TYPES OF CONCRETE LUMBER

Frank B. Howe. In Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, describes concrete
lumber.
II has commonly been predicted
for some time that concrete as a
building material would eventually
take some form which would enable
easier handling and faster construc-
ton than is possible under the Gus
tomary method Of handling that ma
terial at present.
Fully in line with this prediction.
and with the peculiar coincidence
which inventors in all lines know
only too well, two men in the same
city have announced at practically
the same time the successful inven-
ton and use of what may be termed
concrete lumber"-material which
may be purchased in the same man
ner as ordinary lumber; erected in
similar fashion without need of elab-
crate form or molds, and giving a
finished result that equals that
achieved by the pouring method.
One style of this lumber consists
of standard boards" which are fur
nished in a variety of sizes. They
are made by pouring concrete v
special reinforcement consisting of
iron rods and heavy-mesh wire. This
is aged a little over a month before
being sold. Hence when the pur-
chaser buys 1t, he can erect his con-
crete building without the least de-
lay.
The boards are tounge-and-grooved
and finished with a beam" at each
edge. In construction, these pieces
fit snugly together, an iron clamp, or
tie, is slipped around the adjoining
beams, and the joint is made. a lit
tie wet cement having first been
used to insure the absolute tightness
OF the connection.
The other type Of concrete lum-
Der has two basic types of construc-
tion-one for walls and one for floors
The wall type consists of small con-
crete boards, at the end of which are
grooves, into which key plates. also
of concrete fit.
The floor sections consist of square
trough-like plates, which, when
placed with their open sides togeth-
or. form a hollow slab. The adjacent
squares are laid two inches apart. A
steel rod is then inserted In the open
ing and the space filled with concrete,
solidifying the whole floor into one
piece. and providing the necessary re-
Enforcement.

NEW MACHINE CLEARS LAND

Among the new agricultural ma
chinery is a ponderous mechanical
construction which moves under its
own power over some rough country
and leaves 1t in condition for plant
ing. The operation of clearing land
for agricultural purposes is a very
hard and tedious operation, but with
the aid of this new machine the labor
and time expenditure is reduced more
than half. The front end of the ma
chine, which moves on a caterpillar
tread. is equipped with heavy mars
with sharpened points which enter
the ground alternately and tear roots
and throw them on a conveyor belt,
dropping them inside to be disposed
OF later. The Q of the machine is
supplied with a somewhat different
device which pulverizes the ground
and leaves 1t In condition for plant
ing. Under ordinary conditions this
mechine has a capacity Of three acres
= day.

SILVER NINE IN Los
ANGELES MOVIE STNDIOS

About $4,000 ounces of silver is
shipped each month from Los An
geles. California, to the smelling
plant of the American Smelling and
Refining Co. on San Francisco Bay.
The "ore" is silver bromide and the
mines" are the moving picture stud
dios in Hollywood, and Universal
City, according to the Engineering
and Mining Journal-Press of New
York. The film IN which is made
the impression that reproduces the
picture on the screen is coated with
a compound containing silver. Thous-
ands of feet of film are used daily
and much of 1t Is wasted. Likewise
a great quantity of film is returned
when played out. This discarded ma
terial is burned and the ashes form
the "ore" that is shipped to the
smelter. At the smelter it is mixed
with fresh silver from the mines of
Nevada, California, and neighboring
States. and is reduced to bullion. The
bullion is tent east where, from some
of it, new bromide is made and new
film coated ready to be shot by the
camera man.

OIL SHALE ENGINEER
INSPECTS ELKO PLANT

Elko, Nevada, July 10.-Declar-
source of potential wealth in the State
of Nevada and the greatest thing on
the Industrial horizon for the future
of the country, DR.. Vivctor C. Alder
son, president Of the Colorado School
of Mines at Golden, left for his home
after a short visit to Elko to in
spect the plant of the Catlin Shale
Company, one of the few companies
in the United States to-day that is
successfully producing oil from shale
on a commercial basis.
To-day's trip Of DR.. Anderson was
the fourth that he has made to the
Catlin plant since experiments we're
started here six years ago. He con-
tends that the Catlin plant is in the
front rank Of producing oil shale
companies. and was very much
pleased with the advancement that
had been made at the local plant
since his last visit.
In a recent visit 10 the shale beds
of Kentucky DR.. Anderson discovered
that the recoverable oil content of
the Kentucky shales would be four
times as much as of all the potential
we'll oil in the United States. taking
the figures of the United States Geo.
logical Survey as a basis. Nevada,
he said, should almost equal those
figures, to say nothing Of the i'm
mems possibilities in his own State
and Utah.
The head Of the Colorado school
told of the new plant in operation in
the De Beque district. and of H. L.
Brown of Index, Colo, where he
states a successful method of recov-
cry is being demonstrated. In the
Brown process a revolving horizontal
retort is used. very dissimilar to that
in use at the Catlin plant.

ABOUT KLOMD|KE
GOLD DISCOVERY

Gold dust worth s135, 600 600 has
been taken from the creeks of the
Klondike. Although rs years has
elapsed. since the first discovery, that
event is recalled by the oath recently
of George w. Carmack who planned
the first high-grade gravel from Bo-
nanza Creek. The details of the dis
covery are related by a writer in the
Engineering and Mining Journal
Press of New York. Carmack was a
fisherman, with an Indian squaw,
and maintained a small trading-post
on the Yukon 20 miles above the
Crossing. He was not the first to
find gold in the valleys of the Klon-
dixie, for Robert Henderson preceded
him, but he started the stampede
that led to the development of the
Yukon territory. At the time Car
mack was fishing for salmon at the
mouth of the Klondike, where 1t
joins the Yukon and where Dawson
now stands. Two miles up the val
ley the Klondike is Joined by b.
nanza creek. Carmack happened to
be short of fresh meat, SO he went
with three Indians, one of them a
brother-in-law, on a hunting expedi-
ton. At that time Bonanza creek
was known as a likely place for
moose, therefore he went thither. He
knew that Henderson and three 9TH
er white men were mining on Gold
Bottom, On the other side of the
watershed, so he crossed the divide
with his Indian companions, to see
what the others were doing and to
sell them some of the fresh meat that
he and the Indians had obtained.
Henderson and his partners were
not getting much gold and Carmack
soon returned to the camp on b
nanza creek. Having seen the min
ing done by the four men on Gold
Bottom. he was prompted to do "a
little prospecting himself, and, al
most at the first try, found gold on
the rim of the bedrock projecting
above the water of the Bonanza
creek. This rich spot, recognized as
''the discovery" proved later to be
only a patch 20 feet square. Carmack
recorded his claim and the three
claims located In the names of his
friends, Shookum Jim, Indian Pete,
and Tagish Charlie. A quiet rush"
began. David Mackey, Daniel Mac
Gillivray and Harry Waugh we're the
first to start. Each of them made a
fortune. The information did -
reach the outside" meaning the
States, until the best ground had
been staked; those who came to Daw-
o with the stampede at the end of
1897, and in the Spring Of 1898,
found that they we're too late. They
had to buy claims or work for wages.
On July IA, 1897, the steamer. "Ex-
celsior" reached San Francisco with
the tidings of a new E%ldorado; in
proof thereof she brought half a
million dollars in gold. This was
the first of many treasure-ships to
enter the Golden Gate like Spanish
g~alleons of the olden days.

deal of hesitancy. had agreed to take

Christmas Shopping Better
Than Last Year, Retail.
ere Report; More Call
for Luxury Merchandise

From present indications holiday re-
tail trade, at least SO far as New York
is concerned, will outstrip last year. by
9 large margin, Even at this early
date most of the large retail stores are
doing large business in holiday goods,
with the real rush yet to come Every
day so far this week gift departments
have done & thriving business and the
stores have been crowded close to ca
pacity.
There is certain amount of caution
in the holiday spending, according to
store executives, which was marked
last year and in 1920. However, along
with the caution is decidedly more
liberal attitude on che part of many
customers, This is evidenced by a
larger call for jewelry and other ar
ticles Of similar nature which fall in
the luxury class. Pianos also have
shown more popularity as Christmas
gifts this year than they did at this
time last year, says another store ex-
ecutive.
The tendency toward the purchasing
OF wearing apparel as gifts is less
marked this year, one retailer says,
and the apparel departments are rot
as busy as the merchants expected
they would be at present.

Express Confidence

Confidence in the future of the
raw silk market is expressed by II.
L. Gwalter & Co, In their weekly
market review.
"The local raw silk marke. ID
quiet" says the review, "but prices
hold fairly steady, supported by
moderate day by day demand for
current needs of the mills. Whero-
ever silk is offered at advantageous
prices it Is quickly taken up and
the market furnishes proof Of A
strong undertone and Of sustained
confidence in the future. Produc-
tlon at the mills continues at a high
level and from many centers come
reports of increasing difficulties IN
procuring labor. Spot business in
the fabric market has quieted down
somewhat, but the outlook for the
spring season Is very satisfactory"

Commercial Credit

The opening of new credit accounts
In retail stores is showing an upward
trend at present after having slumped
slightly earlier In the year. Retail
merchants attribute this to generally
improved business and a more liberal
spending attitude on the part of busi-

ooence in the future permit the mem
bers of their household TO open charge
accounts.
Commercial money remains fairly
active. with liberal quantities of new
commercial paper coming into the
