Alder DYE,

For the purpose of making dyes the
common alder appears to have been
unnoticed by the pioneers of this coun-
try, who made use Of so many barks
and roots. However. 1t was well
known to the Indians, who used it to
good effect. It dyes reddish color.
and down to few years ago was en-
ployed by natives Of the northwest
Pacific coast in coloring their fish nets.
Alder dye, used for the same purpose,
is said to be the Oldest recorded dye in
the world. It Is mentioned in the
Kalevala Of Finland, supposed to date
nearly 5000 years ago.

FREAK TREES.


Asavy snowstorms Often Cause Bent
and Twisted Trunks.
To the person who is not versed in
forest lore the grotesquely bent tree
trunks that are to be found in almost
all woods are mystifying. and wonder
is often aroused as to the cause.
Foresters will tell questioners that in
the case of trees In mountainous coun-
try and other sections where the snow
fall is heavy the weight of snow is re.
sponsible in most instances for tho
queer twists they assume.
When tree Is young the weight of
snow that falls on its branches often
bends the trunk over until it Is fiat
tened to the ground. Sometimes it is
buried under six or eight feet Of snow
and held in that position so long that
when warm weather comes the tree
fails to spring back into its normal po.
sitiOn.
The summer sun causes the tip Of
the young tree to turn upward, and If
it manages to withstand the weight of
the snow of the next winter that por-
tion Of the tree will, as general rule.
continue to grow in normal way.
"Hairpin" bends and other odd shapes
result.
A curious tree stands on the top of
Tunnel hill, Johnstown, Pa, about four
miles from town. It is a sugar maple

Demand for Tungsten---Price Has
Advanced About 400 per cent.
brooklyn Eagle)

Other uses to which tungsten has
been put are in the making of magne-
tos, permanent magnets, speed indi-
Gators, etc, car springs, sounding
plates and wires for musical instru-
ments, in bronze powder. pigments for
paint, in Roentgen rays apparatus In
coloring glass, In the preparation of
salts, for making colored cotton goods
fast" or washable, and to render the
cloth nom nflammable.
Tungsten ore is found in the Unit
ed States, in Canada, In South Amer
lea, In Europe, in Asia, and in Aus
tralia. The foreign output of tungsten
ore is practically in the control of the
Germans, and since the beginning of
the war there have been no imports
into the United States save some in
significant quantities brought in from
South America. Conditions, therefore,
make the United States today the CEN
ter of production of tungsten ores, Of
which there is at present an acute
shortage.
Sharp Advance in Price.
! The price has risen from $3.50 per
ton in 1900 to $S40 In 1907, to $1,000
per ton at present for go per cent con-
centrates, the accepted standard.
/, The increased use and new applica-
bility of the metal Is straining the
output tremendously, and as a result
has stimulated the industry to con-
siderable extent. The production Of
tungsten ores carrying so per cent
tungsten trioxide during 1915, accord
/ ing to the department of the interior,
was valued at about 100000, these
figures being placed on the prelimin-
Iary report of the United States geolog-
ical survey. Notwithstanding this
apparently large amount the available
sources of supply are not large The
bulk Of the output in this country
coming from the Boulder field of Col
orado and the vicinity of the Mojave
desert of California.
The Mojaye Tungsten company has
a group of tungsten claims situated
in the Mojave desert and is mining
a high grade of wolframite ore.
Recent reports state that on the
100-foot level east of the No. shaft
a wide vein has been located, running
30 per cent tungstic acid This ore
fetches over $ll00 in its unconcentrat-
ed form, sacked just as it comes from
the property. Sixty per cent concen-
trates bring over $4,000 per ton.
Such Is the scarcity that buyers
throughout the country are idvertis-
ing, eagerly bidding for tungsten, and
with the many new uses found for the
metal, it is quite likely that this rare
product will rapidly advance far be-
yond even its present unheard of
price.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-04-20

Not many years have passed since
tungsten (Which means in Swedish
heavy stone') was considered a rare
mineral. 1t was often mistaken for
tin ore, until the mistake was cleared
up by. Cronsted.
In the year 1881 the illustrious
Swedish chemist. Schelle. showed that
the mineral scheelite, so named after
him, contained lime as a base and
peculiar acid which was recognized in
the same year by Bergman as me-
tallic compound which proved to be
tungsten tri-oxide
The three tungsten minerals OF
commercial Importance are wolfram
tie, hubnerite and scheelite, Wolfram
lite being of the most Importance. The
worlds output of wolframite for the
year 1912 was 9115 tons.
Tungsten as metal has found its
way into the industries until today 1t
stands as an Indispensable product In
the manufacture of high speed steel
and armor plates. Though tungsten
has high melting point (2S00 degrees
CO, 1t is readily taken up by steel and
forms hard, compact alloy which is
employed in self hardening tools,
which are not impaired by heat and
as consequence may be driven much
faster than carbon steel when used as
cutting tools. Another property of
tungsten steel Is that of it's being able
to take a higher degree of magnetiza-
ton than other steels. it ressts atmo-
Sphere corrosion, damascenes finely
and withstands the effect of sea water
to a remarkable degree.
Necessary to Harden Steel.
1t has been found that steel con-
taining 5-6 per cent of tungsten Is
very hard and tenacious, but is work.
able, and that 10-12 per cent makes an
alloy SO hard that it is impossible to
work on lathe and, therefore, must
be either ground or forged.
One of the first commercial uses for
the application of tungsten In large
quantities was in the manufacture of
incandescent lamps, which have prob
ably replaced all other types of
lamps. 1t was found that the metal
could be drawn out to an extremely
high degree of fineness while still re-
tanning its pllability and strength.
Although when used in lamps 1t pro-
duces stronger Illumination at the
same time it effects big economy in
electric current
Other uses are in the manufacture
Of electrical goods 1t being used as a
substitute for platinum and platinum
iridium as contact points and spark
coils, voltage regulators, in telegraph
instruments, etc, effeeting a tremend-
GUS economy
Tungsten Has Wide Range of Usage.

THE .dARiNEs.
Will Do the Fighting on Land-op-
posed to the canteen.

po6eo TO tne Canteeus
Admiral Benson, Of the naval advis-
DRY board. has recommended to the
house committee on naval affairs that
legislation be enacted prohibiting the
blue jackets from participating in
fighting ashore, as at Vera Cruz and
Hayti.
The United States marine alone
should take care of all land operations
In the admiral's opinion, for the Off
GERS and men of the marine corps
have been well trained for the duty
and thoroughly understand how to
take care of themselves under fire.
The legislation, II enacted, will not
prevent sailors from participating in
land operations at times of extreme
necessity.
At debate held by members of the
United States marine corps on duty
in Haiti, 81 voted for and ii voted
against a resolution that, aside from
the personal liberty Issue involved
the adjustment of the canteen was Q
splendid thing, and we members of the
United States marine corps, on duty
at Gonaives, are solidly against any
movement looking to it's restoration"
The marines at Gonaives say they
are not more temperate or abstemious
than other U. S. marines serving over
the world.

Ontario win soon be producing more
gold than silver In 1915 the silver
output, mostly from the Cobalt dis
trict, was worth. $12,200,000; in the
same period gold was produced, chief
ly from Porcupine, to the value of
$S,386,956. The Hollnger is now one
of the great gold mines of the contin-
ent, last year it yielded $3,000,000, of
which $1,560,000 was paid in divi-
dends, which represents 50 per cent on
the capital of the company. The Dome
has improved in gratifying manner
so that largely increased production
is assured. In the Kirkland Lake dis
trict, which was wildly boosted three
years ago, the real work of develop
ment has been rewarded, so that,
among others, the Tough Cakes mine
has become a sound enterprise. AL
together this province of Canada is
proving itself a splendid mining re-
gion, for to the precious metals must
be added nickel mining at Sudbury,
responsible for an annual output of
$10,000,000 in nickel and copper.

ANOTHER LOST NINE

AS USUAL WEIRD FASCINATION
ATTACHES TO HIDDEN MIN

Stories of lost mines, like similar
stories of buried treasure seem to
have kind of fascination connected
with them, and generally attract at
the matter are vague. The Herald, of
Baker, Ore, tells of hunt for such
& property which is just starting as
follows:
A journey which will have as it's OBJ

Inne. known in Oregon legend as the
richest gold prospect ever staked out
in the northwest, will be undertaken
as soon as the roads permit, by j. w
Buckley and K. C. Harphan, who be-
lieve they have discovered the loca-
tion sought in vain by prospectors for
more than so years.
Story of Discovery.
According to tradition, the digg'ngs
are somewhere in the Prineville coun-
try and were worked by a party If
immigrants in 1S49. Virgin gold 50
rich it could be beaten into ornament;
without any preliminary recovery lro-
cess, MAS aiken out in buckets, but
after a short stay the pioneers, as the
story goes were driven out by Indians
Making their way to California, they
told of their find and returning to
Oregon attempted to relocate it but to
no purpose. The mine has ever since
remained in the dim background of
early pioneer lore.
The place found by Mr. Buckley and
Mra Harphan, Mr. Buckley said last
night tallies well with the descrip-
ton furnishedsby a legend According
to the story a woman of the party
died and was buried before the immi-
grants left the spot and the Baker men
found a rude headstone on neglect
ed grave, bearing the inscription
MARY E.--, 1849."
Almost inaccessible.
Further fixing the date were two
old linchpin wagons of the type used
by the early settlers who crossed the
plains, and so Ole wore they, that trees
had grown through the spokes and
even through the wagon beds Ar an
eient pick was founG, it's handle warp
ed almost to a semicircle and a dill
apidated cabin bore the same marks
of age eharacterizing the wagons.
Sluice boxes much the worse for wear
were noted, and a frying pan, hand
made from piece of sheet steel, was
brought back. They made no search
at the time for the gold bearing ledge.
Mr. Buckley described the country
as highly inaccessible, but would give
no idea even as to the approximate
location of the old mining camp. The
discovery was made late in November
but has been kept quiet until the find
ers are now ready to start back.
