JUDGMENTS 1T N|NERA[OGY

That tho rudiments of mineralogy can be taught in three days will be demonstrated at the Phoenix high school auditorium, beginning Janu- arN 3l, when George R. Fansett, rock analyst of the state bureau of mines, will give a series of lectures.
 The method is simple. it is said and while proficiency must necessar- fly come only with practice. the fun damental work may be seen, tried and learned in this remarkably short time, it is declared No knowledge of chemistry nor expensive equipment Is required.
 The prospector is taught to make about a dozen simple tests A special text is provided which gives in tab ulated form these tests, the phenom- ena to be noted and lists of the min erals answering to these various phenomena.
 After the tests are all made. there will be found to be probably only one mineral which answers to all the tests and appears in all lists. Then by re- ferring to that mineral in another part of the text the observations can De verified
 It is seldom that a test will take over flIteen minutes ana the outfit merely consists of blowpipe, candle piece of charcoal. a piece of platinum wire and d few fluxes which may be obtained at the gro- ccry or drug store.
 The work is interesting and the pupil will be taught by doing it and by seeing it done. Moving pictures will occupy a part of the evening.
 The text which Is sold for the exact cost of printing is put out as bulletin Al. Mineralogy of Useful Minerals of Arizona, and can be ob- tained in advance by sending fifteen cents to Charles F. Willis, Director, State Bureau of Mines, Tucson, Ari- zona.

 VIENNA. sunday. Jan. 20. (via Am sterdam 10 London. Jan. 21.)-"It is his majesty's wish to end the war at the soonest moment possible by an honor able peace. In pursuance of his desire and on the principles it repeatedly has announced, the government of the dual monarchy has done everything in it's power and will continue to do every thing possible, to bring about most speedily a general peace If for the present, however. only a separate peact with Russia is practicable, the respon- sibnty rests solely with the entente powers. which have repected repeatedly aur peace offers"
 These striking statements were made today by Dr. Von Seydler. the Austrian prime minister, in the course of speech at an important conference be- tween tlc government and labor lead CTS in the minister's room in parlia- mcnt house,
 After announcing that the present serious time demanded harmony in labor circles and a clear and sincere discussion of all problems. the premier made his announcement on peace. Aft erward he proceeded to disavow any aims at conquest and declared the gov crnmcnt continued it's adherence to the belief that international agreement re- garding disarmament and arbitration court could form a suitable basis or general peace.
 The premier insisted that, as far as Austria Was concerned, the negotia- tions with Russia should not be ship wrecked on projects of territorial ac- VIsiton. The government, he added, regarded Poland as an independent state with independent relations with the monarchy, although, of course" he continued, we shall preserve the constitutional infiueqce of the legis- lative bodies of both states of the monarchy in this settlement"

 Dr. Mehring proceeded to reprove the Prussian finance minister, Dr. Hertz. for such contempt. which hs declared. was likely to bring heavy penalties in it's train. especially if coupled with empty threats

of the Alma schools at an average cost of 37.03 per pupil for the term closing 1914. 3565 for that closing 1915, 36.66 for that closing 1916, and 36.S9 for that closing June 30th, 1917, is remarkable.
 The discrepancy between the ac- counts of the district and those of the county school superintendent are due to the fact that there were some out standing vouchers not taken into con sideration with the opening of the books at June 30th, 1913, and also for other causes that are explained and exhibited elsewhere in the report. I thank you kindly for the privilege of serving you in this manner.

Zinc and Its Uses.

ZINC is little thought Of as war
metal. yet 1t is essential in the pros.
ecution Of the great conflict. Soon
after the outbreak Of the war the
munitIon makers in the United States
were embarrassed by the scarcity and
high cost Of this metal. which before
the war had been plentiful and cheap.
Hurry-up efforts were made to erect
new smelters to supply the extraordi-
nary demands. When the war was
only one year old. that is in 1915. one
of the munition contractors wrote:
Brass 10 and must be IS per cent zinc spelter

the sheet brass manufacturers Of the country:
who are centered in the Naugatuck valley.
Conn. signed contracts with all the munitkOu
makers At prices in which the cost Of }inc
piets stcppase Of the Belgian supply has
caused the price Of speiter to jump to $3.50
ton.
The great zinc-produclng fields Of
the United States are the Joplin.
Carthage and Webb City fields in Mis-
souri,. and the fields ineArkansas. Col-

sey and Idaho have become large
zinc finds Its main uses in galvan-
izing iron and in making that VAL
liable alloy, brass. In galvanizing
iron sheets they are given b bath In
molten zinc. The coat of zinc taken
on by the iron protects It against
corrosion. Zinc is used in making
other alloys than brass. principal
among them being Muntz-metal, pinch
beck and tombac, names familiar to.
men In the metal trades but unfamiliar
to the great mass Of people. Zinc
has been known in the world Us q
useful metal since remote times and
there are references in the writings
of Aristotle and Pliny to substance
which modern metaliurgists have mo
trouble In Identifying as zinc. Pliny
wrote of brass as "aurichalum" and
knew that q substance, which he
called "cadmia." converted copper
into brass. Zinc oxide is used in the
manufacture of paint and zinc chlo-
ride Is strong caustic and finds
place In many ointments.
