III lle elHplOyIHeHI Ol llOIe HIGH. "A notable increase in the production of radium in Colorado and also in such has been due, some mining men claim to the work of these stations. These stations, it is said were factors in winning the war through the de- velopment of ore deposits of metals which were used for war purposes.
 During that time, when the nation needed some of the rare metals as al Joys in special steels, the increased production of minerals of these metals were undoubtedly a factor to- wards success
 This work of aiding the mineral in dustry is continuing and the bureau, through it's several stations. now has definite cooperative agreements with more than forty mining and metailur- gical concerns, universities and state organizations for the solution of in dustrial problems which will 1dd 10 the prosperity and greatness of American mineral industries. The work of these stations has been grow ing so increasingly important and so much business :H being carried on with them by the industry that fol- l lowing a suggestion made bJ Dorsey \ Lyons, supervisor of stations. the stations have been reclassified and given definite names, so that there will be a better understanding of the work performed and a greater access sibility between them and the indus tries interested.
 The experiment station at Bartles- vile, Okla, will continue as the cen I'ter of the petroleum experiments and will continue to be known as the Petroleum Experiment station The metallurgical treatment of ores com mon to California and adjacent states will be dealt with at the Pacific sta tiOn at Berkeley, Calf. Experiments relating to ceramics and the clay in dustry will continue to be carried on at Columbia, Ohio, which will con- | tinue to be known as the Ceramic station. The Alaska station, dealing 1 with problems of the mining industry of Alaska, is located at Fairbanks | Problems connected with the mining and beneficiation of loW-grade iron | ore, manganese and other ores on the Lake Superior district will be dealt with at the North Central station, at Minneapolis, Minn.
 Coal mining in all it's phases, in cluding mine safety, first aid and | mine rescue wori:, the testing and the metallurgy of iron and steel will | constitute the chief work of the par ent station at Pittsburg, Pa which will bear it's former name of the Pittsburg station. The station form erly at Golden Colo, has been moved to Reno, Nev.. and will be known as the Rare and Precious Metals sta. | tiOn, dealing with rare metals inyesti gation and the problems of mining and metallurgy of gold and silver ores common in some of. the western states. The station at Seattle, Wash
 dealing with the problems of mining and utilization of coal and the treat. ment of non-ferrous ores of the Pa. cific Northwest, will be known as the | Northwest station. The station at Salt Lake City, Utah, engaged upon experiments With the complex and | low-grade ores found in that part of the country, particularly those of lead and zinc, will be known as the Inter-Mountain station.
 The metallurgy of ores common to the southwest and especially the treatment of lowgrade copper ores constitute the principal work of the station at Tucson. Ariz., known as the Southwest station. The station at Urbana, H., dealing with the coals of the general district fields, will be known as the General District station. The station recently established at Tuscaloosa, Ala, with it's central of fices at Birmingham, will be known as the Southern station, dealing pri- marily with the mining problems of that region. The other station of re- cent establishment, which will be
