solutions accompanying granite in trusions. The solutions were very hot and carried a number of elements be- sides tungsten, including silicon, iron, aluminium, phosphorus, sulphur, tit anium, flourine, and chlorine. These were exchanged for lime and carbon dioxide, which they carried away, leaving quantities of brown, green, reddish, or colorless garnet, with cpl dote, clinozoisite, diopside, scheelite, and other minerals, making a new rock (tactite), which looks very little like the limestone that it replaced. The scheelite in most deposits is in comparatively small quantity, so that the ore ordinarily carries less than 1 per cent of tungsten trioxide. AL though some masses of ore are of higher grade, much more is of lower grade. The deposits are very irreg- ular in form, and many thousands of dollars have been lost because the op- orators have not understood the geol- ogy of ore deposits of this type. Sim liar deposits have been exploited in Japan, Chosen, and Tasmania, but those of the United States are the most extensive now known. It seems probable that other deposits of this type will be found in California, Ne vada, and other States, also in China and other countries.
 A general study of the deposits in the United States has been made by Frank L. Hess and Esper s. Larsen, of the United States Geological Sur vey, and in the course of this work two heretofore unknown deposits were discovered by MT. Larsen. The known deposits are described in Bulletin 725- D, which has just been issued by the Geological Survey.

birds."
 Let us hear from others upon this subject. It is interesting to know the peculiarities and habits of these birds whose greatest amusement seems to be to get in front of ones machine and literally sail down the road ahead with an air of saying: "Get out of the way an let somebody run that can."
 Are these birds pests or benefac- tors? The desert is the home of many queer and venomous insects and reptiles. Does the Roadrunner help destroy these? There we can hSRr the sweet plaintive call of the Me can dove at sunset. Close to tie foothills and on the mesas the shy brown quail scurry through the un- derbrush. Come on you desert folks let us hear some more about the Roadrunner, whether it is in his favor or not.

Roadrunner Has Champions

In reply to the article published a few weeks ago requesting information about the Roadrunner we have receiv- ed some interesting replies. A cor respondent writes:
 Having read an article in the Miner concerning the Roadrunner, l wish to state that I have seen the birds kill rattlesnakes. l lived near Prescott on Lynx Creek for about 26 years and often had to cross the mesa at the foot of the mountains. While crossing this mesa I had seen circles of prickly pear cactus and on some of them a dried snake skin.
 I had heard the miners tell of see ing the birds kill snakes but hardly believed them until one day l came on two of the Roadrunners fluttering about and making great deal of noise. Creeping up carefully as near as possible so as not to frighten the birds I saw them pick up small pieces of cactus and drop them in sort of circle. Upon closer investigation saw a rattlesnake lying just inside the spiny fence. The birds were trying to provoke the snake into impaling him. self on the cactus. Finally one of the birds picked up a small spine and fly ing over the snake dropped it upon him. Of course this caused the snake to thrash about and become impaled on the other cactus. I saw this same thing happen in various places espec- ially in Yavapai county as the prickly pear grows in great abundance in that district"
 Another correspondent, this time q lady has this to say about the Road runner:
 "Last year my husband and myself were farming in the Palo Verde Val ley. On one of our trips to Blythe we noticed a Roadrunner dart across the road ahead of the car and rushing up the bank peck fiercely at some ob- ject and run back. By that time the car was abreast of the place where we had seen the bird, and there was rattlesnake squirming and striking in all directions. From all appear ances the Roadrunner had blinded the snake which we killed. On our re- turn we noticed the snake had gone.
 A miner friend tells us of seeing two Roadrunners surround a rattle snake with cactus and then fly above it and drop balls of the prickly spines upon the rattler, who in desperation finally sunk his fangs into his own body, thus committing suicide. The miners generally are in favor of the

TUNGSTEN MINERALS

For a long time it was supposed that tungsten minerals were found only in veins and pegmatite bodies, but in 1907 and 1908, according to the United States Geological Survey, De- partment of the Interior, scheelite was discovered as minor mineral in contact-metamorphic deposits in such widely separated places as Japan, Fin land, Alaska and Nevada. The Ne vda deposit was at Browns, now Toy, in Humboldt County, but, like the others, it was of too low grade to be mined at that time in competition with the higher-grade veins of the United States and other countries. In 1915, after the World War had begun, mining and milling were started on the deposit at Browns and on deposits that had been more recently discover ed near Bishop, Calif., and in 1917 the price had risen so high that pros pecting for tungsten was carried on vigorously all over the west and num- erous other contact-metamorphic de- posits were found in various parts of the Great Basin in Nevada, Califor- nia, and northwestern Utah. Mining operations were begun on many of them, so that in 1918 they contribut- ed very considerable part of the tungsten supply of the world, fur nishing an equivalent of 1,427 short tons of ore carrying 60 per cent of tungsten trioxide.
 All the contact-metamorphic de- posits carry tungsten in the form of scheelite (calcium tungstate), with here and there some secondary tung- sten minerals, mostly tungstite (tung sten oxide). Wolfranite and the oth- CT original tungsten minerals are wholly unknown in this type of de- posit.
 The deposits have been formed through the alteration of limestones and in less quantity of other rocks, by

GETS MINIMUM OF 65 YEARS

Harry Nash was given a sentence of from 65 to 75 years for the killing of Martin Schwab, by the judge of the superior court of Coconino county, last week, following a verdict of murder in the second degree. As Nash is over 30 years of age he will care little whether he has to fill out the long or the short term. But fel- lows like Nash are lucky to escape the moose for a crime such as he was convicted of. He was either guilty of the greater crime or he was innocent. Of course, like many cases where the death penalty may be affixed, jury men are loath to put themselves on record as favoring hanging and hold out for lesser penalty, and in this way murderers escape their just pun ishment.

MORREL BACK

L. P. Morrel, who was very much in evidence in the promotion of sev- eral properties in the Oatman field during the boom days of the camp, has returned to Mohave county to look over the field. He is hunting for a gold mine for a group of clients and is in hopes of finding one that will suit. Since leaving Oatman Lew has been over a good part of the mining states, having to do with several i'm portant oil properties in Texas and visiting the metal mining sections of the southwest. He has many friends in the county who will welcome him back.

RED CROSS GIVES 46,OOO POUNDS
 OF CLOTHING

A total of 46,600 pounds of clothing, contributed by over 16O American communities, has already been receiv- ed at Brooklyn, N. r., ready for ship ment in response to the joint appeal of the American Red Cross and the American Friends Service Committee in behalf of the desperately needy of Europe. The bulk of the clothing, 'ac- cording to the first report received at Red Cross National Headquarters, is for children, whose situation is par ticularly pitiful. Shipments of child ren's clothing total nearly twenty tons and in addition Red Cross chapter workers have already made and ship ped more than two tons of layettes.
 The response to the appeal has come from communities large and small throughout the country. Poughkeep- sic, N. Y, sent 2,600 pounds of cloth ing and shoes. Los Angeles made an initial contribution of 3,4OO pounds; Newton, Mass, Utica, N. Y., Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston, each made substantial contributions. But it is a large aggregate of small communities in the West that swelled the total.
 Preparations to pick up job like providing clothing for half million destitute children is one of the things Red Cross Chapter organization mak- es possible", said Miss Olive A. Rauch, representative from Pacific Division Red Cross headquarters, who visited Kingman recently.
 "One hundred eight Chapters in the Pacific Division are working on this clothing production now. The one hundred ninety-nine Chapters in the Pacific Division stand pledged to make 22,OOO layettes and 10000 garments as their share of the 250,000 layettes and 2,O00,0O0 garments which the American Red Cross promised to de- liver to Central European countries this year."
 "A Red Cross Chapter in a com munity is organized to express phases of community life and civic spirit for which no other organization is so well equipped. The Fifth Red Cross Roll Call is the annual event in which the whole community unites to set ap- proval on Red Cross working plans"

Congregation of First Unitarian
Church Busy in Campaign
Reorganization work of the First
Unitarian church of Topeka, at 914
Topeka boulevard, is going forward
successfully A meeting of the men
of the church was held last week, in
their open forum smoker, where plans
were discussed and committees ap-
pointed. Not to be outdone by the
men, the women of the church are to
hold meeting in the church parlor
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock,
where they will discuss over the tea
cups their part of the work.
The reorganization work in Topeka
is part of nationwide movement to
forward liberal Christianity. Promi-
nent among the workers in the ma
tional movement is William Howard
Taft.
1t is not perhaps widely known that
Of the sixty-three Americans who have
thus far been given place in the ma
tional Hall of Fame, twenty-five were
Unitarians, including the well known
names of Emerson, Longfellow, Low
ell. Bryant, Holmes, Hawthorne,
Adams, Jefferson, Franklin. Webster.
Two of them were presidents of the

will not die a Unitarian"
All that is needed in the local
church at this time is that those who
would be interested in "a free. open
minded. liberal church, shall come
forward and give their support to the
work. Much interest Is being mani
tested, and the outlook is promising
and encourag ing. The future of lib
eral Christianity in Topeka depends
upon the intelligent direction given to
it at this time.
The women's meeting at the church
at 3 O'Clock tomorrow afternoon is to
this end. and all friends of liberal
Christianity are urged to attend The
men have already lined up on a def
mite program: the women hope to ac-
complish as much at the meeting to-
morrow
