What is believed to be the first jet
deposit to be developed in the United
States is now being successfully mined
in Wayne county, Utah, where recently
mineralogists discovered the largest
commercial body of the mineral known
to exist in the world. Singularly, dis
covery Of the jet was accidentally
made by party of miners engaged in
assessment work for a copper company.
The work of mining the jet began late
in the summer of last year and, with
financial backing assured, is expected
to develop into great proportions.
At the present time the work of
mining the mineral is more or less
crudely done, but it is the intention of
the owners of the decidedly valuable
deposits soon to install modern ma
chinery and develop the industry into
the largest of it's kind in the world

what is called the "scalping" process,
laying bare the peat of the bog. Over
the peat is spread four-inch layer Of
clean white sand. Planting is the next
proceeding. Vine cuttings are used for
this purpose and are pressed through

Electioneerinn Expenses in France.

EIectioneering Expenses in France.
Whereas electioneering in Great
Britain is nothing like so expensive as
it used to be, the tendency in France
is all the other way, for there is no
limit imposed on the amount candi
date may spend. In an article advo-
eating the need of a law to restrict
election expenses NJ. Jean Barnard re-
marks: my old friend Floquet told
me that in 1891, when he was first
elected for the Eleventh arrondisse-
ment of Paris, the election cost him
only 1900 francs. At the general elec~
ton of 1891, when he was defeated,
Floquet spent $4,000 francs, and had
to spend even more than that when
stood for the> same constituency in
1910. My opponents victory on this
occasion is said to have cost him 200:
600 francs, and I believe that estimate
to be by no means exaggerated."-
