Three shafts In the Prizbram silver
mines. in Austria, have reached
: depths of about $500 feet. The victo-
ria Quartz mine at Bendigo, Australia,
7 Is sSa0 feet deep A number OF shafts
In the Transvaal gold region of South
Africa have been sunk to depths OF
about +eoo feet.
Limits 10 Depths OF Mines and Wells
The 6enth TO which a mining shaft
can be sunk is limited by the heat Of
the rocks. as the temperature at a
depth OF a mile in nearly all parts of
the earth is so high that workmen can
not live in IT., even with ventilation.
The depth to which a weu inches IN
diameter can be drilled seems TO de-
pend chiefly on skin in drilling and
strength of cable. The cable itself is
heavy, and besides carrying its own
weight and the weight of the drill.
which weighs one or two tons, it must
bear strains produced by vertical
movements of the drill, which may be
so great as to break it at any moment,
so that the drill and part of the ca
BILE may be lodged in the well in such
way that they can not he removed.
Exceptional skill is required, there
forein operating the ponderous ma
chinery used in drilling well. The
drill. which is a column of steel about
five inches in diameter and 40 or so
feet longg. beveled to V-shaped
edge at the lower end, is attached to
one end of tho cable, and at some 9TH
er point, determined by the driller,
the cable is attached to n long beam,
which is operated in the same man
ner as the walking beam of steam
boat. Merely to lift the drill through
the height determined by the swing
of the end of the walking beam and
TO let it drop repeatedly would do no
drilling. In order to drill, oscilla-
tons must he induced in the cable,
such as those set up by attaching a
light weight to a suspended rubber
band. A slight oscillation properly
induced by the finger at the upper
end Of the rubber band will produce
very large oscillation of the weight

shell of the earth, which is about two
and one-half times as heavy as water,
extends to a depth of less than 1000
miles. Inside of this shell is some
material, probably metallic, which is
more than times as heavy as water
Estimates of the temperature at the
center of nuclues ranges from 1000
degrees to 10000 degrees F., but
these figures have little or no value,
for mathematician have not yet
found the law of the distribution of
temperature from the surface to the
center of the earth. The temperature
evidently increases with depth, a fact
again confirmed by an elaborate
sesries of observations of temperature
made in each of the three deep
wells, the Geary, the Goff, and the
Lake, by c. e. Van Orstand, OF the

well, the. ]. H. Lake, of the Hope
Natural Gas Co, is about miles
southeast of Fairmont, w. Va. 1t is
about 20 miles north of the Goff well
and about so miles south of the Geary

Four Deepest Wells in The World.
Named in the order of depth, the
four deepest weels in the world are
the Lake, 1873 feet; the Goff, 1886; a
well at zzuchow, Germany 734s; and
the Geary. 724S. The two deepest
wells in the world are therefore the
Lake and the Goff. the Lake surpass-
ing the German well by the large mar
gin of 2S1 feet. In comparison with
these great depths. other depths
reached by wells or mines sunk in the
crust of the earth are rather insig-
nificant. The deepest mine in the
world is shaft n. 3 of the Tamarack
mine. in Houghton County, Mich.
which has reached depth of $500
feet Other shafts of the Tamarack
Co. and of the Calumet & Hecla mine.
in the Lake Superior region, reach
depths between 1000 and 5000 feet.

Some Interesting Results of Deep
Drilling.
The strata of lime, slate and sand

originally sediments deposited from
ocean water. A bed of ocean water
was actually found in the Geary well
at a depth of $3.50 feet. DR.. I. c.

Two Deepest Wells In the World Are
in the United States.
During the last few years the Hope
Natural Gas Co. and the Peoples Nat
nrai Gas Co, both Of Pittsburgh, Pa.
have been drilling deep wells in
northern West Virginia and south
western Pennsylvania to- find deeper
oil-bearing and gas-bearing sands.
their object being TO reach, IL possible
the horizon of the rich Clinton sand
of Ohio. which, according to DIR. I. c.
White. the state geologist of West Vir-
ginia. should be found in this region
at depths between 1000 and 5000
feet.
Drilling for Deep Oil and Gas.
The first exceptionally deep well
thus drilled, the r. A. Geary well, of
the Peoples Natural Gas Co. is about
four miles northwest of Mcdonald,
Pa, and about 90 miles southwest of
Pittsburgh. The mouth of the well is
about 1850 feet above sea. level The
well penetrates the Gordon stray sand
the last of the usual gas sands in this
region. at a depth of 1871 feet From
this point to depth of $500 feet the
strata penetrated are alternately

feet to the bottom, 724s feet, they are

about 60 feet of rock salt. The sec
ond deep well was drilled by the
Hope Natural Gas Co. on the farm

OF Clarkshurg in northern West

ths water is fossil ocean, imprison-
eo since mid-Palezoic time. Inter-
esting evidence in regard to the geo.
logic history of the formations was
obtained by Charles Butts. of the
United States Geological Survey. who
identified a number of fossils from
depths of 1887 to 1855 feet in the
Goff well. The material from the
Lake well has not yet been fully ex-
amined. 1t way be possible by ex-
amining the fossils TO determine the
geologic ages and horizons of tho
beds penetrated and so to estimate
the depth at which the Clinton sand
should lie beneath the bottom of this
well. The we'll probably does not
pass through more than one-half the
total thickness Of sediments in this re-
gion.

Austin, Texas. October 8, 1919.
Mr.. F. X. Mitchell, Fire Marsha,
Lubbock, Texas.
Dear Sir:
We have your report on the origi-
nal list Of hazards sent you on Sep
tember 20th, and note that some Of
them have been corrected while quite
good many remain the same. We
especially note that some of the con-
ditions reported not corrected are not
necessary to the conduct Of any bus
mess. that they are in violation OF the
Fire Marshal Ordinance, and there
fore If not removed, the party should
be brought into Police Court and
have fines assessed. We beg to in
quire what action you take with ref
erence to conditions of this character,
where your orders for correction are
not obeyed7 IL will be absolutely
necessary for you to take action in
some Of the cases you mention. II
Lubbock is to retain the credit which
II now enjoys in key rating. Excess
sve and dangerous accumulations Of
combustible material in and outside
of buildings, and dangerous metal
flues are within the provisions of
your Ordinance. and this office is
depending upon you to enforce the
ordinance to the extent of having
these accumulations removed and
these flues repaired.
We have sent to each of the oc-
cupants or owners a "follow-up" let
ter direct, and we believe if you will
again call on them you will be able
to get conditions corrected in most
cases, but II you do not, then II is
your duty to Immediately file COM
plants and ask the Police Judge to
assess adequate fines.
Very truly yours,
S. II. INGLISH,
State Fire Marshal.

SUFFER LOSSES BECAUSE OF
FAILURE TO PROTECT BALES

Another illustration Of the enor-
nous losses suffered by Arkansas cot
ton interests through failure 10 shell
ter cotton after il has been ginned
i cited by d. G. Welty, agricultural
commissioner Of the Missouri Pacific
railroad He tells Of the case Of a
planter near Morrilton, Ark. who
suffered a loss Of more than $1,000
on 2s bales Of cotton simply because
he would not take the trouble to she's
ter the cotton from the elements.
The 28 bales, all owned by one
planter. were brought to the COM
press at Morrilton last week. accord
ing TO Mr.. Welty. After the cotton
had been ginned, the owner had al
lowed the bales to lie out on the
ground, exposed to the elements
When they were brought TO the com
press every bale Of the 28 had suf-
fered loss which ranged from 80
pounds TO 4l0 pounds per bale. The
four bales that had been damaged
worst had averaged $50 pounds at
the gin, making the total weight Of
the four bales -,0s0 pounds. When
these four bales were reconditioned,
which included removing the cotton
that had rotted one weighed 1870
pounds. second 1870, third 100 and
the fourth had left but ll0 pounds
The total weight of the four bales af-
ter they had been reconditioned was
but 600 pounds. making an actual
loss or rather waste Of ,4S0 pounds
on the four bales.
The other "a bales Of the shipment
lost from 40 to $50 pounds each,
making an additional loss of at least
ton Of cotton.
I'm these days Of high-priced liv-
ing. one Of the most serious and un-
warranted wastes is that which re-
suits from weather damage due to
the careless handling Of cotton" says
Mr.. Welty.

According to the above letter re-
ceived by our fire marshal from the
State Fire Marshal is self explnna-
tory, except that il merely deals with
the Marshal's duty in the matter.
The State Insurance Commission is
also watching the situation and If
these corrections are not made with
in reasonable time this commission
will raise the key rate in Lubbock
which will effect all the property
of the city, and will work great
hardship on the property owners Of
the city It will mean an increased
rate of insurance that will amount to
a large sum Of money within a years
time, and we cannot afford TO run
the risk Of this increase by merely
being contrary or negligent in the
matter Of removing some Of the haz-
ards connected with our business
houses, shops, etc.
Some of these hazards are mem
toned in the Fire Marshal's letter,
but another that confronts the prop
erty owners Of Lubbock, is the i'm
mense accumulation Of weeds on
many Of the lots and right up against
some Of our business houses.
II is greatly to the interest Of ev-
cry property owner in Lubbock to see
that the premises are cleaned up.
The weeds cut and all other neces-
sary cleaning that the town needs in
order that we may retain our present
key rate and il possible get ii reduc-
ed, which could be done If every
property owner would keep the haz-
ards far removed from the property
all over the city.
