"Sincc it is the latter which mr.
the most easily iiquidated, we are

He also suggested that there might
have been some overbuilding, but
called attention that this and other
unhealthy situations including the
"land boom in Florida" had subsidized

Does the Senator think the time has come for renaissance. of democracy and for those who believe in local self-government and individual rights to purify the Democratic party and draw to that party those who believe that the fires of democracy have not been quenched, and that local self government and the spirit of liberty are still existent in the land?
 MT Blease Mr.. President, I thank the Senator very much for his com pliments to the statesmen from South Carolina. l am sorry he asked me the question, but since he has asked it intend to answer 1t. I do not think there has been any Democratic party since MT Woodrow Wilson was ,inaug- rated President of the United States.

 Just as there is no royal road to riches, so there iS.no essv WaN of dis covering mineral wealth. For all this, the impression exists in many unso- phisticated minds that somewhere there is magic means that will un- lock. the treasures of the earth. To such the. work of modern science so often looks like magic that4their be- lief in magic is seemingly confirmed, though not admitted. For this req son, no 3doubt the v divining rod, against which so much has been writ ten, with apparently, as little effect, continues we'll accepted by many peo- pie, and legitimate geo-physical pros pecting devices have been credited hy many with moresValue than they have yet been demonstrated to possess.
 Thiszhas. heen manifested in an in teresting way since the appearance in the issue of Engineering and Mining Journal-Press- of February 20, of an article by K. C. Leylander, describing case where magnetometric survey ing was employed as an aid in explor- ing placer ground. Since then the au- thor has received more than 150 in. quiries as to where .his. magetometer was purchased, and similar requests for information have been addressed to the Engineering and Mining Jour nal-Press. Many of these inquiries indicated simple lack of common sense and failure to understand that an ore deposit cannot be located :. by magnetOmetric work alone. Like other erinstruments used in geophysical proSpecting,e the magnetometer Is simply a useful adjunct to the geolo- gist in his work. Many, however. seem to- think it is the doodlebug, bap- tized and admitted to the brotherhood, and that in some mystic manner it will tell the possessor where to dig Such people will do well to note what MT. Leylander said in his letter last week, namely, that when carried out by competent persons, the magnetic metric survey will map any given area with respect to relative mag netic intensities, and that with such map in hand one may intelligently select the best ground, in any area covered, in which further to prospect and develop a mine This is Mr. Ley lander's- opinion, and it is likely that. it is all that a magnetometric survey will ever do. It is simply prelimi- nary step in developing mine.
