Yesterdays contest was strictly
pitchers battle between Kendrick of
c. T. and Gill of Holy Cross. Both
men worked in splendid form, though
Gill struck out the most men. Eleven
of the c. u. players bit the dust be-
cause of their inability to land on the
ball at all, while only six Holy Cross
men went down that way. Duffy
topped the Brook1and batters and Ma
loney did the best hitting for the vis
itors. Holy Cross tied up the score in
the ninth, but after that did not have
chance to count. c. U. got men on
in the thirteenth and fourteenth, but
could not get them over the plate.

state are closed, and the few larger mines
that remain in operation are producing
at rate representing only 25 TO so per
cent OF their capacity.
In the state of Washington only two
companies are operating, but they have
spent large sums of money during the
last two years in developing quarries and
building plants and are now able to pro-
duce raw and calcined msgnesite in large
quantities. Each company can now turn
ont more than 10000 tons of raw magne-
site month. The Northwest Magnesite
Co. is making several thousand tons of
ferromagnesite a month in large plant
which il has erected at Chewelah, 60
miles north of Spokane. The plant in
long. which are fired with pulverized coal
cludes five rotary kilns, each l20 feet
The machinery is driven by electricity
furnished by the Stevens County Power
& Light Co, Two 800 horsepower gas
engines, together generating 400 horse
power, have been installed at the plant
for additional power The American
Mineral Production Co ships several
thousand tons of raw magnesite month
from Valley to Irwin, eight miles east of
Spokane, where ii Is converted into terro-
magnesite in the plant of the Interna-
tional Portland Cement Co. It is re-
ported that the output of ferromagnesite
from this plant in October, 1918, was
about $50 tons daily.
Practically all the magnesite produced
in Washington goes in the dead burned
form TO steel plants and 10 msnufactur-
ers of refractory products east Of the
Mississippi. Manufacturers of magne
site stucco and composition flooring use
California magnesite and are now having
some difficulty in obtaining an adequate
quantity of material OF the quality they
desire, although their total requirements
can easily be supplied by one mine of
moderate capacity, It is suggested that
the use of crystalline magnesite for max
ing Sorel cement might be made the sub
ject of further experiments.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-12-28

Washington %, 600 23,500 $4,000 90500
California $4,000 $4,000 $500 $500
The combined output of these two
states in the fourth quarter will be about
$1,000 tons, making the total for the
year about 225,000 tons. This is large
decrease about 80 per cent--from the
output of 1917, when California produced
2ll 900 tons, and Washington, 10000
tons.
California magnesite was in large de-
mand in the eastern states in 1917 for
use as refractory material, especially in
making steel, but combination Of cir
cumstances has greatly lessened the de-
mand in 1918. In the first place crystal
line magnesite from Washington, which
is accounted superior to California mag
nestle as refractory material, was sent
to the market in increasingly large guam
titles in 1917 and its output was main
tanned in 1918; second an increase in
freight rates and shortage of cars re-
duced the demand and hindered deliv-
cries; third, dead burned dolomite was
with fair success substituted for magne-
site for making refractory products in
the eastern states The nationwide re-
striction of building operations has re-
dueed the use of California magnesite in
wall plaster, stucco, flooring and like
plastic material, and dolomite is being
substituted for California magnesite in
the manufacture of paper on the Pacific
coast.
Two California mines, the White Rock
mine, in Napa county, and the mine of
the Refractory Magnesite Co. in Sonoma
county, yield product that contains
more iron than other California mag
nestle and that is dead-burned and sold
as grain magnesite and brick for use
as refractory material by steel manu-
facturers in the western states. These
two mines, which have been steadily
producing this material and will prob
ably continue to do so, are now making
large part of the total output of the
state, All the very small mines in the
