SCHOOL OF MINES
HAS CLAY BULLETIN
WORK RECENTLY ISSUED CON-
TAINS VALUABLE INFORMAL
TION ON CLAY DEPOSITS.

Through the University of Idaho
the State Bureau of Mines and Ge-
! ology, in cooperation with the W. S.
Bureau Of Mines, has just issued Bull
letin No. 2, entitled, ga Preliminary
Report on the Clays Of Idaho," the
authors being F. H. Skeels of Wal
lace, and Hewitt Wilson of the U. S.
Bureau of Mines. All known clay
deposits of the state, which are ac-
cessible to transportation, were visit
ed and examined and the results of
complete utilization tests are reported
in the bulletin. A total Of 88 samples
was taken from 80 deposits and % of
these deposits are shown to have
commercial possibilities. Samples
from Benewah, Cassia, Kootenay, La
tab, Lewis, Idaho, Power, Shoshone,
and Washington counties are included
in the tests made.
The best clay in the state, so far as
refractory or fire resisting qualities
are concerned, is found in Latah
County. Some of the Latah County
clays, when washed to remove
silica, proved infusible in anything
except the electric furnace. The re-
port also suggests the possibility of
using this material for the manufac-
tureof whiteware.
There is already considerable de-
mand for this bulletin, for which a
charge of 35c is made.

morning, shot through the body by a
heavy load of buckshot from a 12-
guage, single barreled shot gun.
Mr.. Grice returned to Moscow Mon

sad tragedy. 1T was shown by the
evidence that after Cummerford had
secured the keys from Mr.. Vanwert.

his young son, he returned to the
store after telling Mrs. Cummerford
that he would return the keys. He
seemed in the best of spirits when he
left the house.

Of the store, entered at $50 he saw
some one moving about in the back
part OF the store. The man seemed to
stagger as if drunk Mr.. Wilkins went
back and recognized John GUNNER

a years official record during which
time she produced 13,455.6 pounds of
milk, 714.99 pounds of butterfat or

This record is one of the largest ever
made in the northwest by a Guernsey.
"Queeni Lass" as she is called, is
a large cow weighing about 1900
pounds and has the straightness of
line so much desired in good cows.
She has displaced Sara of Mountain
View, 57013, owned by Mr.. L. G.
Perry of Wendell, as the leading
Guernsey in Idaho by 107.34 pounds
Of butterfat.
