THE NATURAL BRIDGES OF
UTAH
BY T. T. MAXEY

THE NATURAL BRIDGES OF
UTAH
n ORTY-FIVE miles north of Bluff,
L in Southwestern Utah, within a
space of about five miles, are three
natural bridges which are understood
to be the largest Of their kind. in
existence
Named Sipapu (Gate of Heaven),
Kachima Guardian Spirit and Owa-
chomo Crock MounO, these bridges
were discovered in 1885, The three
constitute a National monument, being
so proclaimed by Presidential an
nouncement in 1908.
The largest of the three has an ex-
IRENE height Of 222 feet and is IS
feet thick at the top of the arch,
which is % feet wide. 1t has a span
of 261 feet. the height Of the span
being 157 feet.
One has but to fix those figures in
his mind to gain fair idea of the
immensely of these wonders which
Nature fashioned from the lofty walls
of White canyon.
Near the monument are some caves
and ruins which are believed to have
been the homes of prhistOric race
which inhabited this section.
These bridges are best reached by
stage or team from the railroad sta
ton at Thompson. Utah, to Monticello,
thence by pack-horse-a journey
through a strange, misunderstanding,
but interesting land.

FLUORSPAR Mine
DISCOVERED" in
HARDIN CO. ILL,
Largest Known Deposit Made
Known As Result of Recent
Strike Disorders

Elizabethtown, ILL.,, Sept 27.-Hid-
den here in Hardin county, off the
beaten path of transportation, the old
est fluorspar mine in America, and
likewise the largest in the world was
recently ,.discovered' by the rest of
the country when strike disorders
brought newspaper men to this south
eastern corner of Illinois.
Not since the James boys rode
through Kentucky and crossed the
Ohio river near here has this quaint
little county seat village-the second
oldest settlement in Illinois-eXperi-
anced so much excitement, unless ii
was during the hectic days of recon
struction when night riders, the Ku
Klux Khan and border whitecappers
kept southern Illinois and northern
Kentucky in a ferment.
The Hardin county fluorspar veins
are the largest in the United States
The main vein, running northeast and
southwest across portion of the
county ranges from to 80 feet wide,
is being worked on the 900 foot level,
and diamond drills which have pene-
trated 1900 feet have failed to find
the bottom. Rosiclare mine, in opera
ton more than forty years, holds a
worlds record for tonnage produced.
Unlike coal veins in the neighboring
counties, which lie fiat in bed or
blanket" formation, the main fluor
spar vein stands on edge, and is mined
under the same conditions as it's sister
hard rock minerals in Colorado and
the west. In the eastern part of the
country, at Spar Mountain, near Cave
in Rock, there is blanket vein of
spar which is mined much like coal.
Fluorspar is used in industry for
a wide range of purposes. The finest
grade found, optical spar, goes into
the making of optical instruments.
The opalescent glass industry and the
enameling works making kitchen uten-
sils and bath room fixtures use a
coarser grade, only SO per cent pure
Other grades go into the making of
hydrocloric acid, aluminium and steel.
Ten pounds of spar are used as flux
in the making of each ton of steel,
and SIS per cent of all spar mined goes
into the steel industry. Optical spar
sold during the war at $50 an ounce
and the grade used in steel making
at $50 a ton.

WHERE PENCILS
ARE MADE AND

Three Quarters of a Billion Con-

where do they go? Although almost

the United States every year. using

600 cases of pencil Stats per year
From each case 100 gross of pencils
is made. This results in about one
billion pencils of American grown
cedar. Since one-fourth of this num-
Der is sent to foreign countries that
leaves 750,000,000 pencils for the
home market, which means an ave-
age of seven pencils per person fig
uring on the last census.
AS far back as history goes man
has tried to make things to mark
with and to set down his thoughts.
The Aztecs and the Pharaohs had
crude marking devices. As early as
1850 Kahn, a Swedish naturalist made
experiments with American cedar. In
1912 William Monroe made 500 pen
ellis at Concord and sold them in
Boston but the war stopped his plans.
In 1861 Eberhard Faber began max
ing pencils on a large scale in this
country.
The graphite which makes the
mark is of course the important part
in the manufacture of the pencil. Cey
Ion has furnished much of the gra-
phite used in this country. Graphite
is also found in Madagascar and in
Mexico. Czechoslovakia contains de-
posts of both the amphorous and
crystalline graphite. In the United
States the chief deposits are in Ala
bama. New York and Pennsylvania.

GIVES FIGURES
ON u. S. EXPORTS
More Than Million and a Third
Freight Cars Needed To Move
Stuff Sent Abroad

Louisville, KY, Sept. 27.-Southern
Railway foreign commerce service
headquarters here today announced
what was regarded as striking anal
ysis of Americas export business of
principal commodities for the first
six months of 1921. The announce
ment, which was made by R. l..
Kellar, freight traffic manager, says
that 1,360,440 freight cars each 40
feet long and containing 25 tons,
would be required to transport the
commodities exported which were
placed at 34,011 900 tons and train,
if cars were so assembled, would be
1880 miles long, or nearly half way
around the world.
Exports of wheat alone. Mr.. Nickel
lars figures showed for the period,
were equivalent to 147.S66 such car
loads, or an increase of 1855 per cent
over the same period of last year
Exports of corn, it also was said,
aggregated 64,679 carloads or an in
crease of ST. per cent as compared
with the same period in 1920. The
announcement also stated that the
combined quantity of principal eX-
ports for the first six months of the
current year exceeded the quantity of
exports for the same months in 1920
by 1920 carloads or 10000 tons. The
increase, it said, principally was in
wheat corn iron pipe cotton seed oil
meal and coke apples, malt, benzol
and lard The impetus given the
movement of cotton by the recent adj
vance in price it added, has been sub
sequent to the compilation of these
figures. The movement of this com
modify for the first six months shows
decrease.
