arizona, as well as in Chihuahua, Mexico. The Occur d Alene district, Idaho, also, is repeating the history of it's rival Broken Hill, Australia, camp in being a lead silver district making great strides in by product zinc production. But, despite new sources of zinc ores after the war (and it must be borne in mind that it will take several years to finance and develop these new properties for pro- duction), on the whole, the sources of new ore fall far short of meeting the new demand.

General Manager Adams, Of the Ray Hercules Copper company, has re- turned to Arizona after q visit to New York for conference with di rectors over mill and mine plans. It has been decided to build q 1,000-tOn mill which will have housing capacity for a Z.006ton plant, so that should later developments warrant, the cor centrating facilities can be at once doubled at a minimum of expense.
 Tke min as now contemplated will cost about S3OO000 Not for IS months or possibly two years does the management expect it to be in op- ers ton.
 The CalloW flotation process will be installed in the mN. ore taken from two drill holes has resulted in a very satisfactory recovery. Tho eXraction from one hole averaged better than 91 Fer cent, while about SS per cent was recovered in the other hole.
 The company has been shipping carbonate ores. the proceeds from which have materially aided in pay ;ne :he cost of development work. While the property could ship 90 tons Of the ore daily al tho present time, the smelters will take but 90 tons A three compartment shaft has been sunk BOO feet and cross cutting will start when the 300-foot level has been reached.

 resulted in a material increase in ore reserves. 34C0000 tons reported last September.

Modern Use For Fossils

The fossil shells of the early inver- tebrates are of great importance to geologists, for they indicate the ge- ologic period in which the rock beds containing them were formed-in oth- CT words, the age of the rock Each fossilferous rock bed contains char acteristic forms or groups of forms that determine the period in which it was mud or sand. Former Director Powell of the United States Geological Survey once tersely explained to a Congressional committee the value of paleontology by saying that it is the geologists clock" by which he tells the time in the worlds history when any rock bed was formed.
 The economic importance of paleon tol0gy has been repeatedly shown in this country. In the earlier eXploita- tion of anthracite coal thousands of dollars were fruitlessly expended in New York in search of coal beds un til the New York geologists showed that the beds in that state could con- York rocks eXploitated are of Devon- ian age, whereas the fossils of the Pennsylvanian anthracite coal beds belong to the Carboniferous, much later period. This discovery at once stopped a useless expenditure of money.
 In times of doubt and perplexity the geologist therefore turns to the pal eontologist for light on the age and original order of the rock beds he is studying. The study of the animal and plant remains that are embedded in the rocks has thus become an inn portant part of geologic work and all though the specialists who are en- gagged in this study are few, their work is of high importance.-Bos Transcript.

Conversational Geology" at Oatman
 Ariz

Under the stress of strong emotion, | I rise to remark: To start with, l shall ! have to disqualify myself as an ''ex- pert" witness: unfortunately I am not | a geologist. and what l know about | the subject is only what the rough and-ready mining engineer picks up by the hard knocks of everyday life. l So. to the brethren of that field of endeavOr. my testimony will be thrown out on the face of it. Howev- CT, in my own defense, let me state that during the last 212 years it has been my good fortune to have all the developments of this district open to my inspection and to have the priv ilege of hearing the ideas of men far higher in the mining field than my self. If my opinion is worth anything. it is due entirely to the advantages which have been so kindly thrown in my way.
 Under the head of careful obser-
 vation." a rehash of old reports and government bulletins has been handed out to the public by writers on the
 Oatman district, until it would seem that the authors of those original pub lications must live in one long hid eous nightmare
 Mr. Schrader seems to have started the ball rolling when he described green chloritic andesite, an older an- desite. and adularia in connection with this district-possibly a few other
 things in the rock line, too, but those
 are the faVorites among the present. | day writers. MT. Schrader is man | for whom I have the greatest respect. l Under the conditions of his visit to
 this country he had but a short time to spend in this immediate district. and at that time there were practical ly no developments in the district of any note. His conclusions are well
 drawn when one considers the devel- opments then.
 If the conversational geologists
 would confine themselves to the
 statements actually made by MT
 Schrader. they would not go far
 astray. But when they make obser-
 vations by travelling in or out of the
 camp by automobile and without ever
 having gone through a real mine in
 the district they come out with
 statements which, to say the least
 are slightly misleading-a MT
 Schrader gets the blame but not the credit
 To start with. there is not posi- lively known instance, with one ex- ception, where the valuable oreshoots do not come at least within 100 1t. oi surface The Gold Road mine has stoped to surface and so has the Tom I Reed Out of four oreshOOtS in the district personally known to me. two come to surface with commercial ore one has been proved within 100 it of the surface and may come higher; the fourth is the exception and only came to the 250-ft. level No other preshoots in the district have beer | proved enough to know how close tt 1 surface they extend. There is un | doubtedly a capping over some of thu important veins in the district, ant | we would hardly expect to find thu ore coming through this capping, bu | | it's very occurrence seems to hay, | slipped over the heads of the write | artists.
 Why all the worry about "greei
 chloritic andesites' and older ande sites" and whether there is any or in one or the other? I will defy an, man alive to prove the difference il
