New Mineral Substance.

TONOPAH, Nev.-New mineral
substance. resembling asbestos. has
been found in an eight foot vein
near Coaldale, New. Officials of the
federal bureau of mines have indi-
Gated their intention of sending ex-
pcrts to study the material.
Experiments have proved the new
substance is excellent for insulation
and is also a good polisher for dia-
monds, rubies and other precious
stones. 1t will also serve as soap,
being so gritty it will cut grease.
1t is also said to be freproof. Al
though resembling asbestis it is
said to be too light for asbestos.

TWO RESIGN FROM
SCHOOLS; BOARD
SEEKS TEACHERS

The Rock Island board Of educa-
ton is again looking for teachers,
following the resignation Of two
from the teaching staff during the
past week. Superintendent E. c.
Fisher will go to Chicago Monday
in an endeavor to sign teachers
and complete the personnel of the
force for the fall term. A physical
director and one grade teacher are
needed.
Because of the constantly grow
ing tendency of teachers to disre-
gard their contracts when another
position is offered which appears
more advantageous, school boards
throughout the state have been put
to much trouble in procuring their
teachers. The difficulty has been
encountered here, and it is believed
that drastic measures will be taken
to ensure the sanctity Of contracts
unless teachers voluntarily stop the
practice.
