BIG TUNGSTEN BELT FOUND
Prospecting Following First Develop
ment in California Shows Deposits
Cover Strip Fifteen Miles Long.

The development in recent months
Of tungsten deposits which were first
discovered in California in 1913, has
greatly stimulated prospecting and
tungsten has been found in belt 10
miles long. One of Uncle Sans ex-
perts, who has visited the field, has
found that the ore bodies have some
remarkable characteristics.
TIE deposits are eight miles west
Of Bishop, InyO county, California. On
April Z 1916, the Standard Tungsten
company began work. Trails and roads
were built, ore bodies were opened up,
a mill was erected, and electric power
was brought In. On June Z the mill
began to crush ore. The Tungsten
Mines company started work on May
4, and by the latter part of July had
completed mill of 300 tons daily
capacity. and was rapidly opening it's
main ore body, disclosing a lode as
much as 60 feet wide.
The ore bodies, 1. is found by the
geological survey, are of kind not
mentioned by the recognized author
tiles on ore deposits as commercial
source Of tungsten. The ore consists
Of scheelite associated mainly with
garnet, epidote and quartz. The gen.
eral country rock is granite, but in 1t
ere scattered masses of limestone,
which became mineralized at the time
when the granite cooled from molten
condition. The limestones were al
tered to masses of garnet carrying
subordinate scheelite by the metallic
vapors then given OFF, and these are
the ore bodies now worked.

TOBACCO OUTPUT HUGE
Annual Value of Products Passes
Half Billion Mark.
Uncle Sans Census Figures Show
Gain Of 17.6 Per Cent in Five Years
Capital Of $780,, s4o, 900 In
vested.

The United States is manufacturing
approximately half billion dollars
worth of cigars, cigarettes, chewing
and smoking tobacco and snuff every
year, according to figures compiled by
Uncle Sam. The value of the tobacco
products Of the country in 1914, accord
ing to census figures just made public,
amounted to $500, 165,0O0, and as the
output increased 17.6 per cent in the
tive-year period between 1909 and 1914,
it may be assumed that 1t will be con-
siderably above the half-billion dollar
mark for the present year.
There was in 1914 5000, SAC, 900 capt.
tai invested In the industry, which gave
employment to 210,S94 persons.
While there were big increases In the
nurnber of persons employed in the in
dustry and the value of the output,
there was decrease of 11.6 per cent
in the number of establishments en-
gagged in the manufacture of tobacco
products, and the number of prOprie-
tors and firms engaged in the business
decreased 1873 per cent. The number
of salaried employees increased 27 8
per cent and the number of wage
careers In the industry increased ~
per cent.

KEEP LIGHTS DIMMED
MOTORISTS SHOULD SHOW RE-
GARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
Number of Accidents Caused by Tn.
necessary Glare May Be Materi-
ally Reduced, at Least.

Accidents caused by glaring head
lights are getting more and more COM
mon. One has only TO open his news
paper to read about several of them.
The time for the motorist to act on
this nuisance has come. Glaring head
lights on the country roads are no
longer matter of lack of courtesy or
bad manners. They are a menace to
public safety. Cities have already
passed and are rigidly enforcing laws
on the garing headlight; but almost
nothing is being done about its use
in the country, where it is most dan
gerous of nll. Ordinances covering
the use of overbrilliant lights on the
country roads are going &c come. They
are Oh the way now; but they will al
ways be difficult to enforce. The rem
edy and the only remedy lies in the
hands of the motorists, and for com
mon safety's sake" they should take
matters Into their own hands.
Every motorist has experienced this
or other. Many are guilty Of it them
selves. 1t Is time for these "crirlinally
thoughtless" to take really serious
view of the dagger to which this
thoughtlessaess is subjecting others.
The bright headlight is a necessity in
country driving at night. Its abuse is
n nuisance and criminal carelessness,
for that is the ugly name that the law
calls it. Use your headlights in the
country, by all means. but use them
with n respect for the other fellows
rights, and turn them down when car
approaches you, ana leave item down
until the other car has passed.

SMALL PART OF COST
No Burden in Free Text Books,
Says Uncle Sam.

elared, as to Amount Spent for
This Part Of School Equipment
In the United States.

Cncle Sam does not believe that the
ihtJ oduction of free text books in the
schools would add greatly to the cost
of the public school system or increase
the rate Of taxation for school pur-
poses to any extent. He cites figures
20 show that the cost of text books is
relatively small item in the total
expenditure for school purposes.
Officials of the United States bureau
of education declare that exaggerated
ideas prevail concerning the total
number of text books sold In the Uni
tel States each year. 1t Is said that
confidential data obtained by the
bureau from so textbook publishers,
who handle 90 per cent cf the total
textbook sales Of the country, show
that their aggregate sales annually
of text books for use in public schools,
elementary and high, aggregate about
S15,000,000.
According to figures which have
been compiled by experts of the bu-
reau, the total enrolment in public
elementary and high schools amounts
to about 1S,5O0,0OO. Excluding the
elementary school enrolment of Cali
fornia, since California prints its own
elementary books, the number becomes
1S,250,000. For each child enrolled in
the public schools in the United
States, therefore, the total annual sale
of text books Is about so cents. 1t
has been figured that the total expendi-
ture per child for all school purposes
Is approximately 1851. The cost of
text books is therefore approximately
per cent of the total cost of main
tenance, support aud equipment The
cost per child on the school Ropula-
ton ba'ls-five to eighteen years Of
hge-according to officials of the bu-
reau, is 5G.6 cents; the annual per
c1pita cost OF text books ON the total
population basis is less than Is cents.
