Sale Of Silver
DeLGued In Senate

WASHINGTON Legislation to per-
NIT sale of 1,35O,OOO,OOO ounces OF
treasury-held silver for civilian uses
was tabled until Dec. l by the senate
banking committee.
Action on the measure, sponsored
by Sen. Theodore F. Green, D., r. T..
was postponed to give Sen. Pat Nc
Carran, D., Ney., leader of the SEN
ate silver bloc, an opportunity to
testify In opposition to the bill.
Senators from silver producing
states have expressed fear that the
bill might constitute an opening move
in a campaign to demonetize silver.

A vanadium mine in western Wyo-
ming will be developed by the Wyodak
Coal and Manufacturing Co., sub
sidiary of the Homestake Mining Co.,
it was announced Saturday.
The first contingent of miners has
arrived at the western Wyoming de-
post Of the strategic mineral, to be-
gin extensive exploration work, and
about rs miners left this week to join
them.
Company engineers and biologists
have been on the ground for the past
month, making detailed maps and
preliminary surveys of the deposit
which was located last summer by
U. s. biologists.

WELDEh GROUNDS;
Recently, a fire was caused by tn
grounding conductor from a welding
machine AS you know it is customar!
to call the conductor from an electric
welder which is connected to the worI
being welded the ground" con.
ductor. The other conductor con-
nected to the welding rod holder /;
generally known as the hot" con-
ductor. If the welding is done on a
metal floor, or bedplate the ground
conductor is connected to the metal
floor, so by placing the object being
welded on the floor the ground con-
nection to it is completed
This practice is often carried a step
farther by connecting the grounding
conductor to water pipes, air pipes,
electrical conduits or other metallic
systems that may be handy to the
welder.
The object to be welded is then at
tached to a pipe at some point re-
mote from the welding machine and
only the one hot" conductor is run
from the welder to the work Off hand,
it looks like an economical scheme.
Well it is, if you first make sure that
the electric current carrying capacity
of the pipes between the welder and
the work are adequate.
Recently this column told you how
to thaw water pipes with your
electric welder. The recommended
current for various pipe sizes and the
usual thawing time was given. That
table will give you an idea Of the cur
rent that will heat water pipe and
heat is what you don't want for nor
NAL operations.
Always remember that the same
current must flow in the ground"
conductor as in the hot" conductor.
Welding currents of 100 to 600
ampereS or more are quite common
and that is a lot of potential heat.
The heat that is generated by cur
rent going through a resistance such
as piece of pipe, increases as the
square Of the current. That is, 200
amperes will generate 4 times as much
heat as 100 amperes and 600 amperes
will generate 36 times as much heat
as 100 amperes. Steel pipe, like a
dapper little tease" has high re-
siStance so watch your step before
making connections.
The fire, which inspired this weekly
edition, was caused by the ground" (
current passing along a rigid conduit
an armored cable, water pipes, and |
metal pipe line used for air. The /
actual place where the fire originated (
could not be determined as the evil 1
dence was gone with the flame" but
t is known that this was the source
lor the grounded system was so hot /.
It times that it could not be touched
" hand
It's safer to use two copper con-
luctors from the welding machine to
he location Of the work, but if you do
Ise pipes for a ground return be
positive that the carrying capacity is
more than adequate for the welding
gurent 1t must carry.

The Elk Basin field was one Of the
first producing oil fields in Wyoming,
relates G. E. Shoenfelt in current is
sue of Petroleum Information, pub
lished in Denver. The first test for
oil was drilled in 1915. 1t discovered
oil in the Torchlght and Peay sands,
at 1910 feet and 1880 feet respectively.
These sands are members Of the
Frontier series and are locally known
as the first and second Frontier
sands.
The field was developed rapidly and
to date about 1856 wells have been
completed, 6 of which produce gas
from the Dakota sand. The Dakota
sand gas was discovered in November
1920, by Midwest Refining Co.
In 1928, pipe line was laid to Bill
inRs and other small towns along the
route. where gas has been marketed
since that time. This line was con-
nected by a branch line to the Dry
Greek field-in 1881. At present, Elk
Basin gas can be turned into the
Bozeman line or Dry Greek gas can
be- run through the line to Billings.

The year l745 marked the first time
that electricity was collected in guam
titles large enough to facilitate expert

! credited to Bishop Won Kleist, dean of
the Cathedral Of Comm, Pomerania; 10
Picier Van Musschenbroek, professor
at the University Of Leyden, Holland;
and to Cunacus. a pupil of Musschen-
brock and wealthy burgher of the city
of Leyden. At any rate, this inven-
tion supposedly owes its name to the
Able Nollet of France, who dubbed it
the "Leyden jar
Musschenbroek set about collecting

flask half-full of water. The flask was
corkcd, and a wire through the cork
dipped into the water of the jar. The
