SEARCHING FOR COAL.
The Explorations Are Being Conducted
in Eastern Idaho.

In response to numerous requests o
residents of Idaho an examination o
certain reported coal fields in the eastern
part of the state was made last summer
| by a geologist of the United States geo
logical survey, department of the inte
| ior, in order that any coal land present
| in this part of the state might be classi
field and thus made available for loca
mining, so as to relieve the high prices
and threatened scarcity of fuel This
work has just been completed, and the
results are not at all encouraging Sc
far as the development OF a local supply
is concerned.
The areas examined fall within four

low Creek, on John Gray's outlet, and
IN the Fall Creek basin; ~ the Pine
Creek district, including the region be-
tween the head of Pine Greek on the
northwest and Palisade Creek on the
southeast and also Burns Capon; 81 the
Teton Basin, including the valleys Of
Horseshoe Mahogany, Patterson, and Trail
creeks; "a the Continental Divide dis
trict, in T. Ia n, Rs 3s and 40 f.
In the first two of these districts coaly
shale with some impure coal is present
in beds ranging in thickness from few
inches TO four or five feet As rule the
coaly portions of these beds are not per-
sistent, but wedge in and out. Jumps
of disable coal may be obtained here and
there, but commercial development is i'm
The rock formation in which
these coal beds occur is not the one in
which the active mines OF western Wyo-
ming are located
The only productive part of the Teton
Basin is the Horseshoe district. Though
in this district are such that
large scale development is impracticable,
work now in progress will probably make
possible a somewhat greater yield than
that of last season There is little chance
that workable coal beds will be discov-
ered elsewhere in the basin. During the
of the Teton Basin sew
sral reported indications Of oil were in
festigated, but these do not indicate the
presence of oil in paying quantities.

tances occur that are commonly mis-

DECREASE IN WHITE LEAD OUTPUT
Increased Cost of Lead Results in Cur
tailment of Pigment.

The United States geological survey
department of the interior, has completed
the statistics of white lead production in
1916. The output of dry white lead was
32,93S short tons worth $4,7I4,343 as
compared to 33,907 tons worth $3,5l3,S5e
in 1915 The production of white lead
which was ground in oil, was 96,041 tons
worth Sl6,560l37 as against l22, 1914 tons
worth Sl5,S79,s35 in the previous year
The total output of white lead thus
showed loss of 81 ,l22 tons or over II
per cent in quantity, but gain of ST.
ss0,7s9 or nearly 10 per cent in value.
The annual report of one of the largest
white lead producers says:
"The tonnage of white lead sold was
the lowest in many years, due in part
perhaps to the activity of competitors
but chiefly to the checking of consump-
ton by the high prices not only of white
lead but of linseed oil and everything
entering into the cost of painting, includ-
ing wages"
