FIRE THREATENS TANKER,
DESERTED BY CREW OF 80
Flames Are Eating Through Coal
Bunkers Toward Explo-
sive Cargo.

CANSO, N. S., August 8.-Abandoned
by her crew, the tanker Nina Brae last
night lay rolling helplessly miles off
Cranberry Head light with fire eating
its way through the coal bunkers and
threatening cargo Of gasoline and re-
fined oil.
Shortly before the fire started Capt.
Galway and his crew of about 80 were
taken off by the Gloucester fishing
schooner Catherine. commanded by
Capt. Archie Macleod.
No information as to how the fire
started was available. It was thought
possible here the flames might burn
themselves out before reaching the ex-

IN SOUTH REPORTED
Aluminium Co. of America Is
Said to Plan $125,O
600 Project.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., August 8.-The
Charlotte Observer today says a New
Niagara" is planned in the mountains
of North Carolina and Tennessee by
the Aluminium Co. Of America, which
will spend $125,0o0,000 in development
of hydro-electric projects.
Through eight separate dams cleo
trical power exceeding in magnitude
the energy now generated by Niagara
Falls will be created. Seven of the
eight projects named in the newspaper
story will be in Western North Caro-
lima and the other in Tennessee.
The projects In their totality are said
to represent lone of the largest and
most ambitious power developments in
the United States" and will require
years to execute.
Recent formation of the Natahala
Power & Light Co., with principal Of
flee at Bryson City, N. c., and an au-
thorized capital stock of $10,000.000, is
declared to be step in the plans of
the Aluminium Co. The lakes created by
damming streams will wipe out the
towns of Almond. Bushnell, Judson.
WesSer, Forneys Creek, Eppes Springs
and several smaller villages. The cost
of relocating railroads and highways is
given as $l.700000.
The Aluminium Co. Of America ac-
quired its first power site in Western
North Carolina in 1905. Two plants
now are in operation and third is
under construction.
The Observers story today says the
first step in extension plans for devel-
opment of the New Niagara" will be
construction of a plant at Fontana, on
the Tennessee River. 1t declares two
others are planned near the junction
of the Tennessee and Tuckaseegee
Rivers. one at Needmore and one at

"Now, on the other hand, if this
 intrusion gets within mile or so of the surface and most of it does not break thru the overlying roof rocks, i it will take this area of molten rocks years to cool down and freeze. It will naturally start freezing from the outer edge and the time will be sufficient for the heavier metals
 to sink deeper and collect more on less together As the magma chills, | it is a known scientific fact, that the darker rock-forming minerals, such as mica and hornblende, are the first to crystalline. The next to
 form are the feldspar crystals; and then the outer margin is like a sponee, the flores being made up of mica. hornb!erde. fler]spar, etc., the
 juice in the sponge being the still

 If this sponge is compressed some of the quartz juice will pe squeezed upward into openings i1i the roof rocks. The metals are Stili liquid or gaseous at this stage and l if they haven't all settled down . wards they will go with the quartz, That is one of the reasons why ouartz is so often associated with valuable ores. In other words, this excess quartz juice and any metals which may be tangled thru it are simply elected upward into the roof rocks when the molten intrusion crystallized."
 "But Larry, yoN saie much of the metals settled down deeper into the intrusion as the outer margin cool led. What about these metals? Are they completely lost? If they are, there must be scmc mighty rich chambers of ore in the heart of these intrusionS

SIMMONS ASSA|LS
OLD BUILDING PLAN
Five Year School Program Is
Called "Pork Barrel" in
Speech to Grange.

Attacking the old plan for FIVE
year building program for the city
schools as "pork-barrer' legislation,
Chairman Simmons of the District SUBJ
committee of the House appropriations
committee last night said the system
made it possible for real estate men to
extort "exorbitant prices" for property
from the District government.
Speaking before Potomac Grange, at
All Souls Church, Chairman Simmons
said he not only favored the new policy
Of "a lump sum appropriation for school
development. but also retention OF the
restriction against the District paying
more than 125 per cent of the assessed
value for sites.
Under the five-year plan, where
school sites we're selected in advance,
Representative Simmons said, 1t only
served notice on real estate men TO go
and buy up a lot of property in the
| vicinity, and hold 1t.
When the 125 pcf cent RESTRICTION

said, until this year there were no pro-

of two things is at fault-either the
owner is asking too much money for MS
property or else he had not been paying
his fair tax load to the District.

such as is provided in the pending

building policy, long ago discarded the
