AFTER POSTOFFICE BUILDING
Petition for Public Building Sent to
Our Representative

A numerously signed petition has
been sent to our representative, Hon.
John j. Esch, with a view of landing
a government postoffice building for
Viroqua. Why not? A second-class
postoffice in a city Of this size is
worthy of fine home for convenience
of both patrons and employees-not to
mention the fact that we have as yet
received no recognition from our gov
eminent along any appropriation line
Several years ago Esch introduced a
bill to this effect, but due to war and
stringeney of the times it did not re-
ceive favorable action by congress.

not only by the extension of favorable
geologic conditions into the reserva-
tion but by the occurrence, attested by
competent observers, OF asbestos in
considerable quantities at several
places in the reservation. Congress has
recently opened the reservation to pros
pectors and miners of metallic ores,
and although asbestos is not mentioned
in the law and permits to mine it are
not granted, it is one of the most val
liable minerals in the reservation.
Our principal source Of asbestos is
Canada, "a per cent of whose output
of crude and mill fibre in 1918, 4,Sl3
tons, was shipped into the United
States duty free, so that the United
States has thus become the greatest
manufacturer of asbestos in the world,
while Canada is its greatest producer
Besides the Canadian fibre the U2ited
States imported nearly 5000 tons from
South Africa in 1918 As compared
with these imports the domestic pro-
duction of asbestos in the United
States is very small, yet our asbestos is
Of sufficiently high quality. especially
the spinning fibre Of Arizona, to merit
the interest Of the American miners.

short tons. valued at S506, 056, mar
keted in 1917 The output in 1918 was
therefore only about 4S per cent Of
the quantity and "a per cent of the
value Of that OF 1917. The decrease in
the rate of production was greate-'. in
the higher grades.
Asbestos was produced in five states
Arizona, California, Georgia, Mary
land and Oregon. Georgia is the larg-
est producer, but it furnishes only fibre
of the lowest grade. California ranks
next, and this state, as well as Mary
land, increased its output in 1918 and
produced better grade of mill fibre.
Arizona ranks third, with five active
producers Its output is chiefly spin
ming fibre but includes a large pro-
portion of mill fibre.
As the asbestos field of Arizona is
being developed and the high quality
of its fibre more fully appreciated, con-
fidence that 1t is a permanent produc-
tion field is increasing, and 1t is re-
ceiving growing attention from manu-
faeturers of asbestos. A mill has been
operated for some time by the Ari-
gona Asbestos association, on Ash
creek, and another mill is in course of
construction by the Arizona Ores G.
Asbestos Co. to work the dumps of
short fibre on the Sierra Ancha, about
80 miles northeast of the Roosevelt
dam.

field, Arizona, eastward into the White

U. S. ASBESTOS PRODUCTION.
There Is Not Enough of the Higher
Grades for Spinning.

The supply Of asbestos of the lower
grades in the United States is large,
but the supply of that of the higher
grades, suitable for spinning, is de-
ficient. The domestic production Of
asbestos OF the spinning grades should
therefore be stimulated, but it can be
stimulated only by increasing the use
of asbestos of the lower grades, which
occur insthe same deposits and consti-
tute large part Of the material mined.
Asbestos has been considered war
mineral in Canada but not in the Unit
ed States. where the domestic pro-
duction has lately declined, even in
the face Of increased demand and
prices. Embargoes on transportation
and lack of labor retarded production
in 1918, so that the total domestic out
