Electric Concern Will Run Farm

While East Orange, n. j., is the
seat of the plant of Thomas A. Ed
ison, electrical inventor and wizard
Wisconsin is taking the lead in de-
velopment of uses of electricity.
This, in a measure, is due to the
rapid strides made in utilization
of hydro-electric power, for this has
taken electricity to farms at nom.

State In Survey

state conserva' ion commission at
Madison cooperating with the

announcement by Elmer S. Hall,

has been established in the north

First Zinc ores were mined in
the region about 1862. This. the
records show, was zinc carbonate.
Very little zinc sulphite was mined
there previous to 1875.
Mr.. Morrow adds that the deeper
ores which form the basis of the
modern mining industry of this
area are the suIphide ores. Their
discovery and subsequent develop
ment, he says, has been made pos
sible largely through the surface
exposures of ores or other indica-
lions that would have been destroy
ed or deeply buried in drift had
the area been glaciated. Discovery
has shown zinc ores usually occur
at the base of the Galena limestone
and vary in width from fifteen to
more than one hundred feet; in
height from three to eighty feet
and in length from several hundred
feet to more than a mile
Previou to 1906 nearly all pros
2ecting in ine u1strict was doIG by
suart sinking and nearly all Of the
lead and zinc mines before that
time were found by sinking and
drifting on crevices and outcrops.
Under such condition the level of
the ground water marked the linn
it's to which these operations ex-
tended. Diamond drilling has been
tried with little success. Accord
ing to Mr.. Morrow the best method
yet discovered is the process of
churn drilling used exclusively for
the past sixteen or eighteen years.

In the peaceful hills and ridges
Of southwestern Wisconsin lies the
paradise" of the geologist and
mineralogist, according to Fl. B..
Morrow, director of the Wisconsin
Mining school, there. That portion
of the state embracing the counties
Of Grant, Iowa and Lafayette, he
says, is one of the oldest, richest,
and yet, the least known, to the
people of the state.
THE travellers in this section"
says Mr.. Morrow, viewing the
scenes for the first time cannot but
feel the perfect contentment, the
complete tranquility that pervades
the atmosphere and overspreads
the entire country around these
hills.
"As one descends from these
ridges and hills to the valleys be-
low. Niagara limestone first is seen.
Further descent along the nearly
flatlying strata shows glimpses of
Maquaqueta shale, the Galena and
Plateville limestone, the st. Peter
Sandstone and finally the Magnes-
ian limestone"
The mineral area, according to
the director, is about seventy miles
long and forty miles wide. 1t in
cludes a portion of 10 Davies cOun
ty, Illinois, and of Dubuque County,
Iowa, and lies wholly within what
is geologically known as the non
glaciated area of the upper MSS
issippi valley. Surface ore consist
ing of lead and zinc carbonate we're
early discovered and were known
to the early settlers and explorers.
The country was first opened as a
lead producer, in 1920.
Used Ok Teams
Mr.. Morrow explains that in
early days lead was hauled by an
OK team from Mineral Point and
other places to the old shot tower
near Spring Green on the Wiscon-
sin river, and there made into shot
The construction of this shot tow
er was begun by Daniel Wbitne--. -
Green Bay merchant, in 1881, and
finished in 1888 A small village
had been laid out near there by
Gen. Dodge, territorial governor,
and others, and this was expected
to rival the town of Galena, ILL.,,
settled a few years before.
Previous to this time, all of the
lead mined in southwestern Wis
consin, had been sold at Galena
and St. Louis, Missouri. 1t was
taken down the Mississippi river
to the gulf and thence to Boston
and New York.
After the shot tower was com
pIeted, shot was hauled to Milwau-
kee as the market, but this was
journey requiring from ten days to
two weeks and the trips were sub
seQuently abandoned and shipping
was started to Galena. The name
of the operating company was the

Inquiry Placed
On Rumania's Control
OF Minority Sects

Bucharest, Aug. . ca. l.. by NAL
Considerable interest is being dis
played in the present visit to Rr-
mania of the Anglo American dele
cation for the study of the condi-
ton of the minority churcheS OF
TRANSATLANTIC. The delegation IS
composed of four members, and IT.
cludes DR.. l.. G. Cornish, of Boston,
secretary of the American Unitarian
Association; DIR. Charles Schaefttr.
of Philadelphia, of the Reformed
Churches of the United States; Dr.
sylvester Beach, of Princeton, of the
Association of Presbyterian Church
es; and the Rev. DIR. A. S. Hurn, tt
Leicester, England, of the British
end Foreign Unitarian Association.
The members of the delegation,
after such preparatory study as was
possible in Bucharest, have Travelled
more than 1000 miles in Transylvan-
ia, and held conferences in different
parts of the province, going freely
and unaccompanied from place To
place in pursuit of their investiga-
ton, and sparing no effort to arrive
at the true condition of affairs In
respect to the attitude Of the Ru-
manian government towards the So
called minority churches.
In an address few days ago, re-
turning thanks to the officials of the
Rumanian government for thelr
readiness in answering questions and
in supplying such data as the dele
GATES asked for in order to give
them an insight into the govern
ment's attitude and policies towards
the religious minorities, DR.. Hurn
said:
1--WE are of the opinion that con-
Gitions have improved curing the
past two years. We understand the
enormous difficulties of this problem,
a problem complex of religion ana
race. / cannot say that We are fulIy
satisfied with the conditionS-as We
found them-of the minority church
es. but it seems to US that the Ru-
manian government wants to satisfy
all reasonable and Just demands.
The commission has announced
that it will prepare joint and COM
plete preliminary report Ct lis inVes-
LEGATIONS, in which wilt be set forth
in detail all cases of alleged abuses
that were brought 10 its 3ttentlon.
The government will then be given
ample opportunity 20 retute or eX-
plain any charges thai may be
brought and. following this, the final
report of the commission will he
published in Great B'itiar and the
C:itcd states.
This report should be extremely
valuable from two angles. it will
probably lead, or at least help in
leading, to the redress of such abuses
of power as may at present exist,
and at the same lime, provide he
outside world with Il complete and
unbiased report IN TIE corditiOn of
the minority races and religions in
the province OF Pennsylvania.

Virginia Valli Enacts A Mere
Housewife Superb!y

Proneness to over emphasize the
manner in which humans with Whom
the world is acquainted intimately
rs class has been held to be a
fault in most stage or screen dellnea-
tons of life. but this criticism can
not be applied to THE Signal
Tower" Universal-super- Jewel, star
ring Virginia Valli, which was given
it's first showing in the Opera House
yesterday. For once, at least, the
screen has given it's devotees real
human beings, and, evidently, eX-
aggeration is taboo among the work
ing materials of Clarence l.. Brown,
who directed the picture.
Virginia Valli has done some fine
things before the screen but never
has she appeared more as If she We're
going through an ordinary routine
of daily existence without thought
OF acting" than in her present We
hicle. Here, she takes the part of
young wife who lives for her hus-
band and their child in the home of
signal tower along the line of rails
running through a lonely forest.
Majestic in Its Settings
"The Signal Tower" is not spec
tacle production" in the way of num-
bers of cast and hugeness of 'sets,"
but if there be any more majestic
setting for story than the giant
redwood forests of Northern Cali
fornia, or any more appealing setting
than happy life in a humble home,
then neither has been found by pro-
ducers of motion pictures.
THE Signal Tower" truly is
faithful story and picture. Rockliffe
Fellows is convincing as the hus-
band; and Wallace Berry is at his
best as the boarder.
