INCREASED GOLD OUTPUT.

In the joint statement given out by
the United States Geological Survey
and the Bureau of the Mint the value
of new gold added to the home supply
from mills and shelters operating on
domestic ores Gncluding those OF
Alaska, the Philippines. aId Porto
Rico) in 1915 was $9S,S91 100. This
shows the substantial increase of $4,.
$4,000 over the output of $9453 800
in 1914, and was within $7S2,300 of
the record production of $99,673, 400
in 1909.
The gold-mining industry was gen
orally prosperous again in 1915, &C.
cording to figures compiled by H. ID.
IMcCaskey, of the United States Geo.
logical Survey, from preliminary re-
ports received from the mines. Es-
Inmates made from these figures
which represent ores sold or treated
during the year, as distinguished from
the metal actually produced, show
that the output was even higher, and
that it Approached, ii it did not actual
ly pass, the $10O,000,00O mark; but
some of the ore and concentrates pro-
duCed from the mines and mills can
not be smelted until 1916, and the re-
fined gold did not become available
for consumption in 1915.
An increase in the yield of gold is
indicated by the mine returns from
every important gold-mining state and
a decrease is reported only from
while the output of Idaho
remains the same. The principal in
creases were nearly $2,50O,000 in Col
OradO. over S1,1OO,0O0 in Alaska, over
100000 in Montana nearly $65O,OOO
in Utah, over S4S0,000 in Nevada, and
over $780, 600 in New Mexico. Smaller
were reported from Oregon,
south Dakota, and Arizona l.
California retained first rank in
1913, with an output OF about $23,OC0,.
100, and was followed by Colorado,
With over $22,OG0,OOO; Alaska, with
lcarly $4,000, GOO; South Dakota, with !
'ver 100000; Montana, with nearly

10000 each.
The year just closed was OF unus-

Is there a satisfactory fluid that can
be inserted into the inner tube (which
will take the place of air7
There are many fluids which have
been inserted in the inner tube to. take
the place Of air, but none of them ,have
come into any extended use, the main
objection having been that they were
not resilient enough or that they crum-
bled under the stress of rough roads.
What 10 the objection found to trans
mission gears built in and receiving the
Same oil as the cylinders? Is there any
great objection to this oil as used in
the crank case as lubricant for the
transmission sears7
The main objection to this is that the
lubricant which is suitable for cylin-
ders is not suitable for gears. Gears
require viscous lubricant which
clings to the surface and provides a
substantial film between the teeth.
The gear wheel must be able to carry
the oil around with it. In the cylinder
the oil requirements are.entirely differ
ent The difficulties of high tempera-
lures must be met with. and, since an
entirely different set Of conditions are
to be faced, the oil will naturally have
to be different If it is to provide ideal
fabrication. Very often makers in the
past have connected the gear set to the
crank case so that the oil in the latter
worked its way to the former. and vice
versa. These makers have gradually
the method, however, as
the oil from the crank case was not
to be ideal for the gear set.
Another great objection to the use of
the interconnected gear set and crank
case is that the car user would often
put heavy oil in the gear box, with the
result that 1t would work its way into
the crank case and cause carbonization
Of the cylinders.

1t is probable that one Of your lamps
