China's Wall CrumbIins.
(Scientific American.)

An examination of the bricks and
mortar in the great wall of China was
recently made at Shanhaikwan by j.
c. Witt, a chemist attached to the
bureau of science, Manila. Mr., Witt
reports that the bricks are so weak
that pieces may be easily broken off
wit hthe fingers.
They are much larger than ordin-
airy building bricks, gray in color and
resemble pumice somewhat in struct-
ure. The mortar, which is pure white
under the exposed surface. is much
stronger than the bricks The tradi-
ton that the bricks were dried in the
sun only was confirmed by laboratory
tests. If they had been dried in a
kiln the appearance Of the wall would
have been considerably different and
it's strength and durability would
have been much greater. The gen.
eral appearance and analysis of the
mortar indicate that no sand was
mixed with the lime.

AuIbach in Town,

Adam Aulbach, the pioneer publish
er of the Occur d'Alene district came
over from Murray this morning on a
hurried BUSINESS trip, returning this
afternoon. Since retiring from the
newspaper business Mr.. Aulbach has
given his attention to mining on the
North Side and has recently develop
ed a property that seems destined to
create a real sensation when it's nature
has become known. He also owns the

PHILIPSBURG MANGANESE.
Experts Pronounce 1t the Greatest
Deposit in United States.

Earl Greenough, manager of the
Carbonate Hill Giant company, above
Mullan, is also manager of the Mon =
tana Manganese company operating
at Philipsburg. He says that the dis
cCvery of manganese at Philipsburg
has brought a boom to the old camp
such as it has not known since the
old Granite Mountain and Bimetallic,
famous silver producers, We're at their
best over quarter of century ago.
The town is crowded with people and
shacks and tents have been thrown up
to provide Accommodations. An expert
OF the U. S. Steel corporation recently
inspected the manganese mines and
pronounced the deposit the greatest in
the United States The total domes-
tic production of manganese last year
was 10000 long tons, and of this
amount Philipsburg is credited with
$4,000 tons. At the present rate of
production the output at Philipsburg
this year will be 10000 tons. The
government requires about 100000 tons
of manganese a year Under the stress
of war, and the difficulty in getting it
from foreign countries explains the
pressing demand for the domestic
product Mr.. Greenough says his
company is producing from 1900 to
1000 tons per month, but that his
ground is nearing exhaustion.

more valuable than when leased to

ed that there is more than 100000
tons of ore in sight, with
every facility provided for extraction.
There is also a dump Of second class

In addition to all the development
in the original workings, Mr. Bishop
also opened the vein on the west side
of the canyon and has explored it for

promising lead zinc ore shoot all the
way 1t is the opinion of Mr.. Bishop

Douglas Plans.
| 1t Is unfortunate for the district that
the Anaconda company found it de-
sirable to surrender it's lease of the
| Douglas. 1t is one of the greatest
mining organization in the United
States, and its successful operation of
the Douglas would doubtless have been
followed by the acquisition of other
properties on Pine creek or in other
parts of the district. It's withdrawal
from the district is probably due to
the lack of interest on the part of the
county authorities to encourage the
industry upon which all depend by
providing good roads to the mines, and
to the seeming indifference of the o.
w. r. & N. company to the extension
of it's lines in keeping with the re-
quirements of the mining industry

inspected the Douglas last Sunday on
behalf of the Federal company, and
several other large companies have
signified their interest in the property
also. l.. In the meantime the Douglas
company will probably employ few
men extracting ore for shipment. This
can be done very economically, due
to the fine condition in which the
mine was left by the Anaconda COM
pany.

There had been victory but peace
